Talk Booster - Last of 2011 (Dec.31st)


The last Day of 2011 and what year it had been!



There are so many blog posts and things that are last minute kinda in a way to make this new year start fresh and beautiful, like an angelic bright shining moon shining down upon ones face. It's the last moment to speak all your 2011 thoughts and move forward to a excitable, fresh year. It's a year to make or start new changes and go about new obstacles, tasks etc. It's about keeping the things you found work and leaving behind the things that didn't work. It's also another year to figure out new things and explore, be adventurous along with spice up a little or a whole lot of fun! It's a new year to meet new people and learn new things and shine the best you that you can. It's also about moving up front in focus to what you never allowed yourself to in 2011. 2012 is the year, to let yourself be you and the best you that you ever have never allowed anyone to fully see. It's about being vulnerable but still keeping your boundaries. It's about taking risks and sometimes just jumping full force but sometimes it also takes a little bit of down time to recognize and figure out. The most important thing of all is to be thankful, thankful for all that had happened in 2011 whether good or bad. It's about thanking the things or people that life through your way. 2012 is about starting fresh and being determined to chasing after those goals, not walk but run into completing them and making new ones. It's about giving yourself a challenge to fulfil for a new year, so you don't feel stuck into the pasts or that of 2011. It's about making your life LOUD, FUN and letting this charmed life on earth be a gift not taken for granted but treasured with all your heart and soul. Life give you what you ask, it's all about your approach.. be negative then you get the negative surrounded into your life. Chose to be positive and life gives you many treasures that you never let yourself fully see. What you ask for is what you receive, so ask for the greatest treasure of all the gift of simplicity. It's that which makes you realize and appreciate life. It gives you a bright beautiful light into your soul knowing the fact you are grateful, calm and at peace. 

- LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SO LIVE IT LIKE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING & TREASURE IT LIKE IT'S GOLD. ALLOW THOSE YOU LOVE TO FULLY SEE YOU VULNERABLY BECAUSE INSIDE IS A BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT, LOVING, HEART WARMING MIRACLE WAITING TO FLY OUTSIDE THE BAR DOORS to AMAZING LIGHT OF TRUE BEAUTIFUL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. SO TREASURE THAT AND YOURSELF. BELIEVE, INSPIRE & TREASURE. <3

As for myself I wanted to end this with my 2011 thankful thoughts floating around. 

* I am thankful for my family, without a doubt. I honestly can say right now as I sit here and type this I don't know where I would be today. I don't know if I would have even came as far as I did this year. I am so appreciative for the relationships that I have allowed to become more than what I have ever allowed myself to feel or be apart of.

* I am grateful for all the obstacles and challenges that came my way because even though they may have been hard I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot not only of the situation but of myself.

* I am grateful for life even though I honestly can say I never really have been in the past to be completely honest.

* I am utterly thankful for the friendship that I allowed myself to gain with my cousin because I don't know where I honestly would be, truthfully. He is not only my cousin but he is also like a brother to me that I never had but always wanted. He has had my back so much this year and I never thought in a millions I would find someone who's opinion I value as much as I do his. He is genuinely kind hearted, intelligent to the t in smart. He is always looking out for you and your well being for sure. The most, best part of him that I admire is he's truthfulness. It's not sugar-coated it's the plain truth the way you see it in front of your eyes and I love that aspect. I love it because I know that I have he's honest opinion which I value very much. I am absolutely grateful for him in my life.

* I am unexplainable-y grateful for the 4 strong friendships that have remained, reformed or even become in my life. I am very thankful for them because I know, no matter what that friendship is always there. These few I know have been here for a long while and have not left my side even if we don't see each other regularly because of life's busy ways. They're still always in my daily thoughts as I roam lives beautiful days. They get me each in their own way and love the parts of me that they love because they genuinely like me for me. I know it has taken me a long long road to finally find the best of friendships but I have definitely found them and cherish them deeply. These 4 people literally make me excited each and every time I get to see them! They make the inside of my soul light up as bright as the California sun on a hot day. They are each different, unique, intelligent and beautiful in there own way and I will continue to love and treasure them for the way they're and even as they change and evolve through life. They make my life that much brighter & lighter. They are also the piece to the best part of me.

* I am thankful for the opportunity of allowing myself to be able to let someone 'see into me' with flaws and all. The best and worst parts that not everybody knows or see. I am thankful because I have made progress in life in the utmost unimaginable ways ever. I have become more than I have ever allowed myself to see, believe or let be and because of that I am truly grateful for the guidance of this person. Sometimes some people see miracles inside another person better than you can of your own self. 

* I am truly grateful for My littlest cutest sweetie pie niece!! I lOVE her to pumpkin pie, ice cream sprinkle pieces! She is the most adorable, precious gift ever. She just makes me smile and lights up my sky. She's the most joyous and energetic little daisy walking in my life right now. Her hugs are the best along with her smile and cute laugh! Her innocence is what makes life shine, no matter what kind of day I've had. 

* I am undoubtedly thankful for my parents; I know life hasn't always been this way but as life moves forward I become to see things in a whole new light. Sometimes life doesn't give the best situations but it gives the best lessons. It gives you things in a whole new perspective as to what I previously had allowed myself to think or believe. It makes you not take certain things for granted even though it has happened a way in which you never wanted. Some times in life I have learned life isn't always greener on the other side. 

* Another person that is very smart that is part of my life is 'a' she is just so smart, like a jar of cookies. A little or a whole lot of hyper sometimes but it just wouldn't be the same without the noise if it was constantly completely utter silence. Definitely a bright shining future ahead for sure. 

* The best part of my life that I am really happy and joyful for is all the most positive intellects that have been part of or walked into my life through life's gracious journeys that I have travelled. It is the best part for me because it makes me have a stable balance not one wobbling on one foot in front of the other unbalanced, wondering or worrying of unnecessary things. It's the best part of 2011 that I can carry forward into 2012 because I know I have allowed the things that I can change change. It's the best part because those I have come across that are this way make me want to be an even better person. They make miracles want to happen in the pupils of my eyes that spark as bright as fireworks on a dark night.

I am thankful over all in general for every little thing but more so the simple little things. The grand gestures sure but it's the little things that makes my heart skip a floating daisy beat. 

- Hello 2012 and goodbye 2011, it was a great run but 2012 is to be even better!

Talk Booster - Dec. 5th



Decisions, life is full of them. They are always standing there right in front of you waiting for your reply. Sometimes, they can be pretty simple, other times they can be pretty hard or other times the choices you chose to make can be irrational and suffer consequences that the eyes don't meet at the time. 

Some times in life you start to notice things beginning to happen so fast and becoming completed all of a sudden. It kind of startles you and makes you wonder why everything is happening at this speed and where's all the time that 'I' still need to process some things going to? Then you, one day are sitting there pondering  over the past 6 months that went by and you never really noticed that much of a significant change. Well so you think or tell yourself, but most likely you are looking for something BIG, GRAND that STANDS OUT and makes your heart ring a fast beat. Instead it's the subtle, simple, yet sweet things then get under minded and undeniably motioned out of focus because it doesn't seem that important. When you think about it all, it's those little things that kick the grand gestures to the curb. They have something hidden, yet beautiful strung together for you that you have to be willing to find. 

What we are all looking for at times may be hard to find or at other times it's meeting us dead within our eyes. It's the case of us being willing to take a risk to figure it all out or to lead us on a path that may be wrong with a bend-y curvy road. However Some of us are just sitting and waiting for a sign, like a hopeless star struck shooting star flashing across the sky whenever it feels like at any given time. I think for the most part it's on us, it's on us to not just sit around and wait for certain things to come or to wonder. The one risk we are faced with and having a hard time deciding on could be the one that makes or breaks you. It could be a pivadolent moment to define everything that you've ever dreamed of happening in your life time. It could be the undoubted success that no one else can see, it could be your ultimate passion that runs through your veins that lets you live out your very beautiful, up all night, do everything you can but you still think you can do more to make it even better than what appears as star studded front row ultimate red carpet glow. 

It's the letting yourself grow, find out who you are, what you are capable of, what you able to leave behind and what you are willing to confront and move on to present-future time that helps give life a positive spin. It can change everything, it is your ultimate control, it is in your hands whether or not you want to live in the past or worry about the future and leave behind the present that's happening right here in time. 

I get that we can find ourselves questioning.. why? how is it suppose to fall together? when is it going to come about? It can simply feel like everything is happening all too soon too quick. There can be so many decisions and things that cross our minds.. it can be as simple as school, work, family, friends, self etc. The decisions can tear us apart inside or they can release a fire spark waiting to explode up high, high, high like fireworks in the dark sky night. 

It's those times when you need a little white winter wonderland free range full of snow and a little record machine car playing a sentimental road song that just flows. [insert your song] mine at this moment would be Michelle Branch's new single "Loud MUSIC" It makes me get lost deep into thinking, analyzing, yet also provokes the souls deep pondering that rest on the mind but is waiting to be fully released. 

My life's pondering at this moment are what give me hope but at the same time keep me guessing along with allow me to seek the undeniable truth and beauty that is with held in every thought circulating my minds hemisphere. It gives the ability to open space for something new, beautiful, crazy, wild, fun and unpredictable to store screaming adventure unlike any heard of previous experiences had before. 

Life is about finding your happiness, your passion, your love and creating your own family. It's about giving everything you have inside of you like a record machine filled with songs. It's about giving, showing respect; it's about loyalty, honesty and above all it's about giving the truth down to the bare even if you think they can't handle it. The truth may hurt at the time but ultimately down the long run it will win over hearts. You may not see it in another soul, eyes or even get to witness but time will reveal it it's self to you in some way. 

- The truth wins, every time and gets you every time just like decisions that string along down a clothes line. It doesn't jade you, it simply speaks the truth and it will speak it in silence but if you can't ultimately hear, it will speak it loud and clear like rolling stones playing on vinyl crystal clear during a fireworks show.

prix dish

Step 1
- brown meat & drain
Step 2
- boil noodles until soft & drain
Step 3

-> thin layer of tomato sauce on bottom
-> half of the noodles + meat

Slanted Stripe Colored Nails

Good Late Evening Lovelies,

So I am back with another post and yes it's another nail design post. I had done this back either in September or October one of the two but I choose the slanted strip design because I was bored. I was bored with doing the cheetah/leopard look but changing the colors and so I decided upon this look because it was different and something I had never done to my nails yet. People at work liked it and I liked it too. I did only do that design the one time but I'll possibly try it again in the near future with different background colors. I just thought I would do this post and to show something different than what I have shown you guys with past nail designs and colors. I hope this design is something you are wanting to try and hopefully it's fun along with different!

Magnetic Polish by nails inc. LONDON


Hello Hello!!

I have a fun post about another new nail polish I got today! Yes, I finally managed to get out and purchase it since I had to stop to get something at sephora anyway. I got nails inc. LONDON new magnetic polish in house of parliament which is a dark purple but so nicee! The polish went on so easily, smooth and dries fast unlike other polishes that I have from other brands. This is my first ever nails inc. London polish purchase ever and I would purchase normal colors if I could find them somewhere.

- First step is to put on a base coat, which helps the polish to go on smoothly I guess also!
- Second paint one coat of the nails inc. london polish on all the nails.
- Third is to paint another coat, however one nail at a time because you can't let the polish dry right away, you must put the magnetic top right after you paint the second coat.
- Lastly the design will come on it's own with the help of the magnetic!
- A top coat after that so it looks nice and shiny! :D I used OPI top coat for those wondering!

I took pictures of my nails before the design happens to show what the nail color looks like and after to show the what the design appears like.


First Coat

After Magnetic

After Top Coat

I hope you enjoyed this post because I definitely like this polish and I hope they come out with more colors beside the purple and grey. I like how the polish dries so fast unlike opi which I find takes forever to dry for me. Check out your local Sephora if you want this polish or online at sephora if you don't have a local store in your area. I will definitely being using this polish a lot as until the end of this year and of course in the new year as well!

Bright Neon Pink Lep Nails!

Hello Lovelies!

I wanted to post this nail polish design I had done a while back but never got around to posting it, so I thought I would do that now! I know this was probably done way back in the summer time but I really love the colors and the look. I think this is a fun design to try on your nails for sure. The nail polish colors I used for this look were..

1. OPI Elephantastic Pink
2. OPI Do You Lilac It
3. L.A. Colors Art Deco in Black
4. OPI Top Coat

I know that it is winter now but you can still make it fun by using more netural colors for winter if you don't want that bright pop of color via my other nail color look thats similar but not bright as polish colors. Hope you enjoyed!

i'll be there for you, i will care for you


Hello Lovelies!

December 1st already today and Christmas will be here before you know it! Today I got these two items 1. the burgundy strip raglan and 2. the sweats and I got the red strip raglan yesterday because the burgundy one wasn't in my size yet. I really loved those two shirts, they're long sleeve but have a loose fit to it but I think they would look great with a sweater or blazer. As for the sweats I loved the color of grey and the yellow with white mixed print for the words. I definitely like these purchases I got today/yesterday for sure and I cannot wait to wear all 3 soon! I got those two shirts from PINK by Victoria secret for those of you who are wondering and the pants as well which is self explanatory I think. I wanted to do this post today and since it's the first of the month what a great way to start off! I am hoping to do a lot more posts this month than any other months or from last year since my posts are scares and bare minimal effort looking back at past month post numbers. I will see how that goes but I hope to be a lot more consistent this month for sure, so definitely look back here often, please! :D

night,
