Red Lipstick and Mascara. The only two things in life a girl needs…Until Eyelash Extensions existed of course!! Ladies, I am in LOVE with my eyelash extensions, and let me tell you why.
But a couple of things you should remember when getting your extensions done.
So now I’m guessing your wondering why you should get them. I would too especially if you have to worry about going to someone who is accredited.
So...I specifically got them for traveling. One less thing to do while on vacay. Yes, mascara is such a little thing but with these extensions you’re always “Camera Ready”, and who doesn’t want that? I don’t want to have to worry about make-up when on vacay. And literally the only thing I’ll need to put on is red lipstick (and sunscreen if you’ll be in the sun). Also, the holidays are coming up, there’s no better reason to make sure you’re looking top notch then while you’re having to explain to your Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt, Cousins, Dad…. (lol) why you’re still single or haven’t gotten that promotion at work. At least they’ll know its not because you don’t look good girl. #workit If you live in Southern California and are looking to support a female local business I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND Vanessa Masters of The Lash Masters (The SoCal Blogger Babes tipped me onto her. THANK YOU!!). Her prices are honestly just right. $80 for hybrid full sets (what I have. they make you look slightly more glamorous.) $60 for classic full sets and fills for $40. Her contact info is on her Instagram that you can find HERE. Check out how FLAWLESS her work is and FALL IN LOVE please. AND she’s super nice, she’ll make you feel right at home. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want someone touching me that I don’t feel comfortable with. XOXO, @kellithinks

11/8/2018 0 Comments Do Fairytales still exist?I recently got told that I was viewing a potential relationship as a “whirlwind romantic fairytale”. My response? “I’m pretty sure fairytales don’t start with you cancelling our first date and showing up three hours late to the next one.” Take a second to ponder that one. (And yes, I had a reason for dealing with it.) But, after my response to him, I started wondering if fairytales do exist anymore. I think they do, they’re just packaged a little differently. All Fairytales have three components that specifically stand out to me. The Princess. The Prince. The Obstacle. Lets start with… The Princess - That’s You! I think Women (Princesses) these days are completely different from the “traditional fairytale”. We are no longer Damsels in Distress we are Women on a Mission. We know what we want and we go after it. We don’t take no for an answer or fall for excuses. We can run a household and a company and look good doing it. Because of all these things, we have ALOT more power. With power comes decisions to decide who we are going to date and what we are going to put up with. I personally find that there are a lot of women I speak with who live in “Big Cities” that are single and focusing on themselves and their careers well into their 30s and really aren’t too worried about when their Prince will come along. They still want “The Prince” but they are much more focused on becoming Queens who will then find a King that they can be equally matched with. The Prince - Just like the Princess has evolved, so has the Prince. No longer are we in the days where people will commit easily. And chime in if you think I’m wrong, but I think our “Princes” commit even less these days. Between all the different dating apps, there are almost TOO MANY options. What’s also interesting about Men these days is that they are also working equally as hard if not harder at their careers too. Do you think it’s because they fear a Female Rising?! Or is it just the way our world has changed? Between tech start-ups and the entrepreneurial spirit being alive and well, do they just have more pressures to find their own place in the world? Now we can’t put all men in the same box. I also feel males are just re-finding their place in a society where now they are expected (or should be) to be Feminist Men,, especially Millennial Men. And even though they don’t outwardly admit it, some of these guys still want the fairytale too, they’ve just realized the Princess has changed and therefore their game has changed too. Just remember, good men are out there we just may have to kiss a few more frogs to find them. The Obstacle - In fairytales it’s the Wicked Step Mother, in real life it can be a variety of things. The most common obstacles I see these days are…
A. Waiting for a Better Option - So They Typically Don’t Commit (Darn You Dating Apps!) B. Too Busy with Work or Friends - Or Maybe Just Too Busy for You (Hmmm…) C. Non-Commital Sex - Hate to say it, but when there are soo many people doing it just to do it, why would anyone want to commit to just one person? Especially when there are so many options?! (Also Hmmm……) D. Just Want To Be Single - Short and Sweet (Everyone Seems to be Finding Themselves These Days) Obstacles in my opinion are just excuses that when you find the right person it won’t be a problem at all. And that’s really all I have to say about that. So do Fairytales still exist? Yes. Are they different? Most Definitely Yes! Do I still want one? Yes, I want one. Doesn’t mean I want Cinderella’s story but I would like to be the Princess in my own Fairytale and that will be different for everyone because we are all growing and changing outside of the typical fairytales we all grew up with AND that’s a good thing! And, what’s great about these new rules is that you can write your own story and what can be better then that. What are your thoughts on The Princess, The Prince, and The Obstacle? Tell me below, I’d love to hear. Xoxo, @kellithinks |
