don't forget to breathe + fotd
This has been the toughest summer to date with me working like a maniac, family issues, personal issues..pretty much any issue a person can be faced with, I've dealt with and many times, it has felt like I was climbing a steep heel in the highest heels ever endlessly. This blog became more of an obligation and less like a source of inspiration and fun. For a moment, I didn't even want to wear makeup anymore. I know...CRAAAAAZY TALK!
I'm trying to shift my outlook. Shift my focus. Relax. Breathe. Not saying I'm back 100% but...eh...

Eyes
MAC Era on the lid (or any nude eyeshadow color)
Black eyeshadow on the outer corner and into the crease. (You can use a liner if its easier but just put black shadow on top)

Skin
MAC Liquid Concealer under the eyes.
Cheeks
Covergirl Cheekers Blush in Soft Sable

L'Oreal Color Juice in Grape Soda

We went to the Biergarten on Fulton St and I had German MezzoMix which is a fruity cola...Fanta and Cola mix. It was delish and light.
BFF had sparkling apple juice. Not half bad. We also had chicken sausages which umm..didn't make it to the camera. 
This is David. David is cool as hell. He owns the Brooklyn Cigar Lounge on Lafayette, across the street from Habana Outpost. Cool music, great vibes, beautiful people and lots of cigars (if you're into that sort of thing)
Ended up at EN on Cumberland and Lafayette. It is so beautiful inside. The bartender Mike who is Austrian-Egyptian flirted and served me a Fidel Castro which is a Meyers rum, ginger ale and lime. My new drink. If you're hungry on The Nigerian is hosting a dinner there. $30 pre-fixe menu. Email me if you're interested in going.
But...most of the time it's the matter of asking:
