Ok so I might be technically a little late in this subject but summer last for a couple months. In my case here in Hawaii summer is all the time. Im going to tell you what screams summer to me and to a lot of us. great looking skin, a nice tan but must of all glowing skin.

How to achieve this beautiful summer look whit out the sun exposure or  if you don’t  live close to a tropical land… well  makeup is the solution!

It can be so simple that any one can achieve this look  and the best product to use is a highlighter that will give you that summer glow no questions asked. if you are someone that doesn’t have a tan no worries just grab a bronzer and this two together will do wonders.

Summer is here | Sun Care

Processed with PICSPLAY

 Oh Sunny Days…

who doesn’t love this time of the year when the days are longer and the sun is brighter it just simply perfect!

Well with all this perfection as it is, also comes a very importan subject that I want to talk to you. Sun Damage is a real thing we all have heard of it …Sun burn, sun spots, skin cancer in its worst case. So with that been said I think is very importan to explain to you why you need protect your self from the sun.

What Im talking here is not to just  protect your skin from the UV rays only if you go to the  beach or park…!!  come on !! we all know that right? no no here Im  talking on a daily basis and even when we are not directly exposed to the sun, how often do you think about it?? are you one that leave the house just to run errands in the morning or in the middle of the day?? ; Well let me tell you that is as important to protect your skin from the sun on those days as if you where to go to the beach..even on a day that you are out and about specially if you are driving on a hot day!!! yes you hear me right…we have no protreccion at all  from those UV  Rays and heat that our cars shoot at us, and often enough we spend hours expose to them  with out realizing how much damage we are indirectly causing to our skin.

Well know you know it this is really This time of year When the sun is stronger and and that our skin will get more damage, but the good News is that we can prevent all of this by using or include products on our daily regimen that contain SPF already on it, to simplify the use of sunscreen because no one likes to have tons of layer product on the skin specially on a hot summer day.

I personally like to use a moisturizer that has SPF on it to me thats the best way to protect your skin if you are out and about do that step in the morning before you leve the house and that will help a ton. Other option is to look for makeup products that offer SPF that could be foundations ,primers, bronzers, or Setting Sprays.FullSizeRender 3IMG_5218

 

 

Think about how much money you will save if you star taking proper care of your skin on a daily basis, because it really doesn’t matter how good or how expensive your skin care ine is If the foundation of it is not been taking care of it from the most abrasive element the Sun.

I really hope that you like this info and that you enjoy your summer to the max!

TANK YOU FOR READ ME …XOXO!

Affordable makeup that feels Luxurious.

    Not to long ago I went to Target to run some errands and obviously my inner addict drag me to the beauty department.Ok i was forced to be there and I told my self no need more makeup so “I’m just going to look there is nothing I really need” – said no one ever!!

Surfing  those long isles of products and brands delighting my eyes, I came a cross this brand of of Makeup that some how I have never seen before… my eyes immediately sparkle like in those cartoons I used to watch when I was little…

IMG_3831ESSENCE is the brand that I have just discover … any one have try this??

So I looked at the display and it seems to be nice, packaging is nice and simple but it feels good not cheap at all… Here I’m looking at the lipsticks and to mu surprise they are supper pigmented and they feel buttery and hydrating to my hans on the swatches…I’, intrigue now…I must try this…!!

Well, I end up buying some of their products, 3 lipsticks, 2 liquid lipsticks (gloss), 1 blush, ! matt bronzer and a concealer …all right  I say i don’t need any more but I can’t help it …i had to feed my curiosity and addiction.

This product are made in Italy and the are very affordable nothing is more than $20 personally  I pay that amount sometime for 1 or 2 products from Loreal or other drugstore brands …so I was very amaze by how affordable this cosmetics are not to mention they do have a very good quality that Feels Luxurious to me.

Here is some of the products I purchased and if you are in the Hunt for some affordable makeup products here you can find them ..Essence Website

Running in the dark to scape or feel frighten?

Last night as the year started I went for a night time run ( new year new me right) it was cold and perfectly quiet, to the point where all I can here was my thoughts…

– Wow it is scary to run at night! I’m wondering if someone is behind me??? Look back!

– I hope I get tired enough to go to sleep fast..

Back to to my paranoia…

– how would I defend my self if someone attac me from behind?? Did I just watch a video about it?? ( mental images run thru my head from and video I watch early in the day.)

I don’t know how many woman out there that run at night experience the same insane (not so much this days) thoughts. What I thoug it will help me with my stressful day and what it has been a good relax running therapy, converted in a “run for your life type of event”. Sure it may it been just my imagination or maybe all the crazy stories that we see in TV or the news but it got me thinking about what if something really happened to me??

How can I enjoy a night time run,when all I can think is… What if??

To all the woman and even man that like to run at night I want to know how do you over come the fear ?? Do you have any fear when it comes to running at night?

I know you might be thinking why you don’t run during the day?? Well like many of us I have a job and very demanding loving family to take care so often enough  I only have some free time at night to scape from my stress. 

I guess what I want to say is that even if I didn’t run at night with all the bad things that happen everywhere now and when you hear about people capable of do things that are unthinkable to other human beings, murders etcetera and you see that all over the news the paranoia of it gets to you and becomes this huge monster restraining you of do the must simple acations.

Should we be aware of this huge monster??Or can we just simply shout our eyes and ignore all the bad stuff in the TV?? Does anyone else feels like they keep playing with our psychological well being???

As many girls out there I enjoy All things fashion, Makeup, Food and definitely my family is everything.

I live in a beautiful Place call Hawaii I will love to share it with you Im  not Hawaiian but I’m a Latina girl just living in paradise!

I’m a strong believer in LOVE and if we are to do something, what better thing to do than the things that you Love.

So here I am doing something that I personally love in this new Year that starts I want to set some goals and do this year things that I actually love.

HOW MANY OF US HAVE SET THIS AS A GOAL FOR THIS 2016 ?

We often get caught off in all the daily rutting, School ,chores at home ,work, social media, our phones, TV and all those things that  ask for our attention; That we forget to just simply do what we love… even is   just for a few minuts ; look up to the sky and enjoy the view, take a look at the beuty that surrounds you what EVER IT IS.
