SensatioNail Fuse Starter Kit Review


I have never been a big fan of Gel nail polishes unless its for a special event like a wedding or a vacation. I personally LOVE painting my nails every other day I find it relaxing and I can express my mood thru whatever color I pick. I was shopping for new nail polishes and came across this Sensational Fuse Starter Kit and decided to give it a try. I really liked it the instructions are easy to follow and it was fast and easy. My manicure was flawless until I decided to take it off which was eight days later. The only negative to gel polishes are that they don't just come off unless you soak your nails in acetone or scrape the polish off which really mistreats my nails but I will definitely be using this when I want a long lasting manicure for events or traveling. There are a lot of color to choose from too! 

Good Luck! Xxx

Nunca he sido un gran fan de esmaltes de uñas de Gel a menos que sea para un evento especial como una boda o unas vacaciones. Personalmente me encanta pintarme las uñas a cada rato me resulta relajante y puedo expresar mi estado de ánimo a través de cualquier color que elijo. Estaba buscando nuevos esmaltes de uñas y topé con esta sensacional fusible Starter Kit decidi darle una oportunidad, es muy facil de hacer pues las instrucciones son claras. Mi manicura duro impecable por mas de una semana hasta que yo me lo quite. Lo único negativo es que el esmalte en gel puede ser tedioso para remover y puedes maltratarte tus uñas. Definitivamente voy a usar este kit para ocasiones especiales o cuando vaya de vaciones, también hay muchos otros colores hermosos para variar! 

Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Get Rid Of Dark Circles With This/ Desaparece Tus Ojeras Con Esto...


If you are wondering why I haven't done any fashion posts, or makeup the reason is  I look like I haven't slept in weeks! And i kinda haven't, between home repairs, and my beautiful three year old sleeping with us every night I haven't had a beauty sleep in weeks.  Dark circles along with large pores and acne scars, is one of the most annoying things we come across as women (and even men) A super easy and effective way to remove dark circles and even lighten skin all over your face and body is using potatoes! Potatoes have catecholase which are in all of those really expensive face brighteners you buy from department stores. All you need to do is use the purree of one raw potato and apply it all over your eyes. If you are applying to your eye area make sure you don’t get any in your eyes! Leave on your face for 15 minutes before washing your face as usual! You can repeat this 3 times a week if needed! If you find you need a little moisture, try adding just a few drops of honey or Vitamin E oil. Good Luck Xxx

Si usted se está preguntando por qué no he hecho ningún look de moda, o maquillaje la razón es que me miro como no he dormido en semanas! Y la verdad es que no, entre las reparaciones del hogar, y mi hermosa niña de tres años durmiendo con nosotros todas las noches no he tenido un sueño de belleza en semanas. Los círculos oscuros junto con grandes poros y cicatrices de acné, es uno de los más molestos que nos encontramos las mujeres (y hasta hombres) UN super fácil y efectiva de eliminar los círculos oscuros e incluso aliviar piel de la cara y el cuerpo es con papas. Las papas se han catecholase que están en todos los blanqueadores cara realmente que venden en tiendas por departamento. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es utilizar el purree de una papa cruda y aplicarlo en toda sobre los ojos y rostro. Si usted está aplicando a su área del ojo asegúrate de que no caiga ninguna en tus ojos. Dejar en la cara durante 15 minutos antes de lavarse la cara como de costumbre! Puede repetir este 3 veces a la semana si es necesario. Si necesita un poco de humedad, pruebe a añadir unas pocas gotas de miel o la vitamina E.

6 Quick And Easy Workout You Can Do At Home/ 6 Ejercicios Fáciles Qué Puedes Hacer En Casa!




I know I probably sound like a broken record but moving SUCKS! As exciting as having a new house, plus the excitement of renovating it and watching your plans become a reality is. Its also very stressful and it has taken over my life. I had a pretty set schedule where no matter what I always took an hour and went to the gym and worked out. I've never had a problem committing to exercising I actually find I feel, think and obviously look better. Nowadays my day start around 7am and I don't go to sleep until midnight or sometimes even later. The only guaranteed time I have to myself is when I jump in the shower. I love the exercises below because I can do them anywhere in the house and they are quick and easy but you really feel them working. I rotate and always do at-least two every night before I jump in the shower. Do you have any favorite exercise you like to do from home?  

Good Luck, Xxx








Classic kick backs:
While on your hands and knees, place one leg in the air with your knees bent 90 degrees. Thrust the leg upward with your foot parallel to the ceiling and contract your glut, then lower your leg back down. Repeat for 50 counts on the right leg, then 50 counts on the left leg. I do this every night before I sleep, it literally takes 5 minutes. 




Plie Squat:
Stand tall with feet wider than shoulders, legs straight, abs engaged and toes turned out at a 45-degree angle. Inhale and bend only your knees (don’t bend forward at the hips) until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor.












Wall PushUp:
Place your hands shoulder-width apart on a sturdy wall in front of you, feet slightly apart, abs engaged, back and legs straight. Lift your heels to balance on your toes and lean forward slightly so most of your weight is on your arms. Inhale as you bend your elbows and lean your body farther toward the wall, maintaining a long, straight line from head to toe.










Bridge:
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, feet flat and hip-width apart, knees bent, abs engaged and back straight. Exhale as you squeeze your glutes and press your hips toward the ceiling while keeping your back straight. Inhale as you slowly release your hips to the floor and complete I do about 50 of these.











Chair Squat:
Stand in front of chair, feet hip-distance apart, toes forward. Lean chest slightly forward. Bend knees, tap (don't sit!) bottom on chair, then stand up. Keep your weight in your heels and keep knees over toes.









Side Plank
Lie on your right side with your legs straight. Prop yourself up with your right forearm so your body forms a diagonal line. Rest your left hand on your hip. Brace your abs and hold for 60 seconds. If you can't make it to 60 seconds, hold for 5 to 10 seconds and rest for 5; continue for 1 minute. Be sure your hips and knees stay off the floor.

Ojeras? / Dark Circles?



With all that's been going on in the news lately I have had a really hard time falling asleep. Lack of sleep is not only bad on our mental health but also on our beauty especially our poor eyes. While we could spend many hundreds of dollars in products that promise to erase dark circles and bags from our eyes, sometimes all we need to do is step into our kitchen!  Of course it really depends on your skin, what works for you and what doesn’t, but this is a very effective way to not only reduce the appearance of dark circles, but also help tighten the skin around your eyes! I think this might be my favorite dark circle tip! try it and let me know how you like it. 

Con todo lo que ha estado pasando en mi estado con lo del marathon, últimamente no eh podido dormir para nada. La falta de descanso no solo perjudica tu salud mental, tambien afecta como te ves. Como por ejemplo las sombras negras debajo de los ojos, tambien conocida como ojeras. Hay miles de productos en el mercado que prometen borrarlas para siempre, oh simplemente puedes ir a tu cocina y preparar algo que te va ayudar mas. Todo depende de lo que funciona para ti, pero yo te puedo asegurar que no solo ayuda con tus ojeras si no tambien a que se te vea menos inflamada. Honestamente es uno de mis trucos favorito para combatir las ojeras. Tratalo y me cuentas como te funciono!

SERIOUS UNDER EYE BRIGHTENER
Ingredients/ Igredientes
1 Tablespoon Mashed Banana (Una cuchara de banana majada)
1 Tablespoon Raw Potato (Shredded) (una cuchara de papa ripiada)
Lemon Juice (el jugo de un limon amarillo)

Mix together banana and potato and add just a squeeze of lemon juice. Place mixture in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before applying under the eyes. Make sure you don’t get any in your eyes when applying. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before removing gently with a wet towel.


Mezcle el plátano y el banano y añade solo un poquito del jugo del limon amarillo. Coloque la mezcla en la nevera durante 10-30 minutos antes de aplicar debajo de los ojos. Asegúrese de que usted no deje caer la mezcla dentro de sus ojos cuando se aplica. Deje reposar durante 5 a 10 minutos antes de retirar suavemente con una toalla húmeda.

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Wash Your Dishes With This!



 Am I the only one that LOVES washing dishes? Yeah I know I'm weird but I find it kinda relaxing. What  I do hate is how dry it made my hands feel, I already have super dry skin and the constant wetting and use of harsh dish soaps where not helping.... so I decided to try Dawn Hand Renewal, and let me say it ROCKS! I really do see a difference, my hands don't looks or feel as dry, and my dishes cleanness have not been sacrificed, it leaves no residue and this was a big deal too. I also use it to wash my makeup brushes and since its so rich in moisturizer I can skip the olive oil. Try it and let me know what you think! Good Luck Xxx
