Walking, A nice way to excercise

Hey everyone! 

It's been a while since I posted anything about health, and fitness. Let's be real, I like more fashion and beauty and know much much more about it. And it's easier to find articles all about fashion. 

Lately, walking is one of the things we do in our house hold. Want to go to the grocery store 10 blocks from home? Walk. Want to visit my aunt living exactly on 6 blocks down my street? Walk. Want to get the dogs to walk not using our-at-home treadmill? (yeah we do that) WALK THEM. The best health option.  

While walking, you are exercising. Maybe not as tiring as a good old run around the  neighbourhood, but it is still something. You will burn calories, you will feel more oxygenated (although at the beginning you will be TIRED)  and you will be just more fit and with better resistance. 

All of this walking, I know I am repeating my-self a lot, is so beneficial for your mood too. Your endocrine system will release  endorphins and they will make you more relaxed an happy. And to quote Elle Woods. Happy people don't kill.  

Remember, walking makes you fitter, and just less stressed. If you have little time in the day, try switching up your schedule, and walk short distances when you have to run errands. 

I hope you guys have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!

Something Awesome: The Laine Blogger Award!

Hey Everyone!

I am super excited right now, I received a comment in my latest post (which you can see here) by the lovely Becca from Looks and Books with Becca, saying something awesome! She nominated me for the Laine Blogger Award. Becca has a pretty cool blog and I am obsessed! you should check her out and follow her for great posts!

Here are the rules:

a. What is your current beauty obsession?

Lipsticks! I am crazy for them, any kind will do.

b. What is one beauty item you wished you owned?

I wish I owned a Chanel make-up remover for gentle skin! I got this as a sample many years ago at the airport, but have never really focused on saving to splurge on it.

love to write polish reviews and fun update posts. I love to read/see outfit of the day posts and fashion look books.

d. What inspired you to become a blogger?

I think it was the YouTube beauty community, but I am a shy girl (yes I am) to stand in front of a camera and start talking to it! Maybe in the future I will suck it up and start posting videos too.

Right now I'm wearing Revlon's Classy and on my ring finger Revlon's mini Sparkle.

Beauty Vlogger Boot camp: Hauls in heels

Hey Everyone! 

Running in heels is not fun, specially when they are like sky high tall. This week in BVB, the final 3 contestants had to do so, while shopping, under a 3 minute limit. I was perplex, but I have had to run in heels, and let me tell you, it was just for emergency purposes, not to go grab a shade of nail polish. Of course Elle and Blair didn't expect the results to be that bad and to have a 3 way tie. It is not an easy challenge, therefore I respect the contestants even more now! 

If I had to run, in a store to grab beauty products, let me tell you...I will take my heels of! I think some of them thought about it, but since it's called, Hauls in Heels...well, there was no point in contradicting the challenge. I had a lot of fun watching this episode, specially because of the faces they were doing, it went all from happy to dragging and smooshed. 

Here is the episode if you missed it! the elimination will be next Tuesday! Let's see what happens then! 

have a great day! and the WEEKEND IS COMING!

talk to you real soon <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!
