Autism Talk on Beauty Blog

Hey guys!

I am trying to gauge your reaction to me introducing a new topic on my blog instead of creating a whole separate blog for it. My son Dean was just diagnosed with disabling autism. Yes, my son isn’t even 2 and is mentally disabled. It’s tough and emotional and I want to take you guys on this journey with me. I just want to make sure that this is okay to mix in with my beauty stuff. I know that this is my blog and all, but I don’t want to turn my followers away. Don’t worry! There will still be PLENTY of beauty posts to keep you going through the week, but I thought once or twice a week, I can write about my journey dealing with my son’s autism. The first post I have planned will be about the day that I found out, which was this past Monday. Depending on your response, I could do posts on any topic of autism you guys want. Feel free to give me ideas about what topics to post about like when I first thought he had it and dealing with tantrums. Whatever you guys want. Let me know that you would be fine with this new content change. Like this post and/or post a comment to show your support. My man bean man Dean thanks you. 🙂

Dean

Thank you for reading as always.

With Love,

Selena

My Current Status

Heya Aspiring Gurus!

I am feeling off today, so instead of an unboxing, I will share with you the current song that I can relate to about my ex-fiancĂ©. Yep, I’ve been through them all. The songs that make me cry and the revenge songs. I had to take off some songs on my Ipod, because they were making me cry at work. But this is the song that I can relate to the most right now and yes, this song does make me cry.

Tomorrow by Chris Young

Tomorrow I’m gonna leave here
I’m gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would
And tomorrow, I’m gonna listen
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we’re no good

[Chorus:]
But tonight I’m gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We’re like fire and gasoline
I’m no good for you
You’re no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I’m gonna love you like there’s no tomorrow

Tomorrow I’ll be stronger
I’m not gonna break down and call you up when my heart cries out for you
And tomorrow, you won’t believe it,
But when I pass your house,
I won’t stop no matter how bad I want to

[Chorus:]
But tonight I’m gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We’re like fire and gasoline
I’m no good for you
You’re no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I’m gonna love you like there’s no tomorrow

Baby when we’re good, you know we’re great
But there’s too much bad for us to think that there’s anything worth trying to save

[Chorus:]
But tonight I’m gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We’re like fire and gasoline
I’m no good for you
You’re no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I’m gonna love you like there’s no tomorrow

Tomorrow, I’m gonna leave here
I’m gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would

Yes, I just teared up a bit reading the lyrics. I love the music video that goes along with this song as well. Anyone going through the slumps of a breakup even though it was 6 months ago or so?

With Love,

Selena

TMI Tag

Heya Aspiring Gurus!

It is now day 34 of my blogging for Lent event. I was tagged to do this by Alice over on Strange Made Me. So, without further ado, let’s get to know me.

The Questions:

1. What are you wearing?

I am wearing my Kermit tee shirt Fashion and a pair of dark wash blue jeans with purple socks with pink hearts on them that my friend Lisa from Kmart bought me for this past Christmas.

2.  Ever been in love?

Yes, I have and I am. I am still in love with the first person I ever loved. We did take a break Junior year and I went out with someone else. I was more hurt  than in love with that guy. I wasn’t ready for my old relationship to be over. Then, John and I got back together and the rest is history. We still have a bit of rocky history though.

3. Ever had a terrible breakup?

Junior year, when John decided that he wanted to break up because he was going away to Harvard. He thought that I was too young for him and that people would make fun of him for it. That breakup hurt and lasted for about a year until he decided that he wasn’t quite ready to give up on love.

4. How tall are you?

I am roughly 5’4″, but I am actually 5’3″ and 3/4. I get shorter every time I go for my yearly visit. Last year, I measured up at only 5’3″.

5. How much do you weigh?

I weight anywhere nears 100 to 130. My weight fluctuates a lot. I’m not ready to say why yet. My “ideal” weight is 120.

6. Any tattoos?

No, I really want a small heart on my hand though. My dad said he would kill me though, so there is that…

7. Any piercings?

I have my ears pierced and my cartridge on my right ear. I used to have a nose stud, but my dad freaked and made me let the whole close up. That was one too many piercings for him.

8. OTP?

What is opt? [googles] Oh, ummmm…… Zac and Vanessa. I loved them together! But also, Emmett and Bay, too.

9. Favorite show?

I can only choose one? Pretty Little Liars, Chasing Life, Switched @ Birth, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries…..So many!
