It Takes You

Hello everyone,

Hope you're having a good year already.so I decided to do a motivayional post and if you're familiar with my style of writing,you'd know that this is not my usual thing but i hope it inspires you.I got the inspiration for this post in the bath tub while having one of my occassional long baths and it just occurred to me that we are two weeks down in the year already.Just like that? *surprised*

But the good thing is...there are 50 more weeks to make a mark this year.

I'm not one for new year resolutions but if you did set out resolutions,what are you doing to achieve them?

Don't just sit around expecting your dreams to come true,expecting your aspirations to work out themselves.NO they won't except you work at it,except you push hard.

At the rate this year is moving,you'd wake up some day and realize its 31st december again! Another year gone by without any remarkable achievements ???
I'm sure nobody wants that

Give 100% this year,pursue your passion,acquire a new skill,upgrade your skills and ultimately upgrade yourself in every possible way and whenever you're tempted to give up? Don't stop trying and in the end you'll be better for it

cheers!

Bridal Makeover | Tomi !!!

Hi everyone.
just thought to post this bridal makeup look before it gets outdated.Tomi got hitched on the first of december and i had so much fun working with her and her entire bridal party.The bride and i had decided months earlier that i was gonna be her makeup artist and she didn't (for a minute)change her mind about that,for that i'm totally grateful.

Anyways,her colors for the day were in shades of blue and i had this beautiful look i had created in my head of how i wanted her to look on her wedding day before i realised that she wasnt really into makeup.

so i had to reduce my application on her face to its most natural look and she loved it because it was her kind of makeup.The finished look was unbelievable and everybody loved the simple,yet stunning transformation.
