Half Blonde, half maroon or dark burgundy hair...

Image
I'm sorry the font type is so large, I can't find my glasses lol one of the kids probably flushed them down the toilet... I wanted to gradually darken my hair so I thought I would start at the bottom, and work my way up to the crown of my head. I dyed it about a week ago, the top color is Clairol 11N maximum natural blonde, and I can't find the bottom color but I'm pretty sure it's Loreal Maroon Burgundy. The end result was a little more yellow toned than I had hoped for, but I was short on cash and bought the box dye this time. This is the color I had before which was a mix between T18, and another Wella color

Halloween 2011

Halloween 2011; I did my own makeup and failed miserably. I can't say I tried hard, but at least I tried. I had no time to do this look, so next time I know what to do to make it look nicer =) The kids looked so adorable and i got so many compliments on their costumes! It was a great Halloween <3 My failed attempt to re-create a Sugar Skull From left to right Gabriel Jack Sparrow, Lorelie Sleeping Beauty, and Joseph Sheriff Woody

Marilyn Monroe Collection (part 1)

Image
This is a small portion of my Marilyn Monroe Collection, which I started about 12 years ago. I started off with some originally signed postcards, which I sold at auction for the funding of my wedding in 2007. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures, I couldn't take them down so I did the best that I could. I also collect the things that she loved most, such as the Chanel No. 5 Oil Perfume that she wore 'till the day she passed away. I have the original newspaper cover from the day she passed away, and some original autographed photos. Enjoy! This one is completely black and white..except for the red lips. This is actually a huge portrait, a 4'x3' Another rare poster I had framed. This portrait was a pose for Vanity Fair, and is originally signed on the back by the Beauty herself. I couldn't reach these to take pics of them, but they are Barbie Marilyn Monroe's This is the back of one of the MM Barbie dolls

Mexico Trip

Image
My trip to Mexico started out with sad news...I didn't want to go at all, but I wasn't about to let my honey go by himself so he can go buck-wild with the girls over there, so there we go. We heard that Bobby's Grandpa was very sick, that he wouldn't get out of bed, so I figured this is it, he will probably pass away soon. We drove 36 hours straight until we got to the Mexican ranch called, Teocaltiche. We got there at 4 in the morning on a Sunday. Of course we didn't make it to see Bobby's Grandpa, he had passed away four hours earlier. In Mexico there is no way to keep the corpses preserved for viewing, when some one asses away , that same day or the next morning the families must hold the vigil, and then bury the deceased. The funeral was no longer than an hour and a half long, and then everyone went to pray for the soul of the bereaved. We were there a total of 14 days, but it was a very sad trip. I will add a nicer more upbeat blog about the good times la...

These are my newest creations. My version of "Sinaloaense Nails." These are my Jalisco Nails lol. Super easy to do, two coats of china glaze pink, white, and black nail art polish striped at a diagonal, with silver glitter polish over the stripes, then add rhinestones, and pink glitter nail polish, your top coat, and presto! They are acrylic nails (btw).

I had so much to do this weekend. On Saturday October 2nd, my Daughter's first birthday party was so immensely jam-packed with guests, I had served more than 400 plates of birria, by the time 9pm came around my feet hurt so bad that i was full of blisters. Of course I had to dance, and mingle with all of our friends and family but i couldn't stand up anymore. I couldn't feel my feet. The next day i had to clean everything and, there was an argument with Bobby and his Brother's wife. I stayed out of it, it didn't concern me, it was that bitches fault. Overall it was a good weekend, i was thankful to see all of my friends and family that i hadn't talked to in like forever. Lorelie looked so beautiful, and bobby was super drunk and then hungover the next day. **Laugh** I will post some pictures of my beautiful princess. I thank God that no one fought!

Maquillajes Y Unas Postizas

Image
There are a lot of ways I think I can express myself-Makeup, Hair, and Nails. I recently taught myself how to do my own acrylic nails, and so far I think I have done an alright job for someone that doesn't have money to get them done anyways. I say I can be choosy, just like them i tell myself they're not THAT bad. I grew up surrounded by Women that always wore high heels, even just around the house, that piled on the makeup daily. "Pa' que te quiera mas tu viejo" my Grandma used to tell me. I grew up believing that all women were like her (my Grandma), I was wrong, but I wanted to be like her. She would always wear the most boldest colored eye shadows, the most scrumptious red lipstick, and high heels that hurt you just looking at her walk. I want to be that Woman. A person that is not afraid of wearing makeup even though you're not going anywhere, wearing classic dresses with high heels, brushing my hair in an up do, wearing all the makeup I can blend togeth...
