HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2013

It is that time of year again and I wanted to say happy thanks giving day, the day to be thankful for everything that you have specially the people you surround yourself with let it be friends, family and more!

I am thankful for each one of you who are reading this blog at the moment, and of those not reading it too, and for every little chance that life has given me to be there for the ones I love and to be almost finishing up my career which is going to be the next big milestone in my life at the time. I am also thankful because everyday I get to see amazing things happen and of the great things that are to come. 

Keep that in mind. 

now a funny thing I found! ENJOY 

I hope you have an awesome time :) 

How to deal with...

I should warn you..This was written a couple days ago when my stress level was on it's peek. I was hesitant to post it, but I will anyways cause they were my most genuine feelings at that moment. Right Now I am feeling good and loving some me time. 

Friends drama is one thing and Family drama is another whole different thing. There are good days, bad days and the days in between. I am on a stress note here, since Monday I have been having anxiety and a reoccurring small headache. Plus work, plus university PLUS a household that seems to be falling apart because we can't deal enough with the things we have to do, is just not doing it for me, I can't concentrate, I can't sleep much and that is something I cannot cope with. I can barely do a thing on here but the people who are supposed to make the decisions are just not making them. I sometime wished that I could just go to sleep and make it all go away, the problems, the anxiety, the stress. 

Don't get me wrong, I am trying to hold it together, but today I just can't, I can't do it any more.  And here is my small rant about my life at the moment. 

I have been a good daughter (at least I try my best), a good student (which my grades can speak for themselves) and a good friends (to those who really matter to me, at least I am trying hard not to neglect them). All this is just starting to seem to me that I can't cope with some of the real stress-factors going on right now. I just want to give up and catch a plane to an almost deserted Island with a good book, some music and tons of sunscreen and do NOTHING. NOTHING at all. I need my peace of mind right now, which seems to be just slipping through my fingers every second that goes by.

That was the end, at least of my rant about how awful my life felt at that time, I didn't even finished writing this because I was so angry and broken. But it felt good to release all that negativity that was floating around my head. 

I hope you had a great Monday and keep up positive energy coming your way.

Update + feeling festive

Hello to everyone, adults, kids, the elderly and who ever is reading ts now! I really appreciate how everyone have been patient for the lack of posting! i can't believe it's been so long since I wrote. I have noticed that the gaps between each post is starting to be ridiculous and I feel ashamed.

This semester is my next-to-last and it has gotten out of hand! it is super tough! and a couple of classes are beating me up! one is numbers and the other is strategic planing. Plus work, it all seems to have gotten an effect on me.

On the bright side, it is already November, there are just a few weeks left for the year to end...and that is where my festive spirit is coming from. If you follow me on twitter, you will already know that I am almost done with my Christmas shopping which is super important for me, cause I have been, in the previous years, running around like a headless chick, to get it all together! but this year is so much different than the other and I am just feeling it and I am on a roll! There are just a few little things that I need, but those are just minor things.

I feel I have grown so much this past couple of months in terms of responsibilities, that I need just a little breather moment and being all festive helps very much on that matter.

 

 I hope you have all been well, and that are enjoying the christmas airs that are around this time!

Organization Kick: what am I turning into?!

My room has been pretty unattended lately, I have no energy nor time to put an order to it and it is just doing whatever it wants. It feels like nothing I try to do to make it a little more tidy than it is, the next day it looks like a hurricane just appeared from thin air and destroyed it. I am lacking of organization space and lacking of storage and better closet space.


I am going to start saving up to hire someone and build me an appropriate closet and some shelves and other things that I need so that I have a place for everything.

here is a small peek to what it looks like:

just a small portion of my shoe collection 

only a fraction of my handbag craze. 

As you can see, I have too much stuff and little space to work with! I need a makeover in organization and storage ASAP! 

Kiss Kiss Baby Lips

I just got my hands on the Maybelline's Baby Lips for the first time. Things arrive pretty late where I live so yeah, that is another story. 

Fashion Sketches: Valentino

1//2//3//4

Some of my favorite fashion sketches from Valentino above. I am just in love with the lines and the composition of them which portray the essence of the brand and of the man him-self!

Being Marilyn

I am not the kind of girl that likes to go all out for halloween or even to dress up as anything. This year, It is different, I want to dress up as Marilyn Monroe! The Diamonds are a girls' best friend one is just lovely, girly and comfortable for me to wear! 

Eventhough I might end up not dressing up, it is definitely my N°1 choice if I do.

Do you have any idea on what would your costume be if you end up at a halloween party? Let me know in the comments :)

Boo! with some glam

Pretty pumpkins for a glamorous Halloween! 

how do you feel about them?

Amazing Things going on.

For the past few weeks my mom and I embarked on a new life style. I know I've talked about how we were trying to be healthier before, but we failed every time. But this time is different. We have been very strict about it and we are loving it. So let me tell you about this whole new health path that crossed our ways. 

Balance it out

I should be writing a lengthy paper right now. But I am not inspired. Period. I had a difference of opinion early in the day and it really made me think.



We are sometimes so involved in everything we do, call it work, classes, being in love, or whatever, that sometimes we just need to breath for a bit, and relax, even if it means 5 minutes to just have a blank mind and do nothing and just stare at the ceiling like it is the most amazing thing you've ever seen. Well, I am taking a break for about 10 minutes which is the amount of time I normally take to write a pretty random blog post like this, this one came out of the blue and I said, "Screw the paper! I will just write this and take a deep breath!" Since I have been neglecting you guys a little (read: more than usual) I wanted to communicate and free myself a bit.

Back to the point, finding balance is like a never ending decision making. Either you have one thing or another, let me illustrate you:

Either you sleep when you have the time, or you don't sleep and go hang out with people, if you hangout, then you don't sleep. Not a good combination for those who study, work and want to have a social active life. Then sleep is definitely compromised.

But sometimes no sleep is not good for your sanity, you'll end up treating everyone badly, and perform poorly in everything you do.

I have a post in mind to follow this one and it involves a very brilliant 31 year old entrepreneur, and you'll see what I am trying to say.

For now, I am wrapping up this ramble and let you be done with the torture of reading it hahah!

Have a great day

Battery On

You know what is the thing that makes my day really bad? Having a dead phone and having no place to charge it. No wall, No computer, No car...

Food.Good.Food

Have you ever tried Alpaca meat? well I had never tried it till yesterday! It was amazing!

That is the only thing I have to say about it. IT was SO GOOD.

In other news, I am busy as busy can get, this semester is CRAZY, but it is so worth it. I am only a few months away from graduating University and as they go by I am one step closer to reaching my goals.

I have to concentrate now and keep on doing some school work and work stuff.

I hope you are enjoying everything that is coming your way!

Do's and Don't's at University #1

This is is going to be a new series in the blog about the Do's and Don't's at university or college. One Do and one Don't will be posted in a series of posts (sorry for the redundancy).

Beneath the Glitter.

I purchased yesterday the book and I have already finished it. It was a fun, light and girly read. The plot line was nice, the type to make you forget your hard days and just breath in some light and sheer pink novel to make it all better.

HERE IS WHERE THE SPOILER ALERT BEGINS!

App love: Kindle edition.

Today I will share another app that I am loving. And is one that can be downloaded to your pc, your laptop, your tablet and your phone with no need of buying the actual device. Amazon is just great for launching it. I am just smitten. 

What to pick? Beauty Sponges vs. Foundation Brushes

Pampering time: Chanel products

I am all about wearing makeup. I don't use it myself everyday, but every once in a while, for special occasions, or just a random day of the week, is good for me. It gives that little boost of confidence you need and it just makes you act your part a little better when you need to be fully drawn into your daily to do's. But it may be tricky if you are not used to wearing it! It happened to me once. I was not fully aware that my face was all dolled up, I yawned and rubbed my eyes... yes, you might guess what happened next. I looked like a raccoon. Horrible, horrible thing, so that is why I am extra cautious and extra aware of my every move.  

This post is about what I would love to have in my collection for that extra pump. Specially from Chanel. Lets hop into it. 

1. Blush in JOUES CONTRASTE, shade 72 Rose Initiale

2. Lipstick, ROUGE COCO, shade 05 Mademoiselle 

3. Eyebrows pencil, CRAYON SOURCILS, shade 30 Brun Naturel

4. Makeup Remover, DÉMAQUILLANT YEUX INTENSE

Those are the products I would love to pamper myself with at some point, and the price ranges are not that bad, I might start with the eye makeup remover. You can check these and more products here. 

I hope you are enjoying your day, cause I am certainly doing so!

Weekend in review

I loved this weekend, it was really just all about chilling, relaxing and resting the stress of the week out of my mind and of my body. Yesterday all I did, literally, was stay in bed and just got up for a shower and to eat. 

In that time I spent just chilling there, I rediscovered one app in my iPhone I have been just neglecting. It was keek. Keek is that little app in which you record a short 36 second clip about anything you want. I am not a keeker, I haven't uploaded any. But, I do enjoy other people's keeks. My favorite people to follow? Any guesses here? Well if you said the Kardashians/Jenners, you guessed right. I just love me some Kardashian drama and laughs and craziness. I also follow Keegan Allen just because I love him! who doesn't? I am a huge Pretty Little Liars fan, but I love Toby the most out of all the PLL cast. 

I literally loved this weekend as I have already stated. I couldn't be happier, plus today i am putting together my timetable for this upcoming semester at Uni. Excited excited!

Surviving Finals

Yes, I survived and pretty much with awesome grades! I believe that hard work had lead to it and lead me to get an awesome internship where I am learning lots and lots of new things and being able to know more about what my major is all about.
