Valentine's day 2015

Valentine's day has never been my favorite time of year, but this time around, still hasn't changed much. Is not because I don't like what it means and represents, but it is just that this time come up the hearts, oversized bears that occupy 90% of the bed, consumerism at it's best, and businesses trying to get all the attention for people to spend more money than they actually have for the "idea" that if you spend the most, you'll get more love and pamper your partner. 

In the end, Valentine's day is a special occasion to celebrate all the love you have around but most importantly, it shound't be just a day, love should be celebrated all the time. If you love someone, show them by the little things you can do, or say, or just don't say, just be there. 

Sometimes actions are worth more than words and have a major impact on the people you love than those expensive gifts that anyone could buy.

I am a helpless romantic. I tend to be in-love with love. I guess you all knew that already.

But enough said about the commercial part of the day and lets get to the love part of the day.

I had an amazing day with the people I care the most and at night I got a really awesome gift of half a dozen roses delivered by someone very very special for me who came in to my life as unexpected as rain in a draught. We went out dancing with a couple of friends and it was really great getting to spend time with him and actually, having him around makes everything better.

I will leave you here with a picture.

I hope you spent an amazing weekend. Cause I surely did. 

Short hair don't care.

A few weeks ago I went to my hair dresser and had a major cut. I mean I cut my hair (my hair dresser did) and I couldn't be happier!

I feel fresh and light now, I need to trim it again soon, it's been almost a month and I want it short for some time.

After having it long all my life (at least 6 good years or more) it was time for me to change it up. It was not a big deal, but I needed a subtle but comfortable turn of events. I got rid of my layers and that was it.

here a picture :) (please ignore the duck face that is not as noticeable as it was intended but still embarrassing)

See, a little under shoulder length. 

That was my mayor change.

Top knots, messy buns

I feel that they are getting a little too over rated. But who am  I kidding? I just love them, specially for summer time.

I have seen a lot of these being rocked in red carpets, in the streets, by celebs, commoners and even people that might go by like wallflowers (have you seen the movie or read the book? i have not but I want to read the book) 

They can be classy, they can be toned down, they are super high and sometimes just not that much. They are versatile to whatever occasion you need to wear them. And now that Christmas parties are here you can wear them as differently as you wish. 

Here are some of my favorite top knots and messy buns 

How cute is the puppy?! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! 

Miley's Hair..what's going on?

I know it's been a few weeks now, but I just wanted to address this. What is going on with Miley's hair? I think she went a little too far with the I am a grown up, I do what I want with my hair view, but seriously it's such a dramatic change, I am not getting any more used to seeing her like this: 

too blond and too short, I liked her brown long curly and healthy hair. It made her look younger and fresh. 

I am not saying that she doesn't look great, but it is just something very very new. It's like that time when Emma Watson went in to the hair dresser and came out with this pixie hair cut. She still looked great, but it was something ver very very different from what we were used to seeing her with. 

It seems that some celebs just want to break out from their roles that made them mega famous. 

have a great day!

Hair up? or hair down?

I am one of the people that like her hair down better, but i also like it put together in a braid or in a pony tail. 

There are a lot of styles of up do's that you can rock, in summer specially so that your hair is not making you sweat, which happens a lot because you feel you have a scarf or something like that covering your neck and maybe your back (if you have really long hair like I do). 

There are knots, buns, high braids, French twisted braided knots and many more. 

For a more sophisticated look the buns are super cute to draw the attention to the dress you are wearing. Like this ones:

 

Or maybe more casual looks, messier and sexier like the following ones: 

Or maybe you like to braid your hair and feel more comfortable wearing them: 

So tell me, how do you like your hair to be better? in an updo or your hair down?
