I have fallen in love with the Holiday catalogue for Henru Bendel New York.
When going to your on Going Holiday events like you have been.. think how cute this Handbag would look with your awesome dress.. and you hair done up all cute and you feel like the most fab chic in the room. I'm a bag girl... love Handbags! I hope you enjoy this one too!
It is suppose to be a time for happiness, cheerful moments, and creating memories. However, not all families go through these "happy times." For some its dreadful moments, avoidance of childhood memories, and ongoing regrets. And what I can tell you is this, It is what you make of it. Also, the following...
You can kick and scream, through a tantrum and act like you are five or six all over again, but what will that get you? Maybe being ignored, or hollered at and being told you are acting like a five or six year old.
You can scream, argue and throw things around. But that will only get you a broken vase/plates/brown windows. You can also hurt others including yourself.
You can make horrible food. But you have to sit down and eat it too...
You could even avoid the holidays in general, but you will miss out on what you can change and make better.
Like I said, Not everyone likes the holidays. Moreover, sometimes as an adult they may seem like a waste of time when you are busy making YOU happen.
BUT! Its not an everyday thing. They are the holidays. Which means, a vacation, from your everyday life to make more memories with the ones you love or in some cases choose to deal with.
Here are some tips to get through this Holiday season:
Communication
Use the Letter "I" (I think, I feel) you speak for you... You are the only one that knows your thinking. I'm pretty sure you cannot read someones mind. If you can good luck!
With out communication, you cannot express your self in a DECENT manner.
People prefer to hear communication in a calm voice more than violent acts or screaming.
Communication allows for you to release these "ghost" that have haunting you from a young age.
Self- Control
Making sure you are aware of your body...i.e. drinking. You can always communicate better when you have control of what you want to say.
Only you have self control of you, no one else. There isn't someone pulling your strings unless you let them.
Awareness
Being aware of what other are saying, hearing them and reciprocate without being violent.
Know that everyone is not in the same situation that you are in.
Follow up with your family; of the family circumstances.
Tell your family what is going on with you. I'm very sure they would like to know. Some families tend to be resentful of the wonderful things you are doing, include them into your life.
Be there.
Boundaries
Learn people's boundaries.
Inform your family members what your boundary is and WHY you choose to have that specific boundary.
Give them time to adjust and understand your choices.
Don't feel like you cannot say no, even if it gets someone mad. You need to take care of you... communicate about it. You can also say yes, you don't always have to say no. You get where I'm going with this?
Goals
Set a goal for yourself in this holiday season: To be happy.
Things happen and people come and go in your life, but what you remember best of them is what counts...because you can choose to be miserable or you can choose to be happy.It is your choice.
The following are Outfits I want to wear and tell you how a woman with curves wears them. :-) Lets see how this will go. I do have to say I enjoyed being able to see the curvy models on Micheal Kors. Good Job!
I asked myself this question as I volunteered at the Latina Style Business Conference at The Hyatt Century City Plaza this past Thursday.
I observed women of all sorts of life's paths: field, characters, attitudes, hopes, dreams, behaviors, thoughts and Styles. What I found out is that we are all different and all the same in our difference. What do I mean? We are women who want more from life, some, want more for self. Some, want more for others...and yes, some wanting more for both Us and others. Any aspect isn't bad.. it just is what it is.
Along with this simple observation. I also noticed two things, POWER and STYLE. Women getting together and making connections. You see, the power of a woman is more than her beauty. It is her emotions, thought and brain amongst many many other features. She is the entrepreneur, the singer, the artist, the mother, the fashionista, the SEO, The foodie, the CEO, the President, the chef, the cook, the homemaker, the political advocate... I can keep going! But I will not.
During the event:
We were greeted by our Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa. He spoke about greatness, being humble, and not forgetting where we come from...
We leaned how Verizon allows you to rub your business from the palm of your hand. The Speaker was Awesome and Lively!
Personally I love Verizon! Did you know you can now take a pic of people's business cards and they will be uploaded to your phone?
And Our Course of course! Stuffed Olive chicken. Carrots and Broccoli. Rice and A tomato. (It was a bit overdone). :-D
Host of Macy's Runway... from
Project Runway's Nick Verreos
I enjoyed the fashion and the Normal sized woman portrayed on the runway. Its a first that I've seen on a "normal" runway. Along with Radio Celebrities Yesi Ortiz (POWER 106) and Roxy (Latino 96.3)
Macy's gave us Fashion for the on the Go, stay at home, traveling businesswomen. Also, gifting us with a gift certificate at dinner.
You see... When a group of women come together... Anything is possible. When ONE puts something to mind, anything is possible. This is what I gravitated from this conference along with the information taught, which was easy to understand. Moreover, what I was reminded was what I've love to continue learning ...
That "Love [of what we do] is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows [us] to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style." Maya Angelou
I hope you attend next years business conference.
Oh and did I mention I won a United States Postage in a raffle? It was fun! I highly enjoyed myself. Made awesome connections with women and some men that like to empower women.
Continue to do greatness in this world you human you.
I have been to plenty of events... and I finally found an event that give out Awesome Styling, everyday living Goodie Bags. How stylish of them right? These are the ones i tired from The Los Angles Latina Blogger Luncheon.
Here is what I tried on and will write about:
I Love make-up! It awesome and adding shades on m eyes always make them look awesome. Wet and Wild did me right this time around.
