Oi Gentes,

Well, you read the title correct. I am moving. Do you see the gray skies in the back ground? This is a normal occurrence where I currently reside. It can get quite daunting at times. So much so that I relented and purchased a rather chic and unique rain coat with a cute hoody the color of my Mulberry Bayswater in Foggy Gray. I am not wearing it in this picture, as a matter a fact I’ve only worn it twice and since then the rain was really a bit much. It did work though! I was rather surprise at how well my new rain coat repelled water.

I figure I’ll keep it along with me once I move since it is the most chic rain coat I’ve ever seen around this here parts

I’ll hopefully insert a photo soon.

Anyways, yes, long intro, but I am moving. This move has been in the background for about half of last year up to this very month. I did not want to talk about it with you all until I knew for sure that we would move. This month I got the final confirmation that yes! We are moving.

Where? Let’s just say even if it rained, I would still think that this new place will be romantic in the rain. I don’t really want to say where exactly until I set my feet on said mystery location. Call me superstitious, I’m more of an action person and less of a talker person.

So, yes, I am in the process of reconciling all of our household things as well as, separating out clothing, shoes, and accessories that will not go with. Plus more of course, my husband’s wardrobe is meager compared to mine, so that chore would be light.

Really, the only large and time consuming tasks would be clearing out our flat and my things.

I figured it should take me one week for my things and another week for our flat.

I already started working on separating my wardrobe from the keep and the giveaway pile.

So, if you are curious about what are the things I am doing. I will create a sort a, blog post series on our latest adventure!

Beso,

Odeliza

Oi Gentes,

Well, this past week has been an up and down-high and low for both my personal self and the weather. First it’s sunny and then it hails, then to end the bizarre weather it snows! I so want to tote around my beautiful Proenza Schouler’s messenger bags and my new Mulberry’s and Balenciaga’s, but how could I?

I would rather get wet than have any of my precious babies spotted with water!

So, that aside, I am just so tired of this weather. If you’ve followed my blog since the late 90′s you’d know that this type of dark dreary weather gets to my head a bit. I was raised in tropical climates or sunnier weather. Having traveled and lived in areas of the globe where the reprieve from the dark days is rare and limited in time is becoming to be a bit of a bother for me. Granted I do have a little luxury in that, my other half says we could move some where sunnier.

Of course who wouldn’t want to live in Bali? But after awhile I start to want to work on my career as a makeup artist and licensed aesthetician, plus other things I enjoy to do that I can’t quite do if I were to live like a tourist in Bali.

So what has been my solution these past few weeks, I mean, MONTHS? First it was to work out more, it was going along so well until my laptop decided to die on me forever. Now I get in a work out here and there by taking the stairs instead of the elevator and by walking a bit more when I can. Second, I try to think happy thoughts and look forward to what is ahead. I have some really interesting things that could be happening to me in the near future that I can’t wait to share with you all, but for now, I have to wait myself.

Then there is shopping online. Which is not something I do often, but it does help cheer me up.

Then there is my makeup artistry work, which is slow at the moment, so I try to work on ideas and get inspired by future trends.

My Beauty Blog, which I am trying to slowly create a bit more interesting and more up to date posts.

My Beauty Channel, which I try to create new content once a week.

So, I’ve tried to keep myself busy while the weather traps me in doors.

I just can’t wait for any glimpse of Spring to come along so I can start to feel human again instead of a hibernating bear.

I hope you found my post maybe amusing if you have not done so, have a look at my beauty channel (Odeliza’s Beauty Channel) and please show your support by subscribing it means the world to me You can also follow me on Twitter by clicking here (Odeliza’s Twitter)

Oi!

Well maybe I should say, no new makeup purchasing for the month of March 2012. I thought the No Makeup in March 2012 title was a bit more interesting sounding. Anyways, yes, this is my first ever attempt at not purchasing makeup for a whole month. Granted, skin care does not count in my opinion, because it is more of a large buy that should sustain me for at least a few months. Where as makeup is more of an addition to my collection and to keep up with the latest trends in color, texture, and quality.

So, why did I do this to myself? If you are anything like me, you may enjoy the feeling of chasing down limited edition collections and then finally getting your pretty hands on them. Then off to the next limited edition collection to buy and then slightly forget about your most recent buy.

Yes, guilty, that is I. So, this is why I will attempt to not buy any makeup for this month, March 2012. I really want to get to know my ever growing fabulous collection of makeup products. Not only for my own personal use, but for my work as a makeup artist. When I go on set, I like to stick with products I know and trust, but there are so many options out there for me that I seem to shy away from branching off.

Really, that was the original idea for adding to my collection in the first place. To branch off! Try new and interesting things! So, with my new and interesting products I will make a daily attempt to sketch out looks for various aspects that require my touch, from working with my favorite Brazilian models in Rio and SP, to a few actress friends in BA, Argentina and to my gal pals on my beauty channel. My goal is to try to introduce fresh and simple ways to re-create some of my makeup art.

Boa Sorte to me neh?
