Fresh and New

So you may have already noticed, SKMS has had a makeover! I am pretty pleased with the end result. 

I wanted something that reflected more my style and my life at the moment. Where I could portray how I am trying to balance everything that is going on now. I still love purple, I am trying to gravitate more towards other colors that are also inspiring me. 

I was planing a makeover, literally for the longest time, I just had no time to sit and think and picture it all in my mind. 

I hope you fall in love with it as much as I am loving it now. 

Try

I did my best, I tried and tried.

Trying is always the best thing one can do before feeling defeated and all emotional. Ok, you can cry, but if you don't try it wont be helpful. Sometimes hard work pays off, but it wont happen over the night and if you don't believe in yourself, well, a dream will only be a dream. 

Do you remember how I was struggling at the beginning of the year with that job issue? well I did and I couldn't be happier. I was persistent on what I wanted, of where I knew I would fit in best, and where I was more comfortable at and finally, I ended up in the right place. 

So keep on trying, the first attempt may not have the outcome you wanted, maybe the second or third will.

Short hair don't care.

A few weeks ago I went to my hair dresser and had a major cut. I mean I cut my hair (my hair dresser did) and I couldn't be happier!

I feel fresh and light now, I need to trim it again soon, it's been almost a month and I want it short for some time.

After having it long all my life (at least 6 good years or more) it was time for me to change it up. It was not a big deal, but I needed a subtle but comfortable turn of events. I got rid of my layers and that was it.

here a picture :) (please ignore the duck face that is not as noticeable as it was intended but still embarrassing)

See, a little under shoulder length. 

That was my mayor change.

Freezing Cold

It's been the coldest winter here in a while, last year, right around this time I remember was not that cold. I have been struggling to find clothes warm enough that aren't hoodies and sweat pants, and that are relatively appropriate for work. Yes, I've failed miserably. Besides, in the office we are right now is always freezing! and our A/C is not working at all. 

We have come to a point where bringing blankets to work is the most suitable way to keep and stay warm in this harsh winter. But this is not that bad while we stay in that office (clothing norms aren't that strict). The down side is that we are moving, and the place we are moving is not going to be so flexible with our dress code. Trust me, we were secluded from all other human beings, and pretty much we were not interested in being all fancy pants while sitting at our desks working on reports AND FREEZING (we need to stay warm right?).

If in fact, we do move, we are going to have to step up our wardrobe. It worries me terribly. HOW AM I NOT GONNA DIE FROM HYPOTHERMIA?! (is that possible not on sea? well it definitely feels that way there) I hope, with all my heart and soul, that the A/C there works on point. (please please please WORK!) 

Initially, this was going to be a post about boots. Yes, not quite there yet. And will not be there. It turned into a little ramble mumble but I had to get it out of my system. I will start wearing more layers of clothes this days we have left at the current place, and then, will try and find a seat under our A/C (if we have a working one elsewhere) 

It feels like there might even be a snowstorm at some point (even though we do not have snow here) it is just excruciating. 

I hope you guys in the northern hemisphere are enjoying your summer, and hope my fellow southern hemisphere friends are not freezing, but staying warm and cozy! 

love you all!
