So, throughout my teenage years I was plagued with severe cystic acne that has left me with a lot of facial scarring (as in lots of pockmarks and hyperpigmentation). Now in my adult life, while I have fewer breakouts (really, will they ever stop?!), I still have very oily skin and discoloration. Add that to the facial scarring and it makes fiding a foundation that makes everything look even a very daunting task… That is until L’Oreal came out with their Infallible makeup line.

DIY: Hydrangea Centerpiece and Table Accents
This summer, I have been re-doing the decoration in our little apartment to remind me of nature and my native Island of Puerto Rico. Inspiration comes just by logging into Pinterest and observing all the beautiful decorating ideas people come up with. However, I gravitate towards the simple decor that can be used either year-round or has multiple purposes (i.e. I can easily change it out or modify it according to the season or my mood).
Travel: Eastern Market at Detroit, Michigan

Consigning 101: Selling
Thrifting and consignment shopping makes up a large part of my wardrobe. It’s no secret I love to shop. And it’s no secret that I love fashion trends. But I love to get a great deal even more. And I live for finding that one fabulous piece that is perfectly on trend and only a few bucks. Plus, can you think of a better way to help the environment then giving those once loved clothes a second home?

Halloween DIY: Sandy from Grease
I know it’s a little early to be talking about Halloween, but if you’re anything like me, then Halloween is a big deal even if it’s months away. I mean, you need to be prepared, right?
