Resolutions

Well, hello there lovelies! I know, I know, It's been a long time but school has honestly been kicking my butt. I have been busier that ever with life and....EVERYTHING. I promise I will be back with full force next semester but for now this is my last post of year. 

As the year draws slowly to an end, I am re-evaluating my life, my priorities, my friends, the decisions I've and the person I have become. I have realized that it is okay to change but the question I ask myself is, am I a better person now than I was last year? have I grown? Honestly, I don't know but I do know that I have more time to become the woman I want to be and I am not there yet. So my journey continues and until I reach my peak I will work harder than ever. 

I have had an amazing year and I am hoping next year is even better. I am letting go of everything(and everyone) that has hurt me and embracing all the AMAZING memories I have made. I have learned that you can't be good at everything, you can't be loved and understood by everyone, and you need to accept those that actually DO care for, love, understand and accept you, flaws and all. Most importantly live life for yourself and not for anyone else. Life is way too short to be living out some else's dreams; it is way too short to be living life to please any one but yourself.

Strive to make our world better, strive to BE better, strive to LIVE your dreams. There is no easy way out. Some of you think we are still young but the truth is we start building our values right here, right now. What do you stand for?

To all of you, 

Happy Finals

Happy Holidays

Have a  HAPPY HAPPY and BLESSED New Year

and please please stay safe where ever you are.

Yours Forever,

Marcie

Rain on Red

my little cousins trying sneak up on me lol

This weekend was.....an adventure! But most of what happened will remain my little secret :). What I will tell you is it was plenty, plenty fun but it's time to get back to work :/

Today it rained and it was cold and I didn't feel like doing anything :/ I pretty much stayed in bed most of the day except for lunch with my family! Have I ever mentioned I hate cold weather? Today I decided to go comfortable and casual to lunch with my red plaid shirt and a really cool pair of pants from zara that are part waxed denim and part spandex. I completed the look with my gold cuffs and necklace (as always). Did you notice, I finally straightened my hair! Today, I just did it! lol


It's almost Mondayyy! :) HAPPY MONDAY! lol :/ Have a good week! :)


Yours Truly,

My Life in Red

Those who know me well, know I LOVE Red Lipstick! I have a bunch of different shades and textures and brands. Here are my four favorite with the exception of MAC Ruby Woo, which I cannot find :( :( :( :(. When I do find I promise I will up a picture of me with it one. It is my favorite of the favorite and I cannot live without it.

I prefer the darker shades of red to the brighter one because, in my opinion, its a little more edgy/sophisticated/mysterious lol. The brighter shades (the last two) are very Spring-y/Summer-y while the darker shades are more for Fall and Winter but I wear the dark shades all-year round :)

Which one do you prefer?

By the way, its gonna snow today...:( and rain tomorrow! Did I ever mention I hate New England weather.
