From the moment I started blogging I’ve come across beautiful and inspirational people that I love and adore. I’ve mentioned many in my blog posts before and this month on my blog I would like to share more lovely artists and feature them. You can see many of these lovely inspirational people all around me all the time because they are the ones that leave the positive comments and share my posts and interact with me. I’m truly blessed. This emotional and heartfelt blog post is because of all of you! From all the loving and beautiful support you’ve given me. Thank you! A huge thank you to Cat and Belinda. It means so much to me and I appreciate it so much.

I wanted to thank you all for the comments you left me on the video for the Fashion Magazine Beauty Vlogger Video. Have you seen all the comments in my video? I didn’t win by the way but I WON in a HUGE and different way! MY GOD! All of you made me win inside my heart by the warmth of your comments! Seriously! It’s a true blessing to have you all by my side. I appreciate you all! Thank you so much! By the way thank you to CAT for showing me how to add IG photos in the blog posts! 🙂 woo hoo!

When I was talking to Cat I mentioned how I want to create connections this year and work together with more artists. Collaborate and Integrate!

I really enjoy working with others!

So Belinda mentioned TRIBES in her newsletter and right away I remembered teachers College and fell in love with the idea all over again. A community where people help people and learn from each other. A place where we can be our true selves and inspire each other. Reminds me a lot of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers. I’m grateful for being a part of the CBB because I’ve gotten to know a lot of strong women in the group that truly inspire me. So thank you to the CBB team for being there for me. This is starting to feel like a huge THANK YOU blog post! Why not! I’m totally GRATEFUL and High on LIFE!!  WOO HOO!

THANK YOU TO THE CBB for REPOSTING MY PICTURE! 🙂

SHARE SOME LOVE AND GO DOUBLE TAP ! 🙂

Sometimes it can be hard to be a blogger and influenster. I’m being honest here. Sometimes I need a little push to move forward. Well lately connecting with bloggers has been that wonderful push forward. I feel so strong and more confident when I work with other lovely bloggers. I love interaction and communication. Working together is so important. That being said I wanted to let you know that starting  now until further notice I’m going to pin a tweet on twitter and feature a lovely YouTuber, Vlogger, blogger or artist for each month because I feel we should help each other grow.

Sometimes I feel that people don’t do this enough. It’s so important to help each other, promote each other and grow together. Sometimes I feel that people lead a self centred life.  Life is so much more beautiful when it’s done together. It is more creative, fun and there’s a give and take of positivity and good energy. More can be accomplished and achieved together and it’s so fulfilling!

I feel very happy and grateful to have a lovely group of people around me that encourage me. You can see all of them in comments that are on my blog posts and videos. All of YOU who leave positive messages is what fuels me to write more, take more photos and explore more with my writing and blog. There are also friends behind the scenes that chat with me and really help me out.

Positive energy and positive vibes!

Thank you!

Like I mentioned in my post New Exciting Additions! Cat is a huge motivator and she seriously needs to become a motivational speaker or write a book or something because she is a GIVER! She is very special. There are GIVERS in this world and there are TAKERS and CAT is a really amazing giver! She has helped me and pushed me to take risks and move forward.   Cat, THANK YOU for helping me along. Seriously HUGE THANK YOU!

I believe in what ever you put out in the Universe it will come back to you and it will ripple and grow big. This I believe a lot. Positive vibes and thoughts create positive things in life.  I would like to say a huge thank you to Cat and Belinda and a huge thank you to all of you for being by my side. I don’t care if I sound too cheesy or emotional. I LOVE being who I am and I’m not afraid to show it. *thank you Cat for helping me.

FREEDOM! OH YA!

It’s okay not to be “perfect”

It’s okay to be crazy and let my really funny side show.

It’s okay to be who I am and love my self just the way I am.

Thank you all!

I LOVE YA!

WOO HOO!

Follow your heart and when you do, a smile will form on your face without you knowing.

Sleek MakeUP Unboxing!

blog title

Hello my lovely readers! I’m so very excited to bring you the new Sleek MakeUP Unboxing this month. Everything is glamorous and fabulous!

Starting with the beautiful and stunning Sleek MakeUP i-Lust Eyeshadow Palette 089 “The Gold Standard” The packaging is beautiful and matte. It is plastic and feels smooth and sturdy. It is black with gold trim.

There are 6 eyeshadows inside this beautiful palette and two are cream.  The third eyeshadow (Margiela) and fifth eyeshadow (Louis) are both cream. I though that Vera was a cream too but its only because the formula is so soft! I have swatched these beauties and they are all beautiful, soft and blend really well. They are pigmented and I can’t wait to share the swatches with you. Following this post I will have swatches for you so you can have a better look at the pigmentation and formula.  Here is the beautiful Sleek MakeUP i-Lust Eyeshadow Palette 089 “The Gold Standard” from the front. The names are so lovely and they look so beautiful! 


Here is the majestic and elegant Highlighting Palette called SOLSTICE. 
This highlighting palette is so stunning! The packaging is very sturdy, it is plastic and covered in GOLD. It is light weight not heavy at all. Inside there are three powder highlights and one cream. On the back of the box the description offers instructions on where to use each highlight. The names are: top left Ecliptic then is Hemisphere. Bottom left is Subsolar and next is Equinox. Ecliptic is used for highlighting under the eyebrow, Hemisphere is for the cheekbones, Subsolar is for the bridge of the nose and Equinox is for the cupids bow. This palette is truly breathtaking!   This palette will give you radiance and glow! You can use your fingertips to apply at the inner corners of the eyes, across the brow bone and along the tops of cheekbones. Use an eyeshadow brush for precision and increased intensity. Use a powder brush to apply to shoulders, down the centre of the arms and across the décolletage for added radiance.
