Shiny Happy People

-


I know there are many of us shiny happy people out there. I might be confusing some of you with what I'm referring to. What I'm talking about is oily skin. Grrr! Some of you might be lucky and have perfect skin, so this might not apply to you. However, you can perhaps give this info to a friend or family member who is a shiny happy person like the rest of us.

I had been in search of product that would help me control my oily skin without clogging my pores. I know all about those blotting sheets but, they never really appealed to me. True, I have my powder and can easily reapply to take the shine away, right? Actually, that's not such a good idea. That's something that you really shouldn't do. Reapplying powder gives you bigger pores and will usually leave you with that cakey look. It is definitely a no go. I won't deny that there were those occasions when I was so shiny that I had to reapply my powder. I hated doing it but I felt I had no choice.

I finally found something I am very happy with. Laura Mericer has a product called Matte Translucent. I recently bought it and am totally sold on the product. It works marvelously and you can reapply as needed. You don't have to worry about clogging pores or looking cakey. You can wear the product on top of your normal make up. Matte Translucent has a hint of green to help with the redness but you won't see any green on your face. You can rest assured.

El Tepeyac Cafe-Boyle Heights Some people freak out when I tell them I love going to restaurants alone. They think it's weird and can't imagine doing it. I find it to be the most relaxing experience ever. I can sit down, enjoy my meal and play with my phone if I choose to. If you've never done this I totally suggest you try it. One thing I've never done alone is go catch a movie. That is definitely on my to do list.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Sam getting her hair done by the amazing Amanda. Sami and her faces. This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline. Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut. Coraline #2 Coraline, we owe you! Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures. One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or...
