Health | Staying sane

As many of you may know already, I have struggled a lot with my weight, it is a little repetitive but here I can feel free to speak out what bothers me and what not.

Life | 26 and moving forward

I am now 26, which feels no different than 25, and no different than 24 felt at the time. 

Life is always a journey, one that has ups and downs, good and bad parts, fears and insecurities, but it's a hell of a ride. 

Travel | Miami Bound

We have travelled a couple of times to Miami in the past year and oh boy, it has been amazing every time. I love the weather, the sun, the beach, driving, everything.

Health | GM Diet Diary: Day 2

After having an awfully hangry day on day 1, I can say that day 2 was not that bad. I felt a little more energized, a bit more bubbly and a wee bit more productive. Everything went pretty well.

Fitness | Falling off the band-wagon

Health and fitness has been a major part of my life for the past few years. Not this time, it isn't.

Life | Hot mess

Remember that time I wrote I was back? Sorry to disappoint. I been just a hot, hot mess.

Life | Things happen

After a long hiatus, I am back!

 

Fitness | Lacking motivation

Today I will tell you all that I am not motivated at all to eat right and much less, working out. 

Life | 25 years

July 10, 2016

I turned 25.

25 years of happy moments, some sad but in the most part of it, an amazing time to learn and grow.

Food | Berry Crumble Pie

A week ago my mom and I were craving something sweet and with berries.

We went on the hunt for the berries and the rest of the ingredients to bake something along the lines of a pie and a crumble.

Food | Bannana, Raisins & Oatmeal

Being in a healthy kick and trying to eat more consciously and less processed foods. 

Food | Infused Water

I tried a couple of weeks ago something that has been popping up in my pinterest searches a lot. Infused waters.

Change in life.

The more things I try to get done, the more things I start imagining and the more things I want to do. 

There is no exact balance to what I do. I go out, I work, I am trying to manage in a better way this blog and also trying to get some other projects done therefore I am battling with the fact that I like sleeping a lot and the fact of having way more things to do than usual. 

Transitions and changes are tough, but if you have a support system right by your side (your loved ones, either family, friends and a love interest) which is strong and are there for you no matter what, it will be much easier.

So today, I want to tell you all that changes are good. Don't be affraid of them. Take the chances that you are presented with and never look back. Everything is going to go great as long as you work hard. But I have to let you know that failure is a possibility, not because you didn't try hard enough, or work hard enough or have the passion enough. It is there, always present, but use it to learn from it and get the strength to pick yourself back up and keep going. 

Here is where I get to motivate me, and do some changes. The blog will be changing. It will be transitioning into something else, without loosing its main goal. Starting with the name, which is going to be a little different than it has been now. This change might be visible in the next few days and will go more accordingly to who I am, and my signature in the internet world. 

To begin with just telling you this about the name, is amazing. There are far more things that are coming, but fear not, I will be spilling the beans little by little. 

I hope you all have a great weekend. Valentine's day is tomorrow, big plans ahead. and have a great time with the ones you love the most! 

Journal

Writing is a way to escape from a part of my life and a way to relax after several events going on with it. Sometimes we write a journal, a diary, moods, on paper, on a sticky-note, in our phones, in a tablet, on a word document, in twitter, in facebook and all the social media which involves the art of drawing thoughts with the written word. 

For me, writing in a more public way in the internet is a risk, of people I know reading everything that goes through my mind and even sometimes people who I have no idea on who they are read all of it and I am not sure why they keep reading. 

After some time being mute in the blog, my feeling was "man I miss this". This is my journal, my everyday escape from a part of reality which I don't hate, but neither loath to death. Writing is a passion. I have several projects which involve the written word in several aspects, where I can pour my imagination and my experience with the one love I have. 

Here a fragment of one of my most secret projects yet, which I won't reveal just yet, but wanted to have it on record here. 

"What is a dream after all? A dream is what your heart desires and your brain makes an image of it and flashes it while sleeping, or even while being awake, like an endless movie that just needs to continue." 

The writing might be sloppy, but it is still a working project which needs to be taken care of in order for it to grow. 

I feel somewhat attached to the story line which I have been creating for a while for dreams we dream and lives impossible to avoid. 

I hope you liked a little of it. 

Disclaimer: All opinions are my own, the extract is part of a project I'm working on at the moment. It is all my creative work. 

Run

On a rather gloomy Sunday morning I decided it was time to run. It was really refreshing and I had fun at it. It was the first time I ran in the morning and I feel brand new. 

Here a peak of my neighborhood's park: 

I will start doing this more often than not, whenever I have the time during the week. I feel motivated and full of energy after that. 

Hope you spend a great Sunday! 

New Face

You may have noticed the new image of the blog. I wanted something simple, sleak and with not so much going on. I opted for just a gray background image with a little of texture and just some fun pops of color with the links and titles.

Cheers!

I felt it was time for a change as new transitions and exciting things are going on with my life and learning to love the simplicity and little things which come with new beginnings.

Cheers to new beginnings and for the new image of SKMS.



S.A

Ending it right.

This week has been an emotional roller coaster. Don't yo ujust hate it when that happens? Ups, downs, turns, cero gravity and finally, it stops all of a sudden? Maybe we don't realize how big or small those impacts are in our lives but sometimes they just pin point things that may be happening or things that already passed and you didn't notice. 

But as all things that can and may go wrong, small details are the ones that create a whole something and make you smile, just for a little while through it all.

Never let negativity and trouble bring you down. Maybe from that experience you can take something and learn from it.

Pretty things to make you smile this Friday are about to come.

Have a nice day and a great weekend. 

Winter Love

I have the strangest of all relationships with weather I have ever seen or known of. I hate summer when it is too long and I just can't wait for winter to roll around so that I can take my big warm clothes (or buy new one) and layer them and just be cozy all.day.long. But when that time comes, were leaves are falling, the wind becomes chilly and skies are just completely clowd-packed. I just love it. And also, hate it. (I have trouble believing that I am a sane person for several reasons and then I realize that being normal is completely boring) It happens all over again, when it becomes too long, too freezing and too repetitive. To be honest, it just complicates my mind, my mood and my wardrobe! (I run out of combinations to put together in an outfit, but that aint all, it just makes me feel under the weather and my productivity lowers in about 10% which is not good). 

I have to say, right now I am loving the weather transition but is making me go bananas! But the clothes, oh the clothes. This has lead me to make an importante wardrobe change because of size reduction which is great for my ego, but not for my wallet. 

Hope you have a great time wherever you are and also that you don't hate/love the weather as I do.

Current Status: Stressed

For so long, and after being 2 months or so apart from the blogging world, I finally sat down, and decided to start writing even though I had no plan on doing so and therefore my rambles will be here on and on and on again.

My mood: Meeh
My hopes: underground
My dreams: semi-starstruck
My goals: on hands reach
My spirits: not so good
My motivation: needs improvement

picture from here. 

I have this strange urge to sit down and write my heart out in poems and in little verses and phrases. Maybe it is this mix of feelings overflowing my mind, that maybe my heart can handle but my brain is not prepared to. On Sunday I had a major break down, life is just not loving me right now, in every single aspect it tries to screw me over. I need some chill time. I will try to relax (but i think that there are waaay too many things on my plate right now that my mind is just not wanting to respond as it should).

Ramblings and rants stop here.

Almost fine now that I poured my frustrations here, things can get a little more cheerful, but not now, maybe from the next post onward.

Have a good day, I'll try to have one too.

Not an apology nor an excuse.

It has been waaaaaay too long since I posted here. I have nothing to say about it, just that I have been running around like a crazy person and my batteries were always running low by the time I got home. I had no energy therefore no imagination to sit down to write a lengthy blog post or even a small one with pictures in it.

Today is a Sunday of my so-not-summer-vacations from University, and as my last semester approaches, and work is more hectic than ever, I decided that this was enough and started writing. I really do miss time for myself like this, and I feel that in the way I have lost my writing essence. It feels odd and like rusty with the time that has passed by. The last post was on November!? Say what? I have to catch up on a lot of things with all of you, and I will be posting bits and pieces here and there.

Although I haven't been absent on my other social media like instagram and twitter, I feel like nothing compares to writing in a more chit-chatty form which is more familiar and friendly to all. I am not good at wrapping things up, so I will just say...till later alligator!

Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Belated New Year to all!
