TARA 101: SO RATHER THAN, TREAT THE LABEL, OF MY FAVORITE COLOR, PEACOCK TEAL BLUE LIKE, A FORTUNE COOKIE. I SEE THE NAME, AS A SIGNIFICANT, BLESSING IN DISGUISE. MAYBE A MESSAGE, FROM GOD, TO MAKE ME SMILE. ITS MORE THAN, JUST A NAME, TO IDENTIFY THE COLOR. PICTURED ABOVE, I HAVE MY BABY BLUE NAILS, HOLDING A NAILPOLISH BOTTLE, WITH THE LABEL, NAMED MOMENT. AND I REALLY STOPPED, FOR A SECOND, AND REALLY THOUGHT, IMMEDIATELY OF NICKI MINAJ’S PINK FRIDAY SONG, MOMENT 4 LIFE, AND HER NAILPOLISH OPI LINE. MY FAVORITE LINES, IN THE SONG MOMENT 4 LIFE: “I WISH THAT, I COULD HAVE, THIS MOMENT FOR LIFE, BECAUSE IN THIS MOMENT, I FEEL SO ALIVE, BUT TO LIVE, DOESN’T MEAN YOUR ALIVE. AND I ASK MYSELF, AM I IN THE PLACE, FOR SUCH A BIG MOMENT? THAT IS BIGGER THAN ME? DESTINED FOR A MOMENT FOR LIFE?

WE ALL ARE ALL HERE, FOR A REASON, A PURPOSE, IN GOD’S EYES, AND THE WAYS, OF WHY HE PLACES, US ON THIS EARTH. SO THAT WE HAVE MANY MEMORIES, AND FUTURE EXPECTATIONS, OF A TRUE MOMENT, FOR LIFE. ESPECIALLY, IF YOUR AT A POINT, IN TYOUR LIFE, WHERE YOU’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MUCH, YOU JUST WANT, ONE MOMENT, TO PUT YOU AT EASE, AND AT PEACE, FROM ALL YOUR WORRIES, FEARS, AND TROUBLES. THATS HOW I INTERPRET MOMENT. I WANT A MOMENT, THAT CONNECTS EVERYTHING, I AM, AND WHO I AM, IN ONE MOMENT, TO FEEL LIKE MY PURPOSE, ON THIS EARTH REFLECTS, THAT OF MY RELIGIOUS MORALS, JEWISH JESUS CHRIST AS MY WORSHIP, MY IDOL. AND MY RELATIONSHIP, AND FRIENDSHIP, WITH GOD. I WANT A MOMENT, WHERE I CAN FINALLY SAY, THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS ME DO, I’M FULFILLING, SOMETHING THAT IS DESTINED, IN MY PATH, WITH THIS MOMENT, THAT BRINGS WHAT’S UNDERSTOOD, IN THE PAST, BLINDED, WITH THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE, UNBLINDED. I WANT TO HAVE, THAT MOMENT, WHEN I KNOW, I’M LIVING OUT, OR HAVE LIVED MY PURPOSE, FOR GOD. GOD BEING GOD, YES TO ME, NO DIFFERENT, I WORSHIP. BUT GOD IS ALSO MY FATHER, MY AB’BAH, AND I WANT THAT MOMENT, TO BE ENCOMPASSED, IN EVERYTHING THAT DEFINES, A MOMENT 4 LIFE, WITH MY AB’BAH.

TARA FASHION 101: I AM PICTURED ABOVE, WITH A PASTEL, MILKY, ICE-CREAM, PASTRY PINK NAILS. THATS WHEN I REALIZE, THAT ALL PINKS, ARE BARBIE PINKS, IN THEIR OWN WAY. I LEARNED WITH THIS COLOR, THERE’S DIFFERENT LEVELS, OF STAIR-STEP CATEGORIES, OF BARBIE-PINK. IN THIS CASE, WHEN WE THINK OF, THE CHARACTER BARBIE, WE THINK OF, THE SWEET, BUBBLY, INNOCENT PERSONALITY, AND THE PERCEPTION, OF ONE OF THE CATEGORIES, BEING SWEET, SOFT BABY PINKS, PASTRY PINKS, CANDY PINKS, CUPCAKE PINKS, OR CAN BE CALLED SUGARED SWEET PINKS. AND BASICALLY, THESE PINKS, MAKE US THINK, OF OUR FAVORITE PINK TREATS, LIKE THIS COLOR, I AM WEARING, IS CALLED DND 536 CREAMY MACAROON. BUT IN MY OPINION, I THINK OF STRAWBERRY PINK ICECREAM. AND THE ONE THING, I HAD TO DO, WAS PLAY OFF, THE CATEGORY, OF THE NAILS: SUGARED SWEET PINKS. SO I PAIRED, COTTON CANDY BLUE, AND PINK, PEARL BRACELETS STACK, TO REALLY CONVEY, THE MEANING, OF THE HUE, OF THIS PINK. TARA FASHION 101: AN ODE, TO BARBIE’S MANY SHADES, OF PINKS. THAT MAKE US FEEL, SWEET, AND YUMMY INSIDE.

TARA FASHION 101: CREAMY, MILKY BALLERINA PINK, IS THE ONE COLOR, THAT COMPLIMENTS, ALL SKIN TONES, ITS THE ONE COLOR, THAT REMINDS US, THAT NO MATTER, THE HUE, OF THE COMPLEXION, THE ETHNICITY, THE CULTURE, YOU COME FROM. THIS HUE TEACHES CONVEYS THAT BEAUTY, IS UNIVERSAL, AND CAN ALL BE CELEBRATED. THERE’S ROOM, IN THIS WORLD, FOR MORE THAN, ONE TYPE OF PERCEPTION, OF BEAUTIFUL, AND WHAT IS SEEN AND COMPLIMENTED AS BEAUTY. AND THIS COLOR, I FEEL MAKES, THAT POINT, VERY CLEAR. IT ALSO EXPRESSES, ELEGANCE AND CLASSINESS, AND LADY-LIKE MODESTY. TO REMIND EVERY GIRL, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, WITH TAKING OWNERSHIP, OF YOUR MODESTY, OF WHAT MAKES YOU, FEEL BEAUTIFUL, AND CULTURALLY RESPECTED, IN YOUR ETHNICITY. TARA 101: NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS NAIL COLOR, IS BOLD, SOFT, BRIGHT, AND MORALLY, DEEPLY UNDERSTOOD.

TARA FASHION 101: ONE THING I’VE LEARNED, THAT I REALLY LIKE, SOMETHING MY AB’BAH, LED ME TO DO, THAT REALLY WOWS ME, EVERYTIME, IS MATCHING THE COLORS, OF YOUR HIJAB, WITH YOUR NAILS. SIMPLE AS THAT.

THIS HIJAB, I HAVE ON PICTURED ABOVE, IS OF ROYAL BLUE, AND LAVENDER. PAISLEY PRINT, REVERSIBLE HIJAB PASHMINA. I FEEL LIKE, MATCHING YOUR NAILS, WITH THE COLORS, REALLY HELPS BRING OUT THE DETAIL, AND DESIGN, AND MATERIAL, FABRIC I SHOULD SAY, OF THE HIJAB. AS WELL, AS THE ELEGANCE, OF YOUR NAILS. YOUR NAILS, SIMPLY SHED LIGHT ON, WHATEVER STORY, WHATEVER EMOTION, OF FASHIONABLE, ARTISTIC SELF-EXPRESSION, YOUR TRYING TO TELL, WITH YOUR HIJAB, AND YOUR OUTFIT, AS A WHOLE. I FEEL LIKE THIS HIJAB SAYS: I’M BOLD, AND FIERCE, AND MY NAILS, ARE SAYING: BECAUSE OF THE BOLD HUE, OF MY BLISS, KISSES THE DETAILS, AND PATERNS AND COLORS, OF THE HEADWRAP, WITH A CHRISTENING TOUCH. TARA 101: MATCH YOUR HIJAB, WITH YOUR NAILS, ITS EYECATCHING, ITS CHIC, IT MAKES ANY SIMPLE, CASUAL OUTFIT, REALLY JUST BREATHE LIFE, IN THE IMPORTANCE, OF HOW BEAUTIFUL, THE CULTURE, OF THE HIJAB, ITSELF REALLY IS. AND THE FAITH AND RELIGIOUS MORALS, THAT ENCOMPASS, THE BIGGER PICTURE. THAT BEAUTY IS MODESTY. MODESTY IS POSSIBILITY, TO OPEN THE TRENDS, AND DOORS, TO THE CULTURES OF FASHION, ELEGANTLY, AND EFFORTLESSLY.

MY BLUE, SHIMMERY SAPPHIRE NAILS, HAVE TO BE MY MOST THOUGHTFUL SUMMER TREND. THE REASON, WHY I SAY THIS, IS THE BRIGHT SAPPHIRE BLUE, CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION, WITH THE LITTLE GLITTERY SHIMMERS IN IT. IT REMINDS ME OF THE LITTLE MERMAID. I THINK SUMMER, IS ALL ABOUT BEING BOLD, STANDING OUT, GETTING TAN FROM THE HEAT, AND SHOWING OF YOUR NAILS AND YOUR FEET. SUMMER REALLY IS ABOUT, TRYING SOOMETHING, THAT REALLY ABOUT GLITTER AND SEQUINS AND SHIMMER, ON ALL THE SUNNY DAYS. AND THE SUN, REALLY BRINGS, THE BLUE SAPPHIRE COLOR TO LIFE. AS IT SHINES DOWN ON IT. NOW, I’M NOT SAYING, YOU HAVE TO GO, WITH SAPPHIRE BLUE. IN FACT, YOU CAN GO, WITH ANY GLITTERY, SHIMMERY NAILPOLISH, FOR A PERFECT MANI PEDI. ALL EYES, WILL BE ON YOUR NAILS, GLISTENING IN THE SUMMER SUN. ANOTHER TREND, TO TRY: TARA 101: HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, ABOUT MATCHING YOUR NAILS, WITH JEWELRY? PICTURE ABOVE I MATCHED MY NAILS, WITH THE EXACT SAME COLOR: BLUE SAPPHIRE PEARL BRACELETS, AS MY NAILS. AND BOY, DOES IT REALLY STAND OUT. TO MATCH YOUR NAILS, WITH YOUR JEWELRY, IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE, THAT EMPHASIZES, THAT YOU ARE FASHIONABLY AWARE, OF HOW TO INCORPORATE, DETAIL, HOW TO INFUSE COLOR. SO GIVE, IT A TRY, I PROMISE, YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.

TARA 101: I CAN’T FULLY EXPRESS TO YOU, WHY I LOVE THESE FRAMES, SO MUCH MY CATEYE GLASSES, ARE SO TRENDY. THE EXAGGERATED, TEARDROP, WHAT I CALL PRINCESS JASMINE EYE SHAPE, CATCHES MY ATTENTION, WHEN I’M LOOKING, AT MY PICTURE, OF MYSELF, OR PICTURES, IN A MAGAZINE, OR PEOPLE ON INSTAGRAM, WITH DRAMATIC CATEYE FRAMES. BUT ITS ALL, IN THE WAY, THEY MAKE ME FEEL. I AM NOT ONE, INTO BEAUTY PRODUCTS, OR MAKEUP, OR WHATEVER BEING OR FEELING PRETTY IS. I’VE NEVER HAD THE KNOWLEDGE, TO PUT IT ON, AND PLUS MY SKIN, IS VERY, VERY SENSITIVE, SO WHEN I WEAR THESE GLASSES, AND PAIR THEM, WITH A BOLD GLOSS, AND LIPSTICK, THE DUO PAIR, COMPLIMENTS EACH OTHER, AND I FEEL, LIKE IM WEARING MAKEUP. I KNOW, SOUNDS SILLY, BUT NO REALLY, I LOVE MY CATEYE GLASSES. IT MAKES WEARING GLASSES, NOT SEEM SO BAD, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, IS THROW A NICE PEARL EYEGLASS CHAIN, EARRINGS, WITH PEARL NECKLACE, AND BRACELETS, AND YOU’VE GOT YOURSELF, AN OUTFIT. FOR ALL THOSE, WHO WEAR GLASSES, AND LOVE DIFFERENT STYLES. OF GLASSES, AND COLORS. EYEBUYDIRECT, AS WELL AS ZENNI, MY TWO FAVORITE ONLINE RETAILERS, HAS MANY CATEYE FRAMES, TO CHOOSE FROM. AT AFFORADABLE PRICES. PLUS, EYEBUYDIRECT HAS DESIGNER CATEYE GLASSES, AS WELL LIKE VOGUE.

I THINK THEY’RE, SO MANY LITTLE THINGS, WE MISS IN FASHION, AND BEAUTY, THAT COULD REALLY BENEFIT US, AND OPEN OUR MINDS, TO SO MUCH CREATIVITY. I AM PICTURED, WITH A BARBIE-PINK HEADBAND, BARBIE-PINK CAT EYEGLASSES, WITH A PEARL EMBELLISHED, EYEGLASS CHAIN. THAT MATCHES THE CRISP, WHITE OF MY SHIRT. I PAIRED MATCHING PEARLESCENT SHIMMERY LIPGLOSS, TO MATCH THE GLASSES AND I PAIRED BALLERINA, MILKY, BABY-BARBIE-PINK NAILS. I JUST LOVE, HOW THE GLASSES, REALLY SET OF THE TONE, OF THE LIPGLOSS, AND THE JEWELRY, OF THE CHAIN. THE GLASSES ARE ALMOST TREATED HERE LIKE A FINE GLASS PIECE OF EYEWEAR JEWELRY, THE WAY, THE LIPGLOSS, SHIMMERS OFF, EVERY ANGLE, AND SHAPE, OF THE GLASSES. EVEN SOMETHING, AS SIMPLE, AS THIS, IS A TREND. AND CAN BE BROADENED, TO NEW HIGHTS FOR SOME OF YOU FASHIONISTAS OUT THERE.

I AM PICTURED, ABOVE WEARING, A FUCHSIA PEACOCK, PINK HIJAB PASHMINA, WITH BOLD PIGMENTED, BARBIE PINK CATEYE GLASSES, THAT I PAIRED, WITH BARBIE PINK LIPSTICK, THAT PLAYS OFF OF, THE COLORS, IN THE SCARF. THE GLASSES, WITH THIS OUFIT, PLAYS A BIG ROLE HERE, BECAUSE THE GLASSES, SET THE TONE, TEXTURE, HUES, AND DESIGNS, OF HOW, THE JEWELRY IS LOOKING HERE. I PAIRED THE GLASSES, WITH PEACOCK-FUCHSIA PEARL BRACELERS STACK. FOR THE NAILS, I WANTED TO DO, SOMETHING VERY BOLD, I COULD OF DONE, SHIMMERY, MAGENTA PEACOCK-PINK NAILS, BUT I DECIDED TO GO, WITH SOMETHIING, A LITTLE SOFTER, THAT WILL BE SEEN PREVALENT, WITH THE BRACELETS, AT THE SAME TIME. SO I PAIRED, BALLERINA, MILKY-PINK NAILS.

TARA FASHION 101: HAVE YOU EVER TRIED, TO PAIR YOUR GLASSES? WITH YOUR OUTFIT? AS IF IT A PIECE OF YOUR JEWELRY? HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, MATCHING YOUR GLASSES? OF THE SAME COLOR WITH YOUR JEWELRY? FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, PAIRING YOUR LET’S SAY SKY-BLUE HAIR, WITH DARKER WATER BLUE GLASSES, AND JEWELRY. AM I MAKING SENSE? HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD.

PICTURED, I AM WEARING, MY LIGHT BARBIE PINK TURBAN, WITH MY BRIGHT BARBIE-PINK HAIR, THAT I PAIRED, WITH VERY MINIMAL BOLD ACCESSORIES. THAT OBVIOUSLY, STAND OUT, FOR YOU TO SEE. I PAIRED THE GLASSES, AS IF IT WHERE JEWELRY. WHICH IT REALLY COULD BE, IN THIS CASE. I PAIRED WHAT I CALL MY RASPBERRY BARBIE PINK SEAGLASSES, WITH MATCHING, RASPBERRY BARBIE-PINK, PEARL STACKED BRACELETS. TO FINISH THE SIMPLE ACCESSORIZING, I PAIRED WITH PASTEL BARBIE PINK TURBAN, BRIGHT PASTEL, POWDE- PINK NAILS, TO MATCH THE TURBAN. IT’S VERY SIMPLE, CLEVER-CHIC, CASUAL-CHIC, WITHOUT BEING TOO CHIC.

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS SUMMER, I ACCOMPLISHED, ALOT OF BEAUTY TRENDS, UNDER MY BELT, FROM BEING ENCOURAGED, BY GOD, TO DO THE THINGS, I’VE ALWAYS, WANTED TO DO. I CAN NOW SAY, I’VE HAD PINK HAIR, WORN PINK LIPGLOSS/LIPSTICK, HAD BARBIE PINK NAILS, WORE AN ASSORTMENT OF PINK, AND BLUE GLASSES, MY TWO FAVORITE COLORS. AND BLEACHED, MY HAIR BLONDE, THE SAME COLOR, AS MY AB’BAH. SO I CAN SAY, THIS WAS A VERY, FUN, SUCCESSFUL SUMMER. TARA 101: WHAT SUMMER TRENDS, HAVE YOU SET FOR YOURSELF? WHAT SOMETHING, IN THE BEAUTY, AND FASHION TOPIC, HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO? IF SO DID YOU ACCOMPLISH IT? THIS SUMMER?

AS SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN. IT IS NOT TOO LATE. A DAY, EVEN THREE DAYS, ALOT CAN HAPPEN.
