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.

Therapy: To Shop

When a girl is stressed, she buys things to make that feeling go away. 

I am the living proof of it. 

I just came home from a shopping spree with my parents and it was so relaxing. I am 2 days away from midterms and I am stressed to the top level. Horrible. We bought some things for the house and some groceries too. 

I found the cutest sweater in the kids section that was large enough to fit me and that was a very good deal. 

Do you like to free your mind shopping? What do you do to relieve stress?

Midterms. Done.

Probably these are the most stressful exams I've took in my life...well maybe not, but they where really close to be THE ones. I had way too much to read. I will probably learn from this and read ahead and study each class by the date. If the midterms were this hard for me, I don't want to imagine just yet how the Finals are going to be. I learned my lesson, don't worry. 

Today, I wanted to talk about the bag that I have been carrying for midterms. It is the most pretty rosy, baby pink-ish huge bag. I know, you're probably (I feel I've repeated this word like a million times already) wondering, why on earth you carry that big of a bag for midterms? Well the answer is, because I had two tests every day, and inbetween them I had one or one and a half hours to review the concepts for the upcoming one. Some of the reading I had online, so I needed to get hold of them. Plus, I have this small notebook where I write my summaries and it is just perfect. 

I am a crazy girl, and love big bags even if I don't need to carry them. Plus, my bags are always heavy...who knows why...

Of course I had to have my hand sanitizer  with me!

It is so huge and I feel the picture does no justice to it. 

I've had it for 2 or 3 years now, and It's been worn so much. It already has some parts where it's peeling, I might have to retire her soon and take her to be renewed and taken care for. The brand is Navigata, I think you can get this brand only in Latin America, but I am not positive about it so don't take my word on it. It is so well made that  it is crazy the price I payed for it. I think it was like an equivalent of 30 US$ or less (plus it was on sale!) 

I hope you guys enjoyed knowing which bag I carried during my torture week! 

what bag do you carry?

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!

Midterm Blues: A cure.

When I am having a bad day of studying, or well an intense study day to say it better, hahaha, i always find myself getting really depressed and hating my life at the moment. Midterms can be stressful enough alone and to add up the whole lot of readings and summarizing to do, is just not pretty nor pleasant. That's why guys! let me tell you! Study way ahead so you're not suffering like me right now! 

Well enough with the rant. I came to speak of a cure, yes I am in deed a little expert on how to cure my blues. I just eat sweet things. I go on the hunt of candy, some gummy's work. If there is nothing at all in my house, which is rare, I stage some sweet diversion. For example, Yesterday I made a banana sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and some blue berries, that I microwaved for like 30 seconds (just a rough count) and TADA! dessert was ready! It made my mood change and gave me some more energy to keep up and to be able to keep my eyes open longer. 

what is your way to cure any kind of blues?
