I created this piece back in 2011... I'll finally be getting back to mixed media (photography and digital) works this year. <3 Something my heart has been aching for again...

I have been enjoying using the Prisma App for creating artsy styles from your phone photos since I discovered it last year. I was in an artsy-alien mood last night and created these two lovely, interesting Alien Style pieces using the Prisma App. <3 I snapped a few selfies, mirrored the image then edited it through Prisma. I just loved the results and had to share! <3 PRISMA APP

Neutrogena Acne Proofing I'm thrilled to be partnering with Neutrogena®.  Neutrogena® is excited to introduce Acne Proofing™, the newest acne product for your skincare arsenal. Combining gentle Neutrogena cleansing innovation and the powerful acne-fighting ingredient salicylic acid to deliver the ultimate complexion perfecting solutions, Acne Proofing™ products clear breakouts, plus help preserve skin’s natural barrier so it can finally become more acne proof. Break the Break Out Cycle… Acne is a full-face condition where bacteria and inflammation can create a vicious cycle of flare-ups, breakouts and painful, sensitive skin. Research shows that acne sufferers have a weaker skin barrier – and damaging that barrier can trigger the breakout cycle. Choosing the right cleanser that respects the fragile skin barrier can help to protect against future breakouts.  Acne Proofing™ gently cleanses your face and helps keep it clear.  Neutrogena® breaks my breakout cycle and...

    On our last post we focused on CrowdTap Unilever Campaign 16, this time around we're focusing on CrowdTap Unilever Campaign 15. <3 The first two products, Suave Professionals Rose Oil Infusion Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner. The first noticeable quality was the lovely rose scent as soon as you poured the shampoo out unto your hands. Like strolling through a rose garden with the shampoo and the conditioner as well! <3 After application of both the shampoo, conditioner and blow drying my hair, there was a considerable amount of volume and moisture added to my typically dry, limp hair. When I want my hair twirly I usually sleep with my hair in a loose, twisted, top of head hair bun. All night I could smell this wonderful rose aroma surrounding my face which made my sleep quite extra lovely! <3  The results below after use:  The Unilever 15 Campaign Box also consisted of one Suave Professionals Natural Hold Compressed Micro Mist Ha...

    I am always thrilled to be a part of ANY CrowdTap Sampling!  <3  I was super excited when I found out I was accepted into Unilever Campaign 15 and 16 which were both amazing Suave Professionals products in my box! So many Suave Professional goodies to discover, try and share with my husband.  <3     This post however is just focusing on the box I received first in the mail which was Unilever Campaign 16. The 3 products received in the first box were 2 products focused on anti-dandruff and scalp care as well as one two minute super conditioner. I suffer from severe dry, winter scalp which is inclusive of a lot of dandruff. It is most visible around the edges of my hairline which can be so embarrassing when it is cracking, peeling and flaking even to the point of slightly bleeding at times. Needless to say, it makes dyeing my hair painful when my scalp is this dry. I was very much looking forward to seeing the dir...

Kot Dae Ji - Flower Piggy Korean BBQ 1411 Gessner Rd. Suite A, Houston, Tx 77080 We ordered too much food and we had no regrets, lol. :P  The staff was all smiles which was so refreshing. It certainly made us feel very welcome and at ease as we waited for our dishes to start arriving. Before I knew it, our table was filled with food and the friendly servers were grilling up our meat for us. <3 Absolutely EXCELLENT food and customer service. <3 

BLAZE PIZZA 9650 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77063 www.blazepizza.com Our visit to Blaze Pizza in  February  2018 was an absolute delight! It was our first visit and the staff certainly did make it a pleasant one. The pizzas were a cheesy treasure and we loved the salad and drink selection offered as well. There was an area for easy to access to-go boxes making it super efficient  to quickly pack up any leftovers to take on the go. <3  Cheers! xoxo, Maria and John
