To Joey

To most people, super heroes have special powers or can do something not possible by humans. To the people who knew you, you were a super hero everyday.
I don't think I'm alone when I say that you left us unexpectedly. I think most of us got use to your sickness as being normal and forgot about the strength that it took you to get through the day. That's why when you left, it was unexpected.

People say, 'it's always the good ones that go.' It makes people question faith and wonder if God exists. And it sucks. But I understand why. It is the good ones who show us what it means to live. You are the kind of person who makes others appreciate life.  When we take life for granted, you show us how we need to love every minute of it. You're strength and passion for life gives us life instead of letting it get sucked away by wasteless negativity. Because of you, we think twice about dwelling on things we cannot change and give us the courage to face life's challenges head on.

Joey, you touched everyone you met. Whether they knew you for five minutes or five years, today we all mourn the loss of a true superhero. A person who dealt with ongoing health issues day-after-day, as well as the other hardships life has to offer, only to be the one most passionate about living. You thirsted for knowledge, cared for everyone you came in contact with, and always showed us the most selfless version of yourself. I'll always remember your  hilarious Jeelu temper, gracious smile, and heartwarming hugs. 

Thank you for being so welcoming and open in letting all of us get to know you. I know I didn't know you as well as many others, but I didn't need to know you for long to experience your charismastic character. You treated everyone like family and because of that, we all lost our brother.

I speak for everyone when I say we lost a true superhero. And I speak for everyone when I say we all gained a guardian angel. I know a piece of you was left with all of us and we will forever carry you in our hearts.

Joey, thank you. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for being a symbol of strength. Thank you for battling through life like you did so that we all had the opportunity to be touched by you. Most importantly, thank you for being you. 

You are the true superman and for that, we all have someone to believe in and are forever grateful to have met you.

We love you, Joey.

Devil In A New Dress

What is "Devil In A New Dress?"  Devil In A New Dress is about looking at something not just for what it is, but what it could be. When it comes to fashion, you can look at an item of clothing and wonder 'what would I wear this with?' The question isn't about looking at the item individually, but rather how it could be thrown together with the right accessories, shoes, or jacket and instantly make an ensemble flow. It's about looking at old styles and adding some modern flare. It's about opening your mind to new possibilities that are edgy and break the rules while making the new ones up as you go along.  "Devil In A New Dress" is a song by Kanye West who is my favorite artist. In the song he raps,  "Put your hands to the constellations, The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation I know I'm preaching to the congregation We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan" This is  what Devil In A New ...

Sephora Goodies!

So after about a week of trying out all of these new goodies, I think I can now give a fair review of how everything is working out. I'm going to start with my favorite: Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation : This is single handedly THE BEST foundation I have ever had. I have been using BB creams or tinted moisturizer lately because I want a little bit of coverage but not too much. This foundation is really light like a tinted moisturizer, but has the perfect amount of coverage. The liquid is white when it comes out of the bottle and then pigments to the color of your skin as soon as you apply it. Literally, the BEST.  Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumper : Lip plumper is my new favorite thing. I have thinner lips and using this gloss gives a little added volume. Beware, there is a tingling sensation that is not for everyone. I happen to like it, but some people may feel like their lips are burning. Use with caution!  BB Thickening Spray : I first started usi...

Fall Fragrance Wish List

There are so many fragrances I want right now!!! I made a list of my top five and where you can purchase them.  I love these scents more than anything right now and could smell them all day. What would be your top five? 1. Viktor & Rolf 'Flowerbomb'- Sephora, Macy's, Nordstrom 2. Givenchy 'Dahlia Noir'- Sephora, Macy's 3. Gucci 'Guilty'- Sephora, Macy's, Ulta 4. Yves Saint Laurent 'Manifesto'- Macy's, Ulta 5. Jimmy Choo 'Jimmy Choo'- Sephora, Nordstrom, Macy's, Ulta I love all of these perfumes because they smell feminine and seductive. If perfumes could smell seductive, these ones would. All of them have a long-lasting scent, too. The biggest mistake I use to make was to buy tons of perfume from Victoria's Secret, which smells great in the store, but fades within the hour. Paying a higher dollar for one of the five above is well worth it and will last you. You get what you pay for, especially wi...
