How Do You Unwind After A Productive Week

img_3211-2

WOW! What a week filled with so many great blessings. For me, when I say blessings it doesn’t always mean making money. For me, it means my life was fulfilled with activities that makes me happy, that fed me with things that I enjoy doing.

Doing what I love, by now you know it’s makeup, teaching makeup with my Beauty Blueprint company, meeting about my makeup company Entitled Beauty, creating content for my social media platforms, getting things crossed of my list for the upcoming Danbury Fashion Week while still being superwoman at home as a great wife and mother.

Today, is a beautiful Sunday. Here in Candlewood Lake it’s so peaceful. All I hear are birds singing and the humming sounds from people riding on their golf carts. I’m home alone, sitting outside on the deck enjoying my bottle of white wine from Josh Cellars. It’s nice to not be on a schedule for a few hours just having a lazy relaxing day doing nothing. Maybe I’ll take a nap outside and just enjoy this lovely breeze.

So, how do you unwind on your off days?

How Do You Spend Your Christmas Eve

Being that my family is from Honduras we celebrated on Christmas Eve. But as I got older I changed it up just a little. So tonight we will eat, drink a lot and open a small gift.

Then on Christmas morning I get up bake cranberry muffins, serve champagne and we open the majority of the gifts. Later I’ll put dinner on but nothing to big, drink, eat dessert and watch 2 movies.

What are you doing for Christmas Eve?

Power Outage In Connecticut

 

 

img_3671

Yesterday the power went out so I didn’t make a big deal about it because we were having a storm up here in Connecticut so I figure the power would be going In & Out all night. Since it was dark out I wasn’t going to go check nada out. This morning as we all headed out to work this is what we were greeted by. Seeing this I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy situation and lord knows it wasn’t. I’m just glad that our tree didn’t hit the neighbors truck.

List Of Things You Will Need To Rebuild After Hurricane Harvey

Residents wait on a roof top to be rescued from the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans ..Today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a day that has changed my life. I feel like a PRO with surviving hurricanes unfortunately. As I’m glued to my television watching CNN and talking to family & friends in Texas I’m hearing they are now doing MANDATORY EVACUATION in certain areas of Houston. Because I have lived through it and have managed to rebuild with some challenges I can share what you will need to move forward. So, if you still have time to gather a few things please be sure to grab the following items to help you with rebuilding.

  • Insurance Papers-Home & Business
  • Birth Certificates & Passports
  • Drivers License
  • Marriage License
  • Social Security Card
  • Taxes
  • Property Records-Home, Cars, Boats
  • Legal Records
  • Medical Papers
  • Shot Records For Kids
  • Kids Report Cards
  • Bills with your mailing address on it
  • Last two month bills -You will need because monthly service companies will lose all of your payment information so they will recharge you for service that you already paid.
  • Business Owners-Contracts for anything you lease/rent
  • Computer & Charger

mold homes

Hurricane Katrina 1

It will just make your life easier if you have these items. Get ready to fight, get ready to be on the phone for days trying to get through to who ever you need to speak with, be ready to stand in lines, be ready to research for yourself, read those last pages of your contracts so you will be ready for companies that will want to fine you / sue you later. Don’t expect that you will be good because you have insurance, know the difference between flood, water, and wind damages, educate yourself. Redcross & FEMA can only provide you a temp fix for a few days-weeks only. Hopefully you took clear pictures of properties in your home because you will need a lot of proof.

Good Luck with everything, stick together, spouses please be patience with each other. Everyone handle stress differently. This is the time that you will need to lean on each other. Men, it’s ok to cry, let it out, don’t be ashamed. Because you all are dealing with emotions that you have never experience. It’s so heartbroken to see others drowning right before your eyes will be something you will never forget. I made that mistake trying to stay strong trying to deal with all the bullshit that I didn’t have time to cry in process what the hell had just happened. Again stick together and talk to your kids because their little minds are in shock especially if they witness bodies. I’m still in shock from seeing dead bodies upon returning home.

I will continue to pray for Texas!

My Fourth Of July Was So Relaxing

img_3365

Started my day really late, my body was so exhausted from the day before that I stayed in bed as long as my body wanted. I have learned with having an auto immune that you have to let the body rest.

Plus, the kids were not coming home until 7pm so I had all day to go food shopping at Stew Leonards, pick flowers, while getting the deck ready because we had dinner outside. The food was left for Michael so I had an easy job.

So here are pictures of my Fourth Of July. What was your day like?

Girls Day With Connecticut Beauty Influencers & Beauty Bloggers

img_2675

What do Beauty Influencers, Bloggers, and Makeup Artists do when they get together? My girls, lifestyle blogger Ilse & makeup artist Daisy both have been doing some traveling this spring & summer so a girls day has been overdue. Ilse decided to host a girls afternoon at her home in Stamford, CT. When we’re together we love talking about blogs, sponsor post, luxurious posh items, we take tons of selfies while drinking and of course we talk about makeup & skincare products. We luv bouncing new ideas off of each others. We came up with something fun but now we just have to do some research then come up with a name. I can’t wait to share it with you.

This lumee case is giving me life. I can’t seem to put it down. My highlighter is everything today. Nicka K NY  bronzer in Nectar Soleil is my all time favorite. It’s one of the best bronzer out there for brown skin women.  Before you ask me about my signature lip color I’m also wearing from Nicka K NY Hydro Lipstick in  Gladiola. I don’t know what’s hotter my lips or the summer heat.

​Ilse came up with a great idea to stay cool this summer for adults. She likes to place Outshine Frozen Fruit Bars inside our wine glass. One, it keeps the wine at a nice temperature while outdoors. Then it also gave the Chardonnay a nice flavor. My fruit bar was mango so can you image the delicious taste that was.

When you’re with your girlfriends what do you all enjoy doing together?

What Did You Do For Your Favorite Guy On Father’s Day

Yesterday was perfect, I could not have asked for a better Father’s Day for my husband. Everything the kids and I planned went accordingly even the weather was perfect. My husband Michael is a very simple guy he doesn’t like a big production like myself. He prefer things simple but of great quality. So we managed to provide him with everything he enjoy including us on yesterday. His day of goodies were sports apparel, wine & spirits, cigars, and world class chuck steaks while sitting on the deck listening to his eclectic playlist of music.

While in the city all week working on Friday I picked up at Ceriello Fine Foods some chuck steaks. They have the best butcher to me for Prime Aged Beef. Whenever I know we are going to go out on the deck and grill one of Michael fav is chuck steaks. In between you and I, I think he used some of that Trader Vics as a glaze. #justsayin 

Michael ended the evening finishing off both bottle of The Macallan & The Original Trader Vics Macadamia Nuts Liqueur. Well, we helped him with that Trader Vics. Ladies, it’s is an exquisite flavor of Hawaiian macadamia nuts with a roasty touch of vanilla that I found to be perfect alone and with ice cream and probably coffee. So you may want to pick up a bottle for yourself, I know I’m going to.

What did you do for your father on Father’s Day?
