So many changes coming in our lives in the next few months. A lot of new opportunities and new environments. I am looking forward to the many things that the rest of this year brings and sharing them here on my blog & my social media platforms as well.  As we head into Easter weekend, I have color on my mind. Lots and lots of color! <3 I created this lil goodie using the Prisma App. (The icon for the app is a black triangle.)  Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and blessed holiday weekend!  xoxo, Maria De Jesus Berry

   There are so many breaches of privacy and information this day in age. For that reason, I decided a webcam cover for my laptop would ensure any personal breaches of access to my personal computer camera. So I was thrilled when I received this complimentary webcam cover by Steagle. <3 I immediately used it and found myself feeling safer as I went about my usual computer work. What a fantastic sense of security. Thank you 0.8L and Steagle!

Thank you PinchMe and Clairol for my wonderful complimentary hair dye! I received my free shade in Dark Brown. <3 

I snapped these lovely shots at the Menil and the surrounding area using the Hipstamatic App. <3

    I have a fairly hard time finding full coverage foundations and concealers to cover my VERY dark circles and small veins from having very light skin. I had the chance to sample the Julep Cushion Complexion 5-in-1 Skin Perfector with Turmeric and I FELL IN LOVE with it! I was sent 4 wonderful light shades so that I could match to my skin tone, thanks to CrowdTap . The results are absolutely wonderful! I have since joined the Julep Ambassador Team and I LOVE every minute of it! I learn about their products in detail and find out about new product releases. The  Julep Cushion Complexion 5-in-1 Skin Perfector with Turmeric comes in a wide array of shades to match your skin tone and give you max skin coverage without caking or drying and cracking. It has a smooth, soft finish and lasts me throughout my busiest days. <3 Flawless finish!!! <3
