A little about me.

Hello fellow makeup and beauty lovers. Welcome to my blog where I discuss monthly makeup/beauty favorites, recent beauty discoveries, product reviews, FOTD posts, food, life with a toddle(being a first time mom), and wifely hopes and dreams for the future. My name is Linda and I currently reside in sunny LA (primarily in the San Gabriel Valley). On top of my love for my amazing husband and spunky toddler daughter, makeup has always been a closet passion of mine. Since the age of 12, makeup was always a constant presence in my life due to growing up around a lot of females (mom and lots of aunts) but it wasn't until I discovered the beauty world of Youtube did I realize my true love and excitement for makeup. Makeup isn't a tool to hide insecurities behind. It is suppose to enhance your natural beauty while inspiring you to get creative. Thanks for reading and take care!

    Hello! Just replying... To answer your question: the baby wasn't an accident though everyone assumes it was! I wasn't "trying" to have a baby either. I wasn't looking at a calendar and timing the days I ovulate or anything like that... but because we are so stable and able to raise a child I wasn't against the idea. My hubs has been dying for a baby for over a year now and he would get so disappointed every month when I wasn't pregnant (i.e my period would start) so he was beyond happy to finally be expecting. My mindset on it all was..."when god wants us to have a child, we would" and I was just hoping I would be able to become pregnant and not have to go through any procedures later on in life to become pregnant... so I feel lucky! Because I started to become worried haha...

Personal Goals

Image
Like most people at the beginning of this year, I had set up to accomplish some goals. But unlike past years, I wanted to aim for more tangible feats that have been on my to do list forever now but were always pushed to the back burner due to having misaligned priorities and bad time management. Because I've grown to be more self aware of my patterns and behaviors, I've decided that this year I was going to reattempt some of my past goals and create habits to help keep my short term actions aligned with my long term values and beliefs. First thing I did in the beginning of 2019 was restart my blog. Writing for me has always been way I could express my thoughts and emotions through words. Back in 2016, I created a personal bullet journal to document and track my progress and experience in my new role as a cosmetic counter manager for the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom. My bullet journal became my baby during that period - I couldn't go a day without updating...

Anticipation

Image
Image: Courtesy of Elite Fitness It is currently 7am on February 2nd and I'm sitting at my dining table having breakfast with my husband. We both like to get up early and sip our coffees together while we chat before our daughter gets up. I cherish these moments I have with my husband because it is during these chats is when we take time to reminisce on our past and plan out our futures together. At the moment, the Winter season is still in full gear in the Pacific Northwest and that takes away the fun from being outside. The forecast actually indicates that we'll have a couple frosty days with highs in the mid 30s degree F and lows in the mid 10s. So Cold!!! I'm really excited for the Spring and Summer seasons to arrive because that is when this whole region comes to life - literally. The Everett Farmers Market will commence once again starting in May and for once I'm actually be looking forward to my birthday month - July; I can finally start enjoying my spring ...

Moments...Part 1 Update

Image
It's been some time since my last post but I'm back and ready to blog regularly again. Today is Sunday, Sept 08, 2019, and I'm sitting at my dining room table on my laptop while my husband and daughter are in the living room catching up on our favorite family past time, The Flash. As I sit here sipping on my cup of coffee, I start to reflect on all the amazing moment I got to experience during these last few months. I feel so lucky and blessed to be living the life I'm living : gratitude and appreciation towards all of life's gifts and lessons have opened up my heart and eyes to new and exciting possibilities. Back in the beginning of April, during Alaina's Spring Break, Alaina and I flew down to LA to visit family. Due to the longer than normal Winter frost we were experiencing up here, I was super excited to soak in some SoCal sun and see the palm trees once again. This trip helped me realized many things and opened up my conscious to the reali...
