Make Your Perfume Last FOREVER

“The perfume is what they remember”

Sis you ever just want to drown in your own perfume? but not too much because you don’t want to over do it. That’s me! I’d date myself just by how good my perfume smells, true story. I love when I leave a room and you can still smell my perfume lingering in the air or when you hug someone and they just can’t get enough of you BOYYY. My favorite of all time is to smell my clothes after I wore them and it takes me back to that exact day of when I was smelling like nothing but goodness!

Some of my faves scents above.. The first 2 are CHLOE CHLOE- Nomade (Day/Night) . The third one is ACAI BAIE from urban outfitters more of a fruitier musk scent. All of these are my go to’s and suitable for any occasion.

The longer the better- Let me tell you how:

• Moisturize your skin before spraying any fragrance on to lock in the scent (Applying Vaseline before is also good)

• Store them in cool temperature places like a vanity or dresser

• Keep away from direct sunlight

• Keep away from moist places such as bathrooms etc.

• Never rub the fragrance into your skin because it destroys the scent (don’t rub your wrist together)

• Make sure your body chemistry goes well with the scent that you choose as well (super important)

Freshly out he shower after you have moisturize is one of the best times to apply your favorite scent. A little spray on the body and on your clothes never hurt nobody. That’s how you get the true effect of your perfume. Two of my fave places to spray are lightly on my hair and right behind my ears, usually has me smelling like something to eat all day!

Where on the body to apply Perfume:

• Neck

• Wrist

• Lower stomach

• Inside elbows

• Behind knees (in the summer)

  Not all the spots at once but just target the areas on your body that you want. These places on the body are naturally warm areas which makes scents last longer.

Have A Smoothie Day

Who doesn’t want to start the New year off right?

I’ve been starting my days off with fruit and haven’t regret it since. I mix different fruits using my nutribullet. Depending on my mood I usually colorize my smoothies to whatever mood I wake up in. According to the food pyramid we should have at least 2 to 4 servings of fruit and 4 to 6 servings of vegetable each day. There’s so many gains from just including fruit into your diet. 

Did You Know?

Blueberries and bananas is 2 of the top 10 fruits you should eat everyday. Blueberries are high in anti-oxidants and helps with cognitive ability. Bananas has a high amount of potassium and fiber which helps the heart.

Oranges are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Oranges and mangoes are known to provide a significant amount of vitamin C.

How I Make My Smoothies

When I’m making my smoothies I usually mix the tart fruits (berries, etc) with sweet fruits (bananas or mangoes) together to balance out the flavors. I get my color inspirations from pinterest. Since I don’t use milk and I barely use yogurt in my smoothies, the consistency is not as thick. So in order for my colors to separate and not mix into each other I have to slice thin layers of fruit and put it in between as a base.

Self care : Taking Care Of The Real You

 To fall in love with yourself is to love all your flaws without a doubt. Not just to love your outer appearance or physical features but the internal you. The soulful you, that part of you that no one else can see and the part that can’t be physically altered. 

What is it like to have a beautiful soul?

What is it like to see another person’s light?

What is it like to give off an aura unlike no other?

I wonder how many of us are truly happy within ourselves. Taking care of ourselves is the first step of acknowledging how we truly feel about ourselves. Mentally, Physically, and emotionally are what we should consider when taking actual care of ourselves. 

•Mental Self Care

Learning what we like and don’t like. What makes us truly happy and at ease throughout a period of time. Learning how to feel and accept our faults. Becoming one with our spiritual self and being easy with our thoughts.

•Physical Self Care

Health updates.

Hygiene awareness.

Appearance grooming.

Exercise.

Eating right.

skin, nails and hair treatments.

•Emotional Self Care

Praying.

Eliminating any stressful events.

Not being judgmental. 

Enjoying the moment.

Learning how to love.

Accepting love.

Being patient.

Being patient is crucial to learning how to not compare ourselves to others or their achievements. Learning how to take our time and prefect our craft, business, etc. “Rome was not built in a day” and neither were we. It took nine months for us to even develop in the womb. Comparing ourselves sets back our biological clock. When we see others climb the success ladder, we don’t know how long it took them to reach to the top. That’s why staying in our own lane and mastering patience is essential to feeding our soul. Everyone is different and has different paths in life. 

e.g; It may take me 5 years to be a assistant manager at my workplace and 2 years for you to become a manager at the same work place. But that doesn’t mean the other person is better than the other. Everyone has their own timing in life and that’s what makes life so special. 

Coming to terms with certain aspects of life allows growth within yourself. Judging other people or neglecting health is not self care. Self care is about loving yourself in many more ways than one. Understanding your passion and what gives you drive, maintaining your health and canceling anything that brings stress. Self Care is treating others with respect, loving them, and allowing them to love you. Self care is being a good person even when no one is watching.

Modelographer

Model To Photographer

Jack of all trades …maybe?

My goal is to create content that tells a story. Take a look at life from my view.

As humans we are not made to just to do one thing and settle. We have been multi- tasking for years. Someone asked me “ I thought you were model, so how can you be a photographer? “. I noticed how people can become baffled when they see you do something else other than what they’re normally use to seeing you do.

My response is always “I do both”. I never really give a reason to why I do both but here I am today telling you all about it. Having more than one job/hobby isn’t taboo (I know shocking!). So here’s my answer: I simply enjoy both.  I get pleasure from doing both my passions , which I am very dedicated to. I’m a creative visionary so it’s impossible for me not to recreate my ideas and indulge in projects other than myself. Learning photography is just as tedious as learning how to pose in front  of a camera. Believe it or not, they both take a lot of time. I honestly put my all into my work and every piece I put out is very special to me. There’s always a story behind every picture. That’s what intrigues me even more when I see a photo. It’s literally art that speaks a thousand words or more. Seeing my ideas come to life is so satisfying and I enjoy working with my muses. My favorite types of photography would have to be architectural, portrait, and fashion photography. I take my craft serious and usually prefer to work one and one to capture the perfect moments.
