Party Planning

My mom has gone plain crazy, but crazy with love and creativity, because she is planning a whole party and preparing and decorating the tables and the candy and all of the other things that come in to doing this. 

My moms' family side loves food as much as they love spending time together, and if it involves desserts, it is even better because the experience is a thousand times more gratificating than just having salty snacks. So we pretty much bond over food and all of my aunts are so talented and dedicated that we are used to catter major family gatherings. 

I just love how these kind of things make people smile. 

Candies are the best and through this I will tell you that I am still a little child at heart because I love everything sweet, gummies, candies, hard candies, soft candies, chocolate, jelly beans, lolly pops and all else that you could imagine. My mom decided to make a special table because of this. I can't say I am not happy, because I am really, really excited <3 

Here some of the inspiration behind the mind set of my mother:

I hope you have a good day!

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.

Beauty Pet Peeve: Chipped nail polish

On Wednesday, I was talking to one of my girl friends about life and we were laughing and all. Then it happened...I saw her hands and on her hands, her nails, and on the nails....Chipped nail polish. I started to freak out. One of the most distracting and pretty darn ugly things for me is to see a girl with her nail polish all torn down and plain not well taken care of. 

I am a firm believer that girls should always have her nails well manicured and if possible with some nail polish on, even if it's a clear one. When I start to see mine a little off, and have no time to keep them polished and neat, I immediately take the nail polish off at least. 

That's when I decided to make a post about it. I am pretty sure my friend is going to read this. So S don't take it personally! you know I love you!   It is just something I am a little crazy with and don't stand it. It is one of my beauty pet peeves. 

Here are some tips: 

1.- If you see that your nail polish is already starting to wear off, don't continue chipping it yourself by scratching it. It is a horrible habit, makes your nails look careless and to top it off, it scratches off the top coat of your natural nails making them to be porous. That is going to make the nail polish stain even more your pretty nails and when you go nail-polish-less they will look even less healthy. 

2.- Just remove your nail polish and if you don't have time to paint them back, just leave them natural. In that way, they will have time to breath a little and rest from all the chemicals nail polish have. That way they will look a little more taken care of. 

3.- Finally, give yourself an at home manicure, dedicate atleast once a week, at night, to treat your hands and nails so that they are healthy and nice and then you will feel fresh and pretty. 

A well cared manicured hand makes a girl look pretty and polished. Always keep that in mind. You will feel even prettier than you already are and more confident to while you give a steady and confident handshake to your potential next employer too.

Sunday Funday: Movie Night

Hey Everyone!!

I hope you all are having a great weekend! Here I am just freezing so much and all I want to do is bundle up in a blanket and do nothing for the rest of the day.

Yesterday was such a nice day! A very good friend from High School celebrated her Birth Day at her house with some other friends from school. Ones I had stop seeing for like 2 years. It was so nice to get to talk to them and catch up with the things we are doing and achieving in our lives.

Today I have planned to watch a movie. To be more specific, Pretty Woman, with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It is one of my favourite movies and I haven't seen it for a long time.

To pair this Pretty Woman night I will have some popcorn! and I will be forever Happy with it. Time to relax after a very productive first week of classes for me.

enjoy your day!

Updateable me: University, Life

Hey Everyone!

I hope you spent a lovely mother's day with the ones you love! We spend it chilling in the house, I cooked a nice Dinner, Pampered the most amazing women and just relaxed from everything, the midterms just pushed me to the limit and just went home after every exam just feeling miserable. But I can't complain with my grades, they are pretty high and now I feel dumb for feeling so miserable after them! hahaha

(being buried with books much? hahaha) 

Now, I have some serious assignments to get done, as the semesters go by, i feel it is much more work to be done and is a hand full of everything, I needed this week of study to start to realize that with a stable way of life comes all the ups and downs, you just need to know which are your priorities. Up to some point I felt like quitting university and decided to follow a career path more like the Kardashians, going to nice parties, knowing the right people and putting my name on every single thing possible! hahaha I love them, don't get me wrong, but I was stressed out and horrified by my luck at the moment. 

In a more stable state of mind I can say that I would not want my life to be anything other than what its been so far, and with baby steps you can achieve a lot. 

Having good friends, and an awesome family by my side just make things a lot easier and bearable.

It's time for me to keep on doing university assignments but I love talking to you so much that I feel relaxed while writing these posts <3

Style Crush: Kim Kardashian

Hey everyone!

I think every single person in the world has some kind of crush about the style of a regular person or celebrity. Today I am talking all about my obsession with Kim Kardashian.

Ever since her breakthrough in the spot light with her famous friend Paris Hilton, she has know how to work her way in a very stylish and glamorous way. She knows how to dress for the occasions and, since she is a pettite size person, always knows bet to wear her very loved high heels.

I think with her, the philosophy of the higher the better goes in every way of the expression. She never leaves her house without wearing her beloved shoes, unless she is off to the gym or some other extracurricular activities (aka, not working).

Her style is the working girl inspiration, I love how some of her form fitting cut dresses and clothes show her figure and show that self confidence. Not many people or celebrities know how to pull this off, to find something that just enhances your personality and the gorgeous silhouette of the body.

As a girl, I struggle with finding the right clothes, but by watching, I tend to learn. Kim used to style celebrity closets and organize them. So much ideas you get from that is just overwhelming and you need to keep track of it and just internalize as much content as you desire. Being a socialite is something that helped her also, being surrounded by all the glam and shine and expensive accessories.

Her mother, Kris, has taught the girls, all of her siblings, how to take good care of the skin and how important it is to look fresh and natural. It does not matter if you have the most shocking and pretty dress if you look all tired and drained. You'll end up being the most glamorous zombie out there and you don't want that.

In a recent picture you can see her getting out of the plane and out of the airport looking fabulous and renewed and comfortable, without looking like a slob.

this is how you know when a person has a great sense of style and that they like to show the world they are the best at it.
 
Who's your personal style crush? let me know in the comments :)

Sunflowers and Roses

I might say that sunflowers and pink roses are my favourite flowers, they give spaces a beautiful vibe and just make me smile every time I look at them, even by the corner of my eye. I was looking at some of my albums and found pictures of them, I was happy at the thought that I have pictures of them and just simply looking at them I remember their smell and how pretty they truly are.

Here are those pictures:

I feel happy just seeing these <3

Tell me, what is your favourite flower?

Favourite Summer Drink

Hey Guys!

This summer, here in the southern hemisphere, has been hotter than ever and has made me sweat so MUCH,
I am a water drinker but not fan of the freezing cold water becayse i don't like the taste of it, i don't know why.
Instead, I've become a fan of the Crystal light juices from Kraft foods. Clight for the market outside of the US.

It is AMAZING it contains no sugar and is for a litre of water, but I dilute it in 1.7 litres because in that way it is  much more fresh and not too strong flavoured. I put it in the freezer for a while and then just take it out and move it to the fridge.

Also, you can try drinking fruit juices with little to no sugar in them and they are awesome to make the hotness of the summer or of a hot hot spring day cool down and make it refreshing.

This was just a quick post and hope you are having nice days :)

Introducing...SKMS

Hey everyone! 

This is the new blog where I moved all the content from my prior blogs and I hope it makes a very good home to every memory of the past 8 months we've been together and therefore we can create new and awesome ones from this day onwards. 

I have been planning to merge both blogs together but just couldn't find time to do so, and to be honest, i was neglecting and pushing further away the process but I finally said to myself "Stephanie it's time to do this!" and I got my self a cup of freshly brewed coffee and sat down and make it happen. 

Here I am going to be able to expand myself and talk pretty much about everything that crosses my mind not only healthy eating and fashion and beauty! I want it to be a source for you to have fun and ask questions that you may want me to help you with. 

SKMS are the letters of my name, some exceptions may or may have not been made here. I have always signed with these letters everything that belongs to me, and they have a special meaning for me and i am fond of what it is meaningful for every person and respect it. 

I hope you like this new site.
