JavaBoi Industries

I want to start off my dedicating this entry to the person who inspired me to write about it. Mr. Eric Anthony Johnson. If you want to know the definition of a walking inspiration, success in human form, and the aura of positivity then I recommend that you continue to read on.

Eric Anthony Johnson is the CEO of JavaBoi Industries, this is a company that offers the most adorable yet fierce t-shirts for the ultimate coffee lover (like myself) in all types of colors and creative phrases such as “Im Java Whipped”, “Tea is coffee’s gay cousin” and “In Java we trust”. Eric has come such a long way to promote and advertise his business in the best way he knows how and of course I was hooked right away. I remember the first time I ever heard of JavaBoi Industries, I was watching a fellow youtuber Ms. BentlyBlonde and she was doing a review of a couple of his shirts and I just fell in love instantly, I said to myself “Get out of here how cute is that?” and I just had to get more information on this company. I later found Eric on Facebook and requested him, there he would post the most inspirational statuses and would hold giveaways on the occasion to his loyal fans. One day Eric held a giveaway on one of his shirts to whomever can answer one of his questions and of course I answered correctly and won a Javaboi T-shirt which I immediately fell in love with, This is where my addiction to caffeine got stronger lol.

Once you order a T-shirt from Javaboi Industries the representation is just flawless, the shirt comes inside a coffee bag (No coffee inside of course) but the creativity of the packaging is simply memorable. Eric is in the process of making shirts for kids as well which is very exciting since I am dying to get one for my daughter.

I really look up to Eric because this is visual proof of someone making their dreams become a reality. I am so proud of the steps he has taken, and so in awe of his professionalism and his positive outlook on life he is just a walking inspiration to me and many others.

I wish Eric all the success he deserves, all the magic a person can with hold, all the light and positivity in his heart to make JavaBoi Industries a 100 store chain in the world. I know he can do it. If you are interested on purchasing one of his T-shirts please check out his site www.javaboiindustries.com Wish you all the best Eric on all your endeavors 

My Interview With DBeautyJunkie

Jmoon-1. When did you know that being involved in the beauty industry was something you wanted to do?
DBeautyJ-Actually I used to be the biggest tomboy I preferred my timberland boots and baggy jeans to a dress any day. I only made an effort during special occasions and holidays. It was about five years ago that I officially started the girly transformation to full time status. It was mainly due to an intervention by a friend of mine. She marched me into Sephora and told me honestly I'm worth it. So I kept it going.
Jmoon I think every young girl had a tomboy phase one time or another so I can totally relate to that feeling.

Jmoon-2. What gives you inspiration on a daily basis when regarding your blog entries?
DbeautyJ-People don't understand how much effort it takes us to be beauty bloggers having to write everyday and be clever is difficult sometimes. However my writing is an escape when I'm having a difficult day at work I'll hide in the bathroom put on some makeup and start writing. It's a tension stress reliever.
Jmoon LOL! I can totally picture you hiding in your office playing with makeup :D

Jmoon-3. Since having your blog have you noticed great things happen or did it stay pretty much the same?
DBeautyJ-Actually everything stayed the same for awhile it took about a year when some amazing things started happening. Suddenly I was popular and people were asking my advice. Later I would be invited to brand parties and I'd even meet creators and famous MUA's. It has been a tremendous ride and I'm so very blessed to be on it.

Jmoon-4. What are you hobbies? What do you do to wisk your mind away from the chaotic world?
DBeautyJ-Hmmm I don't really have hobbies, i'm a bit of a tech junkie so I guess my hobby would be playing with the newest toys out.

Jmoon-5. What are your favorite makeup brands?
DBeautyJ-it's so hard to pick, but I adore Make Up For Ever I use their products on a daily basis. Being a makeup junkie my favorite will depend on what I'm wearing that day.

Jmoon-6. What would your advice be for young girls wanting to be just like you?
DBeautyJ-My advice don't be like me LOL...I'm trouble. My only real advice to anyone is to be yourself, and get comfortable in your skin. It took me a long time to feel beautiful and young girls need to realize they are gorgeous they way they were made. Enjoy your youth!
Jmoon- I couldn't agree with you more.

Jmoon-7. Have you met any interested people along the way?
DBeautyJ-You always meet interesting people when you keep yourself open. Out of everyone I have met I will admit Ms. Moon is one of my favorites, in this business it's so rare to find genuine people and you my dear are beautiful.
Jmoon- That is so nice of you to say and it really touches my heart. You are a great person as well and I am so blessed to call you my friend.

Jmoon-8. What is your number one main goal? What would you like to see come out from doing your blog?
DBeautyJ-My main goal with this blog is self expression, I want to always be true to myself so my readers will enjoy the content. In the future I would love for this blog to support me, so I can stay home and play with makeup full time.
Jmoon- Wouldn't that be the ultimate dream job, I really do hope that happens for you, I think you are an amazing writer.

Jmoon-9. If you can pick just 3 makeup products to take on a deserted island what would they be?
DBeautyJ-To get me on a deserted island would be a major challenge but if you knock me out you'd probably find in my pocket Korres Cherry Lip Gloss, Shea Cashmere hand cream from Bath and Body MUFE eyeliner (color dependent on outfit at time of kidnapping)

Jmoon-10. What would your advice be to a young girl who wants to start a blog of her own?
DBeautyJ-My advice to anyone that wants to start a blog is stolen from Nike...JUST DO IT. Believe in yourself you'll never know where it will take you.

Jmoon- Thank you so much for taking the time out and doing this interview. I know many ladies who would love to know what is behind the blog. Its a great way of learning how genuine and special that person is, and you my dear are an absolute jewel.

Sick in bed..

Happy Tuesday Dolls..So I have been thinking that I should write whats going on in my life. Just a little entry letting you ladies know whats going on with me at the moment. For the past 2 days I have been really sick and honestly I am the type of person that hates calling out of work because I dont want to look irresponsible. I much rather go to work and have my boss tell me to go home then me just call out but today I had to call out cause I was just so out of it. I was talking to a friend of mines yesterday and we were just joking around about how funny I sound since I was losing my voice so I took that and came up with an idea of singing a song for my youtube channel. I was actually proud of myself for going through with it cause I am occasionally shy at times. I posted the video and recieved all these amazing comments of people saying how much they loved the video and how I made them laugh lol. I was so happy to hear that.

Making that video made me open up a bit and not be so scared about what people think about me. I promised myself to do more makeup tutorials so that I have a wider range of videos to show on my channel and doing this singing video really helped. I am hoping once I get back to my 100% self I can make more videos conquering fear. If you would like to see the video of me singing please feel free to go to my youtube channel or see below.

Right now I am just taking my medicine and getting some well needed rest so that I can be ready for work tomorrow. I hope you all are enjoying your day and if you liked this entry and would like me to add more personal things going on in my life please leave me a comment below and I will do just that. Smooches Dolls XOX

In Honor To Talent

I have had the honor of meeting Ms. LayDPynk a few months ago and she is the sweetest most humble and one of the most talented girls I have ever met. The first time I learned about LayDPynk was when I stumbled upon one of her Youtube video where she is known as PynkPussyCat. I just thought to myself “Wow” this girl is such a natural and I loved how her beautiful children where in her videos almost all the time playing in the background. Ms. LayDPynk has an amazing imagination and she makes it known when she does her Halloween inspired makeup looks, or her glammed up diamond eyes look, she also does unique hairstyles in which she just creates art in whichever way she can.

Ms. LayDPynk’s talents doesn’t just stop there, she is the proud owner of a fabulous website called www.LayDPynk.com where she sells beautiful jewelry such as necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets in forms of snakes, butterflies, blow dryers and skulls. She also sells sexy dresses to go out on the town or to go clubbing with the girls, she also just started selling shoes on her website for all you shoe lovers out there. Ms. LayDPynk is making herself known to the world in which ever way she can. I recently attended IMATS NY and there Ms. LayDPynk was handing out her flyers and business cards, this was a girl on a mission. I was so proud of her and so inspired by her strengths that I felt the need to write this blog in her honor and in hopes that you lovely ladies who follow me on this blog will take notice of her kind spirit and take a gander on to her website.

I have the honor to tell you that I have met some amazing women, and Ms. LayDPynk a.k.a my friend Tabatha is one of those amazing women, and I feel blessed to call her my friend. Talent comes in all different shapes and forms in this case..Talent IS LayDPynk. Love Ya Mamas!

Make It Happen

Ever wake up in the morning and open your eyes and think “What the heck am I doing with my life?” I can’t even explain to you how many times that has happened to me. I have this vision as a young child that I was going to be at a certain place at a certain time. We all have to make our mark in this world in some way or another but we are rarely given the opportunity to prove that point.

Recently I started thinking just because I have my regular 9-5 that doesn’t mean that defines me and my personality does it? If I am a working woman by day where this is the job I do to make a living and pay my bills to support my family does that mean this is the definition of “Jasmin Ortiz?” I decided to take the steps I needed to make in order to make a name for myself, to prove to myself and no one else that I am capable of achieving my wants in any way I can. Although I know schooling is a big factor it isn’t the only means of success, you can be self taught and read as many books in the subject of your choice and become a expert in that way, create opportunities where you can be more hands on and learn that way.

I will be honest with you I didn’t always love makeup; my first love has always been and forever will be fashion. I learned to fall in love with the cousin of fashion just about a little over a year ago. I never wore makeup the way I do now and I feel as it helped me become this more confident person. I was embraced by all the makeup love at that point lol.

This entry is being written to you in hopes of getting to know me a little bit better as well as helping others who doubt their talents. I know many of you have some kind of dream, some kind of wish that you would love to make happen and I am here to tell you that YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES. Keep fighting for what you believe in, if you love fashion then collect magazines learn what is hot for this upcoming season, help your friends with their wardrobe, make them over and take pictures. If makeup is your passions then have makeup get together, do your friends and families makeup for a night out or an early brunch and take pictures, you can learn in so many different ways. I have so many passions in my life and I have to tell you that I try my best to combine them all. If this world was full of people with passion rather than people settling just to make ends meet, No one is going to be happy and there will be no positivity in this world. Take what defines you and OWN it! Do whatever it is you have to do big or small and just try. You or no one is this world can say you didn’t and the best feeling in the universe is proving doubters wrong. Good Luck in all your endeavors. Make yourselves proud!!

Mercedez Benz Fashion Week 2011

February 13th 2011 will be a date that I shall remember forever and a day. I was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of one of the most biggest moments in fashion history. A good friend of mine invited me to join her and experiece fashion week first hand, and I have to tell you it was everything I ever dreamed of and more.

First let me share a little story with you. When I was about 8 years old I knew that I loved to draw and design outfits for my Barbie, I knew that there was something about using your imagination to create something so beautiful it was your soul painting on paper. The day I knew I wanted to go to school for design was the day I said to myself "I am going to attend fashion week in NYC one day" and just a few days ago I did just that, not as a designer but a spectator but "Oh what a magical night that was".

I was blessed to glance at the work of Diane Von Furstenburg and Zang Toi and "Oh My Fabric" was it an amazing sight to see live and in person. The colors these designers used were so vibrant and enchanting. The romance in these dresses were just moving with life, the models walked with such elegance and class. It was like experiencing what was inside one of their dreams it was so unreal.

Spring 2011 will be all about color and patters, I saw alot of floral patterns as well as bold bright colors such as bright reds, greens and blues. One particular fabric that stood out to me was the sequins, There were sequin dresses and jackets that were the "New" night blazer in my book. I wish you ladies could have seen first hand how beautiful everything was. If you stop by my youtube channel you can see some footage I recorded from that day.

This was really a dream come true for me, and I know that life can be real unfair at times and you might think nothing will ever happen for the good but please just take a moment before you start to believe that and know that someone out there went to hardships too and after the storm the rainbow came out for her. Believe that anything can happen, Believe that you can make your dreams come true as well, Fight the fight to success and you too will have a moment for life like I did. XOXO

My Youtube Channel

Next month on March 17th will embark my one year anniversary on youtube. This was the day I started out on a new venture in my life. This was the day I stepped out of my shyness and started making videos for hundreds to see. I must admit it was very nerve wracking but I couldn't let me nerves get the best of me. Through out this journey I have grown into a more confident person and a must self assured individual.

I have met some wonderful people who I am honored to call my friends. These women and I have a bond, a link, a similar love for makeup and fashion. A way to explore beauty in many many different ways. We can go outside the box and create a sense of comfort using just colors and a smile. You can tell how much we enjoy making videos just cause it shows all over our faces. Many of us are mothers, wives, some of us do youtube to keep us company due to our husbands being in the army. We all have our reasons why we chose to have youtube in our lives. I chose youtube because I wanted to share my love for fashion and makeup and maybe learn a thing or two from others who share the love on their channel and I most definitely did.

Im writing this blog for a few reasons, I wanted to tell the people who follow my blog "Thank You" for your continue support. I know that I dont post as much as I should but that is why I am here tonight..To give you a promise, A promise that I will post most often. Makeup, Fashion, Friendships, Work, Anything that comes to mind. I am here to give a opinion. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on what I write as well or even what you might like to see. I am trying out a few things that I want to do a review on, I want to take my time and give the products my full attention so that I may give you a honest and thorough review.

Again, Thank you so much for all the love and stay tuned because I promise great things ahead. :) XOXOX
