Perfume Review: Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift

I’m a huge fan of perfumes. I have a huge collection of various perfume brands which include Cool Water, Dolce & Gabana Light Blue, Bora Bora, Pink by Lacoste, Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria’s Secret, Vinatge Soul, Curve and many more.

For my birthday I received the perfect gift from someone very special to my heart, a gift in which I really wanted for a while; Taylor Swift’s “Wondersrtuck” Perfume. To start off I adore Taylor Swift especially her classy fashion so I was excited to know she had a signature fragrance. I’m very picky about celebrity perfumes they always seem to fail my expectations but Taylor didn’t fail me. This fragrance smells absolutely amazing not to mention the perfume bottle is adorable with gold charms and it has a rainbow glow to it. The perfume has such a sweet floral scent. It’s a very feminine and sophisticated fragrance. I’m definitely going to be using it all of the time. I can’t wait to try her second fragrance “Enchanted”.

Critica: Wonderstruck por Taylor Swift

Soy una gran fanática de perfumes. Tengo una enorme colección de varios perfumes incluyendo Cool Water, Dolce & Gabana Light Blue, Bora Bora, Pink by Lacoste, Dream Angels Heavenly de Victorias Secret, Vintage Soul, Curve y muchos mas.

Para mi cumpleaños recibe el perfecto regalo de alguien muy especial para mi, un regalito el cual quería hace tiempo, la Flagrancia de Taylor Swift “Wonderstruck”. Para empezar adoro a Taylor Swift especialmente su estilo clásico. Usualmente no me agradan los perfumes de los artistas porque suelen fallar mis expectativas pero Taylor no me fallo. Esta fragancia huele absolutamente increíble no cabe mencionar que la botellita de perfume es bella con “charms” en oro y tiene un brillo de arcoíris. El perfume tiene un olor dulce y floral. Es muy femenino y sofisticado. Definitivamente estaré utilizando este perfume todo el tiempo. Ya quiero adquirir su segunda fragancia “Enchanted”.

My Sister’s Wedding

December 5, 2012October 14, 2014

My baby sister Ashley said her “I do’s” recently in a beautiful wedding ceremony celebrated on a beach. It was a very emotional moment for me. Thank God we both wore great makeup products because we couldn’t stop crying and the weather was very hot. I had the great honor of doing her makeup for the wedding. Because it was a beach wedding I had to be very selective with the makeup products I used.

Here’s everything I used. Before putting any makeup on my sister I put “Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free foundation Primer” all over her face and neck. Knowing that the beach weather was going to make my sisters face a little greasy I sprayed “Urban Decay Oil Control Makeup setting Spray” before putting any make on her and I also repeated this after the makeup was ready. I used the “MAC Pro Long wear Foundation” which was perfect because not only does it last forever but it also has SPF 10 that protected my sister’s skin from the hot sun. With all the wedding stress my sister had major dark circles on her eye so to cover them up I used “MAC studio Finish Concealer”. To set the foundation and concealer I used “MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural Powder”. The blush I used was the “MAC sheertone Shimmer Blush” the color tone “Peachy Keen”.

For her eyes I used “Black Poppy Heart Eyeshadow”, “L’Oreal Voluminous Eyeliner” and “L’oreal Telescopic Explosion Waterproof Mascara”. Finally for her lips I used “Avon Plum Pout Lipcolor” and “Maybelline shine sensational Lip gloss”.
This was all of the process I used for my sister’s wedding makeup. These products are super amazing you lovely chica’s should try it.

Thankful

November 5, 2012October 12, 2014

We are in a very important month of the year…November. This month is important because we give thanks for everything we have. I personally think that we have to be thankful every day of the year not just on Thanksgiving Day. Every morning you step out of bed is a blessing. You have life, that is the biggest and best gift you own. As long as there is life there is hope. Be grateful for everything you have in life. Be thankful for the people who are in your life. Live your life to the fullest without any regrets. Give love to everyone that surrounds you.

Sometimes it’s hard to be thankful. I know the feeling because my life has been through many ups and downs. I’ve lived through many experiences I don’t desire anyone else to live but I am thankful because all of those experiences have made me a better person. I am thankful for everything that has occurred in my life because today I am a stronger woman.

I give thanks for my amazing sister who is also my best friend. I am thankful for my great mother and father.Thank you God for the man (my boyfriend) you have put in my life. I am thankful for all of my incredible friends who have been at my side always. Thank you for the pain and the happiness which have made me the woman I am today.

What are you thankful for?

Estamos en un mes muy importante…noviembre. Este mes es importante porque damos gracias por todo lo que tenemos. Yo personalmente pienso que tenemos que estar agradecidas todo el año no solamente en el día de acción de gracias. Cada mañana que tú te levantas de la cama es una gran bendición. Tienes vida, ese es el regalo más grande que puedes tener. Mientras tengas vida hay esperanza. Se agradecida por todo lo que tienes. Se agradecida por las personas que están en tu vida. Llena las personas que te rodean de amor. Vive tu vida sin lamentos.

A veces es difícil ser agradecida. Créeme lo se porque en mi vida han visto muchas dificultades. He vivido experiencias las cuales no se las deseo a nadie pero estoy agradecida por todas esas experiencias porque me han hecho una mejor persona. Estoy agradecida porque todo lo que ha ocurrido en mi vida ha tenido un propósito y me han hecho una mujer fuerte.

Doy gracias por mi maravillosa hermana que también es mi mejor amiga. Estoy agradecida por mi gran madre y padre. Gracias Dios por el hombre (mi novio) que has puesto en mi vida. Estoy agradecida por todas mis amistades increíbles quienes siempre han estado a mi lado. Gracias vida por el dolor y las alegrias que me hacen la mujer que soy hoy.

¿De que tu estas agradecida?

Peanut Butter Apple

October 29, 2012October 12, 2014

Hey Chicas,

I wanted to share one of my favorite snacks, Peanut Butter Apple dip. This is super easy to do and very delicious. Apples are a very healthy fruit with many benefits that include cancer prevention and diabetes control. Peanut butter is also healthy and contains protein and fiber.

Taste this very yummy snack trust me you’re going to love it.

Hola chicas,

Quería compartir con ustedes una de mis meriendas favoritas, Manzanas con mantequilla de maní. Esto es súper fácil de hacer y tiene un sabor riquísimo. Las manzanas son una fruta muy saludable con muchos beneficios entre ellos esta que ayudan en la prevención contra distintos canceles y ayuda manejar la diabetes. Por otra parte la mantequilla de maní contiene mucha proteína y fibra.

Prueben esta rica merienda créanme les va a encantar.
