Making the blueprint : setting goals for your life

Hey dolls!

This year was a very challenging year for me. I keep saying that. I guess all my twenties have been a roller coaster. More downs than ups, but I'm a very common sense kind of person. I know that in order to make something out of nothing you need a BLUEPRINT . Basically instructions to get to the goal. Now sometimes the goal isn't what is important. Sometimes your blueprint is just the beginning and GOD will control the rest. You can't just build a building with the hopes that it will magically appear. You need the materials, money and blueprint to build it. I keep forgetting all that I know. It is draining to always think about your moves. I've been like that most of this year. I stopped writing what my goals were and more importantly the steps of how I wanted to get there. Pick a goal today. Write down how you think you will achieve it. I will too. Let's do this together!!! I will update you Guys in a few months and reveal what my goal was. Good luck!

Meal prepping!!

Hey dolls! I made time today to meal prep for the week. Let's see if I can keep this up!! 

Hello ❤️

Hello!!! My collar wasn't tied right but oh well ✨✨✨✨

New start = mixed emotions

Hey dolls!

I recently got another job & I've been occupied with that. I took a 4 month break & I had to go back. I def miss my boys a lot. I got super attached to them. It's been really emotional for me .... When I get emotionally tired I don't like to do my makeup or be online. I check my stuff from time to time, but I've been down. I'm thankful for a new job but I'm leaving behind a lot. At 28 I feel like I need to accomplish things so my boys will have a nice house to grow up in . Instagram and social media show us how rich people are, but that's just a very very small amount of people. It's hard not to compare right? Millionaires chillin at home with their kids and I gotta hustle and get home after so many hours. I don't mean to sound unthankful but man....life can be tough sometimes. It's just been one of those years. 

My go to powder : kat Von D

My go to powder to set my foundation! I've been using it for a year now. 

10/10 at sephore: kat Von D lock it powder

Light nude opaque polish!!! 💗💗💗

One of the most helpful eyeliner pictures!!

Hey dolls! Cat liner is my fave! The best way to shape is to start at the corner of your eye and drag it out. Then work on the rest. I would make the liner edge longer though ...with no thickness. 

My joy my niece!!!

Y'all feel me!

Make any eye color pop part one

Hi dolls!!!

The picture above is from snapchat. Snapchat has low quality photos. I wanted to show that even with low quality phone pics, my eye popping tricks will work. 

According to eye color: 

Brown eyes: some people don't have just brown eyes. They have pigments of other colors. If you do have other colors, pay attention to what it is and try to use my tip on that color. For dark dark eyes brown eyes I would definitely buy the naked palette. I love the colors buck and half baked. The colors will look beautiful together and compliment the brown color. Also purple eyes and dark blue eyes are complimenting!!! Try out a crease color of dark purple. 

Hazel eyes:

I'm the expert on this because my eyes are hazel. My absolute favorite is orange tinted shadows on my crease. I looooove it . Purple pop out my green as well. In the picture above....  I have caramel and morocco from the amrezy palette. Anastasia has individual eyeshadows coming out on November 18th . I'm sure the colors will be there. 

Blue & gray eyes :  oranges, golds and browns!!! A smokey eye like the one. I have in my picture will really pop out. Gold mine and amber lights from mac are perfect!!! 

Hope this helps!!!! When I do. Post on how I pair shadows and why .... It will become more clear

What is a best friend? ( as an adult )

What is a best friend when you are married with kids?

I have experienced this for a while now. Having kids and a marriage for 6 years plus. I was the first to marry, to have kids and a full time job. But I was still 22. I wanted it all though, and thank god that my husband and I don't suffocate each other. Sometimes I wonder how some couples would deal with what I have dealt with. The balancing act. I swear that's when it gets real. When you add a second one.... It gets more real. See people will watch one kid... But it's very hard to find anyone with patience to take care of a newborn and a toddler. My mom and in laws have been the best. But there's only enough time for couple time. We wouldn't want a night out away with a bunch of other people. So what is a best friend? I still have a friend in my life since I was 5. We barely talk. But web I need her and she needs me.... We are there. That's what a best friend is to me. A holder of secrets. A person who you can be absolutely honest with and not care that they will judge you. Sometimes we tell people things and we ask ourselves why we did because you notice they think they are better than you now. You can't tell everyone your weaknesses. When you are married & have kids there is hardly anytime to see your best friends more than once a week. A normal person doesn't. My prioritys are my kids , hubby and intermediate family. Im so thankful I have best friends that understand this!!! A best friend is a loyal person who you can tell anything to and feel relief. They save you and help you through. Spending Time has nothing to do with it anymore as an adult. Do you agree?

Here is a quote for the haters

Anyone who thinks any type of opinion matters to me. You aren't GOD. No one else matters.

My hair was so light!!!

A small amount will freshen up EVERYTHING

Hey dolls!

I have been using this scent booster with my laundry for a while. You throw a cup of it ( the lid cup) into each wash. Your sheets and your towels and clothes will smell soooooo good for weeks. There are  different sizes and 3 different scents. I buy mine at target. This is my favorite scent !!! Xoxo Sadaf

Lipstick :

Mac cosmetics - diva - matte

This lipstick is super pigmented but more creamy than the other mac lipsticks that are matte. I would say it is a semi matte. Which is my favorite. My lips are super super chapped all the time! This lipstick doesn't dry out my lips.
