Maxi Skirt and the Islands!

Reading the title of this post I feel like there should be pictures of me frolicking on the beach in a long skirt fit for tropical weather. But its neither, but more so just a statement of where I live – the islands. Not to mention I was getting major tropics vibes from the gorgeous scenery behind me lol.

I don’t think I ever did a fashion post on here except maybe for my Forever 21 haul a while back but that totally doesn’t count. It would be a dream of mine to get some awesome fashion posts on here so perhaps I should start with this one. I don’t know how helpful it would be though since the items I’m wearing I don’t really have any links to purchase them but I really loved how the photos came out so I decided to do a blog post on it anyway.

I love being creative and doing mini photoshoots lol even its just me and a relative taking my pics to me its still artistic and definitely something I like to do for fun. This picture taking session starting off really random with no main theme behind it. In fact this was my Sunday ootd and I got quite a few compliments on it so why not capture it lol. Looking back now I really wish I had taken detailed pics, like that of my accessories and such but I really didn’t intend on this being a fashion post so here we are lol.

The top that I decided to pair this skirt with I’ve worn a few times already but I absolutely love it. Its a semi crop top with lots of sequin circles to the front giving it an elegant look.

Was absolutely head over heels with the movement of this skirt. It has a nice solid feel to it certainly not cheap quality in the least.

Finally for accessories I paired it with a pair of leopard print sandals heels that gives it that extra sexy look, a silver bangle for that nice material and my black sunnies that is reminiscent of old Hollywood.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading as this post happened a bit on a whim, but I really wanted to get something up nonetheless. Have a great day guys

Fenty Beauty Review!

I feel like I’m the last one on this planet to do a review of the Fenty Beauty products but I still wanted to upload it in case someone would be interested. I only purchased two(2) products from the Fenty Beauty line – the primer and the foundation. I feel like everyone has their makeup product that they are absolutely addicted to for me its foundation and lipsticks so I had to grab a foundation. Youtube, instagram as well as all the beauty blogs have been going crazy for the foundation so my expectation was set pretty high.

Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer – it helps smooth your skin for a better foundation application while stopping shine and minimizing the appearance of pores (these are the claims). My experience is not too far off, firstly I have to comment on the scent since that is the first thing that hits you. It is not heavy at all in fact it’s a light, fresh scent that has your face smelling clean dare I say lol. The texture is quite smooth, not heavy nor too light. And as for the application it goes on just as it feels, smooth and light. It isn’t drying at all nor is it too mattifying. It does cast a nice base for your foundation application helping your foundation to go on way smoother and even quicker thus having less work to do. In terms of “diffusing” pores I would say it does it a little but not a whole lot, it still gets the job done.

Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longer Foundation – for this I wanna jump right into my experience and can I just say how in love I am with this foundation. Starting off firstly with the shade that matches me perfectly (410). As a woc with yellow undertone it can be quite a challenge to find that perfect foundation as most makeup companies just seem to think that all woc have red/orange undertone. So this foundation coming out with all the different shades as well as undertones was highly appreciated. So the shade matches me perfectly, it also blends in quite smoothly, however you wanna blend it in quickly as it does dry down matte quickly. For the coverage it is very light, one pump would give you a light coverage almost skin-like, two pumps medium coverage still giving you that nice, natural skin-like coverage. So if your into full coverage foundations this may not be the foundation for you.          Wear – all I have to say is it lasts. I had no problem after many hours of wear with this foundation it looked amazing and was still holding on lol.

In closing I am in love with both of the items that I decided to pick up. I am looking forward to expanding my Fenty Beauty collection however and I’m super excited about the launch of the Body Lava luminizer and FairyBomb Glittering Pom Pom that will be dropping this Friday April 6th. How many of you guys are gonna be purchasing something from the new collection?

Who said this was gonna be easy?……..LIED!!!

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? A question that each of us has been asked dozens of times whether we want to hear it or not. For some it seems as though the moment they’ve been able to piss in their diapers they already knew the answer. Lawyer, photographer, model, teacher, they would answer confidently sticking with that path until they have achieved their life long goal. But what of the others who never really seemed to know what they wanted or thought they did only to realize “damn this isn’t what I wanted at all”. In fact, some like myself may end up in a career only to be unhappy and confused AF as to their next step.

Choosing your career is no easy task. For some though it seems as second nature like it was engraved in their DNA or somewhere in their hard-drive. Others…eh not so much! But never fear, for choosing a future career is something major. Afterall you will be doing this for the better part or the rest of your life so why shouldn’t you take your time. After all a career could make or break you, you often find when people are happy in their jobs it just seems to emanate in their entire lives. Thus making a happier and depressed human being. So why shouldn’t you take your time and take this ish seriously.

I however fall into the “ever changing”category. For a great part of my life i wanted to be a teacher, then i switched and went to university/college to study chemical engineering and like a bus hit me i got a random calling to be a fashion designer (in which case i took sewing classes) after that the road became vague and everything started to blend into a big mush. It seemed like the turn over rate increased because it quickly changed again from business manager to entrepreneur to interior designer to……well you get my point i was lost and it seemed like instead of the older i get the easier it should be to make a decision it was actually the more confused i became. I don’t know if its the aqua thing like i mentioned in my previous post but boy was i confused (still am lol)

Fast forward to present day where i work your typical 9-5 or should i say in my case 8-4 office job. Each day is well you guessed it a routine and it kills me. From the moment i wake up to the moment i reach home my life is like someone pressed the replay button and wont take their finger off. I always knew though I wasn’t cut out for an office job considering how quickly i get bored but what else do you do when you’ve been unemployed for a while and you desperately want to take care of yourself right.?

Sad to say i have reached the point of lack of motivation/ encouragement/ excitement in life. That feeling of being depressed in your job, which starts to turn into being depressed in your life. And trust me it ain’t a good feeling ☹

The stage i’m at now however is coming to terms with the fact that there might never be that dream career for me, that “ah ha this is it” type of job. But more so embracing the realization that you don’t have to be one thing, you don’t have to have that one job for the rest of your life. Who made up that rule anyway if you ask me rules were meant to be broken. If you want to work for yourself, work for yourself if you want to be a dancing astronaut who sells magazine on sundays by all means sir you grab life and you do it lol.

As for me where i’m at right now i just want to be free. I feel so much restriction that i just want to be free and completely happy. I have been looking into travel blogging seeing as how i have always been completely obsessed with traveling to different countries. Its one of the many different things i’m looking into lol. Any travel bloggers out there i am open to getting some advice.

Will definitely keep you guys posted on the career path cause I know i’m not alone out there. Just wanted to talk to you guys on this wonderful Wednesday. Keep safe
