Dream Come True

Hey everyone!

I am really sorry for being away for too long!

So... Today I am going to share with you one of my favourite singers! His name is John Mayer, you probably know him as Katty's Perry ex-boyfriend!

Nowadays:

At the Grammys 

After,  I guess, 9 years likeing him, he is finally coming to Brazil! Firstly he was comig just for Rock in Rio, but then he decided to perform in São Paulo on his "Born & Raised world tour 2013"! And I am going!!!! It was one of the happiest days when I found it out!

Well, if you don't know him I am going to present!  He is a American boy, from Connecticut and he started his studies in music in Boston, but he decided to quit and then moved to Atlanta where started to become famous. His first album of all was "Room for Squares" and his new album is "Born & Raised". Also a few time ago he had cancer wich made him stop for a while, but now he is fine!

I started to like him when my father presented his first album to me... It was love at the first sight!
A few of my favourite songs:

There are many others that I love! If you liked him and you want to know more I would be glad to help, and if you knew him already tell me what is your favourite song!

Dare To Be Yourself

You know, people... In the past few weeks I've been putting myself in some situations I know that are wrong and bring me no good. Situations like standing in front of a mirror and pointing all and every single flaw I reckon I own. I've been accusing myself for not looking like everyone expects me to, and this is causing me pain, frustration and guilt. As far as I'm concerned, no one's perfect. But this ''judging sessions'' of mine ignore this fact and emphasises that everybody is seeking for perfection. And I have to do this too. Furthermore, something keeps whispering into my mind that, of all the people that I know, I'm easily the one who has the greatest number of flaws. It's not about being pretty or not pretty. It's about feeling enough or, in many cases, not enough.
However, making a way through these harsh weeks gave me the opportunity to make my mind up about this little battle inside me and get everything to be clear. You know when you see a stunning person and wonder to yourself ''Oh my God, this person must be so happy, he/she is flawless!"? Yeah, I've happened to think to myself like that, too. Several times. But we're wrong. Being stunning isn't a synonym of being happy. I don't even know where we got this idea from. Another thing I always do is to compliment my beautiful friends and get answers like ''Oh, I wish'' or "C'mon, you must be kidding". I realized that a lot - and I might say - all of us are going through the same path: struggling to deal with who we are.
So, firstly, I had to face the fact that life isn't made to be perfect. Neither do we. And I decided that every time I looked in the mirror from that moment on, I would dare myself to be who I am. Dare myself to be okay. Dare myself to love me. And I came here to say that if you've ever felt the way I felt, you're not alone. Make a enjoyable way through life, do not struggle with it. Dare yourself to be who you are today, and find out that you're way way way better than you thought you were. Look at the mirror and smile, instead of getting disappointed with yourself for being the way you are. No, we're not perfect. But we really don't need to be.

2 in 1 Post

Hello everyone!

I am really sorry for being away for so long... I am so going to try to don't do this again ok?!

Well, as a apology today I am doing a 2 in 1 post! Ahahah  something that I just invented! So, I am going to talk about to things in the same post!

I have got some new makeup products that I'd like to share with you, but today I will talk about a nail polisher and about an iPhone lens.

So let's do it!

Well, as you all were able to see THE COLOR OF THE YEAR IS EMERALD! I got all this nail polish at the Sephora store! I don't really remember the price, but the color is pretty amazing, I would say, one of my favourite green color in a few times. So I have not tried this yet, but as soon as I know it's Sephora stuff, that's why I would say it is good!  The package is really practical, also is not just one nail polish are 3! I guess it is pretty worth it.  I went to the Sephora website to check the price and it is US$18.00 (no tax). You may think this is expensive, but it is not! If you compare with the package that comes just 1 and costs US$10.00 (no tax). 

Emerald have already been shown up on red carpet, bags, shoes, clothes and many others!

Even Princess has being using it! 

Well this is my beauty/fashion advice for today!

Now the second subject! 

The pictures taken of the nail polish were taken by my iPhone camera! Yes it is true! I just had to use a Olloclip lens to create this amazing effects! 

The Olloclip lens is a 3 in one lenses that has Fish Eye, Macro and Wide Angle! The quality of the picture is excellent it is really practical! The price is about to US$69.99 (no tax). Here is a video:

Does anyone has one of this two things?!

Review: Sally Hansen "Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips"

Hello everyone!

How's everyone doing?

Well, as you all know I'm from Brazil and the last four days here were Carnaval. Which is a  traditional famous party here.

At this kind of celebration, people use to wear costumes and go out to dance and to see a kind of
parade.

On the other hand I didn't wear any kind of costume this year, but I wanted to be in the mood, so I colored my nails to , at least, don't forget about that.

Here it is:

                                                                                 

As you can see the color "changes" depending on the place and light you have, which is something I think it's really cool. 

I did it by myself and didn't have many problems, actually it was pretty easy to do. Specially because you don't get all painted and also don't have to clean anything up. I took about 30 minutes to put it on, because it was the first time ever I was doing something like this in my own nails.

Before I put the strips on my nails I removed my cuticles and for make it easier I used the Sally Hansen "Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm" this product is a cream that  hidrates the cuticle and makes it really easy to come off. 

Some Pics:

1- Cuticle Eraser

2- Nail Polish Strips

                                                            

Inside the Nail Polish Strips box come:

It comes with 2 packs of strips!

Hope you have liked! 

Have you guys ever used it?! Tell me!

Okay, today I'm here to introduce you my biggest style crush of the moment: Zoe Sugg. She's a beauty blogger and vlogger and she was my greatest inspiration to start writing this blog and in my wildest dreams I picture myself being able to tell her that (and be friends with her, okay). So here it goes some of the reasos that make her my biggest style crush:


1) Her Ombre Hair: She was totally my one and only inspiration to finally get my ombre hair done (which I'll show you very very soon)!

2) Her addiction for red lipsticks: You are all witness. Now, I wear red lipstick like crazy.

Believe me, she's always wearing them. Ugh, and she looks so good!

3) Her buns: I'm gonna stop saying. Everything in this girl inspires me.

4) Her collar shirts

Okay, you got me. I like everything about her. And I'll stop fangirling now. Bye.

Also, If you want to watch her videos and read her blog, here are the links:

it Girl: Blake Lively

Hello everyone!

Everytime that I need a help to get dressed I look up in a few websites, but I specially try to get inspired by my favorite it Girl, which is Blake Lively! Besides she dresses herself perfectly (and I love it about her), she also it's not afraid to diversify her outfits. I keep wondering what her wardrobe looks like and how big it might be.

So there a few of my favorite looks of her:

 This is my favorite look! She is wearing a gorgeous Marchesa dress! 

And you guys? Do you have a it Girl? Really would like to know :)

See you, 

Carol.

There are some funny cases, also some cute ones 

Tory Burch cases for iPhone 4/4s

Earphones and Headphones:

 Beats by dr. Dre earphones

It's all about us

"It's all about us..."

You know, guys, I was wondering these days, how many things we let escape from our hands just because we're not brave enought to face everybody's opinion? Dreams, wishes, feelings, talents... It's sad but it's true that almost everything we don't do it's because of the fear of the judgement. It feels like every eye in the room is watching your path and next steps, and the fear of making a mistake and falling is so huge that we feel afraid of even trying it on or considering the success.

These days it really came to my mind and it wouldn't let me rest for a minute without remembering moments of my life that I lost great oportunities just because I wasn't brave enought to face what people would think or, most important, what I would think about myself. The point is, beyond facing what everyone around thinks, the harder is to face what you think about yourself. If you think you're not enough, then you won't be enough. If you think you're not able to wear a different piece of cloth, then you will never be able to do it. If you think you can't go on and make a dream come true, you will definitely never believe in yourself to chase your dreams.

What I'm trying to say is: we spend so much time of our lives caring about what everybody's thinking about us, that we don't even stop to hear our own opinion about ourselves and consider that, maybe, we're the ones who are discouraging ourselves. It's all about acceptance and self-knowledge. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU. IT'S ALL ABOUT US.

My Favorite: Chanel Classic Flap Bag
