Kellogg's Special K

Hey everyone!

I just realized that I have been too centred in my beauty and fashion post that I have been slacking on the health and food ones. But I have good news to you! I've been loving lately the special K cereal from Kellogg's.

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: Stranded on a deserted island?!

Hey everyone!

This week premièred the new episode of BVBC and this week's challenge was all about showing their vlogging skills, which need to go in hand with the ability to gain more views and make the vlog more fresh and light but always with professionalism.

The theme was, the 3 things that you would bring to a deserted Island. I will do my part on this challenge. I will list the 3 things that I would bring to a deserted island.

The number one thing I would bring is my flipflops, I don't want to get all hot and sweaty with maybe the shoes I was with when dropped there. The next thing I think could be a bow+arrow combo (very hunger-games style) to hunt down my food and maybe protect myself from something sneaky and dangerous in the island. The last but not least thing, could be a bikini cover up, because I wouldn't like to get all sunburn with my bikini that i brought already under my normal clothes, I dont think anyone would go naked to the deserted island..it just don't make sense to me. Yes, this is all that I would bring. What 3 things would you bring to a deserted island? leave it in the comments below :)

Here I leave you the new episode of Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp! ENJOY!

Have a nice day!

Boot-sy Call

Hey Everyone!

I have 2 new obsessions this winter. One is a camel and the other a black. Yes SHOES! you are right! I totally agree with the fact that the perfect shoe has to find you and not the other way around. I was walking by in a store and just found the first pair sitting there just glowing and calling for my name (a little dramatic I know, but everything just fell into place at that moment). These are the most comfortable and nicest pair of camel ankle booties I've ever owned in my life and are just adorable, they have a wedged heel so it is super easy to walk with them, they've already passed the test making me some company on my University day. 

They are absolutely adorable. Later on the month, I found myself walking by another shoe store (surprise surprise) and the most me shoe was standing in its shelf and just smiled at me. It was the second time in the month that I felt instantaneously happy. The leather was flawless and the black was perfect for every occasion. They have a 2.5 inch heel and are pretty comfortable to walk in and I am absolutely glad they crossed my path that day.  

They have a kind of cowboy boot feel to them but are still on an edge with the buckle on the side and the studs on the belt around the boot. 

I am so proud of these purchases, I was really needing some good quality heeled shoes for winter, because I was lacking of them as for every day wear. 

Have a nice week everyone! and keep an eye for new posts this week!

Fashion Internship

Hey everyone! 

I was just wondering how awesome would it be to get an internship in some part of the fashion world? For me it would be so nice and would be a great time to diversify my horizons and go and try something new apart from my management mayor. I think it would be that different also because you should know how to develop as a leader and manager in some of the projects you are in charge of, you would just be adding something girls love since playing with barbies was so much fun. Dress up, makeup, fashion in all its splendor. 

I am thinking going abroad to make one of these internships, I was thinking France, Spain, Italy or Belgium. I don't know why but I am in need to travel and learn more about fashion around the world in order to grow as a person and a professional, developing different skills and having fun while doing it. 

Ever since I saw the movie with Anne Hathaway, The Devil wears Prada, I fell in love with the fashion industry and it's perks. But, as you all know, you should always take baby steps to get to where you want to be.

I hope you are all having a nice day, here the sun has come up and it's smiling all the way.

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: Week 3

Hey everyone! 

On Tuesday the 17th aired a new episode of Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp. You may be wondering what took me so long to write a post about it, and here is the reason, i've been sick for the past days, i had horrible headaches and had to get some university work done. My life was such a joy! haha (sarcasm) 

Well, I really liked the challenge they had on for the week, Closet organization. I am a huge closet freak, sometimes I like to reorganize it and I spend less than 4 hours taking every single piece of clothing and shoes I have in it. I have two closets and a dresser which are overflown with clothes and I just enjoy so much to clean it and put it together that it is just no work at all for me. It drains me, yes, but right after I just sit on my bed and just feel that I can breath a lot better now that it is all super neat. 

They had to memorize the display of the closet in a picture and just recreate it. I think some of the contestants just where so overwhelmed by the time pressure that they just forgot everything they saw in the picture and some others just went in and did a really nice job. There is not much to say about everything else. I just thought to my self that I would've done such a great job at it that I was eager to see who did it best. 

Elle and Blair were super patient in this challenge, and I even think they wanted to help some of the contestants so that they did a better job and just don't mess the clothes more than they where. I loved this challenge and made me wonder what else could come along with the next ones. 

I hope you guys watch the new episode, and as always I will link it below for you to watch it! 

Have a great weekend!

Motivational Words: Think of the Sun

Hey guys! 

I feel like everyone has, at some point, felt like their troubles were bigger than what they could handle. For those moments of despair, when you feel that you can't breath and that the universe just don't like you at all, remember that there is always going to be something to brighten up your day. 

Don't feel down, think of all the pretty small things that life has given you, think of the people who love you, look at the flowers in the parks, look at the kids playing with their mom's and how happy they are. Sometimes are those small things that will make you go through the rough times of life.  

Every sun ray for me is a little drop of happiness. Look at sky, it doesn't matter if it is cloudy or bright, just remember the sun always comes out. Maybe not every day, but it is always there. Think that even though the clouds are overshadowing his gloriousness, he always sits high up there with no worries and hoping the friend Wind would come to blow his troubles away and together make a breezy and sunny day. 

Take a moment to reflect about why you should worry, and expect something better of each day. 

Live your life not worrying about the troubles but trying to make those problems into opportunities to become better and happier. 

I hope you are having a great day from the bottom of my heart

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: The Elimination+Ep2

Hey Everyone! 

On Tuesday, the second episode of Beauty Vlogger Boot camp aired and I was so excited to see what is next on this show. The elimination process of the previous episode consisted on the challenge of doing a full face with out a mirror in 3 or less minutes. The eliminated: Roxanne. I think their decision was a little too harsh, but at the end of the day, she did look less professional than the rest and didn't feel confident at all while performing in the challenge.   

The next challenge, was to create a stylish piece of clothing, with just a plain white T-shirt and just few tools and a couple of accessories. OH and it featured GREGORY GORGEOUS. I totally think this was a great idea for a challenge, because in that way you can get to know the contestants style and how they work under pressure to be the best as they can get. 

I loved the T-shirt from Shanice, it really added something edgy to the style and definitely knew what she wanted to do. She was determined and really pulled it off to create a great, non-traditional T-shirt. 

This episode was not filled with as much drama as the last episode was, I think they toned it down because of the amount of critiques the show received, but it is a contest show people! it has to be dramatic and has to be harsh, I stand with my position on being judgemental if you really want other to show their real potential. 

I hope this week is of your likelihood! Go watch it now! :) (link below) 

Have a great day!

Fitness Kick!

Hey Everyone! 

Today I was thinking on how I was being so lazy and doing no exercise at all. On the morning I decided to do something about it and do it NOW. So I have made myself of a little at home routine which is super easy and effective for me. 

Normally I would have done an hour long of my stationary bicycle and them do some crunches and legs and many more localized exercises. This was like 3 or 4 years ago while I was still at high-school. I have now figured out that since I am in college I left over this routine because of lack of time and it was just not in my priority list. 

Today I planned this quick, not really time consuming "fitness space" for me to do. It consists of 20 mins on my bicycle separated in 2 times a day. That makes 10 mins in the AM and 10 mins in the PM. I know it seems such a small time and that it will not do a thing for me, but as you know to go from nothing to go to something is really going to help kick start your metabolism again after a long period of time of doing nothing at all. 

Here is how it will work for me. I will try to increase the time after a couple of weeks doing this first part of 10-10, 5 more mins in each daily session. That will leave me with 30 mins of cardio daily which is nice and I will not feel it that much. It is just not that time consuming for my busy schedule and I will still have my fitness regime with my new (rediscovered) healthy eating habits. 

That is all for this post, I just wanted to let you guys know my little new routine and hope it helps you get into the fitness kick I had today specially if you are a busy person and are just lacking movement in your life! 

I hope you are having a great weekend! (just one more day to Easter!Who's excited?)

Healthy Snacks: Plain Yoghurt with Strawberries.

Hey Everyone! 

You know that feeling when you just ate something delicious and are just happy and so motivated? Well that is how I feel when I am done eating this snack. Plain Yoghurt and strawberries is so good! I eat this sometimes as my breakfast in a relatively large bowl, but also if you are hungry at some point of the day, you can grab one small dessert dish have half a cup of the natural yoghurt and half a cup of chopped up strawberries and you will feel that you got your sweet dose of food and indulged a little with less than half the calories of a regular dessert or other sweet treats. 

Sometimes I also like to grab a small coffee spoon with honey and spread it on top of the two. It is all so delicious that I am craving that right now! I think finishing this post I'll go to the kitchen and treat myself with this.

YUM! ok I'm gonna end this now to go to the kitchen! 

I hope you guys are having a pretty nice day and enjoy your weekend to come! It's Easter, enjoy it!

Polish Review: Revlon's Mad About Mango

Hey everyone!

I am back with a new Polish Review. Surprise Surprise! It's another Revlon nail polish! This time I thought to show you one of my favourite nail polish colours for spring time, that i wear through the spring and summer months.  It was from the limited edition collection of scented polishes, the first one they had out, and it is called Mad about Mango. First off, i think the idea of having scented nail polishes was cleaver but actually I don't like very much the scent of artificial mangoes...it just doesn't make justice to the real fruit. Scent apart, The colour is so pretty, it's a corall-y sort of red-ish colour going to the side of bright neon orange. Here is a picture of what it looks like: 

It is a fun colour to rock and it just makes you feel more confident about yourself and your appearance. It's not necessary for me to say this, because you all know how I feel about this brand, It is very lasting and it chips not so easily and has great pigmentation, the only side note here is that to get a very rich colour you need to do 3 coats to really appreciate it. 

I hope you have a great day!

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: The Beginning

Hey Everyone! 

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp is a new reality airing via YouTube in the channel of ulookhaute. It is hosted by Elle and Blair Fowler and is one of those shows in which people tell other people how to become what they are aspiring to do. 

Today   is the first episode and they had a really interesting Challenge, Do your Makeup with no mirror! you heard right, NO mirror AND it had to be done in 3 minutes or less. This sounds crazy but when you are in a reality tough things should be done to show skill and how professional you can be. The contestants are a very varied group of people, I was not expecting that they would allow guys in the competition and was a bit awkward, in my opinion, asking them to do their makeup... but everything in fashion and beauty is acceptable if you truly love it despite your gender or political views right? Don't take me wrong but I was expecting it to be just for girls that wanted to be immersed in the vlogging duty to show their skills and share their tips and tricks. 

Lets talk about the hosts and judges of the competition. They were the ones who gave the challenges and they are the ones in charge in judging how the contestants/participants did in each challenge from now on, they are the ones who make the decision on which participant didn't do as well as the other and that person has to go home. It's not an easy job to go around telling people that they are not good enough and I felt like Elle and Blair were having such a rough time at it. While judging you have to be completely honest and tell what you are seeing. Truth hurts right? I think people should not get into a competition if they can't handle this painful reality. But these girls I feel did a great job and looked just FAB while doing so. 

On to the prices, which is the most exiting part of it all, A collection of clothes and accessories sponsored by JustFab, Makeup from Dermstore,their own series on ULookHaute and a cash price (which they don't say the amount of it). They are all really great prices and makes sense for a beauty vlogger to get those prices. 

Over all, I think the reality is going to be filled with great moments and a lot of drama, which is a special ingredient for every reality/competition program. 

Have a great day and don't miss the Premier of the Reality Competition, Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp! (click on the image to go to the video)

Happy Monday! Yummy Foods, pretty flowers and cute puppies

Hey everyone! 

I hope your Day has been amazing and just really jump-started your week with a lot of energy and nice thoughts. Yesterday I had to study for my first Finance class test and I think I did pretty good on it. I have a 10 min. bridge right now before I head on to class. 

Lets get this post started. (well I think I already did, but lets get to the important part)

Today I ate a really good and home-made spring spaghetti with Parmesan  cheese and for dessert I had a cheese cake sort-of cake with orange jelly on top. It was so good and healthy which is the best part. Well the dessert might have been the unhealthy part of it, but it's ok to have a small piece and not deprive yourself. 

Earlier in the morning, I was walking to class and found some pretty flowers on the side of the street and loved them, unfortunately I didn't had my camera with me but I will insert a picture sometime this week. 

And as my day is coming to an end, sleepy puppies are the best thing to smile at and make you feel a lot less stressed. 

Aren't they so so cute? little cupcakes of love <3 (Queenie & Cinderella) 

I hope you have a great week!
