make-up & be happy -thats my name

i feel like thats the definition of me.

with all that is going on in my life right now. every single problem i have. every tear i want to cry. i know someone has it worse than me right now. 

and today (well yesterday) i was working, and a lady of my moms age walked into the store. its been months since i’ve seen her so i enthusiasticly asked her hows she doing. she replied with answers filled with sadness. i was deeply touched -the fact that i am only 21 and yet shes in her 50s in front of me spilling her guts. and that for me is like putting your heart on the line. anyway she told me she felt depressed her body hurts and so on. and i held her hands and looked her into her eyes and told her “you’re stronger than you believe and sooner than you know it, things will be fine. this is just a flat tire, youll learn, so you can teach, and protect everyone else. this is what we were put on the world for.” i reminded her of her beauty, and how things will be better just around the corner, i also made sure i told her, i might not know as much as her but i suffered through depression too. cause its gonna be chinese new year! 

she asked me for my number, and invited me to spend time with her and thanked me countless times,  but i feel like i should thank her even more. because she proved me right were all stronger than we believe. im stronger than i believe. being able to put aside the break up & all the confusion that comes along with it, my big ol secret thats super scary and confusing as well, and all the effort im putting into everything to try to make everything a bit better. just to hear her out, and make her feel alive again for however long my words has an effect on her -makes me so happy. like look ‘ma for once i didnt screw up. even though i screwed up everything before. :’) by talking to her, helping her out -it made me believe in myself more. and its something that just happens you know. i cant really explain why its such a great feeling -but it just is. 

lots of love and great feelings!

Some cup of teas are more bitter than others.

But its okay! A teaspoon of honey in the tea, with a cute pink lipstick on will make it better.

I am so sorry readers for taking so long to post up a new blog =( ! I actually had a bitter cup of tea for a few days that I had to work though. So here's to pink lipsticks!

I feel like as soon as I add on a pink shade lipstick everything in my life that seemed bitter, isn't anymore. Pink lips are so pretty, and I am talking about all shade of pink! They also create a fuller look for skinnier looks -which is a sign of fertility. Its amazing. I love pink lips! My favorite pink lipstick is Pink Pearls from Motives Cosmetics. I am forever in love with this shade! You can order it and fall in love with it too :] just like I did. [and if you become a customer the website will even give you cash back!]





Remember, even when your cup of tea is bitter, a teaspoon of honey and your cute pink lipstick can turn it all around. =] Follow your dreams and thrive.

Pink lipsticks and honey,
