Plump Lips



I know that everyone wants to have Angelinas lips, but reality is that these are one in a million.
That does not mean, though, that we cannot try and do the best we can to work with what God and nature gave us.
I have to admit, I have my fair share of lips but still, I wanted to show a simple trick that has worked for me...just to make my lips seem a little plumper and subtle.




The first step is to brush.
Brushing your lips while you brush your teeth (and that means including the minty toothpaste)
will eliminate flaky skin.
The second step would be to delineate with a natural color lipstick (I would suggest Outlast lipstain cause it dries fast and usually stays longer.You could also use a lip liner as well.



The third step is to do the same thing on the inside of  each lip.
Imagine drawing lips with a pencil on a notebook...how would you make them look 3D?
By shadowing the outer and inner lines, it will visually create depth.


The last step is to apply my favorite lip plumper by Sally Hansen
As you can see on the third picture, I let half of my upper lip without the lip plumper so you could actually see how wrinkled my lips are before  and how lines disappear with this magical and cheap plumper!
Happy kissing!!!

I LUV DREW








Happy Birthday Girl!!
I gotta say I loooove Drew.
She is the perfect mix of chic bohemian/rock and roll rebel that I absolutely can relate to.
I am also very proud of the fact that even though she started using drugs at such a young age she managed to stop, have a long succesful career and look better at 37 than when she was 20
(not an easy task..neither of them!!!)
She is still wild  at heart, but smart enough to manage it.
With all the losses we have had recently I can honestly say:
I am really glad she is with us!!
*standing ovation*

Second Saturdays P.1









I got the chance to go for the first time to this Art and Design event called "Second Saturdays"
here at the Design District.
My husband and I had to celebrate our Valentines day yesterday since I work on the 14th, so this was our date, and boy did we have fun!!
The streets had an energy, they were DJs on a few corner giving the event a "beat" and for me, nothing can "beat"
a night full of art, fashion, music, WINE..and...being outdoors!
Oh...I forgot great food...
More pictures of this night to come!

Polka Dots





Red sweater crop:gift  Polka dot Palazzos: Necessary Clothing, shoes: BCBG

There is something about me and polka dots that i have yet to understand...
we simply attract each other.
Maybe that's why I was born with a polka dot shaped birthmark right in my face.
Maybe polka dots just love me, or vice versa...or its just that they love me more...
yeap, that MUST be it!

Tequila Anyone? (DYI)







Ok so I guess by now you realize that this is NOT a DYI to actually do your own tequila, although disappointing to some, for the1/4 of the population who ISN'T a fan of this poison (me!) I thought I should post how to use your friend's empty bottle of Tequila.
But, It cannot, and I will emphasize on this, CANNOT be any bottle of Tequila, cause not all tequilas come in such a cute vase like these...(plus I have to say..if you HAVE to do Tequila, please do a good one!)
So here it is...my two new flower/plant vases...
I took out all the labels cause,you don't want it obvious to everyone you drank the whole bottle of tequila (and trust me that's what they will think!!)
You want them to be surprised that it IS a bottle of Tequila, and only THEN they can think you're an alcoholic!
Add a simple sprig of green, some quartz or nice stones and voila!

PS: If you guess correctly the number of times I wrote "tequila" in this post, you have a round of shots on ME!

Wild








This knit was found in a Goodwill I have close by...
I am a regular there, and every time I come by, they receive me with a Gin Martini in hand and an assistant that will handle every item I grab to keep.

It's incredible how
a small touch of animal print,can set your wild mind and spirit free...
try it.

I just did.
