Hello everyone,  My love affair with the color red continues! Must be the way it makes me feel or the fact that this time of year I love playing with colors, being vibrant, living like there's no tomorrow. Okay, maybe, not that crazy, but definitely free and wild in my own way - if speaking of dancing to the rhythm of live Latin music, enjoying every moment I get, having a drink or two, then, count me in. Moments like these make me wish I could freeze time and make summers last longer with the blink of an eye. What makes you feel wild and free?  I recently came across the most beautiful quote that immediately spoke to me. Here it is "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who come ALIVE ."   How true is this? Being around people who feel and look alive is the most incredible feeling. Those who can inspire, who love to laugh, who appreciate the present, who have stories to tell, who choo...

Hello everyone,  With summer here one thing is for sure; we're all ready for an ADVENTURE! That exciting feeling, which keeps you awake at night knowing you'll be heading to a tropical destination, waking up to the sound of the waves and the salty summer breeze calling out your name. So pure and perfectly at peace, this is the season to pack your bags and make memories that will last forver!  I know a lot of you have already booked your next trip or are thinking about heading somewhere, which is why I think a travel post is so appropriate at this time. To get you in the mood of relaxation time, I want to share with you my top five favorite beauty essentials. These are the items that make my vacations complete. As long as I have them with me, I know I'll survive and feel like there is nothing else I need from home. In that case, I'm ready to book my next vacation for a whole month. hahaha  Who's with me?  1.   When in comes to beauty products, I like to pack as m...

Hello everyone,  As I was sitting outside at one of my go-to cafes, this awesome idea came to mind (trust me the fresh air does wonders) of sharing what I've been LOVING recently. That includes anything at all from fashion to beauty and beyond. It was a bit difficult to narrow it down to only five things, as my list kept multiplying, but in the end I managed to do it! Clap, clap !!!    In this post, I'm going to stick with these two categories I mentioned earlier because I've got to save the rest for future posts as I'm hoping you'll want to see more of what excites me, what makes me ME and why these favorites are so special to me. Do you find that some items, places, traditions are more meaningful than others because of the story or person behind that something? I do, that is why I deeply appreciate and treasure a lot of what I have, for example, when something has been given to me by people that I care about like my sister, parents, friends...it keeps the m...

Hello everyone,  Most of us fashionistas are also interested in anything beauty related because I think fashion and beauty go hand in hand. While having a killer outfit, you want as well to have a make-up look that enhances your beauty and matches your whole look.  So, today I'm going to show you the make-up look I've noticed I always come back to wearing the most once fall and winter approach. It's simple (takes me around 10 minutes to create), it looks great with any of my cozy outfits, it looks natural in a way, and it has become my signature go to make-up.  Along with this make-up, I want to share with you my favorite beauty products at the moment that make the whole look possible. I can only say nice things about these products because, really, I wear them all the time, love them lots (would re-purchase them again) and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to find high quality make-up that is worth the money.  1. Foundation- FENTY BEAUTY   Starting ...

Hello everyone,  Today I'm totally going by what I feel, which is why "effortlessly chic" is exactly the two words I would use to describe my look. My mood spoke and it hit right at the target! So you've got to listen to your inner-self because that's where the MAGIC happens. I can preach forever about the importance of this topic, but for now let's leave it to all the life coaches out there, and mostly, life itself, because I believe life easily teaches us things we cannot learn from anywhere else. What do you think?  On another note, who else is overexcited to start wearing darker lip colors? It feels so good to be able to start bringing out the darker lipsticks out of my drawer.  With this fall look, I though it's the perfect time to "welcome fall into my lips"! I literally smiled while putting this dark raspberry lipstick on. LOL!  Other than loving this outfit to pieces, I think it's very fashionable as it has some signature staples that...

Hello everyone,  Today, I'm on the " trending train " as I've got a few of the most popular trends in one look . What they are is no secret as you can see them from the title of this post. But what I'm really intrigued to find out is what has been your favorite trend, the one that you always go back to? Aside from embroidery and stripes , I've been loving all kinds of florals , prints , and patterns  this season. In my opinion they can make any outfit a lot more interesting and lively!      Before I give you the details and inspiration behind my look, give it up to ArtisticSpring  (she's the BEST) for giving me this golden make-up look and the pretty side braids to go along with it. I felt like a Greek goddess (I got that a lot when I was walking down the streets), didn't even want to take it all off at the end of the day! The golden shadows glistened in the sunlight like no other. You should have seen it in person! I'm actually already thinking...

Hello everyone,  What can I say, I LOVE having my nails freshly painted with a cute bright design that screams summer - makes me extra happy to look at. That's why this month I decided each week to change up my nails and share with you the four designs I rocked in the month of July.  As I have my nails painted 99% of the time (this brings me lots of joy), I thought those of you who love nail art would also find this interesting and exciting. Do let me know in the comments, if you would like me to continue doing this for each month because I'm up for it. This would be the very first post of this nail series!  All these four nail designs I'm about to share with you are done with the help of the BEST invention ever, The Nail Stamping. Once you get the hang of it, it takes maximum of five minutes to complete.  I vividly remember the first time I ever saw a couple short videos on Instagram of girls using this method to achieve cute and unique designs and knew this is so ...
