12/12- happy heavenly , it would be our 7 , wedding anniversary ❤️ , on that day I married the love of my life, my best friend, my twin flame , my everything !
12/12 marks 23 years of being together , meeting about 27 years ago . 12/12 always a magical portal 💫
We didn’t celebrate last year, because Ron was already sick & on 12/13 /2024 he went to the hospital for the last time, and my life changed forever, didn’t know it at that time, but he never came back to us .
In few days I will honor 11 months of you being gone from physical body , and I’m so grateful for every sign you give me that you’re here with me at all times .
Im grateful for every moment we spent together in all the decades , till death do us part , Forever I Do ❤️
It is said that once “Twin Flames “ begin relationship , they stay together for eternity, even their spirits stay together when that’s all that’s left. Twin flames are perfect mirrors, real relationships characterized by twin flames tend to be on again off again, intensely passionate, and sometimes even intensely painful.
A “Twin Soul “ is a person who you are destined to connect with, physically , emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

I have no words today , just Brandi Caroline

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true...I was made for you

thank you for giving me the best memory of my life ❤️

The holiday season is here , it’s the perfect time to elevate your makeup game for festive gatherings and celebrations.
I get so many questions asking for a simple way to upgrade daytime make up to going out Makeup 💃
Whether you’re preparing for a daytime Holiday brunch or a glamorous evening event, here are some simple tips to help you achieve the perfect look for both occasions.

1. Daytime: Keep your eye makeup soft with neutral, eyeshadows ( soft shimmer is great ) and a light coat of mascara , brown eyeliner .
1. Transition: To transform your look for the evening, add deeper shades to the crease and outer corners of your eyes. Consider incorporating a black eyeliner or even a liquid , to create drama. A couple of layers of volumizing mascara or the addition of false lashes can further enhance the impact. ( first look 420 , second look added 421 )
2. Intensify Your Lips:
2. Daytime: Opt for a tinted lip balm or a sheer lipstick for a natural finish.
2. Transition: Switch to a bolder lip color, such as a classic red or a rich berry shade, to make a statement. A lip liner will help define your shape and ensure longevity throughout the night.
3. Adjust Your Blush and Highlighter:
3. Daytime: Use a soft blush for a natural flush and a subtle highlighter for a glow.
3. Transition: Transition to a more vibrant blush to add depth and color to your cheeks. Intensify your highlighter on the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose, to achieve a radiant evening look.
4. Set Your Look in both with

Both looks on are very festive , 💄💃🎄✨

Giving Tuesday: A Day for Kindness and Generosity
Today is a day dedicated to extra generosity, and my passion for helping both animals and humans shines through, especially on this .
Over the past year and a half, I have experienced the profound loss of both of my beloved huskies, who were both rescues and lived to be 13 and 14 years old.
Sonja, my first husky, inspired me to learn more about the breed, the importance of adoption, and the impact of fostering and working with various shelters. She inspired me to help as much as I can to make a difference in animal welfare.
In honor of Sonja and Luna, I am choosing to give back to , an organization close to my heart that fostered Luna until she found her forever home with our family.
Huskies are known to be stubborn and require significant attention, physical stimulation, and medical care. Unfortunately, this often makes them one of the breeds most difficult to place in new homes, especially when families face changes in their living situations.
Animal welfare is a pressing issue, and we are currently in a crisis. Shelters are overwhelmed with the number of animals being admitted, and food pantries for pets are struggling to keep up with demand.
If you are able, I kindly ask you to consider donating to Forever Husky ,
Every little bit helps. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this message and raising awareness about animal welfare is equally important.

Let’s come together today and every day to support our furry friends in need, in honor of Sonja and Luna
❤️🐺🐺❤️ , because I miss my girls tremendously 😔

✨ About last night 🖤
I treated myself to the most perfect solo date: a journey through memory lane that was absolutely glorious! l and the “A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness,” breathtaking orchestral and operatic interpretation of The Smashing Pumpkins’ iconic 1995 double album left us utterly speechless!
The beauty and magic of the evening still have me smiling. From the stunning visuals to the heartfelt homage to our beloved Chicago, every element— orchestra , Billy , choir interpretations of each song—transformed the album into an awe-inspiring experience. It was as though the music was brought to life in an entirely new dimension, captivating the audience to the point of breathlessness.
The fusion of rock and opera was nothing short of brilliant, and we were all there to embrace it & “Bullet with Butterfly Wings ” in opera version stole my heart forever 🖤
The exquisite wardrobe designed by and her father made everything even more magical, the way the gowns glistened on the stage was unforgettable 💫
On a personal note, I’ve made a commitment to seek out more art and experiences that ignite my passion. Art and music bring me so much happiness, and I am profoundly grateful for the magic I encountered last night , thank you 🫶🏻🖤🫶🏻
I also dressed for occasion 🖤

From me to you, Thank You 🙏🏻
Practicing gratitude is a daily part of my life, no matter what storms may come my way. But today, I want to send an extra dose of appreciation to each of you—whether we know each other personally or just online. You truly brighten my days!
This holiday season will be different for me, but I’m embracing it with an open heart and mind as I cherish moments with my family and my new grandson. And I hope you all find glimmers of happiness, even in challenging times.
To my amazing clients and colleagues, I am incredibly grateful for this year. Your support inspires me to grow in my career and keeps me motivated, and I can’t thank you enough for keeping me busy amidst my life’s challenges.
To my friends who have stood by me through thick and thin—you know who you are. I say thank you every day, and today is no different. I love you all.
Remember, holidays can be tough, whether you’re surrounded by family or spending time alone. You are never truly alone; we’re all navigating our own journeys together. Sending love to each and every one of you. ❤️
Wishing you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving!
With gratitude Aga
