EVERYTHiNG HAPPENS FOR A REASON..

God,

Do I hate this quote! But in every situation good or bad, there is definitely a reason behind it.
Found this on a friends blog and realized.. this is why everything happens for a reason..

Everything Happens For A Reason

Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away,
that they were meant to be there...
to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson
or help you figure out who you are
or who you want to become.
You never know
who these people may be
but when you lock eyes with them,
you know that very moment that
they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you
at the time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair,
but in reflection, you realize
that without overcoming those obstacles,
you would have never realized your
potential, strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love,
lost moments of true greatness
and sheer stupidity, all occur
to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,
life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere.
Safe and comfortable
but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls
that you experience,
can create who you are
and the bad experiences,
can be learned from.
In fact,
they are probably the most
poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you,
betrays you or breaks your heart,
forgive them
because they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious
to whom you open your heart to.
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because they are teaching you to love,
and open your heart and eyes to little things.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment,
and take from it, everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before,
and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love,
break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up
because you have every right to.
Tell yourself
you are a great individual
and believe in yourself,
for if you don’t believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it
with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly,
if you love someone tell them,
for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And learn a lesson in life each day you live.

CATCH ME

CATCH ME ON MY FRIEND JUDEE'S BLOGSPOT ON FASHiON..

WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.

"Whatever Makes You Happy"

I find myself saying this phrase repeatedly over my lifetime. To my friends, family, classmates, clients. It's funny because on most occasions, they think I am being sarcastic, but genuinely I whole hearted-ly want for them to be content, and happy with decisions they make.
It's funny because some people sometimes call me Selfish. I know there are times I can be selfish, but I have to. It seems as if I do not look out for myself or my best interest, No one else will.

I sacrifice a lot for the people that I love. Even if in the end it means giving up my happiness. I try to offer everyone what I have plus some. I let down my wall and love and give to my fullest potential! And for some reason it always comes back to slap me in the face.

But, You live and you learn. I figure God will somehow bless me eventually.
God works in mysterious ways.
But as the bible says...
"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom"
Proverbs 11:2

So I'm hoping as I go through these trials and tribulations of my life I will only become wiser!

BUSY AS A BEE

Busy does not even describe my life right now. Cosmetology school this semester is a lot more of theory less practical hands on work! which in turn means more studying! I believe people look down on cosmetologist, but what people don't know is we have to take chemistry and anatomy, physiology, we have to learn diseases and disorders! This semester is definitely INTENSE!
Along with that I have been trying to plan my daughters 1st birthday! It crept upon me, I didn't realize how fast MAY would be here. So I have also been doing that.

So for my fellow youtube followers, thats why it has been a while since I made a video. But I promise promise new videos coming soon! My latest video was for the makeupbyrenren contest

I didn't win, but its okay. You win some you lose some. For me its all for fun and for the love of makeup! But I forgot to mention I did win for BOWENSMA's contest! I got 2nd place. I will be sure to post the video soon of my prizes!
So this weekend or Sunday I will be attending the makeup show in LA for the day! Im going to fly in in the morning and come back at night! So hopefully I will have a pretty cool haul and update for you all when i get back!
And Lastly, I am officially an NYX cosmetics sales rep! Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing product, or if you know anyone who wants to throw a Makeup party! email me @ be.bella.artistry@gmail.com!

Until next time.
loves.

A COSMETOLOGiSTS DREAM

So I am back from one of the most amazing tradeshows I have ever been in my life. A bunch of my classmates, and teachers attended the ISSE 2009 show in Long Beach, CA. The weather was amazing, the classes were educational, the platform artist were awesome, and the shopping was unbelievable! I bought tons, and tons of makeup for dirt cheap! I purchased books, and all this great stuff! I got to see Tabitha from the show on bravo, and also other people who were on shear genius. I was able to network, adhere new techniques, refresh on old ones, and see all the new products that will be launching! I learned new lingo from Marcel Munoz, i got to see creative updos for brides by Marcel Munoz as well. At the Farouk platform, makers of Chi and Biosilk I got to see there amazing color applications, and see the different ways to use there tools! A good tip I learned this weekend is that your hands do the art, and not to rely solely on your curling irons, flat irons etc. It was a great learning experience, I really enjoyed and I am totally glad I went. Here are some photos from over the weekend so you can all get an idea of what a COSMOS dream looks like..it was definitely MAKEUP heaven for me.
Until next time..
