De's loving Urban Decay Eyelash Primer Potion

I recently got the chance to try Urban Decay’s Eyelash Primer Potion, and I’m telling you, this is a must have in every hot mama’s beauty arsenal. This product took a few of my ehhh mascaras to VaVa Voom! I’m loving that this is paraben free, and contains wheat proteins and silk to give my lashes some muscle. To truly experiment with the primer, I only used it on my right lashes, and didn’t use it on the other. After applying my mascara to the eye without it, my lashes looked pretty good. However, the eyelashes with it, looked so much longer, so full of volume, and just really different. No clumping at all, just beautiful. I haven’t been impressed with a product like this in some time, and it will be staying in my makeup bag for a while.

Have you tried Urban decay's Eyelash primer Potion?

Do you love it?

Negate the Negativity From Your Life ASAP

How was your holiday weekend? Mind was so amazing. I cooked, ate, saw two movies (Ninja assasins, and 2012) and the most important thing I did was spend so much time with family and friends. I had a great time, and I hope you did too. But this weekend was not just about having fun, it was also about learning a valuable lesson. I have a friend Maria (her names been changed) who I’ve known forever. She’s someone that I don’t see often, but I tend to communicate a lot with through e-mail. Anyway, yesterday was a glorious day in the city so I decided to spend some time with her. We met at the Starbucks across the street from my apartment, and from the moment I saw her, I felt some vibes-and they weren’t good ones. The first thing she did was stare me up and down, comment that I’d gained some weight, and asked me when I was going to dye my hair. (How’s that for a greeting? ) I was a little put off but she’s a friend (or so I thought) and I let it go. But, after I ordered my 5 pump chai, soy latte, and I actually sat down with her, and started to ask her what was going on with her life, and all she kept doing was making weird remarks to me such as “How can you afford your apartment?” What do you plan to do with your life if your dream doesn’t come true? You wasted so much money on your degree and you’re not doing anything with it.” I started realizing something wasn't right.



After being with this girl for 20 minutes, my positive energy began to wane, and I felt almost as if I was being sucked in by so much negative energy that I couldn’t breath, and positive DE all of a sudden became negative De. Instead of smiling, I was frowning, and feeling angry, and started questioning myself and just getting annoyed.
Luckily, I realized what was happening, and quickly excused myself and went home. As I walked back home, I thought back to our friendship and realized that it had always been me who had been positive around Maria. It was always me, who had encouraged her, and been happy for her, and she had always been my biggest naysayer. At the time, I had said that maybe it was her just trying to be realistic, but it wasn’t. It was her always being so darn negative. I also realized that when I saw her, she had not said one nice thing to me, and even in the past every time I had seen her, she hadn’t said a nice thing to me either. She was always so negative. So last night, I did something I rarely do. I deleted her # out of my phone book, and out of my life. Negative people are toxic. When you start listening them too much, they can truly take over your spirit, and you can become negative as well, no matter how positive you are. Misery loves Company, always remember that. When someone is too negative, realize it, and wish them the best but move on with your own life and eliminate them from yours. It’s important not only for your success but also for your health. After I deleted her number from my phone, a sudden feeling of calmness and relief came over me, and it was then that I knew I had made the right decision.

What are some experiences you have with negative people?

Did you eliminate them from your life?

Happy Thanksgiving Lovelies

Hey guys, Today is Thanksgiving, and I'm so happy. Yes I get to eat a gazillion dishes, but I'm also happy because I'm going to be spending time with my crazy Dominican/Jamaican Family. (My honey is from Jamaica.) I love my family. We're very dysfunctional but we love each other none the less and I'm so thankful for them.

But anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for being so amazing. I'm so thankful for all of you, especially the readers that I've had for years. I really appreciate it. You guys are wonderful. I wish you and your families a very Happy and Wonderful Thanksgiving.

De's loving Mario Russo Miracle Styling Creme

So as you guys know, I’m addicted to TJ Maxx (well the one that just opened around my house.) I recently bought this Mario Russo Miracle Styling Crème for $3.99 (although it currently retails for $24.99.) All these amazing deals! Anyway, this stuff is fabulous. I applied it right before I started blow-drying my hair. It contains olive oil, aloe, and vitamin E three great ingredients for the hair. This is a pretty thick consistency, so you only need a small amount. After drying, I was left with super shiny, frizz free, and lustrous hair. I barely had cowlicks (which never happens when I blow dry my hair.) My hair looked absolutely beautiful!


Have you tried Mario Russo Miracle Styling Creme?

Are you addicted to TJ Maxx like me?
