I Want Her Genes...

(click on image to enlarge)

Beauty genes? Ask Dayanara Torres. If for a week I could have her genes I would do so much damage. I could own maybe a quarter of the world and be ha$$y ($=P, for those not so creative). She was in New York City for a press junket for My Network TV, who just signed her up for upcoming projects for the new network. You go Yari, as her dear friends and family call her.

Let me throw you some confessions of a make-up-artiste. She is looking more stunning than ever. Her skin is FLAWLESS, a make up artist's dream. Of course I asked her a few things, and she swears by a strict skin care routine. One idea I am going to steal from her is that while you are at home chilling, why not plaster yourself with your favorite moisturizer? Yep, who cares if you look like a Crisco ball, no one is watching and your skin will be drenching in good stuff. Good job Yari! I love the concept.

When I mentioned "stunning" in the last paragraph, I meant to make reference to more than just physical beauty. I sensed a more grounded Dayanara, focused, sure of herself, determined. Not that she has not been this way in the past, it's just I see more of it now. She seems to be "standing taller" and looking at the world from a power platform, and I know that doesn't come easy. It comes, and I say this from personal experience, from a lot of soul-searching, a lot of accepting of who you are, a lot of reality checks, and a lot of love for "me, myself and I". Don't know if this is her story, but where else can it come from? She looked absolutely GORGEOUS!

Well, and for Mom and Dad, thanks for the Beauty Genes.

I love 'ya' Yari.

Hi Karlo,
your awareness, has led to a new awareness... peace at this time of year is something special. . eventhough the whole of the world is trying it´s best to have us "lose it". . . buy, buy buy. . run, run, run. . . stress, stress... I´m trying NOT to take part of all of this madness...

hope you have a peaceful day. . full, but not over full... happy, but not so happy that you fear that tomorrow you may not be that happy anymore... unexpected smiles from people you never thought "could"... :-)

De Compras - Part Deux. Lo que no cupo en Magacín.

Foto: Ivonne Carlo Photography    !Hola a tod@s y feliz año 2013!  Les deseo paz, amor, éxito, abundante salud... y que seamos mas comprensivos, empáticos... para así entender que no todo cabe un una pagina web. Por eso aquí les dejo con las imágenes y enlaces que no cupieron en el  articulo original " De Compras " por Larissa Vázquez Zapata , editora de Magacín . Espero les guste esta extensión, que es todo lo que se lee en cursiva. Karlo Karlo, maquillista puertorriqueño residente en N.Y., comparte sus gustos. Mis lugares predilectos para hacer compras: 1. El mercado de pulgas de Brooklyn ( enlace en articulo original ) . No hay nada que me fascine más que la amalgama de lo nuevo y vintage; la idea es combinarlas, que se seduzcan, así se enaltecen respectivamente. Entre el regateo y el eye candy, uno de los mejores pasatiempos sabatinos. 2. Florencia, Italia. En The Mall, ubicado en Incisa, Val d'Arno  ( enlace en articulo original )...

Dry Skin No More... Two Of My Favorite Products...

(Above: Artist Pepe Villegas) Last night following my usual 'espiritista' Thursday meetings - as I lovingly call my spiritual posse gatherings, The Waking Circle - with some amazing guys, in Chelsea ;-), the subject of dry skin came up. And, of course, I gave my best advice for the Fall/Winter season already making our skin drier and itchy. Organic Coconut Oil RIGHT AFTER TAKING A SHOWER/BATH, while your skin is still damp, smother it with some * organic coconut oil . The coconut oil will sink into your skin right away unlike anything with artificial petroleum based oils. You neither be putting on any parabens or weird ingredients that may be absorbed through your skin making you more toxic. For the first fifteen minutes after application your olfactory receptors will take you to some exotic Caribbean destination. Not a bad idea for a body lotion that works as aroma-visualizing-therapy in the dread of winter. It won't interfere with any other colonias or fragrance that...
