Love and Light

           I know I haven't been the best at this whole blog things, and I am beyond sorry for that! These past few weeks have been very difficult for me. I finished my first semester of graduate school with a 3.8 and couldn’t be happier, but things on the home front have been rocky. Even with me having all the knowledge of a lightworker I can’t seem to be able to balance work, school, taking care of myself and taking care of my sick mother  (as well as my older brother and father). My mother has been in and out of hospitals for about 6 months and it has only gotten harder. Not easier. It’s almost as if I’ve had to become a super grown up over night. I’ve even had a feeling something like this was going to happen, but that doesn’t change how hard this is.

            I’ve lived on my own and have only had to take care of myself for the longest time. Being at home the past few years while finishing my undergrad with a severe case of mono was easier than me taking care of everyone in my family, going to grad school and finding the time to take care of myself. Not to mention that I have the voice of a child despite the fact I am 24 years of age. So, when I call doctors for my mom, I usually get a very confused secretary on the other end wondering how on earth I am calling them in the middle of the afternoon when I should be in daycare. (no, I am not exaggerating, I literally sound like a child)

            But to get my mind off of things, I am going to throw myself back into things and start working again as well as beginning my summer session of graduate school.

            To kick things off, I will be offering free tarot readings to up to 10 people. So, if you would like one, e-mail me at lovelightandlipstick@gmail.com with your current situation, your question and what you wish to get out of the reading.

            Hope everyone is having a fantastic day full of Love, Light & Lipstick J

So as per usual I have taken on more than I can chew; like this fox for example.

Between Grad school, endless projects, my etsy shop and blog I have been having to put my blog on the back burner. I want my blog to be everything I have ever dreamed of. When I was tween who was boy band crazed over a British Band called McFLY I had the perfect hub for fans. Things were different back then an easier to figure out because all I had to worry about was high school and that was a breeze compared to this.

I have also been all over the place trying to pin point exactly what I would want to do with the rest of my life because the opportunities are endless! But, on the bright side, classes will be over by April 29th and then presentations will be over May 12th! I also have over 50 pieces of new jewelry to add to my etsy shop! I was planning on taking the pictures at the beach but every day I have off the weather is crappy so I have to improvise and I am working as fast as I can to get it all up and running because I couldn't be more grateful to have had the feed back I have gotten from my jewelry. I have been also doing many custom pieces for many people so if you find something made out of crystals, gem stones or semi precious stones feel free to send it my way and I'll make it full of love and light!

I have also been getting into Tarot more and more and want to hopefully offer tarot card readings through my etsy shop or website! I have been taking classes and will be reading more and more about it so I can feel more comfortable even though I was told I have a "gift" for it. Who knows, if people are interested maybe I do some free readings to get my feet wet!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Love, Light & Lipstick,

Time to Tone it Up!

I don’t know about you guys, but over the years I’ve had trouble with my weight. I reached a time in high school where I finally got control over it and had my best body ever! (Especially when at 20 I wound up with mono and could eat whatever and keep my banging body) But then one day I decided to go on birth control so I could prevent little versions of my ex and myself from coming out of my whoha.  

Let’s just say that decision has bitten my ass more than once because my hormones just got so out of control it’s almost impossible for me to keep any weight off unless I literally count every calorie I put into my mouth.

Well, those days are over. Now more crying my self to sleep or crying on boyfriends shoulder (who might I add lost so much weight and couldn’t be prouder!) I’m taking control over my health and decided to give the whole clean eating thing a shot! What’s going to help me along the way? The books by Cara Alwill Leyba : The Champagne Diet and Sparkle! They made me realize just how easy eating right can be! The other thing I discovered to help me is the two girls from Tone it Up! I was never able to watch the show but I recently downloaded the show on iTunes (highly recommend btw) and I went on their website and did a little research. After the research I have been sold! The Tone it Up lifestyle is going to be my new challenge and I’m going to be another one of their fabulous success stories!

So soon I will be a new owner of a red nutribullet and apart of the Tone it Up Diet Plan!!! Follow me on my journey and I'l share my favorite recipes and exercise!!!!

On the bright side, winter is almost over!!
