Who is StateOfBeauty?!

Simply a young lady who aspires to be more! 

I came up with the name for my social media sites; I wanted a name that fit me well. I've always been a firm believer that beauty comes from within -not your appearance- I’ve always kept that state of mind, always working on becoming a better me which helps me remain in that "State of Beauty" 

My name is Rosa Evelyn Soto but everyone knows me as Evy.  I was named Rosa after my grandmother and my mom started calling me “Evy” since I was a little girl (her short version of Evelyn) I’m a Scorpio who was born October 25, 1987 in Los Angeles, I have one younger brother and I became an aunt in 2011 to a beautiful niece -Jazlyn- who I adore!   

I love listening to all genres of music, traveling is the most exciting thing I can do, I enjoy making scrapbooks, fitness has slowly become soemthing I enjoy lol, I love trying new adventures and I like to have fun in whatever form it may come.  I'm blessed and thankful for the wonderful mother God gave me and I am starting to understand that there is a purpose for what she went through and what I will go through as I begin on this journey in dealing with her loss, it's a long road ahead for me.  My mother was my rock and my world, she was my anchor who held me down no matter what and I can't pretend like Ive been doing ok without her because it has been tough and painful.  I just try to laugh and smile as much as I can each day and try to maintain a normal life but it's far from normal now, but I try to push as best as I can so I can continue to make her proud.  She always told me how proud she was for all that I had done.  Each year my relationship with her grew stronger and stronger, it's safe to say we had a perfect relationship....that's the beauty of our bond and what I loved most.  Some days are better than others but I still find myself getting in a funk, upset, mad, sad, and crying when I least expect it....I trust God that He will help me through this storm.  This process has only brought me closer to God and I know I have to continue seeking him to get through this  I am a firm believer that by staying faithful and trusting in Him things will turn around for me.  I have already received many unexpected blessings even through this storm so I can't wait to see what else He has for me!

I initially created this blog for my personal benefit as another stress reliever- a place where I can just write anything I want.  It’s my personal online journal that I’ve decided to share openly, I’m not big on sharing too much about my life but then I think “what if something I write about can help someone else”. I just ask that you keep in mind that I’m only an expert on MY LIFE not on anything else.  You’ll be reading my thoughts, opinions, personal experiences and any advice I can offer from what I've been through and learned along the way.  That doesn't mean my life is perfect because I will be the first to say my life is far from perfect and so am I but I'm a work in progress and aiming to be better each day!
