Inspiration-Quote of the Day-Blog

Never Settle for Less..

“Never settle for less.”

These are the words I keep having to remind myself of. I must admit, at the age of 23, I feel like I’m at a standstill. I’m working at an okay job, that pays me an okay salary, trying to take little trips here and there that I can afford. I can’t say my life is completely bland. I have an extraordinary family, friends old and new, and an absolutely amazing boyfriend. I don’t want to sit here and complain that I have such a dull, meaningless life, because I don’t. But is it outrageous to want more? To want to feel like I’m worth more and capable of doing something that I, myself, see as extraordinary?

I’m afraid. That’s it. That must be the answer to why I feel like I’m limited to do the unthinkable. Or uncertainty. I’m uncertain of my calling, what I’m meant to do. Does anyone know the answer to this grueling question they ask themselves? Some people seem so sure and that frightens me because all this time I thought I was ahead of the game. I’m 23! I need to be doing the most I can be doing and more right now, while I still have all the energy and time to fail, while I am in my prime.

If you’ve been feeling this way recently or in the past, I will tell you this. I understand. After asking people to tell me what they think I should do and never being satisfied with the answer, it’s time to take charge. Stop being apprehensive. Stop waiting around for a spider to come crawling and take a bite out of you so only then can you become a super hero. Opportunities don’t always just come around when you least expect it, so you should create your own opportunities. And if one does happen to appear out of nowhere, identify it and take it.

Easier said then done, right? Well then, I guess all we can do is try. Try to not settle for mediocrity or routine. Try not to be afraid to take a leap of faith. Try not to be afraid to use your resources or find new ones. It seems so much more satisfying knowing you gave it your all even if you fail in the end rather than not even giving it a shot.

Favorite Beauty Products, Brianne Heredia

Favorite Beauty Products

I am an amateur when it comes to applying beauty products and knowing exactly what works with my skin and color. However, I LOVE talking beauty products with friends, I watch tons of YouTube videos to get the application right and see what others have to say about products that did and didn’t work for them (my channel is still in the works). While I’m still constantly learning about new products, techniques, and myself, I have managed to scramble up some of my favorites. These are the products that make me look twice in the mirror at myself because they’re the best I’ve tried to far.

Beauty profile recap: I’m half Japanese, half Mexican. I have normal to dry skin. Dry skin being directed at my forehead area and chin. I did start to remove the darker hair on my face for better makeup application and so that skincare products can better adhere and soak in my skin. I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes that cannot necessarily be remedied by products, only covered up.

Beauty Fave #1: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle 

I bought this maybe 2 years ago and I still have it! This product  lasts such a long time, I kid you not. I wear this product on a daily basis because it’s not super strong, at least when applied with a brush. It gives me just the right amount of lit from within glow. It doesn’t look chalky or white on my darker skin since it’s a champagne color. If you want to build the intensity, you can apply it directly to your face with your fingers or fix plus on a brush. I have never tried strobing, but I imagine it could work with that too.

Beauty Fave #2: Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder

Yes, everyone and their mother mentions this product. Why? Because it’s freaking amazing, that’s why. One of the few gems that doesn’t look white on camera even though it has talc in it. It never looks cakey, even when I try to “bake” with it nor does it feel heavy on the face. It’s so finely milled that it gives you an airbrushed effect on the skin. Their website claims that it contains “unique light-reflecting ingredient that creates a ‘soft-focus’ appearance for fine lines and imperfections”. Honestly, I feel like it does just that. I don’t think I have a major fine line  problem on my face, but I do have a crease right under one of my eyes, and it doesn’t make it look so apparent, which I love!

Beauty Fave #3: Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

Maybelline always has long ass names for their products. Luckily, that’s the only thing I’m not fond of about this product. Other than that, this product is one of my favorite mascaras I’ve tried. I’ve never been into high end mascaras and I’ve tried a ton of other drugstore mascaras, but this is one that I loved since the day I bought it. The bristles on the brush are rubber and thin. This means it grasps my lashes well and prevents major clumps from happening. Other mascaras I’ve tried end up smudging or transferring under my eyes after a long day, which is a pain. I don’t use this in the waterproof formula, yet it stays put all day. It evenly coats my lashes and makes them dark, long, and volumized.

Beauty Fave #4: MAC Strobe Cream

My best friends, Nicole and Jennifer, introduced this product to me. The Strobe Cream from MAC is morning dew in a bottle. I love how this looks underneath my foundation. My skin tends to look dull throughout the day, but adding this little gem into my routine amps up my game. It’s supposed to be a moisturizer that has tiny iridescent particles that gives you a lit from within glow. I used to be all about a matte face but realized that it just doesn’t work for my dull skin. Adding a little dew to my face makes me look more fresh faced and awake!

Beauty Fave #4: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre

Nicole introduced this one to me too! She loves MAC, obviously, but all of her suggestions haven’t been wrong. It’s probably the reason why MAC has been around for so long! This stuff beats the eye shadow primers I’ve tried. Everyone raves about the Urban Decay eye shadow primers, but I didn’t like them. This stuff is under the eye shadow category in MAC which is why I never thought of trying it. The formula is smooth, not cakey, however, it does have great coverage on my lids. It cancels out any discoloration on my lids so that my eyes shadow pops. This product with your eye shadow on top mixed with MAC Fix Plus definitely intensifies any colored eye shadow. I never used to wear eye shadow all that much, but since I got the paint pot in Soft Ochre, I haven’t been a day without some on!

Beauty Fave #5: Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Face Mask 

Drink Up™ Intensive

Jennifer got me this for my birthday and I’ve been obsessed ever since. She always hears me complain about my damn dry forehead that itches like crazy during the day but especially at night. This product is supposed to be an overnight mask that you are only required to wear 3 times a week. I slather this on my face, with most attention to my forehead, every night before I go to sleep. It seriously helps prevent me from going Kujo on my  face. I’ve seen a very positive reaction in my skin using this product mixed with drinking more water every day. The ingredients are amazing too what with Japanese seaweed, apricot kernels, and avocado oil.

Makeup is a form of art to some, but for me  it’s really just a way to feel like my best self. Women and men should never feel they have to set beauty standards for themselves based on what other people say, but we also shouldn’t shame them for doing what makes them feel happy and comfortable. My makeup regime makes me feel complete and ready for my day. I feel confident and glad I can experiment with different looks if I want to.

These are my top picks right now and I love them for their unique qualities. My skin is high maintenance, but these products work for me. Thank you friends for sharing similar interests and recommending a majority of these products.

Quality v. Quantity

In a world where we’ve come to expect cheap, fast, and trendy, does anyone still care about the quality of clothes anymore? As I get older, I’m starting to appreciate well made clothing that really do last me a longer time than most fast fashion companies like to offer. However, what you sacrifice when buying better quality items is of course, your bank account.

I went to college for a minute, started working right away, but I am no where near having the career that pays a ton of money to support my shoe obsession or love of dresses. So, like most other people in the world, I’ve had to succumb to places like Forever21, H&M, Zara, TopShop, etc. I can definitely get more bang for my buck at any one of these retailers while still being able to look like I have a clue of what’s on trend. While this is all well and good, these clothes, shoes, jewelry (all of my jewelry was gold, now it’s brass rose gold) don’t last as long. They’ll shrink right away, snag on something, the thread will loosen or fall apart. The quality control in companies aren’t as great. Why? Because majority of all of it is made in a 3rd world country where they pay little nothing to make and there is not enough time nor the means to support a great QR team. Before I start digging too deep into that other conversation, I should say that I have had and do have clothes that have miraculously lasted me years from these places, but in totality, nothing lasts more than 6 months, especially if I love it til I kill it.

I haven’t had much experience with designer clothes like I wish I’ve had, but I know better quality when it comes to shoes. Now there are so many companies online that sell fast fashion, cheap shoes. I love shopping for them because as I said earlier, it’s trendy and cheap! Who wouldn’t want that? Problem is..my feet usually loathe me 30 minutes into wearing the damn things. Nothing a foot cushion can’t fix, but in terms of the construction of the shoe and quality of the pleather or faux suede, it sucks. Paying the extra money for a better quality shoe makes a world of a difference. I’m 99.9% sure it works the same for clothing.

So, what does it come down to? Quality or quantity? I say whatever you feel comfortable in and can afford. You can find amazing pieces in a fast fashion store that you can’t find in a high end store and vice versa. Sometimes you see it and you gotta have it regardless of the price. But I say, shop with CAUTION! As much as I love to shop and browse everything online and take my sweet, sweet time in stores, I have to be careful not to overspend on one expensive item or even on a bunch of cheaper things. I don’t want to have to go to a shopaholics anonymous meeting anytime soon and neither should you!

 

Happy shopping !

Take the Initiative: Perseverance

This may sound a bit redundant or like a self confidence book, but this is the opinion of someone who makes perseverance a natural occurrence. I’ve never had anything majorly tragic happen to me, no serious sickness or disease, I’ve never encountered a near death experience, and I haven’t lost a close family member that I knew very well (except our dog, Kobe, I miss him). I have definitely had experiences that completely changed me as a person though. I’ve been through situations through work, friendships, school, and family issues that have molded me into what I am today. I’m not perfect, but I’m more apt to say that I can make it through difficult situations and anyone can grasp that mindset. I think if we do, the world can get through a lot more than we think we can.

We cannot judge others or assume any one other person’s situation is more difficult that ours, we’ll only end up resenting each other. We cannot assume we know how someone is feeling about their situations. I remember back in high school when my then boyfriend’s father passed away. I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t tell him it would be okay because I had no way of knowing it would be. I didn’t want to sit there and tell this person who I loved and was so closed to that things were going to get easier because let’s face it, sometimes it doesn’t. We should remember that life never gets easier and it sucks. It gets harder and we’re constantly battling different obstacles: mental health, body health, work issues, family matters, friends, birth, divorce, abuse, war, world hunger, violence, the list goes on. So what can we do? What can we say to others to console them?

Perseverance. We’ve all done it at some point whether we like to think so or not. We’ve all been through problems we thought were too big to conquer. Some problems may take a longer time to defeat, but it’ll happen. And when you get lost or trapped in thinking nothing will change or that things will just keep getting worse, remember you’ve done it once, you can do it again. Prove to yourself that you’re a person that can be strong  for yourself and others. Most of the time when we give up it’s because we’re lazy. We know that certain things take work and time and we want to wait around for a sign from God or whatever higher belief you have drop all the answers on your lap in a box tied with a bow and that will never do. Never feel sorry for yourself and say you can’t because you always can, you have, and you will.

Take the initiative to control your life and make the positive change you want to see.

Home for the Holidays

Last week, Alex and I travelled back home to see our families for the Christmas holidays. It was a great 5 day trip, I ate a ton, laughed a lot, felt lots of love, and got to spend quality time with my close family and friends. Five days just wasn’t enough for the both of us, but we needed to get back to reality.

So far it has been just about six months since Alex and I made the big move. We’ve gotten used to the city, our apartment, and our lifestyle together. So much so that when we went home for the holidays, it didn’t feel much like our home anymore. Both of our old rooms were bare and none of our toiletries were in our bathrooms anymore. It makes me somewhat emotional, as if a piece of me isn’t home anymore. I only hope that my dogs remember me every time I make a trip back.

Coming back to SF after our 5 day trip back to LA, Alex and I both felt this sense of relief, like we are where we’re supposed to be. Our stuff is here, our food, our bed, our new home. I think we agreed that this place is finally starting to feel normal and good. The only thing missing, that we always miss, is our family and friends.

It really is difficult to change your habits, like moving to a new city. What you’re used to always feels like home, so when you have to suddenly deviate from that, it feels like something isn’t right. Maybe that’s why we don’t like change. We’re afraid of not feeling like ourselves anymore or feeling like we’re not in control. I have to remember all the times I’ve changed my routine, whether it be starting a completely new job or starting college, I survived and managed to get myself through it. All those new experiences made me a better person, allowed me to meet awesome people, and gain great knowledge that I didn’t have before.

We will always dread trying something new, but we always have to remember that we’ve been through it before so we need not to be afraid. I don’t need things to prove where my home is. I  always believe that saying,”home is where the heart is.” My home is with Alex, here in San Francisco, but it’s also back in SoCal with my family and friends, it’s in Seattle with my sister and brother in law, it’s in Nevada with my aunty and uncle. The ones I love have my heart and wherever they are, is my home.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

GRWM: Shay Mitchell Inspired

I’ve been taking an AMAZING dance class here is SF. It’s called Hip Hop Heels and taught by my amazing instructor, Marqui. I think of it as my Beyonce 101 class. Every season all of the different dance classes put on workshops and have a performance. Our performance is Dec. 5 & 6 so we decided to take group photos to promote it. We got to bring out our “inner sexy” if you will.

If you know me, you know I love to dance and have been doing it since I was little. This class is different than what I’m used to, but instills a confidence in me that I’ve never known before. Plus, I’ve met incredible women in the class.

I did a Get Ready with Me video to show you the look I did for the promotional pictures. Check it out below and let me know what you think!

It’s OK to Eat Alone

Since moving to San Francisco, I’ve found that there are more times than I had anticipated that I’d need to firmly assert my independence. This is due to the fact that I don’t know many people and Alex is always studying or has some dental fraternity thing going on. There are definitely those times when I need to occupy my time without the aid of another companion. For me, that’s hard to do as I like being around people, especially those that I love and genuinely enjoy spending time with. In the beginning, I wouldn’t even leave the house. Yes, I became that hermit that was afraid to venture out on my own being in a new city and not knowing people(I assume that’s a normal occurrence in this situation). However, as time goes on, I remember that I don’t have a list of people I can call anymore, I don’t know what events usually happen around this time of year, and I don’t know where a lot of things are (I’m solely reliant on Google Maps). But why I am going to use that as an excuse?

Up until now, I thought I was asserting my independence by seeking out things I’ve wanted to do and doing them, hanging out with more than one crowd, being able to make my own dinner. But alas, moving up to San Francisco has taught me that I am more reliant on others than I thought I was. Now, what do I do?

I don’t want to always go through life thinking I need others to have a good time. I don’t want to feel like I need my parents to help me make important life decisions…after all, it is my life!

When I catch myself in these moments, I literally have to shake myself out of it. I drag myself into some clothes and out of the house so that I can be on my own: figure out directions and places I want to go on my own, eat at a place 27 bus stops away from me so that I can grab some Soondooboo by my lonesome because I had a craving for it and no one else was able to join me. It’s okay to eat alone. It’s okay to enjoy what you want  without the worry of pleasing a companion you’re with. I’m not saying you should be a hermit and not try to be friends with everyone, but you should be able to live a fulfilled life on your own. As I’ve always said and always will say,”you cannot love another until you love yourself first”. At the end of day, when people move on, relationships change, people pass, all you have left is yourself. Don’t make it someone else’s responsibility to ensure you’re happiness. Besides, usually when you’re on you’re own doing something you love, you tend to meet others doing the same thing and a new relationship is born.

Cheers to those who brave eating alone and are so damn happy about it!

Cozy Up This Winter

Moving to San Francisco doesn’t mean we’ll be introduced to blizzards or that our thermostat will read below 45 degrees. However, we still endure a much colder fall and winter than Southern California can imagine..at least that’s what I’m hoping. In the midst of the leaves starting to change color and make its way to the ground, I’ve been starting to look for some cute coats and jackets. Granted, I already was provided a beautifully, classic London fog trench coat from my grandmother, I still like to look for other pieces that could compliment my wardrobe.

I’ve picked out a few that I’ve had my eye on. Each is unique in its own way and definitely provide alternate outlooks on ones style.

70’s SUEDE

I couldn’t possibly mention outwear without paying homage to one of my favorites, suede. In this case, it’s faux suede which is even better if you can find one that resembles the real thing. I absolutely love the rich tan color of this jacket. It gives you the vibe that a leather jacket would give, but in a softer, less harsh way. This particular jacket can be paired with a slimming pair of bell bottom denim in a dark wash, or even a faux leather mini skirt to edge it up a bit more. The safe route would be to pair something like this with black or cream colors, but let your imagination run wild and play with textures, patterns, and color. How yummy would this be with a deep burgundy shoe or a powder blue chambray top??

LEOPARD LOVIN’

If you ask my sister, she’ll always tell you that leopard print can definitely be considered a staple in one’s closet. As I had disagreed with her before, I’m starting to take back my initial thoughts. When it comes to accessories, the standard leopard print is okay to me. This depends on what it is though (I’ve been eyeing a pair of leopard print pointed toe d’Orsay shoes). When it comes to clothing, I’ve always felt that if it isn’t so bold and outrageous, it can be done tastefully without looking like you’re Snooki circa ’09. Reason why I love this coat? It’s not a traditional leopard, rather a snow leopard if you will. The muted grey tones would pair wonderfully with some rolled up, damaged boyfriend jeans for a casual day time look, or your best pair of high waist, black coated denim for a night time edge. And the possibilities are endless, look at this girl wearing it as a dress!Image 1 of ALPACA COAT from Zara

FEELING FURRY

I never wear real fur. Mostly because who can afford it? And because I love animals and there’s just so many darn alternatives that give you the same idea without harming little creatures. Faux fur feels like your wearing your favorite childhood teddy bear and letting it walk around with you giving you warm hugs as you go. Who doesn’t want that? We hear so many things about wool and mohair and how it keeps you so warm, but unless you can afford the good stuff, you’re stuck with itchy, scratchy jackets that leave you warm and with red patches on your body. No thanks. This particular jacket is warm and fuzzy, but still edgy given the contrast pleather cuffs. It reminds me of what I think Ted (that movie with the teddy bear and Mark Wahlberg) might be if he were a coat. Dress it up with a cute mini dress and tights or dress it down with some ripped denim, this pick will definitely keep you warm.

PLAID IS NOT JUST FOR SCHOOL GIRLS

I love plaid. I wish I had more of it in my closet. I just have a few plaid flannels hanging in there waiting for another close friend..a coat. We’ve seen this pattern time and time again which makes me think it will never die. And if it does for a moment, it will righteously make its comeback. It works because it’s not an in your face type of pattern. It’s never really done in obnoxious colors (Clueless was a make believe movie!) and just screams fall. The fact that it’s done in black and white and in a classic double breasted coat makes this one a good staple. I’d even like it if it were red or a forest green too.

CAPES..NOT JUST FOR SUPERHEROES

I’ve always liked the idea of a cape. There’s something so chic about it that you don’t even mind that it doesn’t necessarily have to keep you warm, it just looks good. I don’t own one yet as I’ve been nervous if I could rotate in my daily routine. As much as I love to dress up all the time, sometimes it doesn’t make sense to because I walk around everywhere (and get sweaty when it’s hot) or I’m doing work where I wouldn’t want to mess up my outfit. However, when I came across this beauty from Nasty Gal, I decided maybe it’s time to just dive right in. They’ve done paisley print right where it almost has this awesome baroque feel in warm colors that scream luxury. Pairing this a sheath dress and some OTK suede boots would do this number wonders! This is my only choice for an unconventional piece of outerwear for the winter as it most likely won’t keep me that warm..but like I said..it’s so fabulous so I don’t care.

All of my choices above are linked to take you directly to where you can buy them. They’re all under $200 with most of them being in the $100 range. Yes, it may seem pricey for some, but I wouldn’t expect to pay less for a better quality coat or jacket.

Let me know what you think and if you’re excited about the colder weather, I know I am!

In the End..What Am I Holding Onto?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I may be scared to let go of things that have happened in the past. I don’t mean holding grudges or having feelings for old boyfriends. I mean certain aspects that keep a tight hold on my childhood like the people I used to call friends that have seemed to fade away with all this time that’s passing or music that I used to love in high school and middle school that almost seem silly to like anymore.

I need to face the facts. Things change, times passes, I change and move on. The more I dig into my thoughts and the meaning behind them, I realize maybe it’s deeper than that. What am I really holding on to?

I listen to music while taking a shower everyday and it’s my moment to think and sing as loud as I want. I’ve been listening to one of my favorite stations, the All American Rejects, on Pandora. The artists featured are AAR, Boys Like Girls, We the Kings, All Time Low, etc. Some of that punky, pop, alternative type music I used to listen to…okay I was obsessed with. I’ve thought to myself, I miss this. Granted I don’t’ listen to their current music, if there is any, I just remember and love the old stuff. The Boys Like Girls songs that remind me of that time I got up on stage with my best friend Nicole at the Club Nokia venue, or the All Time Low songs that remind me of the time I met them at the House of Blues for a show instead of going to our freshman year homecoming with some of my best friends at the time. One of the big ones I always remember was being OBSESSED with the Jonas Brothers (with full swing purity rings) with 3 of my best friends in freshman year of high school. What makes all of these moments (there were plenty more) so special is that I had no inhibitions, no worries, I wasn’t afraid of judgement or looking silly. All I knew was that I was with people I cared about, doing things we loved and had the most fun doing.

And now..I see it in a lot of people and I see it in myself. We’re restrained, stressed out, serious, and worrisome. Of course, we are happy and excited about certain things and what the future may hold, but in going through the motions of life, it seems as if we lost the light in our eyes and the excitement in our hearts that we carried with us when we were younger and life was easier. We care more about what other people will think, if we’re living our lives up to the standard of someone else, worried about going back to our high school reunions proud of what we’ve accomplished. We don’t make friends with everyone anymore, we just get major road rage and think everyone else is an idiot when things don’t go our way. We complain about the future of our country, but hesitate to realize that each of us is an important role that affects our outcome. We get drunk and argue about what football team is better (if you read my last post, you’ll understand my POV on this one). We look at the new youth and think they’re stupid and naive instead of helping them to do better and become great.

I don’t go to church anymore, like I used to. However, one of the few times I’ve gone as a young adult with my mom and grandma, I remember something the pastor said in his teachings (this one caught my attention, usually I’m trying to fight falling asleep). I don’t remember the exact words, but he said something along the lines of going through life with a childlike attitude. To be curious, compassionate, playful, like the qualities of a child discovering the world and all of its possibilities. He also said to not get childlike confused with childish. As adults, we still need to be mindful, considerate, responsible, and honest in the lives we lead. I couldn’t agree more with what he was saying.

Ultimately I think what I’m holding onto when I reminisce through music and the friendships I used to have, with the way things used to be is my childlike qualities that may have faded over time. I don’t want to get sucked into becoming an adult and thinking that everything spirals down from there as time goes on. I want to remember that it’s okay to sing and dance to my favorite songs, I don’t have to get mad and stressed over every little bad situation, I want to remember that I can have a great time without alcohol or drugs, I can accomplish what I set my mind to. With change, you can create a new happy, a new bliss, a new adventure and try new things you’ve never even dreamed you could do. And the moments when times get tough, as they always do, you just have to roll with the punches like you did when things got tough when you were younger.

Even if the All American Rejects or the Jonas Brothers aren’t playing the same music they used to, or they broke up, or whatever, there’s new music that I do love that I’d want to see live. I can still dance, sing the lyrics at the top of my lungs and have a great time with new friends and my new love. Remember the past’s great moments, but never forget that more are coming your way.

Easy Weekend Emsemble

When it comes to those two special days we call the “weekend”, there’s always 3 outfits you’re sure to be wearing.

  1. Pajamas. It would be an inconceivable lie for anyone to say they don’t lounge around for less than 5 hours over the weekend in their pajamas. I’m even doing it as we speak (it’s my weekend)
  2. Saturday night party outfit. That blissful evening where you know you can go out and not have anywhere to be the next day, which also means that if you happen to drink too much (21 and over), it’s not the end of the world if you wake up hungover looking like you’ve contracted the plague.
  3. Easy, breezy weekend ensemble. You know, for those moments where you actually have to show your face with friends or family and look somewhat presentable without trying too hard.

An easy weekend ensemble can be achieved with a few simple pieces. A dress, denim jacket, hat or scarf, and some booties. If dresses aren’t your thing, pants can be substituted. The reason why this works?

It flatters everyone. No matter who wears this combination, or what body type they may have, what age they are, it still looks put together. Depending on the colors your wear, you can take on many different personas or styles.

If you’re more rocker, you can add some flair to the outfit by donning a denim jacket with studs or distressing.

If you find yourself to be a bit more girly and feminine, try wearing a dress with a beautiful floral print and heeled booties.

The options are endless and it becomes all to easy to build on or take off in the event of hot/cold weather, or needing to go out for a special occasion and trading the booties for a pair of killer heels.

I don’t associate with a particular trend or style either, but this is my version of an easy weekend ensemble that I wore during the day on a beautiful Saturday with my hubby.
