I finally found the one

I have been to so many dates, some were good, some were terrible, some made me feel like a million bucks, but after a few weeks they were already giving me clumps. Some I would get rid off before bed time, by the morning they made me look like a raccoon. Some made me feel fabulous but by the end of the night I would have tears on my eyes. Some just after a little bit of resistance they would just melt all over my face.

But now these days are over because now I found the perfect mascara, our love is getting more and more mature and even with few weeks down the road it still feels like we met yesterday.



I am just loving this very sexy mascara and I'm gonna tell you why.
it is definitely high definition
it is definitely clump free
the comb works like a push up bra
can be used as supernatural lashes
can be used as very sexy lashes
its hypoalergic
it's clinique!
from the list you can find other mascaras that do the same thing, but the real reason I'm in love it is that it comes off so easy with just water and it doesn't leave you with raccoon eyes, like the other high definition mascaras which are so difficult to get rid off and with all the work, my eyes would always end up red and irritated and made it so difficult to wear my contact lenses.
I could talk about it all night, but the way it makes me feel I will soon be ready to go down the aisle and finally become Mrs.high Definition aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the name is: clinique, high defition lashes brush then comb mascara

Georgia Rule

No, this is not another movie review. Just how my day ended. I had a pretty nasty cold for the last few days, the ones you don't want to leave the bed. That much time in bed made me think, When did all the fun stopped? I always related cold to skipping school, making it look worse to convince mom to keep you home, having someone bring you food and tea, having attention maybe, I don't know... Well is not like that anymore for the first time in my life I felt really crappy and had no one there for me. I guess people around me are really busy with their lives but they did ask if I was ok, so I thank them for that. Again this is not my point,I am not writing to complain about stuff.

What I want to write about is, how much should we rely on people? How much should we expect from them? and from who? Of course there is no right answer for that but the best answer is: Rely 100%, Expect 100%, YOU.

As women we've been taught if not only from our mothers but as for society to seek others to make us feel better, to help us around the house, to change a tire. Are you going to be that woman on driveway waiting for someone to change your tires? I say learn how to do it yourself, is not that hard, really, unless you really really don't have the physical strength to do so, maybe the sexy technician can give you a hand. I'm not saying to do everything alone, I'm saying not to rely on other people to do so, and not expect it as well. So try it yourself, most of the times you can do it, if you can't then ask for help (that's what we are best at).

So going back to my cold, I spent a day and a half relying on people to do stuff for me. I stood up, dizzy, walk to the groceries and the pharmacy, got what I needed to make myself better. Cooked for myself, then since I was bored for staying home I decided to go to the movies with ME! First time I did it and it was much better than I expected! I was still a bit sick, but I felt great and I had so much fun! Better than staying in bed!

Sometimes we don't recognize how great we are as a person, but by looking deep inside, loving, and being independent makes us a better person, more capable of self love and more capable of loving those around us.
cheers!

Please don't tell me you're still using the brown bag


For all the working and academic ladies, you probably know the necessity to prepare and bring lunch from home. Unfortunately this task is not very sophisticated. The very few options in the market, leaves us with only bad choices: You can bring a not so stylish insulated lunch box, you can bring a shopping bag, or brown bag, you can hang around all day with zip locks in your purse, hope there will be place on the fridge, hope no one steals your lunch and hope nothing leaks, which often does. With so many complications many of us just rather to eat out every single day.

Built NY came up with great products to help us out!

The lunch tote , it's a placemat, insulates food and drinks in a separate place for up to 4 hours , it has a cool design and the material is neoprene, same one used for diving clothes. The price is also very reasonable, around $20!!!

Check out the electric collection, the laptop portfolio is a super sleek case. Guys would love that too. The first time I read about this company was at maxim online a few months ago. Yes I do read guys stuff! Ladies, it's a great way to explore the male brain and to shop for gadgets, since we don't hear about the cool new tech toys in the female world.

In case you're getting the lunch tote, maybe it would be a better idea to get the laptop sleeve and put it in your purse, otherwise you will look like a diver wanna be! which is not so bad if you love to dive, but it might look overdone in the office. (or maybe try to fit the lunch box in your bag)

The moms will love the baby products, I won't comment about it, because I know nothing about baby product, so check it out if you're interested.
cheers!

The Art of french teasing, oh lala!



When it comes to Lingerie fashion always go back to the basics. Europeans are the best. Spring/summer 2007 is all about Rock and Roll lingerie. Use and abuse of Black pieces, laser cut microfiber and satin. The Parisian lingerie Goddess Chantal Thomass shows the tendency perfectly in the merveilleuse collection. The web site is so beautiful, worth visiting. If you don't want to go to the trouble of getting this products overseas, you can find most of them on department stores, online stores and just get inspired for next time you are shopping at your local mall!
here is a list of the European brands, pick your favorites:
cheers!

Ready, Set, Spoon it!




I just can't get enough of low fat/low cal ice creams!! My prayers were finally answered. I've been trying to loose a few pounds for years now, but my diet was always ruined by this uncontrollable urge to consume sugar and carbs.

Last week I dropped by a convenience store and there it was, my dream coming true.

Ben & Jerry's low fat ice creams!On my way back home I was hoping it was not like the others low fat varieties which is not as good as the real deal but when I dipped the spoon I felt a moment of happiness. The ice cream was just perfect. it tasted amazing, it made me feel like I was eating real fat food, but I was still in control.


I also tried the breyers, chocolate fudge brownie, no sugar added (no aspartame, they use splenda) and low fat. It also tasted awesome!! Thanks to the new low temperature exclusion technology these companies are now able to give us what we want!


Check points:


1- Low fat doesn't mean low cal, keep servings reasonable!


2- Check the carbs and sugars levels


3- Remember ice cream is also a great source of calcium!! yay!


Now just pick your flavor!! CHEERS!!!

Mirror, mirror on the wall


You probably already heard about the secret, if you haven't seen it you should do yourself a favor and grab a copy of it. If you have seen it, watch it again. Some people love it , some people hate it for various reasons, but the bottom line is that no one can really feel good about themselves without the right attitude and this DVD might help you out to open up to the new possibilities.
What is the only thing most women have in common? They focus mainly on their defects and not on their attributes, hence I'm one of them!! Who had never said, hate my hair, my thighs, my nose, blablabla
The first thing we see when we take that daily trip to the nearest mirror is what we don't like about ourselves and worst we don't remember to be grateful for the things we have going for us
Now, how in this earth can anyone feel good in their own skin if we are constantly trying to attain perfection when it doesn't exist in the first place? I'm not saying that we should accommodate ourselves into a situation, but just try this:
  1. Be grateful for being healthy and your attributes
  2. Whatever can be done, then do it!! it is easier to complain about it than to fix it
  3. Whatever cant be done,learn to embrace it, not easy , but at least try to accept it slowly, eventually you will feel so good about yourself with steps 1 and 2 that this task will become easier!!
By the way don't do only step 2 this is where most people make mistakes, step 1 is the most important.
Everyone has room for improvement and is not easy, one must dedicate lots of time and energy into it but is there anything more rewarding then truly loving who you are?

What Very Sexy is all about


Being SEXY is something that comes from the outside. It's all about what you wear, the shoes, the makeup, the diets to die for but personally I don't think is enough...

Every women should feel VERY SEXY and it goes way beyond the things we are constantly being bombarded with everyday. Being VERY SEXY is something that comes from within, is how we see the world and most importantly how we see ourselves. It's about being positive, feeling good in our own skin, being healthy and being grateful for who we are.

These are subjects I love to talk about but lets face it, even if you are the most positive girl you still need to take care of your package! So you will constantly hear about the tools which I love: killer shoes, beautiful lingerie, makeup, cosmetics, diets, oh did I mention Brazilian beauty tips? exercises, fashion, and the list goes on and on!! So girls put A VERY SEXY shirt on and enjoy the ride!!!
