No filter.

Is our life really that perfect?!
What we make it seem on the media.
Going out to the best dinners, having the best outfits, the crazy parties, the best of friends...
Everything.
Is our life really that perfect?
No filter necessary?
Because mine is NOT.
Far from it actually, I have my daily struggles, my ugly fat days.
My depressed moments, I run out of milk after I have poured my cereal out.
[I hate that]
Is our life really that perfect?
It's something that has been weighing on my heart lately.
I want to be more.
I want to be able to live my life my way.
No regrets, no masks.
No filter.

Why do we allow this new social media world change the way things used to be?!
 Simple.
Truly, No filter.

Home.

Lately I have been spending a lot of time to my self. I'm the type of person who likes to stay busy,have a million different tasks going on in order to feel normal. Always on my phone,emails,calls,music on..that kind of thing. I hate feeling stressed,but I LOVE it and need it at the same time. {if that makes any sense}

As I sit here alone, in a quiet room I begin to think,meditate on my life, my hopes,dreams,fears and I pray. I've been praying and meditating for a few weeks now and I must say I feel at peace with my self. It's good to take a step back and just think. Hear what your heart has to say and let your mind wander.

I can't help but miss those I left behind; friends,family,career. All to try and search for my self,who I am and who I want to become. I definitely took some things and people for granted.

Example A:

Parents: Being able to stop by my parents house anytime to visit,chat & raid the fridge and feel at home no matter what.

Being able to pick up left overs from my moms amazing cooking she had done that day and so kindly saved some for me to eat.

Example B:

Siblings: Spending time with my siblings, watching a movie,asking my genius little brother to help me download new songs to my ipod, God knows how he does it. I sure don't.

I constantly got annoyed or bored , just imagine a 22 year old && 15 year old brothers,together? Ummm recipe for drama,drama,drama. 

And can I just quickly mention, how much they eat?! Umm they can each eat a cow. No joke. I'm like, how in the world are you going to finish a blender full of protein shake. FULL. To the very top of the blender. No cup necessary according to my little brother Josue. 

Example C:  Babysitting my niece & nephew. I have an adorable,gorgeous niece  named Dannika && a gorgeous,ham of a boy named Skyler. Dannika is two, full of life and energy.  I sure miss her the most, she loves to feed our family  beta fish named Paco & she also loves feeding our yorkie Cleo. At times I got frustrated running around after her and being exhausted. I miss her yelling "Tia Anea", stretching out her hand so I'd take her to the back yard and play on the swings. Her favorite, driving around with her as she points out all the cows and horses out on the field on the way to grandpa's shop.  She always said Abaco, for caballo in spanish which means horse. Ha even when I'm by myself I smile and think there's the abaco ,Dannika would love it.She loves animals {I'm getting emotional} moving on..

^^ But can you blame me?! She's the cutest && OMG her outfits, I die. She has the best personality && sense of fashion. [look at that scarf!]

Example D:

Dad,what can I say I'm a daddy's girl!

Stopping by my dad's shop and getting my oil changed,car cleaned and  checked before any major trip or just around town.  Because I'm the world's WORST keeping up with your car maintenance besides gas kind of person && sometimes I even fail at that. And did I mention for FREE?!

Example E:

Friends: Being able to call any of them to chat,gossip or meet up for happy hour that isn't the local " Applebees". I can't even make a phone call, my cell doesn't have service here.  NO network, actually. I have AT&T. The world's largest  provider? What??? Yeah I call that,bullshit. Raising the bar AT&T? Please raise it a little higher because here in Wyoming, it sure ain't working.

Like the accent I've acquired so far? ;) 

&& the little cuss word.

:O

Ya that's Wyoming.

So today hug your loved one a little tighter,tell them how much you love them and appreciate them, don't let the everyday life get in the way of what's really important.

FAMILY.

Tell them now,in person, while you can,every chance you can.

Because some day you won't be able to just  feel "at home".

Xoxo,Andrea Sarai

.do-it-yourself project. wine cork photo frame.

Hello loves!

So I've had these wine corks for quite some time and I finally have the idea/spare time to put them to use.

Here's what you'll need:

Wine corks.
Photo frame [any size will do] && [depending on how many corks you have]
Hot glue gun
Knife
Scissors ? I didn't really use them!
A clean,neat area to work... I used a flat card board box to work on.

Let's get started:
What I did is I arranged the corks how I liked them on the frame, and one by one started gluing them on slowly, adding pressure to make sure they stay properly secured. {THIS IS ON THE BACK OF A FRAME!}
* You can cut them in half with a knife, I'm a weak,weak cutter so I couldn't  && I liked the 3D look better on it.
I did have to cut some edges to make sure it fit perfectly! With the little end of the cork I added the flower sticker & used it to hold the picture in place.

Hope this helps & you guys try it!!
So fun && easy!! Post your looks on instagram && tag me #sarai1245

I lean like a Chola... Easy diy Halloween makeup look inspired by Orange is the new black!

Hello dolls! This look was inspired by the new show orange is the new black, cuz I love it.

Anyway let's get started,  for this look you'll need :

• A dark palette of eye shadows.
• A bandanna, any color you have available 
• Big hoop earrings 
• Brown eyebrow pencil 
• Liquid eyeliner
• Shiny silver like gloss.
• Glue stick
• Concealer

To create the best look, you'll want to cover your own eyebrows and conceal them using a glue stick & concealer.

* Refer to the previous post on how to cover your own brows*

Prime your face && apply foundation,concealer like normal, you can add a few layers since this is a heavier Halloween makeup.

Using a dark brown brow pencil draw your brows. This can be difficult , but BE CREATIVE any shape you want can work for this look.

Apply dark black shadow all over your lid, and on top of your real brow you  concealed, make sure to pad it down so the glue doesn't come off.

Add another dark color,I used a dark green aqua color on the crease,working the color upwards.
Add liquid eyeliner to your lash line and apply pencil eye liner to your water line, contour and highlight the face.

 I decided to add some fake tattoos, I drew on some tear drops with liquid black eye liner && some little dots on the other side of my temples.

Using the same eyebrow pencil, line your lips heavily. Apply  concealer all over your lips, add a gloss and op it off with a light pink eye shadow in the middle of the lips to create an illusion and plumper looking lips.

Throw on your bandanna && hoops && you're set to go!

Hope this was helpful && you guys try it!
'til next time, xoxo  Andrea Sarai

Easy diy creepy doll halloween makeup tutorial.

Hi dolls!!

I'm SO excited to share this new Halloween makeup look.
It's easy && the supplies you'll need are probably around your house right now!

Tools you'll need:

• Glue stick.
• Fake eyelashes 2 pairs [for bottom && top lashes]
• concealer lighter then your skin color
• a set on pink shadows
• liquid black eyeliner 
• eyelash glue 
• cotton pads 
• red lipstick 

Okay first things first.

To create a better illusion cover your eyebrows && create a new set.

Start by combing your eyebrows upwards with a spooly.

Apply glue to your brows in a upward motion. then comb it out to the side shaping your brow. LET IT DRY!!! && repeat the same process on the other brow!

that's what the brow looks like after the glue.

Now after the brows are dry, you want to get about a dime size of glue,make it a little ball,starting at the base of your brow and drag it all the way with a little spatula or spoon. LET IT DRY COMPLETELY [like 5 mins].  

After that's done apply the lightest concealer you have  onto your brows patting it in, layers && layers til you get the desired look.

this is what the look like {scary, I know]

• Add heavy powder on top of the brows [i used studio fix by mac] && start drawing on brows to the desired shape you'd like. 

• Now apply a base shadow all over the lid. I used a light white one on my victoria secret pallete.
• Apply a black shadow all over the lid on top of the base,patting it in.
• Apply a dark pink shadow using upward motions, on top of the black & repeat with a light pink.
• Apply a light white shadow to the brow bone on the "brow" you created.
• Apply liquid eyeliner && lashes && add mascara after to create a heavier,dramatic look.
• With white liner run it on your water line and on the bottom of your lashes creating a half circle.
• Add [patting in] white shadow on top of the liner.
• Trace around the half circle with black liner.
• Add lashes to the bottom of the half circle. [fold them inwards]
• Apply pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.
• NOW the FUN part. 
• 
  

To create the creepy mouth I used eyelash glue && cotton pads. [yes,cotton pads]

using a little brush create a line with eyelash glue to the desired size you want the mouth scar to be.

pull apart cotton pads and add little pieces to the line to create the scar look, after the whole thing is covered apply little dabs of glue to secure it. LET IT DRY! 

Now add foundation,I used liquid foundation and patted it in all over. Let it dry ... with a red lip stick & a little brush add the middle line on the scar. with liquid eyeliner add the little stitches how ever many you want to create the look.

Contour your face and add brown eye shadow at the end of the scar to create the dimple look effect.

Put concealer all over your lips, and create small doll like lips with a pink lip liner, and add on the middle a pop a light eye shadow.

That's it dolls, hope you liked this look && try it out!!

My skin care routine!

Hey dolls!!
I wanted to share with you guys my skin care routine since lots of you have asked as to what I use!
I'm currently traveling so everything is in the smaller sample sizes, for now til I get all my stuff moved in to our new place! Hopefully in a week! YAY!!

 This is my motd.

So here it is....

First thing I do is WASH my hands!!! ALWAYS,ALWAYS,ALWAYS!!!!
I take off my contacts, use a cleansing wipe to remove most of my makeup off.

Once I take most of it off I remove all my eye make up with Clinique take the day off. It's so gentle on your eyes and it doesn't burn. I moist cotton rounds with water then add the remover, gently rub in circular motions to take it all off.

After that I wash my face, using  mild liquid soap from Clinique, once all over circular motions and focusing on any blemished areas with my hands. Then with my electronic brush from Proactiv.

After that I rinse off my face and pat dry with a CLEAN face towel, as you can see that zebra towel is what I use for my face,its a good idea to have several face towels that way you don't add bacteria back onto the face with a random dirty towel. And you can rotate them while you wash them :]

I then apply toner with a cotton round all over my face lightly pressing onto skin.
I use Clinique clarifying lotion in #4 for oily skin. 

After that i let it dry, then apply Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair,placing dots all over my face and rubbing it in,seriously this is liquid GOLD!! Amazing and it smells bomb.

I then let it sink in/dry and apply Estee Lauder Idealist, this helps even out your skin tone and any dark marks, it makes your skin feel soooo smooth & soft. I love it!!

I follow it by using  dramatically different moisturizing gel from Clinique.

&& since I'm currently breaking out a ton  I do apply Proactiv #3 which helps with acne.

&&

Mary Kay satin lips to prevent my lips from getting dry!

That's it!

My skin feels amazing now && it's now time for bed. 

Well blog then bed ;)

Hope this helps,this may seem like a lot to some people, or not enough for others,this is like I said something that works out for me and I enjoy doing morning and night!!

Good night dolls && until next time!

Xoxo, Andrea Sarai

Easy FUN leopard Halloween tutorial!

Hey ya'll!

Fall is here and it's that time of the year to start thinking about Halloween and what to do?? Sooo many choices!!
Well if you want something easy and something that won't break the bank try this!

Start by washing your face!

• I use the mild cleanser from Clinique.
• Pat your face dry and tone. ( I use Clinique toner)
• Apply moisturizer (I use olay daily or Clinique)
• Apply primer all over the face (This will prep your face and makes your makeup last & stay)
• I filled my brows with Rimmel eyebrow pencil in dark brown & also use powder on top.
• Apply dark brown shadow all over the lid (I used mac saddle)
• Apply liquid eye liner on top (I used elf liquid liner in black) & pencil on water line
• Put on falsie lashes for a more dramatic look or just your own (personal preference, I have them on)
• Apply foundation and setting powder (I used Estee Lauder invisible fluid in 3cn1 & set w/mary kay translucent powder)
• Contour the nose,temples and cheeks.
• Apply a rosey blush where the whisker will be, (I used Clinique new clover)
• NOW the fun part! Start with your nose using a liquid eyeliner create a line across your nose towards the bottom of the nose) and fill in,including the nostrils.
• Apply concealer around the mouth area.
• Create a straight line from the nose to the lips.
• Using the liquid liner add dots all around the top lip ( Your preference on how you like it)
• Add whiskers.
• Using a darker foundation create dots all over your face and chest (play with different sizes and location)
• Using the liquid liner create a dot around the foundation spot,be creative the key is it doesn't have to look perfect ;)
• Tease and curl your hair,maybe add some ears! 
• AND You're done!
