Fall/Winter Favorites

Because winter is coming soon and we have to keep our skin nourished and pampered, these are the products I tend to use to prevent the dry skin during cold weather .  The deep and neutral colors would be my favorite for nails, for the makeup I look forward to dark burgundy lipsticks and a little bronzer to keep a little color (or fake it lol), I also use brown and beige colors for eye-shadows which I totally forgot to include here but I will mention the one I use below with price.  To keep my skin moisturized and smelling like summer I look into coconut/lime scents which is my favorite and last and most important my face.  It's all about preventing the wrinkles ladies.  It's not about "oh I'm young" NO it's about YOU USE MAKEUP EVERYDAY YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT.  Okay no more lecture, enjoy chicas and I hope this helps you out a little regarding products you may look forward in using.

Trying to Conceive

If you are reading this, I guess it is because you too are trying to have a baby and are experiencing challenges. My story is written here in my blog because I'm pretty sure there are other females out there experiencing the same pain.  And believe me it's not good to deal with it on your own.

Just to bring you up to date, I am 33 years old, hard to admit that - as I still feel like 20 but being in my 30's well it sounds so old in terms of child bearing years. As a teenager I envisaged being a stay at home mom with at least three kids. My daydreams included the whole deal - the station wagon, the handsome husband, the maid, and teaching and supporting my kids through all their various interests, hobbies, friends and stages of life, just like my mom did with my sisters and I. I saw myself as supermom! All that changed when I started working, saw myself as an independent woman and decided that I would be better off traveling, buying all my fashion designer stuff and just be free from marriage and everything that had to do with compromising my life (childish of me at that time) but there was no room for kids in my scenario.

Well, years later, I no longer wanted to be childish and immature. I had crossed 32 with no baby pangs, but it was brewing quietly. Unfortunately when my husband and I decided that we were prepared to have babies, that's when all the pain begins. 

I was sure it would happen within a few months but being a control freak, I scoured the internet to learn about learning fertility signs and possible issues. More than anything else I wanted to learn how to optimize our chances of conceiving quickly. 

Well the months passed with no success. I tried every tip my friends would give me because each one worked for so many others I talked too. But none of those tips resulted in a pregnancy for me.

Finally, I learned that it's not just about wanting a baby.  I realized I have the most understanding, loving, caring, extremely supportive husband I never knew I would love so much. A marriage that keeps getting better and better with each passing day. I never knew love could be this good, this supportive, this honest, and this passionate. I love him so much and for the first I don't just want A baby - I want OUR baby. I want our family. I ache to see him with our baby. I ache to see this tiny beautiful little product of our love - looking and being a little bit like him and a little bit like me. It makes me smile just to think of it.

For the last year we have been aggressively trying to have a baby. We will begin several 'natural' methods, doctor and even natural herbs. And if this does not work our next step is the invasive methods of all the clinical doctors. But I am determined that before 2013 ends, will bring us a baby. So please, join us on our journey to motherhood.

Pretty Little Secrets

And when I say Pretty Little Secrets, don't think about the program and that I switched a word, just read and you'll understand that what I'm really talking about is about life itself.  

When I looked up the meaning of the word (secret) the first thing that came up was Kept hidden from others or known only to oneself or to a few, concealed or confidential manner.  Really... Okay this is where my theory comes THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SECRETS.  One can try to keep it but the truth will always come out.  How?  People & Things.  See...  for example I have a secret but I'm too excited I tell my friend as a secret but that friend tell's their friend and it goes on and on and on. Or you have a secret you keep all to yourself until you leave evidence and bammm the secret is over.  Therefore SECRETS DO NOT EXIST.   You want to try and keep a secret be like me:

1. Don't tell -- Not even your best friend.
2. Don't save evidence
3. Let your memories be the friend you tell.

And with this blog don't think I'm leading anyone to the dirty things, I'm just saying Trust No One in what ever you do, job, relationship, friends, activities, anything.  Because none can be trusted.  And just like The Pierces song says:

If I show you then I know you won't tell what I said

'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

And no, no killing here lol sheesh I'm no assassin but I do know how to keep a secret well kept.  

New Journey 2012

Sorry I haven't been posting on my blog lately.  After moving to North Carolina I've been trying to cope, organize and enjoy myself and my husband.  But guess what???  I'm baaaack!

So here's a little recap of what I have been doing ever since I moved.   

While we settled down in our new home my FABULOUS husband tried to make me feel comfortable and he took me out to rollerblade.  This is the only picture I will post because I am TERRIBLE at rollerblading lol.

On Christmas Eve we went to my Brother in Law's house and spent it there, we danced and had fun then came home.  My presents well my boo got me a charm for my Pandora and a perfume I was bragging about since I moved.

New Years Eve was in my Brother in Law's house as well, we shared with my husband's family.  Besides the fact that it was my first year spending it without my family I can say that I felt good and welcomed.  

And last but not least these two special persons that you see here are my parents, my loved ones and the two persons I've been missing the most ever since I moved.  

This is it for now.  I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and New Years and please declare this new 2013 yours, be happy, respect one another and love your life and cherish it.
