The Tequista’s Take on Eyelashes
Technology and science are not solely limited to electronics and computer equipment. It surrounds us in every aspect of our lives. They can make life easier or more difficult, depending on how accepting you are of them. This time around I want to talk about a topic that is very near and [...]

Monday, March 8, 2010
Image. So much in our society revolves around how we look to others; our physical attractiveness, what clothes we wear, the type of cars we drive, the homes we live in, who our friends are, what we do for a living, and how much money we make. We place an inordinate amount of value on [...]

Monday, March 1, 2010
When the responses poured in, I braced myself for what I knew would inevitably occur: judgment. I’m a blogger, so I know that each time I share something, especially something related to my family, I open myself to the perspectives of others; some pleasant, some well-meaning, and others, well…honest, if nothing else. I [...]

Wednesday, February 24, 2010
I’ve always had a passion for technology. No one believes me when I share this. Who would think that a woman who has forged her career in the beauty and fashion industries would even care about the processing speed of a laptop? I do admit that my interest goes beyond the technical [...]

Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Today I woke up with an unfamiliar feeling. Stronger than desire, I felt the need to go to church. For most of my life, I was involved in the church. Not only was I in Catholic school for over 14 years, but my mother was a devoted parishioner for most of her life. [...]

Friday, February 12, 2010
I’ve always viewed my father’s advice as an instrument to inspire fear and blind obedience in me. As I matured, I realized that there were some kernels of truth in his ignorant rants. One thing he always said to me was “That person you think is your friend is really the mouse who eventually [...]

Friday, February 5, 2010
The results are in: Good guys do NOT always finish last. I meet this guy once—nice looking, decent job. He opened doors, complimented my appearance and checked in on me periodically throughout the day. Then one day he told me about his past. He said he used to hang in the streets, heading down the wrong [...]

Thursday, February 4, 2010
I always told myself that I would never fall in love with a man who has been divorced, let alone one with children. It’s too much of a hassle trying to perform for everyone and you are always left feeling like the “other woman”. You have to be extra nice to the child [...]

Wednesday, February 3, 2010
When we say we’re committed to someone what does that mean? For most of us, we believe that once we enter into a commitment, a promise is made that requires follow-through on an agreement between two people.
