6 years and 5 months gone…

This past year has been life-changing for me. Because of it, I could not focus on anything but my child, therapy and two court cases. And I’ll get into that later on, however I lost six years and five months of my blog and now I’m starting over from March 2015. I am happy to erase this last chunk of my life, the only thing I appreciate is my beautiful four-year-old daughter. She will and always will be my number 1. I lost everything, I started over from underwear to furniture. I literally have everything new since August 5, 2020. The only thing I have from this past six years is my beautiful baby girl. And she is, and always will be, the most important thing over materialistic things. I have a lot to talk about. I’m currently in school; business marketing. I have completely changed and I have lost respect for a some people, but I will do nothing except pray for them. Here I am, starting over…and that’s ok. Because I have a beautiful baby girl who has changed my soul. I work hard for her and I will never allow anyone..or man.. change me ever again. I am a very strong woman who is a warrior and overcomer of mental health. I can tell you what it was like in the midst of all the chaos. I wrote a lot about the justice system. I wrote a lot about abuse & narcissism. I will continue to write, because I have a lot to say. I may have lived a successful life, but there was a dark side to me, that I am not ashamed of anymore. I’m 36 years old in 2 days, so two years of my past does NOT outweigh my success. I have a beautiful heart and nothing or no one will ever change that about me. Hence, why my darling baby girl has a beautiful personality..no one did that, but me. No one did anything for her except caused her trauma. She is just as strong and resilient as her mommy and she knows exactly what she wants, she knows good from bad and has a voice & will use it. She protects me & loves me as I do the same for her. And if anyone thinks differently, that’s all on you. Negativity is only going to deteriorate you. So, live a positive life and do things that make you happy. Because in the end, you will feel accomplished and confident in yourself and you will NEVER want to hurt people in the process. My book will be out soon..and believe me ☺️ it’ll be a best seller. Mark my words. Love always, Sassy Sally.

#PhysioRadiance product & machine #review! #QNET http://www.qnet.ae/

First of all, no judging! I am not tanned and I know I could use some color lately LOL

Anyways, I have been using this for about a week now and my skin has literally never been sooo amazing! i am overall thrilled and massively impressed. Even when I get a pimple, I use the blue light for acne and the next day it’s pretty much gone!

I am very happy to have this baby in my life and you should definitely look into purchasing it if you are concerned about having good skin.

In the past, I got a laser treatment done, I know it may not be the same effect, but to me, I really have noticed a difference in my appearance and I am confident to leave my home without showing any breakouts! It’s honestly revolutionary and I am so pleased that I highly recommend this machine, the products, too, 100%! It’s a 10/10 and I used this every day.

The lifting is my favorite part, because it actually feels like it’s working right on the spot. It tingles & tickles, but wow is it ever amazing!

#Review on @misslyncosmetic #misslyn #lifecosmetics #DubaiBeauty

New #cosmetics in #dubai! Yes I’m a #makeup addict deep, dark blue #mascara & #liquideyeliner with… You know I go crazy for this stuff: #eyebrow kit &#eyepencil – love love love it!

Fb.com/lifecosmeticsdxb

I am a sucker for makeup & cosmetics. I love testing out the next best thing and being in Dubai, I get introduced to makeup brands that I have never even heard before!

This mascara was a deep dark blue, perfect to add a glow to your eyes. It’s just a basic mascara, but I loved that it was blue. I don’t too many blue mascara’s and it’s always great to add a dash of color.

The liquid eyeliner is also nice, thin and easy to glide on. It does stay put, so that’s a bonus.

Lastly, these next two pieces I am just drooling over! I love anything to do with eyebrows, well mostly because I have always hated my brows (II recently grew them out, so they are doing much better now) and that’s where my 2 new brow products come in hand! I love this little kit for shadowing the brows and the highlighter is so pretty!

The eyebrow pencil is very light and great for a little hair color.

All in all I loved each product and I can’t wait to try out what else they have! You will receive a booklet with all their pieces in it, too! Check them out on FB by clicking here.

#Halloween in February! #PinkyParadise @PinkyParadise2u #Review for #PeoplesChoiceDiva #Award PeoplesChoiceDivaAward

 

It’s not Halloween yet, so why am I doing this? I did this for a portfolio for a friend and I wanted to use my latest contact lenses from Pinky Paradise some how!

I love wearing funktafied lenses, especially my PINK ones from PinkyParadise.com!
A few days back I was in a makeup portfolio and I had just the perfect lenses to go with it.

Pinky Paradise literally has such a large collection that you can literally find anything. If you need lenses for Halloween, every day use or just something fun – definitely try them out.

These particular lenses are for Halloween, unless you are a crazy enough to pull them off for an every day use. But, for me – Halloween is what it’s for. You also use these lenses for costume/theater use.

They are just so fun and so easy to use! To order these exact lenses, click here.

It comes with a super cute macaroon lens case and I got the pink – it’s too darn cute!

What do you think? Comment below your thoughts on this makeup artistry and if you like these lenses! They are kind of spooky, aren’t they?

 

 

 

I attended a #TruffleMakingClass at #TheMeatCo in #SoukMadinat #Dubai!

To celebrate Valentine’s Day 2015 I went to a Truffle Making Class! The perfect Valentine’s gift for my partner, because these chocolates were made with my own two hands!

I had a lot of fun in this class. Foodfund’s Global Pastry Chef, Melanie Smith, showed us how to create delicious and beautiful truffles  for Valentine’s.

#Review on #provocalips & #foundation by #rimmel #rimmelme #rimmellondonme #DubaiBeauty #MyDubai #Sharjah #SharjahBeauty

 

A girl can never have too much lipstick, right? Especially since we go through them like crazy. Most don’t stay on for long. #Provocalips does just that! With 16 hours of wear, we get to enjoy them a lot longer. #Rimmel is actually one of my favorite brands of lipstick. I think I may even have all their colors! Inexpensive and totally worth it!

This foundation is a medium coverage and will cover those tiny lil flaws for a finished look. If you want a foundation that lasts as long as you do throughout the day, then Rimmel is the choice! It lasts ’25 hours, 8 days out of the week’ like Iggy would say…Rimmel means “Impossible is Nothing”. This foundation gives a smooth lightweight coverage, which leaves your skin feeling hydrated all day long!!!

Love Rimmel, affordable is the key word here.
