#BoycottDriscoll's | PROTEST

Image
Hello Everyone! I would like to bring this protest to your attention. If you have not yet heard of the Driscoll's protest here is an insight. These immigrant workers are out in the scorching sun picking fruit for about $6 an hour for 12-15 hours! They are being treated terribly and harassed every day. IMAGINE how much bravery it took for them to come together and tell authorities. Not only are they being assaulted while trying to work (including child workers), but they are being threatened and the employers refuse to negotiate with them for better working conditions and salaries. These people are the backbone of America and some don't seem to want to understand that. Look around you; your gardener, school janitor, construction worker, ect. They are all part of the immigrant labor force because they have families to provide for. They are WORKING they are trying to survive. These people deserve EQUALITY and to be treated better. That is why this protest calls for an end to: ...

Women's History Month | Selena Quintanilla

Image
Hello Everyone!    So who has heard of Selena? No, not Gomez. THE Selena Quintanilla. A Mexican-American woman born in Corpus Christi, Texas who revolutionized fashion and Tejano music. She was unfortunately murdered 21 years ago today... ,but I would like to focus on the impact she made on many lives during her short life. Selena began her singing career in a band called ''Los Dinos'' which was managed by her father. In fact, more than one of her album's went gold! The queen of Tejano was a Grammy winner who also created her own clothing line. Everyone knew how talented and special she was. Most of all people would remember the way her smile and voice instantly captured someones attention. The way she danced, which seemed effortless. As some of you know I am also Hispanic and like Selena, extremely proud of my roots and culture.      Even though Selena was Chicana she never forgot her heritage. Her style and music derived from Mexico. NOW she still continues...

Women's History Month

Image
Hello Everyone!      What does being a woman mean to you? We all know at least one women that we look up to. It may be your mother or maybe even a public figure. For centuries women have been belittled and denied so many basic rights. Expected to not have the ability of leaders, to stay quiet, to cater, to care for. Misogyny is alive in society today, women are suffering all around the world. Women should not stay quiet. You do not need a man's validation in order to be happy. Let's support each other.      Let's remember all the women in history and all the women who are currently fighting and have faced death in the name of equality. Those women are true heroes. The women who sacrifice everything in order for their children to be well. The strong women who suffer daily because they are not allowed to do even the simplest things. These women deserve a celebration. I'd like to thank all the women who have helped change society for the better. ...

#KissAndMakeup | Bystander Revolution & Tarte Cosmetics

Image
Hello everyone!      Today, I want to invite you all to stand with Bystander Revolution & Tarte Cosmetics in order to raise awareness against cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is something that everyone should know is simply wrong to do. Why bully someone, even online? Words truly damage people and with so many young kids online... the effects can be terrible. ''#KissAndMakeup'' is a trend designed to start a more positive online culture.      All you do is post a photo of yourself with a kiss mark (on your hand) covering your lips, then you compliment and tag a few people. I think this is a lovely way to just put out good vibes. I do remind you that this is for EVERYONE not simply women. Although, I highly support the concept of us women sticking together and supporting each other instead of dragging each other down. On that note, I hope you all decide to support this great cause. Thanks so much for reading.

Update & Deleting Social Media

Hello Everyone!       How are you all? I wanted to discuss why I have not been uploading YouTube videos every week on my channel RoseLifeXO. I noticed that I did very well during the month of December! Which I'm happy about. Haha Anyway, it is because I had been moving houses and if you all have not experienced that, then let me tell you that it is very stressful. Especially with a big family and having college every morning (plus sometimes evenings). Even though yes, I have been under a lot of emotional/physical stress... I will be fine. Basically, me filming while feeling down would've been negative. I enjoy sharing parts of my life with you all, but I rather keep a balance of me being real and keeping negative things off of my content. My motive is to spread positivity. The last thing I want to do is complain, so I will not do that! Overall, I am happy about the move and glad that I am almost settled in. The place will only be temporary, but I do not want to get into...

Goodbye 2015

Image
Hello Everyone!      As 2015 ends, I'd like to say goodbye to it and everything negative that came with it. Whether the problems were internal or external, I want to cleanse myself of any bad energy and toxic things/people that made me unhappy. Let's surround ourselves with positive people. Please don't get me wrong... I believe 2015 was good to me. I actually focused more on blogging & creating YouTube videos more consistently, which makes me extremely happy. I grew close with some of the most genuine people that I have ever met, and for that I am unspeakably thankful. I feel like 2015 helped me open up to a lot of new things that I just needed to experience. The highlights... I'm sure you all already know what I'm going to say haha. They were definitely the concerts I went to!      This past February, I saw Lights for the very first time live, she is my favorite female artist. Next, I saw one of my favorite pop punk bands for the first ti...

YOU. Your inner being; No label needed

Hello Everyone!      Today I want to elaborate on one of my main ideals. I call it an ideal because based on very personal experiences, this is something that I very much value.  Everyday I try to get closer to not only discovering who I am, but living the life I want for myself. It's certainly not easy, but it is very much worth it. I constantly see many people being afraid of showing themselves to the world. So many factors go into this, from wanting to impress someone to being told how to act. For most, acceptance is the goal... but what if you only needed your own acceptance and approval?       It has to do with the fact that us as humans have been conditioned to society's standards. For example, what is beauty? What is an acceptable way of living? And even the opinions that we have. We're expected to overall live so limited and unrealistically. It's such an irony actually, the reality is unrealistic. In my opin...
