Guilt

I promised I was going to share everything I learn 

Here is one of the things I learn in a telesummit last week :)

Also it said that if you feel guilty it can be that 

you either know that you shouldn't feel guilty 

and you have to remember that guilt doesn't help you at all 

or

that if you feel guilty is because you know you are doing something

you shouldn't and you know you have to stop. 

How To Get Rid Of All The Repeated Post On Google+

This is something I learn a little while ago and like I promised I was going to share...

Lately I've been visiting a lot of you on Google+ and I have noticed that on your profile there is a lot of repetitive pictures and posts of what you share in the different communities.

And I know this is bothersome.

The good news is that it can be fixed...

Do you want to know how?

I was messing around on Google+ a while ago and found out a way.

Here is how... (super easy, I promise)

First go to Google+
and where it says "Home"
put your mouse pointer over it
and click on "profile"
now go to view profile as: and click on "public"
(this is how everybody sees your Google+)
Now go back to "Profile" or "Home"
and in the drop down click on "settings"
scroll all the down to where it says "Profile"
and UNclick where it says: Show your Google+ communities posts on the Posts tab of your Google+ profile.

That's it! You are done!
It will save the setting by itself.

Let me know how that works for you.

I hope this helps some of you out there,

Take care,

WOYWW #294 My New Work Space

I don't know what got into me yesterday.

Since I am in the process of cleaning my work table,

after dinner I took my little pink bag that you see here

and empty it out

started taking all my different pencils, pens, markers,

some brushes and watercolors and put them in there

on top of a basket full of cooking magazines

(that I never get to lol)

and next to my BIG bag of books

that I try to read at night :)

As you can see I moved part of my work area 

to my bedside because...

I noticed at night when I am too tired to do anything

I just want to sit on my bed and either

draw, read, crochet (which I haven't done in a while) or write 

while my husband and daughter bond watching tv :)

There you have it

that's what I have

on my new night work space :)

Solving Overwhelm, One Step At A Time...

A little bit ago I wrote about how my head is just spinning with ideas and not knowing what to do, where to start, feeling overwhelmed.

I've been reading and listening to some people on the internet about how to be more productive and how to better use your time and I came to the conclusion that for now what's going to work for me is to clean, organize and prepare my work area to start doing what I like.

Meanwhile I am going to write down all the ideas that come to me head and work on them one at the time.

This is a drawing of my journal :)

I am trying to set a morning routine though for my 40 min that I have by myself in the morning and so far I have my Bible reading and some writing since I love to write for some reason :)

If somebody else was having a hard time like me, I hope this helps :)

DIY MakeUp Remover

A while ago I started browsing through some beauty recipes I have

from when I was in Cosmetology school

I am very fortunate that I did Cosmetology school in South America

(that's where I am from)

where we have more of a natural and holistic way of doing things

and I also did my Cosmetology school here in the States (Ohio)

where I learned a whole lot more that complemented my career as a Cosmetologist :)

I decided to make the Make Up Remover 

since it has the easiest things you can get at any store.

This recipe is super easy and 

I already tested on myself.

It works awesome 

and is not expensive at all.

All you need is:

A mason jar like the one I am using here

Round cotton pads

1 1/2 cups of water

2 Tbs of tear free baby shampoo

1/4 tsp of baby oil

If you don't have this last two ingredients and you don't want to buy them since you only use so little I would just ask somebody who has a baby to share a little bit of them with you ;)

Anyways...

Just mix the water, the baby shampoo and the oil together

put some of the mix in the mason jar (maybe 1/3 of the jar full)

then put some of the round pads on the mix.

Then do the same little by little until the jar is full,

that way all the pads get soak with the solution.

That's it!

Can you believe how easy is that?

I've been using it for a month already and I love it!

I hope this comes in handy for you :)

Please let me know if you make it :)

Step by Step Art Journal Page

Art Journaling is one of the things that just calls me for no reason

Even though I think there is a self healing reason

or a therapy involve during the process of making art.

Like always we start with a blank page

I decided to add a green watercolor to it

why? I really don't know is just what I felt like at that moment :)

Then I put some Faber Castell Gelatos that my daughter gave me for Christmas

and boy! I love them :)

I just put some random lines just like you see here, nothing to it 

Then, I spread the colors with my fingers

which I run through a baby wipe first for a little moist.

Once spread this is what it looks like

I added some arrows using a stencil

(that's what I am holding with my fingers there)

using a yellow gel pen

after that I decided to use an arrow stamp

using the same Faber Castell Gelatos

just by rubbing it n the stamp

spraying a little bit of water to it

before putting it on the paper

I saw that my corners looked a little naked to me

so I spread some more gelatos on the corner

with a wet brush ( the same that comes with the gelatos)

Again I decided to use a stamp

Now for the middle of the page

I took an old ripped children's book

and cut out what I liked

(recycle baby, recycle lol)

Arrenged it on the page how I liked it

Cut the excess if you want to

and doodle around the cut out :)

Now that still looked naked to me

so I stamped some words

and hearts all around using the same gelato technique

And there is my complete page again :)

I hope you like it

I hope you learned something new

Any suggestions just let me know

I am very open minded :)

Love,

#WOYWW #293

A watercolor craziness lol
