I'm back!



Hello, to all three folks who follow me. LOL! 

It's been quite a while since I have blogged. Honestly, I forgot I had even created this blog! Life happens and, as we all know, things become forgotten or ignored. Anyway, let's catch up...

Since I last blogged, I became a grandma, moved from Kansas to Georgia, and decided to go back to college. We are actually in the process of moving again (to Texas)  in a few short months!

My Grand-daughter

My sweet grand-daughter, Mila, was born in April of 2017. I had the honor of being there to coach my daughter through labor and delivery and live only 2 blocks away from her since then. Sadly, in a few days, my daughter is moving with her husband overseas. My heart is breaking, but I understand that we only keep our children for a short while, and that I have been more than blessed to have been able to spend this time with my grand-daughter.

Kansas to Georgia

Our move from Kansas to Georgia (in December of 2016) was, as always, due to the Army life. My husband went from being enlisted to being an officer. We are so very proud of him. After graduation, he went overseas (I stayed in the states with our kids and our grand-daughter), so I cannot speak on what has changed in our lives due to him becoming an officer, because our lives, at the moment, are unchanged. 

College

It took me 36 years, but I finally realized what I wanted to be when I grow up! I took the (very scary) leap and enrolled in college again. I attend online, so keeping up with school while still doing everything else hasn't been too hard. Yes, some nights I stay up writing essays, creating PowerPoints, or reading until my eyes bleed, but nothing worthwhile comes easy. I have been attending school for a year and four months now and am doing well and I am still as excited and enthusiastic as I was when I (finally) realized what I was truly meant to study. 

Georgia to Texas

Now we are gearing up for his return and our move (back) to Texas. My husband and I purchased our first home and I have been super excited preparing to decorate in a whole new style. You guessed it... Farmhouse! Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon. I just love the coziness of it all. I do throw in a few glam and boho touches, so it's unique to who I am. After all, if there is one thing I live by, it's "Be you in everything you do." 


So that sums it up, I think. I hope to be able to blog more, but I can't promise much. My make-up addiction has taken a backseat to some of the other things in my life, but I still love it as much as ever. However, if there is anything you want me to keep sharing about, whether it be make-up or decorating the new place, just drop me a comment! I'll do my best to keep up! 

Much love to you all!

Makeup can be quite pricey, especially if you are (or become) a makeup junkie! Here are some tips to help you save a few bucks: The obvious... Check out the SALE section. Items that are seasonal will likely go on sale after the season is over. Also, discontinued items are likely to be found in the sale section, just don't get too attached to those, as they'll be hard or impossible to find once the remaining the stock is sold. P.S. I hear that Sephora places their most expensive items at eye-level, so try looking at the lower shelves to see what you find! :) Shop discount sites, like HauteLook and Beauty Encounter . If you're okay with purchasing gently used products, look into resale sites, such as  MUABS . Most of the sellers are artists just trying to get rid of excess makeup. You can sanitize products with isopropyl alcohol, like Alcone  (which is recommended for beauty products), or use products made specifically for sanitizing makeup, like those fro...

Who are YOU?

Sassy is defined by Google as  lively, bold, and full of spirit.  Those are attributes I want us to have in common. Through this blog, I hope to help you find YOUR sassy flow.  Image from Google I'm sure you noticed that "flow" isn't spelled correctly in my blog title, so this is a good time to introduce myself... My name is Francelin Lopez. (See it?) I was inspired by my fellow Latina and Bronx native, Jennifer Lopez (JLo), to use FLo as an alias. However, I don't prono unce it ef-lō... I pronounce it "flow". (Yes, like the Progressive girl.) Why "flow" and not  ef-lō ? Because it pairs well with the one word my husband chooses to describe me by... Sassy! Apparently my sassiness just "flows". ;) (Moving on...)  I am 35 years young and a mother, wife, and dog owner.  I decided to write  Your Sassy Flo  because I believe that your uniqueness should be portrayed in as many ways as possible, in particular ...
