Estrellita L 🇹🇹🇵🇦

It’s been a month since you’ve left me… Still can’t believe you’re gone. My best friend in the whole wide world is gone. I pick up my phone every morning to call you and get sad each time because I remember you won’t pick my call and I won’t get to see you on FaceTime sitting in the warm Florida sun with a smile on your face. Each day I’m reminded by Z that “Ama Ele is in our hearts so we don’t have to be sad”, she’s right and she’s sooo smart and she reminds me so much of you and it hurts so much because you should still be here but you’re not. The past few months have been some of the hardest and darkest I’ve ever experienced. Being the oldest and next of kin it became my responsibility to make all the big decisions regarding you while in the hospital and I did my best to advocate for you and make all the hard decisions. I prayed, my internet friend and family prayed. God heard our prayers. We thought you would make it and it hurts so much. The day before you ascended baby Queso and I were the last to see you and I don’t think I’ll ever get how I last saw you out of my head. My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever be ok, you no longer being here doesn’t even make sense to me. You were the best mom ever, the most beautiful inside and out, kind, non judgmental, loving, generous, quietest, bravest and strongest fighter I know. I will keep close to me all you’ve taught me. I carry you in my spirit and I promise to always tell the girls about you. I will do my best to honor you and make you proud of me. I wish you were still here though I could really use one of your hugs where you whisper how much you love me and encourage me. I promise to be there for my sister because we’re all we got. I am so grateful that I was blessed with you as my mom and thankful I was able to experience you. Thank you everyone for all the prayers, helping with our gofundme to lay mom to rest, along with reaching out to us it is greatly appreciated. Please love on your people, life is short and you don’t know when you’ll get another chance. Be kind to others because you never know what they’re dealing with. Create memories, take pictures, appreciate every moment.

For my oily/combo skin type I quite liked the @dalba_global spray serum, it was weightless but definitely enhanced the skin, wasn't not greasy to the touch. As an artist I would definitely like to try this on dry-normal skin types. Lastly this product smells so beautiful

For me having "perfect" lighting has been a big thing. Now my previous light set up wasn't bad, I just wanted better for myself. I had these panel lights for a piece of time along with the reflector but I needed something to fill the light under my face especially since I'm doing beauty content & came up with the perfect solution Light set up **Everything can be found in link in my bio under Amazon Makeup Artist faves** -2 panel lights -1 soft box -1 reflector (on table top) #lighting #videolighting #lightsetup

Let's simplify things? Newsflash not everyone is a mua or enthusiast but a lot of the gworls have a couple staples in their makeup bags. So here's an easy to follow full face with minimal products that still result in a flawless finish. #beginnerfriendly #makeupturorial
