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!
I am so excited because lately some of my favorite people are vlogging every day!! Say WHAT? yes, some of my favorite YouTube vloggers are doing this and it all started this week! plus, one of them has an awesome Mercedes-Benz!
My week has just been made! and I love to procrastinate in a way, so that is perfect!!
Blair Fowler's daily videos! here is the first one if you want to watch!
ps. how cute is teddy?
andddd Jen Ross's Vlogidays 2012!! also, first video if you want to watch it :)
yup, youtube gone wild! and ofcourse there is wayyyy more people vlogging every day! but just a couple of examples from my subscription box.
It's August already! I can't believe how fast July has come and go. As the month gets to a start, Back to School is just weeks around the corner (or maybe just few days around it!). I have already worked out my class schedule and find it a very nice and relaxed one. I will have good amount of times to space my working commitments!
This is a post where I wanted to tell you that I will do some back to school posts to help everyone going back to classes a little more all from Fashion to School Supplies, which are always a must (DUH!). I am starting my Junior year of University, so this posts might be more focused in that matters but also on high school because that is the most that I can remember from previous years.
I still love to go supply shopping and am like a little kid left alone in a candy store! let's face it, I still am a little kid at heart.
I hope you will enjoy the posts about back to school and if you have any suggestions please let me know in the comments below or through my contact information.
I am a crazy student when it comes to organize everything and wanting to know what to do with my time. With all the tasks and exams and tests and presentations it always comes in handy to have an agenda that will make you have everything sorted out.
For this year, I've bought one really nice and it was cheap and I just love it. It was hand made and is covered in fabric. A very original one and a very representative style from the Peruvian Highlands. It has a complete page for a day and goes from January to December.
The academic year here starts on March and ends the first days of December. In University we have two semesters, one starting the month mentioned at the beginning (March) and the other semester beginning on August (that was quite a representation haha)
I buy an agenda every year! I just can't live without one because I'm pretty sure I will miss out on a lot of things to do. I might not even show up to a TEST! which would be a tragedy. I actually don't get how some people remember everything they have to do without one..or maybe they just don't...huh? well this is the current one I'm using and I feel it's so good and pretty. It is cushioned even!
It's small and great to throw in your purse and have it with you all day. Normally I will write in it with a blue or black pen, I am really weird about that but what I like to do is to use highlighters when I need to mark the things I have already done for the day (as you may see in some of the pages in blue highlighter).
Tell me if you'd like me to do some post about my University life experience or else related with my career and such! I would be pleased to answer and share my experiences with you guys!
It's been a little too long since I posted something in this blog. Now, as Thursdays are my free day in which I get to catch up with some school work, readings and well personal stuff, guess what? you fit in perfectly!
I have been watching this awesome YouTube channel called organizedlikejen and has inspired me to become a little more organized specially since I began university again. I just started my weekly planner in which I have all my to do school work and tests for the week and printed out monthly planner in which I have a complete overview of the things I have due in the month and see how I can fit more or less projects and activities.
I've been in this crazy Organization Plan the few past weeks but just didn't knew how to start it. Thank God I found about Jennifer and the Light came to me! I could see much clearer what I need and did not need.
In terms of what I did to keep all my class notes and my agenda is maybe a subject that I can spend on hours talking about it because I love that way it all turned out. I can't say that I am super neat and well..organized but it works for me so that I am a happier and mentally healthier student. Yay for it!
On a side note, I had a horrible incident that has to do with one of my pinky toes (to be precise, the right one). Well, my dad was headed out for work and when he came all happily to say good-bye to his lovely daughter (aka;ME) I stood up and took 1 step forward and he had done so too. SO in that moment is when I felt it, his shoe crashed with my pinky toe and the nail just SNAPPED and CRACKED! and it was the most painful thing I had felt in all of my life. Not to be dramatic but the pain run through my nerves and it was all just awful. My dad felt horrible and was saying to me are you OK? do you want to go to the Doctor? Is it bleeding? And Luckily it was not bleeding and was just a minor nail issue but it did hurt oh so very badly. But everything is fine and it has just a plaster covering the nail just in case it gets tangled with any other thing and just end up falling out.

I have seen this on the internet for several days in a row, about this project of making Joseph Kony, an African war criminal who abducts children from their homes making them killers and sexual slaves to maintain his army the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army), "famous" so that everyone get to know the atrocities he has committed for over 2 decades and to let him know that the international police has put a price on his head, not a monetary price but a price which will determine the end of abusive ruling and heart-less crimes to make the world that we live in a better place for ourself and our children.
It is not nice to have to run from place to place with the fear of getting caught and killed if you escaped his Army. These children have the right to a better future and to a life worth living with no abuse and slaughtering. No other person has the Ultimate word on whether you should live or die.
Think about yourself, running from a person who wants to kill you and your siblings or abduct you to force you commit horrible acts such as killing your own parents, the people who love you the most on the whole planet in order to fulfil his mindless, cold hearted desires.
That's what this project is all about. Ending this Horrible era that was little to no known few years back. A short Film/Documentary has aired in the most popular social networks and has become viral in just few days, it was published on March 5th 2012 and has over 26 million views. The Invisible Children Organization was formed in response to the LRA and its horrific acts. It has been working to end the armed conflict for 9 years and gained a great response with the documentary mentioned previously. If you haven't seen it yet here it is, it is long but very explanatory and very moving:
Spread the world so that everyone get to know about it #STOPKONY.
It Does not matter whether you live in Canada, Pakistan, Iran, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Rep. Russia or else where, it is a matter that concerns us all as a society with no discrimination, we are all human and were born with rights. Support the cause, have a heart and pass it on.
Today I have a long day and it is probably the second longest day I have in the week. Yesterday (Wednesday) I had class from 3 pm till 11 pm and had 3 hours of free periods where I had to take something to eat. What I did was take a small portion of what has been left from lunch and ate it at 7 pm when I felt hungry. It was just a small portion just to keep my tummy feeling good and I bought some hot chocolate as my drink.
And today (Thursday) I have class from 2 pm till 9 pm and have 1 hour free in which i will take also a small portion as my dinner so in that way i have no need to eat when I get home at 10 pm, at that time I will only drink a cup of coffee.
I had to figure this type of things out because I couldn't last long enough without eating and feeling hungry. It is not healthy for your body to feel hungry because it will just start building up the calories because it enters into starvation mode in which it says that "ok i have to save food and calories because i might not receive any, any time soon".
So i hope you liked this fast little blog about what I am doing since yesterday when I have this long days of classes in which i have to spend a lot of time away from home and don't want to eat the food at the cafeteria which is just not healthy at all.
i was searching the internet and kind of stumbled upon an amazing site that shows how to balance your food and making it fresh ans not boring at all. http://www.healthyfoodtips.org/ shows how to plan a meal and which foods to combine in order to take a full vitalizing and vitamin intake of good foods. They help to keep your body free of bad stuff such as saturated fats that, if consumed too much, can fill your arteries and block them with the grease and cause heart attacks, embolisms and more.
It is a good thing that more people are being aware of what they eat so that the obesity is taken over with healthy choices and the life expectancy is longer.
Now i also found a good site that talks about the 10 healthiest foods in the world and I was amazed with it and realized that we sometimes just don't know the benefits a banana has or a kiwi, which are really good. http://www.livestrong.com/article/89515-healthiest-foods/ It is a study from the Lance Armstrong Organization LIVESTRONG.
I hope you guys find this information useful and feel free to send me your comments and how you take healthy food habits in your life.
