Day 8, 9 and 10 | Impossible Weekend

I missed this weekend #blogeverydayinFEB challenge; so I’m including them all with today’s challenge as well.

DAY | TEN – What You Are Learning This Season

Throughout my entire life I didn’t know what patience was.  

And I’m still learning how to control myself.

I realized that without patience I can lose everything, my family, my husband,

my friends, my job and most important MY FAITH.  

I’m learning that everything is in God’s timing in the meantime 

He will fulfill my needs in different ways.

Day 7 | A Public Encouragement

Today’s #blogeverydayinFEB challenge is A Public Encouragement. The meaning of encouragement to me is having the power and correct words to give support and hope to someone.  This one was a little hard for me because although I have encouraged some of my close friends today I want to dedicate this post to my mother.

 Mom, you are the strongest woman I have ever met in my life.  Seeing the way you have suffered in silence the fact that grandma, grandpa & Titi Tata are not in this world anymore, the rejection of others, just because you may have given an advice or your words were interpreted the wrong way. I know at times you may think that you did not do a good job raising three women, or that maybe you could have done better.  Well let me tell you this:

Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. (you have given the best advices, and your love is felt everywhere)

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (you have help not only your daughters but your nieces and nephews.  Every time I talk to Jossie I feel the love she has for you and how she is grateful of everything you have done for her.)

Ephesians 6:2 Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise)(Watching how you devoted yourself with grandma and grandpa every single day, how you loved them and respected them made me as a daughter admire you more.)

Mom, no you are not perfect I know you have done things in the past that you regret, but guess what:

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (so therefore mamacita God has forgiven you, it is He the one and only to judge you and He doesn’t because he washed your sins away)

And remember in John 8:7 it says He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Mom, like I said you are not perfect but in my eyes you have been the perfect mother, the best friend I have ever had, my counselor, provider, protector and my first love.  And I want to be just like you.  Do not let anyone make you think otherwise.

I love you and you are the apple of my eye

 

Day 6 | Make Up Must-Haves

So today’s challenge is Makeup Must-Haves and this is a topic I can go on forever.  I love makeup, I love putting makeup on people and I love getting ready each morning just for it.  So enjoy these are my everyday make up and things I must have all the time. 

Skin & Eye Primer:

 Prep & Prime Skin and Prep & Prime Eye

To me these items are essential because the skin primers settles the foundation softly making it look natural and the Eye primer helps my shadow last all day long believe me when I say this.  I can put shadow on in the morning, work all day and go to the gym and I still have eye shadow, plus in doesn’t create line smudges. 

Foundation, Concealer and Powder:

 Pro Longwear Foundation, Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer and Studio FixPowder Plus Foundation

I have been using these products for years now.  And I tried a Two Faced Foundation, I ended up giving it away. It just doesn’t settle on my face like MAC does. 

Blush:

Brozing Powder

For some reason I don’t like regular blushes, and for my skin tone I just prefer a nice bronzer that makes me look as if I had the perfect suntan.

Eyes & Lips:

 Pro Longwear Eye Liner, Liquid Eye Liner, Haute & Naughty Lash and Lipstick in Hug Me or Film Noir

Let me just say that I have tried so many eyeliner brands from cheap to not so cheap and they all left the end of my eye all smeared and looking nasty.  When the MAC Consultant talked me into buying their eyeliners I think it was the best decision.  And there mascaras they are – to die for.  Right now there are just two lip colors I am using and those are Hug Me and Film Noir (I’m not too much of a lipstick changer).

Eye Shadow: 

Two Faced Natural Eye Shadow Collection

When it comes to shadow I have a whole case of different colors and different brands.  I love doing these dramatic looks for the night if I have an activity or a date with my hubs.  But since I’m always I work, I like more neutral colors and this Two Faced Natural Eye Shadow to me would be the best. 

Setting Spray:

 Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray

 

I saw a review of this product on Youtube it is the best!!! Try it.  It settles your makeup to a point that you don’t have to retouch your powder. 

Brushes:

I use all type of brands brushes from Avon to ELF.  I prefer to spend on makeup and not on brushes

What are your favorites???

Day 5 | Book Review

It's day 5 on the #blogeverydayinFeb wow, and I'm proud of myself I've been able to keep up yayy for me!!!

So, Book Review it is…

Reading is my passion, I have so many books of so many different topics; but years ago a friend of mine (Belinda) sent me a box with 3 books, and from these 3 the one that I can say has touched, inspired me and helped me in so many ways has been Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life.  My entire life I had no idea what self-respect was.  I never said no, because I was scared of rejection. So people used me, belittled me and treated me how they wanted too not how I deserved to be treated. 

This book is biblically based; it helps you understand the meaning of boundaries and codependency, it uses examples of real life situations of fear, rejection, etc.  Reading this book and using my bible and prayer as help made me understand so many things.  God wants us to set our boundaries in order to love others.  With this book I learned to be dependent, make my own choices, respect myself first and I certainly learned how to say NO.  

Day 4 | Story Behind My Blog's Name

Today is day four on #blogeverydayinFEB and the topic is “Story behind My Blog’s Name”

When I decided I wanted to write I had an idea of what would be my topics but getting a name was the hard part.  I didn’t want a common name, and I wanted something that would identify me.  So as you all my know I use to live in Puerto Rico and one of the traditional dishes is Mofongo which is made out of green plantain and you can stuff them with chicken, meat or seafood.  This is one of my favorite dishes and thank God I learned how to do it lol.  Anyway as I was saying, Mofongo is a traditional dish in Puerto Rico and since I was moving to the States with my husband, I was thinking about the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to go to my favorite restaurant and eat my mofongo in a long time.  And right there it popped up A Life Without Mofongo.  

Day 3| What Scares You

Today’s #blogeverydayinFEB challenge is “Something that Scares You” and just the thought of writing makes me already scared lol. 

As a Christian I know I should not be afraid, and I should trust God.  I can say I’m barely not afraid of too many things for example I’m not afraid of animals (some disgust me but not to scare me) but there are four things that truly terrifies me so here it goes:

I’m scared of the dark (When I’m with my husband or accompanied I tend not to get scared, but when he’s in the field, I have to sleep with the tv on.  Darkness terrifies me ever since I was a little child)

I’m scared of living without my parents – Eventually I know they will have to leave this world someday just like me but having them so many miles apart and not being able to see them everyday terrifies me.

I’m scared of being empty – Struggling with infertility is something I do not desire not even to my worst enemy. 

I’m scared of anesthesia – I have been put twice to sleep (anesthesia) for two minor surgeries and the thought of not waking up would make me cry.  Nurses would have fun with me lol.

What are your fears???
