Makeup is my creative distraction from an otherwise hectic life! I'm a busy Mom of 2 and an aspiring makeup artist and everything and anything related to beauty captures my interest. I'll share with you some of my makeup looks and reviews, and also a few bits and pieces from my life. Beauty really is in everyone, you just need a couple of good makeup brushes and a helpful technique to unlock your inner goddess!

Update: Weight Loss Journey

Hi Darlings,

I know it has been so long since I last blogged, I guess I went into a period of hibernation for a while.  I wanted to do a quick update post on my weight loss journey.  I promise to put up pictures and FOTD's as soon as I can.  I haven't been makeup shopping in a while so I don't have much to review, besides a few products here and there.


The last time I posted on this subject I was 159.  I am currently at 150 (which brings me only 5 pounds away from my goal of 145).  I've been consciously keeping track of everything I am consuming and how much physical activity I get.  I was keeping on pace with my usual running workouts and was doing Bikram Yoga for a while (which I loved -- as intense as it was!) and also started taking some dance and zumba classes. 


To say the least I feel incredible about myself.  I think I accomplished something that I didn't think I was capable of.  To go from being in the 200s down to 150 is an amazing achievement and I just proved to myself that with hard work, dedication, and determination I can do anything that I set my heart and mind to.  I hope this inspires you out there to take control of your life, and your dreams.


I'll leave you with an a before and after picture.  The picture on the top (November 2009 at a friend's wedding) is me at my heaviest and the picture on the bottom (July 2011 at a friends baby shower) is me now...



Dreams do come true and my smile is proof of it!

Sending positive thoughts your way...
