Living Life

 Hello Everyone!

It's been a while, I hope everyone has been well and keeping safe as we go back to "normalcy".  I've been ok as usual there are good days and there are bad sad dark days.  I allow myself to feel and release but never forgetting to get back up and LIVE because...

Good-bye August and hello September!  I can't wait for chilly Fall weather - my favorite time of year - YAY!  For August I kept things pretty simple and 

GOOD NYC DAYS

What a gorgeous weekend we had.  I hope every one of you had a blessed one – I definitely did.  I’m trying to make the best of my days, before the cold arrives.  Saturday I had a dentist appointment, I hate the dentist but we all know how important it is so I’m in there every 3 months for my deep cleanings.  Oh I had

 Blessings to all!  

I'm still not feeling 100% - CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!  Tomorrow I have an appointment so hopefully they have answers and a solution to helping me feel "normal" again.  Not much of an update on my end.  The pictures above are from my nephews baptism - my 5th god-child.  God didn't give me my own babies but he blessed me with plenty of nieces and nephews whom I adore to death.  I wish I had more of an update but I honestly just been too sick to do much.  The house continues to come along, we're super proud with the progress.  I keep saying I'm going to post pictures and haven't  BUT I will - I PROMISE! 

TIP:  Never EVER let just anyone cut your hair.  Several months back I went to the salon I've been going to for years and my girl, my hair dresser was on vacation but I was in desperate need of a hair cut and so I allowed someone I've never been too to cut it.  BIG MISTAKE!!!  This lady cut my hair unevenly, I mean she started my bang in the middle of my head.  Now I'm going to a new salon since my move and we're trying to fix this hair and fixing entails cutting layers and trimming every so often.  In the meantime I like my "new" hair cut.  Only con as of now is that some parts are really short and its hard for me to do my every day bun.  Pro is I'm forced to do my hair lol.          

End Of Summer

Happy September!!  Who else is excited about Fall?

Last week was hectic for me, work was a little crazy but I'm happy I survived.  It was one of those weeks where every single morning I contemplated on calling out - I didn't tho.  On top of the craziness I wasn't feeling well both mentally and physically.  I have so much to do and its not getting done.  Ugh!!    

On another note I changed my social medias name to reflect this blog.  I used Sasse142 for so many years, I thought about it long and hard and decided Sasse142 isn't who I am anymore.  I came up with that name while sitting on the toilet ha ha.  I needed an AOL screen name and that's what I came up with, Sass E (e for Erika) 142 (the street I lived on).  I haven't lived on that street in over 22 yrs!  I changed everything to (or tried at least) NYCLifeandGlam.  After doing so it felt right, it was meant to be - I'm happy.

So, if you noticed from my pictures I beautified myself for my sister's birthday dinner. Dinner with a burlesque show and it was fun, I loved it, I mean who doesn't love a good Burlesque show, so classy.  It's been a while since I put on lashes or a full face of makeup for that matter.  The lashes made this simple look a bit more dramatic!  I swear if I had the time to put lashes on every day I would!  I love the way they make my eyes look not to mention I feel sexy.  I took the time to use some new FENTY BEAUTY items I bought a while back.  Huge rave for the Killawatt highlighter tho, I used it on my lids and it gave me the perfect amount of glitter 2 thumbs up for sure.  I'm loving Fenty Beauty products so far!  I will list all products below.

I apologize for the poor quality photos.  They were taken with my {very} old iphone.  I had no intentions whatsoever to have a "photo shoot".  The night was perfect and I just decided to go for it.
