New Makeup and a Braided Updo

Doing my thing, behind the scenes for a Commercial shoot recently;

I recently got given this amazingly infamous Palette called 'Naked' by Urban Decay- It has the best range of colors to create a natural look to something dark & smokey!

My sister asked me to do her hair this morning so this is what I came up with! ;)
I did a french braid from the front of her head on each side and slanted it down to the nap of her neck and braided to her ends, then I wrapped each braid around the opposite side of her head and pinned securely with bobbi pins.
A very cute & romantic look-

Look out for my upcoming interview with Caroline from FlyMyDarling ! She is doing a series of inspirational videos that she will be posting online.
In my interview I talk about;
-Beauty from within
-Accepting yourself and loving your flaws
-Success
-Creating a positive environment at work
-How you feel inside and how that effects your whole world!!

I love this quote and it is sooo true!! How we look and feel about ourselves determines others reactions of us!

Beautiful Quote by Bob Marley

This man was such a legend, so inspiring and an extremely talented musician.
I love these quotes! :)

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

Beautiful Words

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

Brene Brown

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It’s too bad that you want to be someone else
You don’t see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Rumi

But it is not what I am saying that is hurting you; it is that you have wounds that I touch by what I have said. You are hurting yourself. There is no way I can take this personally.

Miguel Ruiz

Read in bed. RISE WITH THE SUN. Devour books. Be ridiculous. Stop worrying now. If not, then when? MARRY YOURSELF. Write a letter. Colour. Get organized. Go to your favourite restaurant. Don’t order the usual. Yoga. Grab a latte. Invent new ways to love. BE ENDEARING. Transform negatives. Delight someone. Be who you truly are, love what you do and the money will follow. Believe in everything. Contribute to someone’s success. ASTONISH YOURSELF. Eliminate clutter. Listen to music with the bass on max. Save for a rainy day. Save for a vacation. Take a different route to work. BREATHE. Treat yourself. Tell your friends and family you love them. Collect your pennies. Order an expensive bottle of wine. Hold the door open for a stranger. SMILE AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR. Learn from the past. Let go of the past. DANCE. Always be curious. Paint your nails. Sing out loud. Laugh out loud. Eat your fruits and veggies. Hug your loved ones. Chin up. Head high. Fake it ‘til you make it.

“The word “surrender” is often interpreted as giving up, as weakness, as admitting defeat. Although this is one way to use the word, we will use it in a different way. Surrendering means letting go of your resistance to the total openness of who you are. It means giving up the tension of the little vortex you believe yourself to be and realizing the deep power of the ocean you truly are. It means to open with no boundaries, emotional or physical, so you ease wide beyond any limiting sense of self you might have.”— David Deida

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty…in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.” -Deepak Chopra
