Blog One!

Well, where do I start?

I have always considered joining the blogging world but could never decide what to blog about. I've watched my parents blog about their two years of living in the Philippines and my boyfriend blog about literally anything that comes to his mind (he's a great writer and cracks me up with every random blog he makes). I feel so inspired by the people around me but in the end, my life is not that riveting that I would grab the attention of hundreds of readers.

So I began thinking to myself, what are topics that I love that I think a ton of other women will love too? There is an obvious answer to my question... Fashion, beauty, and hair! And tips, reviews, products, and instructions to match!

Hence the reason I've titled my blog "Sinema's Not So Secret Tips to Feeling Like You've Stepped Out of a Bruno Mars Song".

I know what you're thinking... What a long name! Where's the alliteration? Where's the catchy, 'rolls off the tongue' name? Here is my thought process behind the AWESOME blog title:

1. The tips, reviews, products, and instructions I plan on sharing are definitely not some ultra exclusive tips that no one has ever heard of. I'm a huge Pintrest junkie and love to try home remedies, hair styles, products galore, fashion tips, or anything that catches my eye. My blog will detail what I find, what I try, and my results.  I've also developed an addiction for Ipsy and a disappointing addiction to Birchbox (first tip of the blog... IPSY ALL THE WAY! Skip Birchbox and save yourself the disappointment) and plan on detailing my great finds that I receive each month.

This explains the 'Not So Secret' part.

2. What woman doesn't want to feel amazing just the way they are? Or feel like a treasure? Or look at their man, smile and say "Daddy, it's yourrrrrssss!"? I don't know of it's just me, but when I listen to Bruno Mars sing his heart out, I feel like he's singing just for me. Don't get me wrong... I love me some Justin Timberlake, Zac Efron, and Ryan Reynolds! Bruno Mars is not my "type" but when he sings his many songs dedicated to women, it gives me a boost, a high if you will. I can be having a crappy day and once I hear Treasure, I have a smile from ear to ear. What woman doesn't want to feel like they've stepped out of a Bruno Mars song? Like Bruno is belting out his amazing voice just for you?

What I love most is that the feeling of stepping out of a Bruno Mars song can be different for each woman. A woman can feel best all dolled up with the hair, the heels, and the makeup, a woman can feel best looking natural and rocking some flops, a woman can feel best after leaving the gym, or a woman can feel best just waking up (psh, I wish!). A woman has the freedom to feel beautiful in any way she pleases!

That explains the 'Feeling Like You've Stepped Out of a Bruno Mars Song' part.

My goal for this blog is to document fashion, beauty, and any other finds I want to remember (hoarding them on Pinterest, in my closet, my bathroom, my bookmarks, my photos, and where ever else I store all this crap is just a tad bit exhausting and unorganized). And my hope is that other women can find something useful out of this that will help them feel like they've stepped out of a Bruno Mars song as well!

Here we go!...
