Weekly Love 2/27/12

2012-03-04T19:47:00.001-05:00

This week was the first week back from school. Wow, the transition from vacation to school is rough when you're a second semester senior. I never thought I'd catch the senioritis but, I have a serious case. I've been trying to get myself out of it and was pushing myself to study for a math quiz I have tomorrow. But, I came on here to post - so much for reducing my procrastination. Anyways, beyond just suffering from intense laziness, I went on a field trip to a huge art museum this Thursday with my Spanish class and saw a lot of famous murals and artwork from famous Mexican artists. Also, I ran away from the pack to go find a few Monets. Claude Monet is definitely one of my favorite artists. Something about impressionism is so soothing. Then, on Friday, I drove with my parents to visit my sister until Saturday night. It was definitely great to catch up with her and meet her friends and "family" at college. I sadly won't be seeing her again until the end of the school year. Besides that, I've overeaten so much this week. The upcoming week will definitely be about reducing my food intake. I still feel like a ball after an overload of Korean food!
In terms of things I hauled, I didn't get too much. I was clearly pretty busy this week but, I managed to pick up a few things at the beginning of the week. I bought a Kenneth Cole "Sassy Sling Crossbody" from a local outlet in a pretty turquoise suede color. I thought it'd be the perfect size and color to bring out to college with me in the future. It was a pretty good steal at around forty dollars. I also picked up a pair of Calvin Klein tights from the outlets. There were two pairs of black tights with different types of patterns on them. I've been really into wearing skirts, tights, and boots so, they'll definitely come in handy. Besides that, I just bought a lot of pastries and chocolate croissants (favorite!) to bring home with me from my weekend trip! :)

On my wish list for this week is this watch (isn't it just gorgeous??), and a couple of possible prom dress picks. Don't even get me started on this "prom-a." (prom + drama)

Girls With Glasses are Sexy too.

2012-02-26T22:21:00.003-05:00

A lot of pictures, I know. But, I have a little story behind my sudden glasses embracing. I realized, somewhere between my dance moms marathon and my pilates workout, that it's silly for me to feel the way I do when I wear my glasses. Again, this will sound silly, but, I truly do get a huge confidence boost when I wear my contacts versus when I'm wearing glasses. Maybe it's because no one in the media is considered "pretty" while wearing glasses, I'm not completely sure. Yet, since I was 11 years old, I've been wearing contacts. Many people have no idea I have glasses even. But, in a few short months, I'm going to be in college, roaming both the campus and the dorms with my glasses on. Am I just going to lack confidence and feel awkward when this happens? I hope not. So, in preparation, I'm wearing my glasses more places and just getting used to the fact that girls who wear glasses can be beautiful too. Because, it's true.

So, if you feel the same way I do when you make the glasses-contacts switch, join me! Embrace your glasses.

Tutorial: Everyday Grey Smokey Eye for Brown Eyes

2012-02-23T00:34:00.002-05:00

I really love this look a lot! I had been experimenting with grey eyeshadows and came up with this look. I'd like to say I wore this look from about 10 am until 7 pm and it looked great throughout the entire time. So, if you're looking for a long wearing eyeshadow look, this may be fore you! I'd definitely recommend wearing this to any special occasion you'd like and if you lighten up the eyeliner, it's perfect for everyday.

I can't keep up with your turning tables;

2012-02-22T09:00:00.000-05:00

Close enough to start a war,
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more.
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

I'm currently super obsessed with Adele. Her lyrics are kind of perfect.

My Top 5 Favorite Nail Polishes

2012-02-21T10:04:00.000-05:00

Although I'm not a huge nail fanatic, I have a decent sized nail polish collection. These are my top nail polishes that you'll most likely be seeing me wearing in all my videos/pictures. Keep in mind, I'm a huge fan of the light pink/nude nail polish look. I find that it makes fingers look longer and clean.

Arm Party

2012-02-19T19:20:00.000-05:00

The Arm Party begins! As summer and spring approaches, I've slowly become more and more obsessed with bracelets. The best type are the ones that look homemade. Everyone, including me, pays even hundreds of dollars for that homemade, boho feel in their bracelets. You could just make your own. It's literally so easy. I'm going to be posting tons of posts on cool bracelets you can make on your own. DIY is so much more fun anyways! In the meantime, as I work on those DIY posts, here are some photos of the crazy bracelet combinations I've been wearing.

A World Away

2012-02-13T19:22:00.005-05:00

A month ago feels like a completely different world. Maybe it's just because a month ago I was in a totally different life situation, or that a month ago I was so much more naive yet, here I am, a month later. Although I'm proud of myself for how much I've learned and changed in the last month, I am always going to be looking towards the future or, what is to come. I think, over the past five or so weeks, I've learned to trust my gut instincts, and most of all how to become a truly strong woman. A lot of girls give off the vibe of being confident and sure of their decisions and I am willing to admit I am not that person, yet. I hope that I can develop into the girl that is fine on her own, and that truly doesn't need a boy in her life as a security blanket towards her happiness. I hope I can realize the truth in that statement and simply forget about men for a short blip in my life and focus on something I haven't in a while, myself.

So, after contemplation and a lot of journal writing, I've decided to organize this desirable change for myself, to make it more attainable. I'm hoping to change for the better, in every single way. I want to be able to focus on one aspect of myself during a one week time period, where I can improve myself in the little ways, and hopefully, over time, improve myself in a big way. There is no time for moping over the past, there is only the future in sight.

So, what am I doing to improve myself? Well, first off, I'm recording everything in my journal, which has slowly become everything. On a side note, after reading through entries from even September of 2011, I can tell how utterly unhappy I was with myself and in that place of life. I think it was upsetting that it took me so long to get out of such a place, and I believe I'm so much more carefree nowadays. Anyways, besides just recording things, I'm focusing on three separate topics: Mind, Body, and Soul. They're all very vague yet, I think they're reasonable things to focus upon, especially with the way I want to change myself.

Mind: I want to improve the way I think about the world, the way I study, the way I perform in school, and my overall mental health as well. So, this includes, reading books I've always meant to and writing the novels that I spin in my head that I've never gotten the chance to. It also means completely focusing on school for that week, and on getting enough sleep to recuperate after a long day.

Body: This one's obvious. Working out! Eating healthy. Watching my overall physical fitness. I've come to realize how good it really feels to eat healthy and to know you're taking care of your body.

Soul: For me, this is religion. Focusing on my religion that week. I don't want to get into this too much.

Hopefully, after sampling what it's like to be completely devoted to these three areas, I will slowly make the changes a part of my daily life where everyday I live works towards becoming better, and the best I can be.

I challenge you to do the same, Change! Improve! I believe you can. We all can.

Rainbow Smokey Eye

2012-02-03T21:17:00.004-05:00

I decided to just play with some colors today, and I came up with this look! There's really not much too it but, I think the combination of colors is pretty. If you want to make this more wearable, try just doing the upper portion of the makeup look and choosing one color for a pop of color on the lower lashline.

Taylor Swift

2012-01-29T19:44:00.001-05:00

My attempt at some sort of Taylor Swift waves (tutorial soon)

But when you think Taylor Swift
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we sang to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the street
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Taylor Swift
I hope you think of me

"Tim Mcgraw" by Taylor Swift has always been a long time favorite song of mine. Actually, Taylor Swift has always been a favorite. I fiddled with the words a little. This post is for someone out there, if he ever reads this. Learning to accept changes, especially for the better, are one of the best lessons in life.

Perfect Glowy Valentine's Day Makeup

2012-01-25T23:40:00.000-05:00

This is one of my all time favorite looks, ever. I do this eye makeup all the time - for school, out with friends, fancy events, whatever; it works for everything. I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial as much as I do wearing it. I've gotten so many compliments on this makeup that I was determined to make a tutorial on it somehow. So, I decided to use it as my Valentine's Day look for 2012 because, well, it's perfect. You don't actually think you're going out to dinner with pink eye shadow, do you? This look is subtle, slightly festive (because of the grayed out purple) and just makes you glow. Nothing gets better than something this effortless.

Dear Christie...

2012-01-13T21:53:00.004-05:00

I've been meaning to start something like this for a while. With the new year, and starting fresh, I've decided to update and add to my youtube/blogging lifestyle. I've already revamped my banner of this blog, and am planning on revamping my youtube channel and have other ideas in mind. As a means to get to know anyone who follows/tweets/views my videos more, I've decided to create this little "open forum" for anyone who wants my advice. I know, ha!, my advice. In the meager 17 years of my existence, I've only gathered quite a few pearls of wisdom but would love to share them with anyone who would want my advice. I'm up to helping anyone with any thing from study tips for school, how to ignore bullies, boy problems or even just fashion and beauty tips. Whatever you want, I'm game!

All you have to do is either....

Shoot me an email at daisycheekz@rocketmail.com OR you can inbox me on via the youtube inboxing system (not the best option, honestly..) at www.youtube.com/user/daisycheekz

I'm excited for any of your questions. I'd love to help anyone I can in anyway. If I find a really common question, I may post some of the answers on these blogs (all people who ask questions will remain anonymous, unless you want your name on my blog, then I'll definitely leave contact information etc.)

People Never Change

2012-01-10T01:10:00.004-05:00

People never change. No matter what you say to them, they never listen. Faith in humanity is like faith in cheap brand of makeup.

Here's a plum smokey eye I did today for an exclusive 17 tutorial. I thought I'd share the pictures I took from it. Enjoy!

Breakup Updates: So. Over. This.

ugly picture.. of the makeup. LOL

Thoughts

2012-01-09T00:57:00.000-05:00

Strength is hard to come by these days. There isn't a lot of left. Some may actually say that girls have too much of it. Honestly, girls can never have too much. It is only a matter of time before a guy manipulates, disrespects, lies, and treats her in a disgusting manner. What would the girl do in that situation if she didn't have any strength? She wouldn't leave him. She'd keep turning back. Love, it's an interesting word. People use it without even thinking about what it truly means. Love is treating the one you supposedly love like they mean absolutely everything to you (because they do) and with the most respect possible. I'd suggest people not to throw that word around; it can lead to a lot of expectations. I guess I'm here to chronicle some sort of "break up" journey. If you couldn't tell already, my ex boyfriend and I have broken up. I am fully ready to start fresh and new, without a boy in tow. I don't need any baggage right now. There's a lot of anger, and emotion left still. I mean, who can blame me? I know I'll be totally fine in a few weeks. Without a peep from him, I'm feeling a lot better already. I'm going to be glad to leave this relationship, the emotions, and the love that I regrettably felt, behind me. I'd be happier if it could just disappear, honestly. But, I know this is impossible. Even if I don't feel any of the emotions I feel now in the future, I will always remember what happened: the events, the betrayal, the tears. Neither of us will forget them; it is impossible, after all. One of us will think we made the biggest mistake of our lives, the other will be glad they got out, and finally feel like they can breathe again. Guess which one I am. I am ready to move on, and hopefully will completely soon. I want to catch life in my hand, and live it without anything holding me back. I can become the lady I hope to be one day, respectful, always genuine and sympathetic, generous and very very fit (haha I am going to start going to the gym, a lot more). I want to be able to pursue what I want, no distractions, no limits. And do you know how people think they should be friends after they breakup? I'm going to leave that honest decision to time.

Some funny quotes from The Book of Poisonous Quotes for the more light hearted...
"Women have their faults. Men have only two: Everything they say. Everything they do." -Anonymous
"Man is the missing link between the ape and the human being." -Anonymous
"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." -Gloria Steinem
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." -Mae West
And to make this less ... man hating...one for the men reading this..
"A woman reading 'Playboy' feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual." -Gloria Steinem

The End

2011-12-31T23:39:00.000-05:00

It's 11:30 pm of December 31, 2011. The last moments of 2011 are upon me. Am I ready for 2012? I'm honestly not quite sure. 2011 has been a year of growth, failures, learning to get back up, and blessings. I am so glad to have the family and friends I have to support me through everything I do. I'm not sure what I want out of 2012. It's the year I graduate and finally finish high school. It's the year I apply (which I did already!!) to college, and finally start college. I know it's going to be a year I will never forget, for various reasons. It's going to be a year of transitions and turning points. Hopefully, I'll be able to take everything head on.

And if you're interested, here are a few of my New Year's resolutions.
1. God first.
2. Sleep (more).

3. Love (more).
4. Workout (like 3x a week actually).
5. Successfully complete a project 10 pan

And, here's 2011 in a couple of pictures (most recent to least... sort of)

How I curl my hair... Cool

2011-11-28T22:32:00.001-05:00

So, this is how I curl my hair. I've been doing it recently. It's not terribly time consuming, maybe 25 minutes for all of my hair, and it stays in forever.

I used a 5/8'' curling iron from hot tools and a conair 1'' curling iron at the highest heat settings. I simply sectioned my hair vertically and used the smaller iron on the front portions of my hair. I curled all hair away from my face. I clamped half way, did a 180 with my hand, and then released the clamp to the bottom of the strand and curled all the way back up again. Near the back, I used the larger barrel to get less curlier hair. The mixing of textures keeps the hair from looking too uptight, and tightly curled. I made sure to spray in heat protectant before and to spray hair spray onto each strand before curling (the key to making it hold). After finishing everything, I misted my hair with hairspray again. That's really it, I have a video coming up on this. The waves/curls are relaxed enough to be worn everyday, and I think they're actually quite similar to the ones the VS models wear on their fashion show (and in general).

Enjoy loves!

2011-11-26T22:30:00.001-05:00

I've decided to start something new with this blog, not to take away from the usual makeup and fashion posts. But, rather, to have something additional to give this blog more, substance, shall we say. Some of you will really dislike these posts, if you don't, please just don't read them. Skim over them. X out your window or tab. These posts are for me, and for those who want to read them. Some may find them helpful and others will find them a way to get to know me better. I really believe in these. So, these are going to be something like testimonies, little anecdotes about my spiritual life. Yes. JESUS. I said it. So here goes testimony number one. I think I'll do these weekly.

I guess I'll start off and say, this is going to be reflections on my senior year - what I think of it, and how it's been going so far. As compared to junior year, it's been more and less stressful. During the first few months of the year, there was a lot less work, yet a lot more stress because of college applications and the like. Especially with all the major competitions this year, I've been feeling the pressure. And even beyond the temporary pressure you feel at a competition, the lasting pressure to get into a good college. Now, everyone has been telling me, and I guess every other senior that this year is about us, or me. "Make this year about you." It's your year to shine, to embrace the end of a chapter of your life. Yet, quite frankly, I don't want this year to be about me. If I make this year all about myself, where does it put God? Clearly not my number one. It'd be all too clear that I'd be my own number one. So, my prayers for myself, are to God, asking Him how to show me the way to put Him as my number one in my life. It's become all too clear that if someone puts God as his number one, and claims the God as his Lord and Savior, that God will show him the way, that God will provide. And that brings me to the second worry of my senior year, college. Lovely, gotta love the subject. It's all uncertainty, worry and self esteem issues for seniors. You also can't forget the hardcore passive aggressive competition between students applying to the same universities. Yet, I've been trying, and will continue to try for the next few weeks to put my faith completely in God. Where he puts me is going to be the right place. Trusting completely in Him, and trusting in that statement is something I need to work on. And, as a young believer, I think it is always our struggle - to put our lives, our well beings into His hands, giving it all up to Him. It is my hope that we can all work on this together. I am with you, to anyone who is reading this. Feel free to comment or contact me with any of your troubles. I'd love to grow close to you in Him!

And some verses to meditate upon...

Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Okay, I know. I admit it. I'm like the worst, most inconsistent blogger on this planet. Yet, a lot has been going on in life, and I mean, I'm giving myself a break (if that's even possible, are self imposed breaks real?). I've needed it, life has been overwhelming and I've needed time to just be myself. Yet, eventually, I'll wean myself back into the groove of things. I'm uploading this video tomorrow night. I saw that I had quite a few new followers (hello! <3) and wanted to do this for them. A new blog post with just a few up close pictures of my makeup look that will be going up tomorrow!

Life is short. Live with no regrets.

2011-11-05T23:25:00.000-04:00

She picked up the limp, frayed ends of her life, running them through her fingers. She felt the ends that were split by pain. They slipped through her fingers, over and over. They kept on separating. Yet, she picked them up again and again. The broken pieces of her heart and the fragments of her once full life were within the yarn she had in her hands. She silently wept, feeling hot tears roll down her cheeks as she began to pick them up, lacing them through her needles. Slowly, stitch by imperfect stitch, she began to knit her life back together.

i just thought this picture was cute. heh, no relation to absolutely anything.

A lot has happened over the last couple of days. I really feel like I need to write something about this, and I think a lot of other people would appreciate my thoughts. I feel as if I'm being told that life is short, and anything tragic, and terrible can happen to me in an instant. I could lose someone. I could pass away. Anything can happen in the next second. For example, I recently watched the movie Soul Surfer with a few friends which has this exact theme (If you are unfamiliar with the plot of the story, it's about the life of a professional surfer named Bethany Hamilton. Her arm was bitten off by a shark while she was surfing and she had to learn to get up and get through her struggles). Anything can happen to us. We could lose anything or everything. So, I will genuinely try to learn to appreciate every single thing in my life. We take so many things for granted. Yet, we could lose everything so quickly. I hope you will too. I want to start living the life I have tried to plan for myself, the one I wanted to have. Why not? I may only have today. Make each second count. Love each other. Be there. Do not regret anything. If you do, try to fix it - say sorry, or just change from this point on. We deserve so much more than a life not lived out to its potential. Love. Live.

Don't count the miles/Count the I love yous

2011-11-01T23:14:00.000-04:00

I think I should start out this blog post with an explanation. I've been gone from the youtube and blogging sphere for a very long time (about a month). But, honestly, my only excuse is, I've been busy. And this is completely true. I've been busy with applications to college and with various other applications. Besides this, I've been using up my time by spending more time in extracurriculars, friends and with just myself. It has been so nice to have a break but, I'm back!

I've been dabbling around with my shopping lately: just buying a few things here and there. So, I decided to do a haul on my first video back (because I know everyone loves a good haul). This haul is decently sized, considering it's over about a month period of time. I have my thoughts on most of these products because I've tried out almost all of them.

On a side note, The song reference is Miles by Christina Perri if you didn't get it. These lyrics are just so good. Read through them and listen to the song when you get the chance.
"I’m scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me, that’s the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see
I won’t make it alone, I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s

We made it out, and all the other people are asking how
This doesn’t even sound like truth to grow from a bruise
But one day we will realize how hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s

But that’s not how it went
‘Cause you gave up on us in the end
And I won’t make it alone, I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s "
