Yup...thats right, we broke up.

I mean you could have guessed it, all the normal breakup signs were there.

There have been no Bae updates, he's not on my Snapchat anymore, I haven't posted him on The Gram and he damn sure hasn't been on the blog. Hell I haven't even been on the blog and its partially due to the breakup.


To be very honest...I took it all pretty hard, I'm the type who puts everything into a relationship. I can become so clouded by the whole thing that if things go left...when I'm sitting here thinking things are going right (literally I didn't even see it coming) it hits me like a Mac truck...and I'm not talking about one that holds Makeup or Laptops which would have been so much better -___-

However after one very "honest" phone call and a come to Jesus moment with my bestie my devastated outlook on the ending of our relationship has been flipped and I'm in a much better place.

For once...I feel like I'm able to see the lesson's to be learned from our
 ending and how it all leads to a new beginning.

TALK ABOUT PERSONAL GROWTH BITCH!

And that what I'm here to share with you...the 6 lessons I learned from losing love.

Contrary to popular belief I haven't always been this super confident person.

Its actually quite the opposite.

 Growing up everyone else made it look easy to be cool and confident while I was the goofy girl who didn't quite have it all together. I was a nerd, I was in the band, I was a tomboy...which of course led to me getting made fun of by all the neighborhood kids. 

I'll spare you the pictures, but just imagine braces, oversized jeans, baseball socks and jerseys...I was pretty much a mess.

Confidence was something I had to learn and I'm still learning but there are 5 tips that have helped me  make my way to a more confident me. 

Just when I thought MAC had stopped playing with my emotions and coming for my pockets this year with all the the must have collections they've launched. From Taraji, to Selena (which will be relaunching in January in case you missed it) to Star Trek, to Liptensity and Mariah.

They did it again.

My little makeup loving heart just can't take it MAC released the promotional photos for their Nutcracker Sweet Holiday Collection and well....

As a first time international tourist Paris can be an overwhelming city to try and concur. Its the city of love, the city of museums and the city of a million things to do....so where the heck do you start?

Well, on my recent trip to Paris I did the leg work (literally there was a shit ton of walking) and hand picked some must do's while visiting Paris. I also mapped out a few things you can skip to save some coins (cuz you know how I do) and most importantly save you some time so you can have more freedom to do what you want.

Ill also throw in a few pro tips that I learned while I was there that will make your trip run a little smoother. 

So....lets get it!

If there is one thing that I absolutely love rocking during the fall and winter seasons...

ITS LIPSTICK!

I feel like its the perfect way to add a pop to your face when people are least expecting it. While everyone else is focused on finding the perfect boots, i'm focused on the perfect lipstick. 

But this fall I won't have any worries because MAC has changed the game up with their new Liptensity collection launching tomorrow September 20th.
