"I am thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn't have stumbled upon my strength"

Alexandra Elle

Such a simple concept but these words can go a long way when you need to hear them the most. 
Always be grateful for every good thing that happens and especially for every bad thing that happens to you because you learn more from the bad things than you ever will from

Review: Neutrogena Moisture Oil-Free Cream with SPF 15

I always have to conduct a deep and extensive research before purchasing anything that goes on my face. I have super sensitive skin that requires a specific caring routine from day-to-day. So if your skin is anything like mine, you will understand the struggle of trying new products (double checking the ingredients, reading 3892748932 reviews online, consulting professionals and so on). 

I decided to switch up my regular face moisturier from Aveeno to the Neutrogena

Review: Lip Bar Lipsticks

I recently purchased two Lip Bar lipsticks and it was my first time trying it. I had heard a little about the product here and there, but nothing too extravagant. What really caught my attention and actually made me want to purchase the lipsticks was the fact that they're 100% organic!

"I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I've become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no long spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist any more with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise.I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that's why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything, I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience."
