It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories , but find yourself moving on.

No Shades of Gray

I’m Here.

I Love You.

I don’t care if you need to stay up all night long, I will stay with you.

There’s nothing you can ever do to lose me.

I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still  protect you.

I am stronger than depression.

I am braver than loneliness.

I see your tears. I know your hurt. I feel everything you feel.

Give me your pain. All of it. I want everything that hurts you, because I am a healer.

I created you.

I want you.

In you is greatness.

Stop worrying, stop crying, stop thinking you are nothing.

I am God nothing will ever exhaust me.

When It's Real



Hey guys I’m back…. And I absolutely enjoyed my Thanksgiving break it’s always so awesome spending time with family and friends, eating delicious food and sharing laughs with the people you love. Only bad thing is I didn’t step foot in the gym. Honestly, the gym didn’t even cross my mind lol I just wanted to spend as much time as I could with my nephews, little sister and my family.  While chatting sipping tea late at night with my fam the topic of love and relationships surfaced. How things are so different from how they used to be back in the day. It definitely got my wheels turning. Why is it that when we see old couples like my grandparents who have been together 40+ years, we aspire to have a relationship just like theirs we say something along the lines of  “o that’s real” or “they been through it all”. Why is this generation so different? You see more fakeness than real and it’s to the put where you can’t tell the real from the fake. So……. I came across this quote which breaks it all down for us by Trent Shelton (one of my fav inspirationalist). When it’s real and that guy/girl is really down for you, you will know it. Those are the relationships that last 40+ years. Enjoy

When it Real…..

You don’t just get a promise you get a commitment. You don’t just get a body to lay down with you get a heart that actually loves you, to wake up to. You don’t just get a partner you get a soul mate. Their actions follow thru with what they say they are going to do. They deliver on being the person what you need them to be. They don’t keep secrets from you. They don’t let people disrespect you or your relationship. They don’t stay cool with the people you have a problem with. When it’s real you don’t just get honesty…you get loyalty. Being honest doesn’t make them faithful….. loyalty does. Honesty doesn’t make them a good person it just doesn’t make them a liar. A loyal heart will never put itself in a position to have to tell the truth about living a lie. Don’t get me wrong, honesty will always be respected, but only through loyalty can someone be trusted. It’s great to be honest because you feel guilty but what’s even better is to not do something to make you feel guilty in the first place.

A heart that loves you doesn’t want to feed your insecurities, they want to stave them, they don’t want to put you in a position for you to question their commitment. When it’s real they don’t just communicate with you, they connect with you. They don’t just tell you that you’re special they actually make you feel it. They don’t just tell you what yall have is forever, they actually believe it. They have unsolicited appreciation, unguarded openness, an emotional bond with your heart that let’s you know that the love they have for you is real and not fake.

You know it real……

When you don’t have to question it, because they have given you no reason to doubt it, but it all starts with you. Protect your heart, know your worth.

Fall Stripes

It’s Fridayyyyyyyyyy…. and although I don’t really have too much planned but to hit up the mall for a few beauty products and some jeans, I’m super excited to just relax. These past few weekends I have been out of town visiting friends/ family so it’s going be really good just to sit back in my apartment cuddle up to a few good movies and some pizza and just rest. O and by the way I started back at the gym this week which I was super stoked about. I stopped working out for about 3 months because of an injury I had but I’m back and ready to start running again. It sure did feel good this week to put in some mileage seems like it just makes the day that much better. Anywho…. I’m starting to ramble. Have a great weekend guys see you on Monday ;)

Who Are You?: A Message To All Women

You are beautiful

You are smart

You are funny

You are kind

You are unique

You are worthy of love and affection

You are never too much, you are always enough

You are precious

You are a diamond, a rose, a pearl. The most stunning of all God’s creation.

You are worth more than the numbers on the scale, or the hair product you use, or the shoes you wear.

More than how many girls wish they were you or how many guys wish they had you.

More than the price tags on your clothes, or the percentage at the top of your math test, or even the number of followers you have on twitter.

Your worth surpasses all the earthly things because in the eyes of the Lord God you are loved.

You are worth dying for.

Regardless of who you think you are…

Whether you’re a model in a magazine, or you model pottery with grandma.

Whether you’re on the hot list or the not list.

Whether you’re head cheerleader or a high school dropout.

Whether you’re miss popular or you’ve never had anyone you can call a friend.

Whether you love yourself and love your life or, you can’t stand to look in the mirror and you feel as if everything in your life is falling apart.

Whether you’re such a winner or you feel like the world’s biggest failure.

Regardless of who you think you are, the reality is you deserve someone who would give up their life for you because you are

POWERFUL

and

STRONG

and

CAPABLE

My Singles…

GOD SAYS, “Don’t you believe that I know who you will marry, and that I’m capable of leading you to that right person? Can you also believe that I am the God of all creation? I know you better than you know yourself, I am perfectly able to bring this person into your life in My own time, in My own way. Don’t give up hope. Prepare yourself for your future gift. “You’ll be the diamonds in their crown.

Dream Catcher

If there is one thing I know to be true……. if you want something bad enough it will be yours. You may have to fight really hard for it but if you want it…. in due time and due season it will come to fruition.

I say this because…we all have dreams right? Plans to travel the world, move to another city, land that amazing job you’ve always wanted, own your own business, or simply just dreams to become a better you (we all should have that dream lol). None the less we are all hoping and wishing in one way or another for that special thing to happen in our lives. So what separates a dream from being a dream and a dream from being reality? The answer is o so simple….. ACTION

A dream can and will stay a dream if you don’t take the time to cultivate it and put in the work you need to in order to get where you want to be. Stop sitting on your dreams ladies and gents. Start putting your dreams into action. If you have to invest a little money do it, if you have to apply to 50 million jobs just to get out of the city your in do it, if you have to take a bus, train, or plane to a city and walk in every company you wish to work for and apply DO IT.  It’s the people who want it really really bad that dreams come true, because you see at the end of the day it’s YOUR dream no one else’s so you can’t expect anyone else but you to go after it. Stop sitting and start doing, stop wishing and start planning, because dreams do come true if you put in the work you have to.

October Recap

Houndstooth

You didn’t love her. You just didn’t want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or maybe she made you feel better about your life, but you didn’t love her, because you don’t destroy the person that you love.

Wild Cat Makeup Tutorial ---- Follow On Instagram @MsStarStyles for the Final Look & Video

Your going to start out with a freshly washed clean face.

Using a primer of your choice apply product all over your face as a base.

After your base has been completely rubbed into your skin grab your favorite concealer and conceal under your eyes, above and below your brows, and other places you may have blemishes.

 Foundation Time...... apply foundation all over your face and BLEND....BLEND....BLEND.... Set it with a powder of your choice.

Using a brow pencil fill, fill in your brows a little darker than you normally would for your everyday makeup.

Go back to your concealer and conceal directly under your eyebrows. This will give the brows shape and enhance their look.

Now using a bronzer, contour the hollows of your cheeks to give your face some depth. I’m making this kissy face so you guys know exactly where to apply your bronzer.

After contouring, use a pretty pink light blush to apply to your cheeks. Do this very lightly just to give your face a little color. SN: please excuse my busted nails it’s definitely time for a mani lol ;)

Now it’s time to have fun…. Prime both your eyelids with an eyelid primer. This will ensure that your makeup stays on all night.

Starting with a subtle brown your going to apply this color directly to the crease of your eyelids.

Using an off white eye shadow apply this directly to your brow bone and the inner corners of your eyelids.

Now using a black eye shadow create a very dramatic winged cat eye. Making sure you do not apply the shadow to your eyelid.

Using a gold loose pigment apply this color directly to your lid and blend out.

Take a felt tip liquid liner and darken the wings of your lid and line your top and bottom lids.

Draw a downward wing in the inner corners of your lids using your liquid liner , then fill it in.

It’s Falsieeee Timeeee…. Take your favorite lashes and apply, Then using mascara apply this to your lashes so both the fake lash and your lash will blend.

Using a dark brown apply a strip down the sides of your nose on each side and BLEND…BLEND…BLEND… this will create the illusion of having a skinner nose just like a cat.

Using a black liner start drawing your cat nose and fill it in. Then draw black dots on both sides of your nose.

Draw your whiskers on and make a face like mine lol lol lol

Continuing with your black liner draw small C’s, U’s, circles and dashes along your forehead and sides of your cheeks. This will give you the spotted effect.

Using the gold pigment you applied to your eyelids fill in the dots and circles. Oh! and add white liner to your waterline for that POP effect.

Your almost there.

Using a red lip liner line your lips then apply your favorite matte red lipstick.
