Happy Belated Presidents’ Day 🇺🇸
Lately, I’ve been into sleeved (long- or 3/4-sleeved) mini dresses during this mid-season.
First, my sister started me out with this piece from the Altuzarra
Then I gathered more garments from A’GACI †CHRISTmas† ♥Valentine’s ♥ .
My Ash Wednesday ensemble when I proclaimed the readings at evening Mass: IN San Francisco lavender 3/4-sleeved mini dress with ruffled v-neck & tan trim ivory braided skinny belt {thanks to María’s †CHRISTmas† gift card from Dillard’s } * Corral 2-toned cowboy boots * Nicole by O•P•I Kardashian KolorBack to Reality TV (lavender) as main shade & Follow Me on Glitter (black sparkle for ashes) as accent hue
Most recently, I wore this when I proclaimed the readings at Ash Wednesday †Mass†
†
I did a diagonal side braid to float across the crown.
♥
I’m wearing these beautiful pieces ~ sceptre Rosary & Saint Benedict Easygoing Evie

To top off my jewelry, I also went rose gold ♥Valentine’s♥ giftI ♥LOVE♥ †JESUS† braceletMommy Aya

Happy 106th Birthday, LOLO TICO
Bold Gold as the accent nail
Last Saturday, when I got ready for the ♥Valentine’s♥ dinner dance productive by hitting the park to dry my nails during a fun run & quickie workout
Many Shades of Pink
followed by a study session at Starbucks , + ♥Adoration♥ at the †Chapel† and Vigil †Mass† before spending the evening at the Country Club!
Walking uphill in these platforms is a workout in itself! No pole or 18 hole!
LMFAO ‘s ♪Party Rock Anthem ♫ & ♫Sexy & I Know It ♪ come to my mind!
¿Tienes agua? My campaign for H2O + my attempt for this DISPO @ the Baby Grand Piano to pull a Cassey Ho
Despite insoles to alleviate the platform pain, I must admit that I suffered through shuffling (i.e., ♫Cupid Shuffle ♪) + salsa y bailando en general
Taking a break from dancing & photographing … Here’s how I did my hair (when it held up): I kept it braid ed all day ’til I got ready, then separated into 2 sections ~ tease d the top & put into a braid to wrap around the bottom, which I curl ed.

Happy Belated Dr. MLK Jr.
Tomorrow, my spring semester starts for the speech class that I teach. For the week and-a-half prior, I had my simple spa days :
Mo’ Cornrow Main (tenance) for my Mane : Annie bandanas & scarves !
S is for … ☼S unday ☼ S kin Care/Face Mask S elfieS uperbowl-bound ~ until my *DALLAS COWBOYS * were defeated
got my massage from Lisa
gave myself a mani -pedi
* Another acne treatment:
Toothpaste !
Both mi comadre y mi amigo suggested this skin care mode for me ~ so I noticed the effectiveness when I spot-treat! When I compared ingredients between my tooth paste and my astringent, it made sense:
Benzoic Acid !
Well, we all need to make time out of our busy schedules to take care of ourselves! In the midst of serving my Church , working on my dissertation , teaching and tutoring, photographing , I must be mindful of my own maintenance in order to keep up my mood and momentum plus stay effective.
CHEERS to ♣Spring♣ 2015 !

While I do my best to pack light and stay somewhat low maintenance while traveling, I admit that I must maintain a grain of vain!
Therefore, during my EP trip
Also, I visited A’GACI at Ft. Bliss …
… and ended up with this!
My friend and I represented her husband’s UTEP school colors ~ orange and blue ~ and she got this cute hair-do too!
Check out how to have bow braids like hers here: How to Create a Diagonal Bow Braid tutorial

As if?
Remember the almost two decade-old flick, Clueless , where the main characters makeover their teacher ?
Well, two of my superstar students revamped my look in class today! They schooled us on braiding and eye makeup for their demonstration speeches.
Starting off with a French Braid at the crown …
First, I got my hair did.
Wrapping it up with a Waterfall Braid on the side!
Then, my face!
My students’ makeup by Sephora + my mascara & lipstick by M•A•C
As Van Halen sings …
Glam & Glitz ~ ♪ready for a Ballroom Blitz ♫!

& I look forward to my senior drum major student doing my nails in ombré style with school colors mañana!

I had a beautiful hair day on this Sunday fun day ~ well, more like this whole weekend, actually!
First, I started with braiding my hair and pinning it up. Like my new Coach Gabrielle glasses?
[Dress by Peter Pilotto-Target Collaboration]
Then, when I went to church this morning, I took my hair down… & voila! Bouncy curls is where it’s @ (spritz mane w/holding spray or volumizing mousse, if desired).
[Top by Prabal Gurung for Target ]
Now I know that this isn’t a brand-spankin’ new hair tip, but I just wanted to share 1 way of how a great hair day can lead into the next bombshell hair day =D
