Health | GM Diet Diary: Day 4

Oh boy.

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 | Bannana, Raisins & Oatmeal

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

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! 

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! 

Fresh and New

So you may have already noticed, SKMS has had a makeover! I am pretty pleased with the end result. 

I wanted something that reflected more my style and my life at the moment. Where I could portray how I am trying to balance everything that is going on now. I still love purple, I am trying to gravitate more towards other colors that are also inspiring me. 

I was planing a makeover, literally for the longest time, I just had no time to sit and think and picture it all in my mind. 

I hope you fall in love with it as much as I am loving it now. 

22

It feels like a perfect time and yes, it is my Birthday today! I am turning 22 years old. It feel surreal, i can't believe how fast time has flown by. In about a month or so I will begin my senior year of University, I am already working, my family is always great and supportive and I feel like I owe them everything that I am now. 

It is hard to try and foresee my future, but I will just let life take me along, and who would've thought that right at this moment it is going through so many changes. Those changes, that are sometime scary and overwhelming, make people grow. And that is what is going on. Growing to be a better person from everything that is going to happen that has already happened, those past experiences and should not weigh us down, instead they should make us stronger and willing to try new things and deal with everything. And if one fails, never stop, at one moment you will succeed and everything will be worth it. 

Now that I am 22, I look back at how much has happened and how much more mature I am, without loosing my true self. Yes I may know more about life, but I am still a helpless romantic, a little kid at heart too (I love cartoons, I love Disney, I love the Flintstones and I love ice-cream among other things).  

22 is going to be great, as much as 21 has been awesome. 

Lets go life, I'll follow you where ever you take me. 

<3 

Thank you for all your support and for following me on my rambles and my randomness.

Wondering wondering

My mind is disperse all around the place. Do you never look back and see at a past relationship and wonder what if? What if you didn't break up with that person? what would your path be? How would you be handling the situation at this exact moment? 

A lot of doubts come to mind when thinking what could have happened. And so as to think what could become of it.

And also, what do you think of falling in love with the wring person which ends up being the right one? Depends on your definition of right and wrong but it all starts to make sense doesn't it? 

The reason I am being so random with this is that yesterday I had a dream. Don't ask me if it was a good one or a bad one because I can't really tell that myself. I dreamed about Julia Robert's My Best friend's wedding. Yeah, so bizarre. I don't even know where that came from due to the fact that I have not seen anything related to it and specially the movie in so long. Is my mind playing some sort of delusional prank on me? or what is going on?

What ever it is that my mind is trying to do to my sanity, I just wondered but would it be if I took different paths, made other decisions and kept on going?

What would have happened now? where would I've been today? would I have been sitting here writing this? Would I marry that one person that made me feel awesome at the time? Would I have learned the things I learned in the path that I am now?

Who knows, but in the end, I am glad that nothing stayed the same, that I have this life now and I wouldn't want it any other way. Many things may arise in the future, but change is not bad at all. Scary. OBVIOUSLY. but not bad.

Do you ever have this doubts?

I hope you have an awesome start of the week <3

Proud.

My days have been quite interesting. I have a lot of mood swings but they are quite good for me in some very, very weird ways. 

But now enough about me. I am feeling very proud. I will not mention the names of the people that are making me proud for some reasons. 

Friends, they are the most important part of our lives. With them you laugh, you cry, you do crazy stuff and never regret it. This is why I am proud. Because of my friends. The friends that are achieving great results from their paths and having fun while doing it. Because it is with passion that they come to the world of adulthood (as I like to call it) and face the challenges. Some have meltdowns, some just extreme joyfulness, but with every step of the way they are learning. With the challenges they face, the tears (may they be of joy or of stress) and the laughs, they all move forward, at their own speed and pace but they are all achieving their goals. 

Being students of medicine, film making, law, management, marketing, fashion, design, photography, you name it, seem to have different effects on each one. And it shows, as we have grown in to our own skin the way we each see the world is a unique and full-of-possibility universe. We all bring our experiences together and that is why we are part of a great friendship. 

As lost as we all may find ourselves in the way, friends make it all better and help to find that perspective we needed at a time. I love my friends, I love how they are growing in their skins, and maybe breaking through to be great at what they are doing. Struggling is part of the deal of making your way though life, but even greater is to overcome it and face it. 

What are you guys proud of today?

Update + Current Favorites

Hello there! I have been pretty busy these past days, Midterms are here and I'm studying my butt off! 

Gosh I never expected to read so much right now. But in the end it is totally going to be worth it. There is nothing more rewarding than achieving good grades for all the effort you put into it. I believe that having these little gratifications in life is huge to increase your self-esteem. 

On another topic, makeup wise, I've been loving my Revlon Creme shadows that I've had for a while now, I am using them pretty much every day, I feel they are super versatile and nice and they don't crease (at least not that I can see them much). I have them in two palettes, Precious Metals and Moonlit Jewels. They are so pretty and good quality too. So if you get a chance to try them, go buy them. (I'm a big Revlon sucker as you may have already noticed!) 

See? I've already hit pan in some of them :) 

Another favorite of mine has been gummy bears, which are the cure for my Midterm Blues! The amount of sweet is just the best way to keep me going and it makes me a little hyperactive, but well, I think I've had way too many of them today...I feel woozy hahaha! 

To go ahead with accessories, I've been loving my black ankle booties, the cow-girl style ones. They are so comfy and are a great to walk and take my exams on! (as if I took my exams running LOL) 

I think that's all for today! I hope you are having great weekend!

Workout Playlist 7

As I've been sick as a mad woman has, I've been working long hours in my laptop rather than my usual Desktop that I use on a daily basis. So not all my music is here and my iPod just passed to a better life (I need an upgrade badly) therefor I have some other music here and I was listening to it and got inspired. To start the week more positive and active, here are my five favorite songs I re-discovered! :)

1) Imperfect is the new perfect- Caitlin Crosby

2) Who owns my heart- Miley Cyrus

3) Say you don't want it- One Night Only

4) What doesn't kill you- Kelly Clarkson 

5) In my head- Jason Derulo 

Emma Watson in the video of Say you don't Want it from One Night Only

Have an awesome day!

Saturday's Daydream

Hey Everyone!

Last night I was watching this movie "Ratatouille". I loved everything about it. It made me laugh so hard that my abdominal muscles were sore in the morning when I woke up. I was now wondering what would it be like to be a chef and get your career started in Paris, the world's capital of gourmet food. 

If I was a chef, I would certainly do a specialization in fine pastries.  They are smooth and very detailed and have to have a good hand to do so and to make them look, not only pretty, but also yummy. My sweet tooth speaking now! 

if you were to be a chef, what would your specialization consist in?

I hope you are having a great day!
