The lupus walk in NYC

I was recently diagnosed with lupus this year and I decided to do my first lupus walk . It has been a very stressful few months since being diagnosed with this horrible disease but I try to stay positive and stay doing what I love to do skincare and make-up so I won't stress as much and think about this lupus disease.  I had a wonderful time with the friends that really came out and walked with me.  I look forward to walking again and hopefully have more people join my quest to help find a cure for this horrible disease

Goodies I picked up at Make-up Designory School in NYC

I attended a workshop at the Makeup Designory School in NYC  and had to pick up these eyeshadows in Moss and Spanish gold, deep brown corrector and cake eyeliner. The pigment on the eyeshadows are great, the deep brown corrector works wonders for dark circles. The cake eyeliner can be used either dry or wet.  I strongly recommend this products to makeup artist who hasn't tried out mud products and to women who love looking good and playing with makeup.

Embryolisse Skincare

I received these lovely samples of Embryolisse collection of skincare products.  I first learned about Embryolisse after attending a Make-up show and reading on make-up artist sights raving on how this is a must have in every makeup artist makeup kit. After purchasing the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré (designed for all skin types, great to remove makeup and fix up makeup mistakes without compromising the rest of your makeup )and experiencing how wonderful this magic cream is I was sold and I wanted to check out some of other products, and I am excited to try these samples I received so I can purchase other Embryolisse products. Just like every make-up artist has been raving and recommending this, I strongly recommend this cream even if your not a Make-up Artist it's absolutely wonderful.

Cirepil Waxes

At my school I learned how wonderful this wax is. We were trained to wax using these Cirepil Waxes and I have not used any other wax. I have no complaints from my clients when I perform wax services on them. Even first time waxing clients say it didn't hurt as bad as they thought it would.  I highly recommend this wax.

PMD microdremabrsion pro

I'm so excited to use my PMD microdremabrsion machine that I received today. As a Licensed Esthetician I was taught and trained on the benefits of microdremabrsion.  As we all know that purchasing microdremabrsion machine is expensive. So I came across PMD while I was browsing through a Spa Supply magazine and I decided to go ahead and try out. I love the fact that it is portable and light weight I can easily use this when performing facials at some of my clients home or when I host Skincare events. Can't wait to come back and give my opinion on it,and get the feedback from my clients and see the difference on the skin.

My favorite lip balm

Me pt1

My name is Diane Acevedo I am a Puerto Rican Mother, Grandmother and Business Woman. I am very professional, creative, passionate, ambitious, dedicated, determined business woman. I want to combine all my experience, knowledge, skills I have to brand my company and be able to make my mark in this world. I have a love, gift, talent, vision and Passion for Music, Fashion and Skincare. My passion for music began when I was just a little girl about seven or eight years old. Music was the only thing I had growing up as an unwanted only child, my childhood wasn’t the best. I got my first spanking on my 1st Birthday because I threw a Barbie off my balcony, I remember seeing the doll fall than getting whooped. From that day forward I knew I was in for a ride of my life with my parents and sure enough it was true. Soon after that I must’ve been like 2/3 years old my Dad had picked me up from my grandmother’s house, she had giving him an avocado as we were driving home I grabbed the avocado and took a bite out of it spitted and threw the avocado in my dad’s new car. I got my second whooping and ever since that day I’ve never eaten avocado and don’t eat it in no way for nothing, I got traumatized. I’ve seen, lived and been through some crazy things at home and in the neighborhood I grew up in. As a child being the only kid in the house wasn’t all glamorous, I wasn’t spoiled, I couldn’t get away with nothing, couldn’t blame no one it sucked. I was born as an unwanted child to some crazy ass parents who lived La vida loca. I ride or died with my parents all my childhood, I grew up way before my time I saw, I been and lived threw some crazy moments with my parents, it was shot out. that very few people can say they lived and experienced as a young child. Things were rough growing my parents couldn’t always get me everything I wanted and it didn’t help either that I was born a week before Christmas, so one year must’ve been 7/8 years old they asked me what was the one thing I’d want for both birthday and Christmas… I said a radio with cassette and some blank cassettes. I remembered that year vividly they took me to Wendy’s restaurant and gave me my first little boom box it was one of my most happiest moments I can remember with my parents, almost made up for what happened on my first birthday. Music was all I had growing up as an only child at that time, when the war was on at home. I used to go into my room and listen to the radio to escape what was going on the other side of that door. I used to listen to all stations, all music, many dee jay’s I remember when certain stations were on other stations. I just to sit there with my blank cassette tapes ready to record the live weekend mixes. I remember calling up the radio stations to give shout outs, requesting songs and call up for guest list for my mom’s ( she ain’t even know I was calling up and giving her name until she got the passes and phone bills). I remember when Hot 97 was on 103.5 and when they made switch Music has been with me throughout the bad times and good times in my life, it has taught me, helped me, encourage me I love all music, I’d always sit and close my eyes and try to see the artist vision to the song feel what they felt. I would love to produce and direct music videos I have a very creative vision of how to execute the video and make it a great one. I can create the video vision all the way to the very last second I have always envisioned music videos since I was young. Being that I was a young mother my desire of attending music school was not an option I needed to leave school to work and provide for my daughter. The passion, desire and dream of doing it is still there. I was blessed to obtain great jobs for a young person with no high school diploma. I always knew what work life was I used to go to work with my parents at a very young age. I had small tasks at their jobs, that taught me what responsibilities and work life I was going to be facing as an adult when I was a mere child. And I have used everything I learned since I was little.
