“If I put on expensive makeup, maybe I won’t cry it off 😭🤣”

2️⃣ things before I go into my most favorite US makeup products.

1. The best makeup brand that I have EVER USED is called HEALTH. Your skin is a direct representation of how healthy you are on the inside. If you want a natural glow, you need to be hydrated, micro-nutrientated and sleepafied (those words come from Maria’s urban dictionary).

2. No matter how expensive your makeup is, you will still look/feel uglier and a pretty gremlin during your late luteal phase. Sorry, no way around that. Shifting progesterone and estrogen makes your face look bloated, more oily, congested, and texturized…whether it’s an underground volcano waiting to break through or an already active one.

That being said. You are still beautiful and show yourself grace. Your glowing, beautiful, smooth skin is just 7 to 10 days away.

I’ve been making do in Italy with very minimal makeup products. I have since been reunited with Ulta and Sephora and have listed my all-time favorite products ⬇️

💄Foundation: NARS Cosmetics natural radiant longwear foundation. Shade: “Stromboli”.

💄Blush and eye crease contour: ILIA multi–stick. Shade: “Dreamer”.

💄Cheek and eye-lid highlight: Benefit Cosmetics US Shade: “Tickle”.

💄Liquid Eyeliner: Stila Cosmetics Stay-all-day waterproof liquid eyeliner. Shade: Dark brown.
I recently switched to brown for my mascara and liner because it helps bring out the green in my hazel eyes.

💄Mascara: Too Faced Cosmetics ribbon wrapped lash. There is no shade on the tube and this is a new mascara for me. If you have other brown mascara that you love LMK.

💄Lip combo: Sephora 8-hour colorful transfer-proof lip liner. Shade: “Crushed Raspberry” X Benefit Cosmetics US flora tint.
I’m not sure if that is the name of the product or the shade.

Also, to be very honest, this lip color is a little bit berrier I like to do. My all-time favorite lip liner is the same brand in the shade “cinnamon brown”

💄Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow pomade. Shade: “Choccolate”

For my girlies out there, are there any new makeup products that have come out r

On Monday, I lost my baby girl. My soul dog, my best friend, my travel partner, my roommate, my sister, my mom, grandma, my other half.

Words cannot describe the physical and mental agony I’m experiencing right now knowing that I have to live the rest of my life without her 💔. This is the most pain I have ever experienced.

I got Chloe when I was 19. We grew up together. We traveled together and she was by my side (literally in a dog purse) or at my feet 24/7.

She was loved by everyone she met.
She was famous at airports.
She brought a smile to every face that saw her.
She was a princess and a queen and a diva.
She was also the snuggliest girl and just wanted to sit on your lap.
She was a fan of only toys that resembled elephants.
She was the cutest most adorable dog that I have ever seen.

Life without her feels less colorful. It feels like everything that I do is at 65%. She was my heat during the night. My source of comfort in public settings.

I didn’t realize how much I reached for her every day until I couldn’t reach for her anymore. She was the only consistent partner I’ve had in my entire life.

At the end, it was her kidneys that took her out, along with arthritis, cataracts, and hearing loss. She went into kidney failure Saturday night and stopped eating. Anti-nausea medications didn’t help. She was falling over, trembling, and coughing. I had to make the choice of putting her to rest 🪽🌈 because I didn’t want her to be suffering anymore. I really did think that I’d have her until 18. 😭

I’m choosing to believe that she stayed as long as she could. That she held on until I met my new life partner, because she wanted to meet him herself before she passed the baton to him 👩‍❤️‍👨. And that she held on for my niece, who is about to be born 🤰.She waited until she knew I would be taken care of.

I’m absolutely devastated, heartbroken, weak, and unstable.

Thank you to my online and in person communities. You all really showed up and held me when I needed it. 🫂 It really does help to hear that you’ve lost like me and been able to heal. ❤️‍🩹

If you have any pictures or videos of her, I’d love to

California. You were so good to me. I love that you were a chapter in my book and I hope that you are in many more because you give me MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY.  Thank you for the friends who provided a roof over my head, a vehicle to move around, and love that filled my cup.
Thank you…
For Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods
For the ability to Nutrient-Max in Malibu
For the spa dance movie night
For all the pets
For the cute little mom and pop stores
For the girlie human connection I’d been missing for months
For friends that push me to think outside of my own limiting beliefs
For the brutal Lagree class I did not want to go to
For holding all of my belongings (for now…I’ll be moving all my things soon)
For the perfect temperature
And really THE I-WORKED-REALLY-HARD-TO-MAKE-IT-OUT-HERE inspiring energy that is everywhere

I love my new life in Italy AND I miss my California life too. Both can be true.   To the friends I did not see, I’m sorry. It was a short trip to sell a few things and now I’m headed back to the Midwest bc my sister is about to pop out my niece. I’ll be back again during the winter.

Taking off 🛫 for THE OZARKS! Toodaloo!

When your love language is nutrient-maxxing with your besties 🤤🤤

(very important question at the end that may affect you in the future)

One of my favorite actives is cooking for my friends 🥹.

There is just something about transferring energy into a meal that nourishes their body that completely satisfies me. 😍

Healthy food does not have to taste boring. I promise if you just practice and do a little research, you look forward to eating food that makes you feel good.

❓I know that a lot of you have no idea where to start nor do you have the time… so I was thinking… Since this is what I love, and this is what you need, would anyone be interested in having a weekend with me where I teach you everything in person❓

Like a stay at home retreat.

How to track macros
How to cook food/meal prep
How to put your plate together for your goals
How to get over gym intimidation
How to create a slapping morning and evening routine

I would come to you and do this all within your home.

It’s just something that I’ve been thinking about and wanted to see how if there is even a need for it.

COMMENT “YES” below if a weekend VIP, hang sesh would be helpful. Hugs

Ps: if knowing what’s on my plate and how each ingredient here nourishes your body, I’m happy to do a follow up post about how I eat for maximum energy. COMMENT “Part 2” for that!

American food gets dragged online, and this is the part it actually gets right.

I landed last week, went straight to Hy-Vee, and I was way too excited about turkey bacon ( have been talking about my first bite of turkey bacon for two weeks now ) 🤪

The US is years ahead on making healthy food both fast and good. Italy is catching on, 100%, and the raw ingredients there are cleaner than most of what I can buy here. But when I’m in a caloric deficit and running a business, the deciding factor is how many minutes stand between me and 30g of protein.

Look at what almost everything in this cart has in common. I don’t have to cook it.

Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg white wraps, canned beans, the rice pouch. Open it, eat it, done. Most of the women I work with aren’t under-eating on purpose.

They run out of energy before they run out of day. The last thing they want to do is spend 20 minutes thinking about what’s healthy for dinner, and then 40 minutes cooking it. 🫠

And all of it actually tastes good, which matters more than people admit. The 2% yogurt instead of the 0% because it’s creamier. A gluten-free loaf that tastes like real bread. Protein powder in cake batter, with an ingredient list I can actually read. You don’t stick with food that taste MEH 🫤 .

The rest is fiber. Broccoli, cauliflower, beans, avocado. The cruciferous ones help my body clear out extra estrogen, and all of it keeps things moving 💩 , which nobody wants to talk about and everybody needs.

Nothing here is sponsored. I just picked up what I needed and picked the best brands!

Save this for your next reset shop.

A pair of pants started this. That’s the whole origin story.

The better reasons came later…Avoiding breast cancer and dementia, becoming a mom and grandma that can chase her kids around…

None of that was on my mind at 25. I just wanted my pants to button.

You don’t need the BIG reason to start. Mine showed up after.

What was your Thanksgiving pants moment? ⬇️

My second or third week check in photos back in winter 2015/2016

25 years old, nearly divorced, partying my balls off, eating, drinking, vacationing, and drowning out of my feelings. I was so puffy and inflamed. I remember thinking that I could wear this shirt because it was big enough that it would allow for me to be able to relax my belly without people seeing.

My very first DAY 1 photo!

Take the picture babe. I know it’s scary, but you’re going to want them later!

My family told me that the extra fat around my hips was genetics. I used to call it a spare tire. It turns out that my family didn’t pass down bad genes… They passed down bad eating habits and poor coping skills.

Taken during my most recent trip to Mykonos.

If 10 years ago Maria could have seen a picture of Maria today, she would’ve said “no fu***ng way!! I truly believed that it wasn’t attainable” 🥹
