Southern City Dreams

As I was sitting down on this beautiful Monday afternoon (sunny and 83!) I couldn't help but get inspired to write on my blog. As summer has flown by right before my eyes I couldn't help but think that I haven't posted in forever. Today is a good day to share with you all one of my favorite quotes as pictured above. "Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them."  I love it so much that it is currently my iPhone screensaver! When I see this quote I am reminded of some many things. It reminds me of the strong women before me such as my mom, my grandmothers, great-grandmothers, great-great-grandmothers, etc.  I was raised by the best examples of strong women.  As I reach the age of having my own daughter I want to be that example for her.

Hi my dear friends. I thought it would be fun to do another post on makeup! I know that I love makeup and others may or may not feel the same way. If you don't really like makeup or get into makeup that is totally okay! I also do not like things. We all are different and that is way makes us unique :) I previously did a OBB Vol I You can check that out  here  . I chose to do NYX Cosmetics and this time I didn't choose a drugstore brand.

Some of my favorite from the LORAC PRO palette are Taupe, Gold, Champagne, Nude, and Espresso :) Another favorite from LORAC is the POREfessional concealor!
