Heeydi De Santos

Have a signature accessory, clothing article, make up look, or hair style.

Have a fragrance. Make your hair scents and lotions match your perfume.

It’s okay to dine alone. Bring a book or people watch.

Love your hair. Research the best brands for your hair type and use masks weekly.

Your nails don’t need to be fancy, but keep them maintained.

Stay worldly. Know works of art, artists, designers, films, books, politicians. Spend your lunch break reading the paper or a magazine.

Crying is not a weapon. It’s okay to feel your emotions, but never use them as an excuse to avoid your problems.

Jealousy is boring. Love and appreciate others. If you can’t love them, forget them.

Boost others. Flatter others, but don’t deprecate yourself in the process.

Don’t sulk. Don’t let the whole world know your problems. If you don’t want someone to give their opinion, don’t share your situation.

Your life is between you and the universe. Don’t post your personal matters for others to see.

Don’t emotionally blackmail others. They hurt you? Let them know and then move on. It’s between the two of you and not the world.

Cook dinner. Cook dinner and listen to music, the radio, or a podcast.

Treat yourself to candles and flowers. Be your own cheerleader.

Take naps. Take a cat nap on a Sunday afternoon with the blinds open and the fan on high.

Drink your water, eat your vegetables. Take care of your body.

Never have time to take off your jewelry before bed, but always have time to take off your makeup. Your nighttime skin regime is important.

Mystery is beautiful. You don’t need to reveal much of or about yourself.

(Some Aztec gods and goddesses)

Tezcatlipoca: He was originally the god of the Sun, but after a battle with Quetzalcoatl he became the god of darkness and witchcraft. Coatlicue bit his feet and he replaced it with a mirror that reflected the past, the present, and the future. After being expelled from heaven he became the jaguar on the earth and the Ursa major.

Xochipili and Xochiquetzal: Xochipili was the god of flowers, music, and dance and Xochiquetzal was a shapeless spirit represented with the color red. Xochipili watched over the hummingbird spirits of the dead warriors and Xochiquetzal governed a kingdom for warriors dead in battle and women who had died while giving birth.

Quetzalcoatl: he transformed into a serpent, destroyed the world, and reconstructed it after the extinction of the humankind. Then he went to the underworld, collected the bones of the humans, ground and mixed them with his and Tezcatlopoca’s blood and gave the life back to humankind.

Huitzilopochtli: He is the god of the Sun and the war. He was very feared and he was given human sacrifices (War prisoners and warriors)

Tlaloc: He is the god of rain. He was good, as he led it rain so that the crops would grow but he could also be bad, causing floods.

Coatlicue: She is the goddess of the earth and the life giver. For the Aztecs, she was the mother of all gods and she could cause an earthquake, opening the earth’s bowels to devour her very own children.

Coyolxauhqui: She is the goddess of the moon. Every morning she dies in the hands of Huitzilopochtli. She’s in a constant war with him (Day and night).
