Sunday dreaming

Mondays are somewhat dreadful, specially if there are projects and tests and other million things to do for the week. I am almost a month from ending my senior year at University and things could not be more hectic than right at this moment. Stress is flowing through my veins and there is a lot lot lot to do so there is little space for rest. 

#trueThat! 

This brings me to my next point in which I really think that maybe, just maybe, it should be illegal for people to have to work or do assignments of any kind, so there should only be one day to just stay in bed and have a date with a Netflix marathon of your favorite show. Yes please! 

Well, enough for the weekend (Sunday) rant. I just need sleep! 

have a good week! 

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!

Sunday Funday: Why So M.I.A?

Happy December guys! 

it's crazy how fast time has passed and how the end of the year has come with a blink of an eye. It seemed just yesterday that we were in January enjoying the new years eve post comatose states. 

I just wanted to stop by for a little while to say that everything is going great and that my finals start on tuesday! and I finish them on friday and I will be a free person for a good couple of months! 

To keep up with the update I have been planing also my december baking schedule because we gift cupcakes to pretty much all of my family hahaha! when I have pictures of them I will let you know here so you can see what we ended up doing!

And now i have to go to keep on reading and studying and summarizing everything! 

Enjoy your day and have a great start of the week!

Sunday Funday: TAG edition!

A couple of days ago Becca, from Looks and Books with Becca, did a really fun tag that just caught my eye and made me feel super hyper about it! It is the What's your fragrance? TAG and of course I had to do it too. Besides nail polish, the other thing that I have to have on me at all times, beauty related, is perfume or any other thing that makes me smell nice and sweet! 

So on we go with the questions!

1. Fruity, floral, warm, spicy, or food smell?

     

I love fruity and spicy smells. They are my favorite of all time. 

2. Body spray or perfume?

For days that I am just lounging at home or running errands for the house I will spray myself with body      spray and for the times that I am off to class, going to meetings, dates or to meet some friends I will spray perfume because they last a lot longer and I don't have to reapply that often as I would with body spray. 

3. What's your all time favorite perfume?

My all time favorite perfume is L'air du temps from Nina Ricci.

4. What's your all time favorite body spray?

My all time favorite Body Spray is the Pear Glacé from Victoria's Secret. It is super fruity and sweet, I just love it.

5.What fragrance are you wearing right now?

As I'm just lounging at home today, thinking about studying some more for my tests this week, I am wearing my Pear Glacé body spray. 

I hope you guys enjoyed it and I encourage you to do this fun little TAG. It is great, so as they say I TAG all of you out there! <3

Sunday Funday: Halloween Candy

Happy Sunday everyone! 

I think people, at this time of year, is going crazy about shopping for Halloween candy, and to be honest I am too! I love candy, that is one of my guiltiest of pleasures, if I can find some good candy well WELCOME! today I went grocery shopping with my parents, and I just went coo-coo in the candy isle. 

There are tons and tons of nice candy this time of year, my favorites are Ambrujos (they belong to a Peruvian brand) and specially like the Hechizos branch. They are candy flavored coke, a red soda and inca kola. Typical flavors that only come out this time of year and I await eagerly to get my hands on them.  

And while writing this, I am indulging in some of them (LOVE), what else can I say? I have my very own Kryptonite hahaha 

I hope you guys are having a great weekend and enjoy it while it lasts <3 

have a nice day!

Sunday Funday: Remember always

Today is not a good day for me, it's been a couple of rough weeks and I feel like today everything just got out of hand and just want to cuddle in bed, watch all the sad movies ever made, not only in Hollywood but in any part of the world. But I will not do that. 

Sometimes you just feel like everything is falling into small pieces, feel like there is no way out of the black hole that your life is slowly turning into, but you should never ever give it a sign that it is affecting you. For this, you need to take a day off, shake off everything that bothers you, go for a walk, a run, a strut, jam up the happiest music ever out loud in your room or your car, how ever you feel like doing it. 

Remember always that you have people that truly love you, unconditionally, even if they are near or far from you at the moment. IF you are having a bad day just remember those small moments of joy and go to a happy place for just a couple minutes to make it up and compensate the bad mood. 

The point of this post is for you (and me) to leave some things that can damage us a little far behind and remembering the things that are truly important for us and move us to do what we are doing at the moment. 

with Love, 

S.A 

Sunday Funday: Shopping Spree

Another Sunday is here, and with it comes the last day of September. Cold weather is getting near for some of you and the hot weather is coming the way of some of us. Don't you love the seasonal changes? I do and specially, choosing and buying clothes and accessories according to this. 

Today, I'm off for a shopping spree with my lovely mother! We love to do that and, even if we end up buying just a couple of things, it's the most refreshing thing to do. We get to see the new trends and the new colors that are ready to be worn. 

I hope you have a great Sunday and have some fun the last day of September!

Sunday Funday: Smiles

Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope you are having a nice time. 

Since the week has been a lot stressful for me with all the university stuff going on, and about to get worse, that my sleep is just not in the right process and my eyes look like the ones of a panda, I just wanted to share some of my guilty pleasures (well I don't think of them that much as guilty pleasures) that just make me smile and step out for a while of the Uni-zone. 

The first one is reading blogs. Being a blogger myself, and with limited time (as you can see by my lack of posting, Sorry Guys!) I love to make some small pause to read the ones I'm subscribed to. That makes me feel a little more comfortable and, if I'm having a momentarily block, it refreshes me to keep going and see things from a different perspective. 

The second one is watching YouTube. I have a few favorite people that I follow and just make my day. It's an instant smile that appears on my face every time that I see they have a new video uploaded. 

A third one, is more family oriented. If I'm having a little block I just go around my house talking to every family member and having them to comment how they would approach the problem and also just talking with them. My mom and my grandma are always home so they are the ones that help me most of the time. 

And last but not least, is to dedicate some time to my little pup so that I can groom her and play a little with her. 

Instant Smiles. That is what makes my day if it has been a little rough. It is never a waste of time if it makes you smile. 

I hope you continue having an awesome day <3

Sunday (not so) Funday: Study Sessions

Hello there! I hope you all are enjoying this nice Sunday and use it as a way to relax from all the week's stress that, inevitably, shows. 

For me, today it's not a day to relax. Today I have lots to study and read. I will have to say bye to a BBQ day with my family and, well, it's not fun at all. 

At least, by night I expect to be done with everything and then just dedicate some moments for me and have a little stress-free time till Monday comes with my tests!

Sunday Funday: week recap

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a great weekend and had fun! I can say that it has been nice and somewhat relaxing.

Now, on to recap the Highs and lows of this week for me. IT all started on Monday. Killer day, class all day  and 2 tests to top it off. In one test I did great, on the other one..well it was tougher. But not impossible. Then, it all went smoothly in my late night class (World Economics) and after that I went home and fell deep asleep (I was super tired).

On Tuesday, I have a very random schedule, I have no class all day and at night is when 2 hours of class begin for me. It drains my brain so much. It is a very late night class and it makes me dizzy. We had a surprise test.Yes. HORRIBLE. IT was supposed to be this Monday but Oh Well.

Then on Wednesday, I got the grades of another test and it was awesome! an A. Please I know my stuff :) also another late night class.

I got two other tests, this time one on Thursday and another one on Friday. Interesting week right? haha I hope I haven't bore you to death till now. If you did, please forgive my uneventful week so far. On Friday it got much better! I got to go to eat sushi and catch up with one of my cousins! We are crazy sushi ladies. We had a blast and ate way too much.

Yesterday was baking day for mamma and me. We came up with a new cupcake recipe we have never heard of (I hope we invented it, if not, thumbs-up to whoever did too!). Mamma has the flu and she hasn't been feeling great, so I decided to treat her with a little sweet. It was rum and raisins cupcakes. So good. This is whats left of them.

And today, Sunday, we went for a little Chinese Adventure and brought home some takeout. It is dreadful to have to cook while you're not feeling so good, so I proposed the little indulgement (is that a word? I don't know haha)

Later we are going to watch some movies at home with some popcorn.

I hope you are having a great time this September and make it a good one!

Have a nice day!

Sunday Funday: Harry Potter movies!

I'm a total HP nerd and to have had a marathon of the 2 installments of the 7th movie just made my day!

It is the perfect way to spend a Sunday, just watching movies, and if are those, for me, it much much muchhhh better! i passed the notice among my friends, we all live kind of far from each other, but we all totally watched them, separately, and just freaked on over it.

I know we are such little dorks when it comes to Harry Potter anything :) <3 love is the key for everything you all!

I might do a series about this. hhhmmm I'll think about it :) Maybe some collabs on the way? maybe maybee

I hope you had a great week end and had tons of fun!

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!

Sunday Funday: BBQ Pizza

Hey Everyone! 

It's been a couple of super hard and sad days in my house. But I think it's time to keep going even though it's as difficult as hell and I know my pretty baby is in a better place and she is watching us and playing happily with her doggy toys and running in a vast and immense green field.  

So today, Sunday, we have been a little indulgent and for tonight we bought ingredients to make a very yummy BBQ Pizza we saw on TV.

Right now, I am watching the closing ceremony of the Olympic games which is AH-MAZING, no other words to describe it. What a nice relaxing Sunday.  

Hope you have a great day and enjoy everything that comes showing for you!

Sunday Funday: Sweet Indulgement

Hey Everyone! 

So a couple of posts back I said I would cut back on sweets, but sometime after having been good for a while, I could have some sweet treatments. And now, I have been good for a while, and it's time for me to treat myself with some delicious goodness. Crepe's with Milk Toffee spread! YUM so sweet and so good. We like to indulge on them when we make them because we don't have them all the time. This is because they are super super sweet and our cravings for them is satisfied for a very long time after that.  

You can have crepes for lunch also and make a wrap with them with your chicken, meat or turkey and are super good in that way too. Also, if you don't like it with that amount of sweetness you can always have them with fresh fruit, ice-cream or whipped cream. So good. 

I hope you are having a nice day <3

Sunday Funday: Rambling on and on

Hey Everyone! (I tried not to start this way but it was just something I missed!) 

It's been a good week end. I ate way too much yesterday, we celebrated the independence day of Peru and had to go to a buffet. Yes, I ate half my weight in food. It's almost impossible to get in shape when you have such good food to indulge in! 

Later we got home and rested for a while and then had to take off to a family party, where sweets and drinks are never a miss and just when you though you weren't able to eat anything else, well, you can eat more. And drink more.  It is very rare to have all the family united, so when we have a chance, we have a great time and the perfect excuse to celebrate some more. 

I seriously need to work out 3 times harder this week to get rid of al the excess weigh gained in just two days! but it was all worth it. 

Today, we are all going to see Hairspray the Musical that is showing in the Japanese Theatre in Lima and have just a couple more shows this season. I hope it is as good as they are claiming it to be. I am a very musical person in that sense. Everything Music related has my attention! 

On top of that, my dad just came in and said he's taking us to eat lunch at a sea food restaurant. Oh food. It's all over the place! well I have to get ready if I want to survive this food attack! 

Hope you are having a great week end and have a hell of a good week start!

Sunday Funday: Bar&Friends=Smile

Hey Everyone!

It's finally Sunday! I've had a great week. I met a cute Doctor on Thursday. Yesterday I went for a drink, or maybe 4, with my two best friends from High School. I missed the two crazy heads and it was nice to have a great time with them. 

We didn't expect to find anyone else we knew but yes, we did. And that is a side story for, maybe, later. They took me to a place where there are little bars with an arty feel, where people listen to music, mainly rock, house and indie. It has been a while since I went out to a place like that, and it was worth the surprise. 

After some dancing and talking and drinking, we got hungry (the effects of a late night with friends) and right next to one of the bars, was this place which sells from French fries to chicken salad Sandwiches, and trust me, it was SO good. 

It was raining badly, but that didn't stopped us. It was refreshing and quite entertaining to see people running around trying to cover their hair and their, make-up. Maybe I shall do a post about the street style in this place. It was so unique and relax that made me feel a little over dressed. But you know, you can never be overdressed, just well prepared. 

With this, I leave you with an image of how a small section of the bar looks like. 

Have a great Sunday!

Sunday Funday: Semester is O.V.E.R

Hey everyone! 

I am so glad to tell you all that I am officially a free person! No more dreadful university assignments, no more hard core studying! For a month and a half at least, which is more than enough to have a refreshing gasp of air and just have fun and catch up with everything that I wanted to do through the semester but couldn't get it done, leisure wise. 

July is flying by, which by the way, is my BIRTHDAY MONTH! eeeeeep! I am turning 21 this Tuesday July the 10th and are just too excited. I have no big plans for that day, just spend time with family and have a nice dinner, but the weekend is definitely the time to enjoy the festivities with the good friends.    

Now that the semester is over, we had an awesome time with friends last night, I caught up with my best friend X, that's how we call each other, she calls me S and I call her X...weird but we've known each other since pre-school and she's like my sister from another parents. And to finish the night off, we gathered around at a friend's house and had some drinks and chatted and played some games. It was a great day, after the horrific 2 finals I had to take on a Saturday. 

This is going to be a good winter break. I can feel it. Now I have to go do laundry and clean my room that has turned upside down this week. 

I leave you with our Chilli's dessert. 

Have a great day!

Sunday Funday: Father's Day

Hey Everyone! 

I hope you are having a nice day. It is sunny and nice and hot here. Just the perfect day. The perfect one to say to your dad how much you love them and how much they mean to you. It doesn't matter if your dad is not with you at the moment, or your mum has taken care of you being a mum and a dad at the same time, you just need to show that person how grateful you are for what they have done for you. 

I want to say Happy Father's Day to the most amazing men in my life, my Dad and my Granddad. They have always been there for me, seen me at my best and at my worst and have always been there to cheer me up and make me have a good laugh. There is another special man that passed away many many years ago, my Dad's Dad, the most caring person of all. He is now one of the many guardian angels looking after us from up high in heaven. Love you all. 

We are doing a special lunch, an Italian theme one with nice wine, nice food and the best of all, the family together. 

What are your father's day plans? 

Have a pretty one!

Silly Sunday + Birthdays!

Hey Everyone!

A successful alarm dodges near the dash

What does this sentence mean? I really have no idea but as it is Sunday I was browsing through the internet and found this. I am currently studying for a reading comprehension test on Monday, but got tired and decided to spend a little time in the cyber-world. 

Oh! and yesterday was the Birthday of a fellow blogger. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SUEMI! 

We go to Uni together and are working on a project this semester. I love her blog (it's in spanish). She writes from her heart and has a very strong point of view which is nice to find now a days, because not everyone has the courage to speak up their mind any more and she does that. I hope you spent a really great day yesterday Sue! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! 

here I leave you with her Blog! go check it out: Cuando SuEMi quiere bloggear.. 

ps. She has a great art editions too. I am sort of, kind of jealous!  

I hope you have a great day <3

Sunday fun day: Soccer and friends

Hey Everyone! 

It's a nice day, today there's a soccer game where Peru and Colombia will face each other to see who gains points to qualify for the World Cup. Soccer is an important sport in Latin America, we have some awesome players, Ronaldinho anyone? Cristiano Ronaldo?, all Brazilian, that is why they have the best team winning 5 World Cups in the history (I think there was a 6th time, sorry for my lack of knowledge!) 

This post is not about soccer (which you can see I know nothing about it) but it's about how you spend those social encounters with people that DO like sports, can be Rugby, American Football, Baseball anything in general. Guys are THE ones crazy about them and if you have a boyfriend or some male best friends, they will want to watch it all gathered in one place. 

Girls, have no fear! They are the ones you love so you can also be a part of their plans. Your girls and yourself can plan a lovely reunion, delivering some tasks and making people in charge of the snacks and beers (if you are of legal age to enjoy a little booze with your activities) and voila, some of the girls may also enjoy watching sports so that is great! Special if you are fan of the teams who are playing. 

Normally, girls will all gather around a table and have a little of drinks, chat and laugh. Boys will all be in front of the TV and munching on the snacks talking about boy stuff which I kind of do not understand but make an effort to. 

Another thing that my friends and I like to do, specially in the warmer months, is go to the beach, to a friend's house and have a summery barbecue and  lot of chatting and screaming and just fun, good nice and friendly FUN. 

That is my approach to having boys screaming over at the TV for a good couple of hours and having fun while watching them go crazy and spending some good quality time with everyone. 

What is it that you do when there are events like these ones? 

I hope you are having a nice day!
