Reality

Well as most of you who follow me on Twitter know that my Grandfather (my dads dad) passed away Monday afternoon.
I went to Mexico that same day to go to his funeral and had to come back Tuesday night right after it because of sumer school.
It was very sad and very unexpected.
I love him soo much and I know its going to be hard when I go back to visit and his chair will be empty.
I'm not going to say much else about him at the moment, I think I would just rather not.

These are the type of emotins that one should just keep to them selves.

I do want to thank all of you ladies who were so sweet and sent me messages with wishes for myself, him and my family. They were ALL greatly appretiated :)

I will get back in the swing of things, I think its only right. I am currently at one of my sisters house until my parents come back home. They decided to stay a little longer and well I dont want to be home alone and the BF working nights well yea... so those who had q's and requests I will get to them once Im back home :)

So anywhoo like I said Im going ot get back to blogging and such hopefully a makeup post tonight? :)

I'll leave this subject with my most FAVORITE picture of us :)

Yup, thats me when I was 7 months old :p

I think this was one of the 1st times we met hehe

Once again, thank you again for all the wishes and love and virtual hugs - they meant more than you know :)

RIP Carlos Martinez <3

I have met some of the most AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL girls in the world thanks to blogging.
There were so many times I wanted to delete it, but I am happy I've stuck around and I happy that I have been accepted into the screens of my beauty babes :p

Story Time:
I did not know about "Beauty Blogs" till about 6months before creating my own. I had so many people book marked on my computer! (This was before the "following" gadget)
I was so scared to start my own blog, but with a love this big for beauty and a vanity like mine, it just felt right!
I was able to learn about SO many things beauty and non beauty related just for having a blog!
Needless to say my makeup collection grew too ;)

ahh i sound like an old woman rambling on... so instead ill get to the

Its simple! Most of us are all makeup junkie! We love cant leave it!
WELL, Has it ever happened when a NON-MU Junkie sees your stash?! Blog? or Video?
And their like..WTF? "Why do you have so much makeup?!"
And of course "Cuz I like it" Is not a good enough answer...
So..what do YOU Say?

Mix 'N Match Nails?

So I am fairly new to the nail polish world, less than a year for sure.. well I would always do my toes and nails the same.. but then this happened:
*excuse the toe shots lol! i know i know, not the most flattering pix!*

This is Zoya in Tart

So I said...NO too plain.. but have glitter! SO I added L'oreal in Adventurous!

BUT I didn't want blue nails at the moment.. so I Just left the glitter...

WHAT DO YOU LADIES THINK ABOUT THIS?
Do you mix 'n match nail polish colors? Or always have them the same colors?

And for kix.. heres another NOTD!

Okay I lied ANOTHER Toe! lol! ..only because I didn't do my finger nails ;)
Oh! And the flowers are stickers! I got them as a gift from Tammy a while back, as I mentioned I GAVE UP on nail art, so stickers it is for me!
