We were born to be real, not to be perfect.

Don't look for happiness, create it.



Nunca sé cómo empezar a escribir. No soy muy buena escritora, por no decir mala pero creo que todo el mundo tiene un talento o don, A veces es fácil encontrarlo y a veces no. Hay de muchos tipos: físicos, palpables y los que no se pueden ver. ¿Quién tiene talentos ocultos?

Siempre me he considerado una persona muy indecisa y perdida en un laberinto que de momento aún no tiene salida. Ayer vi un vídeo que trataba sobre la realidad de la vida, los altos y bajos que puede tener uno en su vida; la verdad es que me hizo pensar mucho porque es exactamente lo que pasa por mi mente. Cuando te sientes perdido ni tú mismo sabes cómo vas a encontrar de nuevo el camino por mucho que te conozcas bien.

Los seres humanos no solo pueden tener un sentimiento a la vez, cosa que hay gente que no logra entender: Puedo estar en lo más bajo y sentirme mediocre y a la vez disfrutar de un momento en compañía de alguien, sin dejar de sentirme así. Creo que, al menos una vez en la vida, todos hemos o vamos a pasar por ahí. Son pequeñas rachas, días, semanas o meses en los cuales solo vamos a querer quedarnos en la cama y no salir de ella porque nos sentimos tan miserables que no vale la pena intentarlo. Pero la realidad es que sí que hay que intentarlo: por mucho que cueste, por mucho que el cuerpo y la mente pesen, por mucho que pienses que no vale la pena, vale la pena.

¿Qué os puedo decir? Ahora mismo estoy pasando por uno de esos laberintos y me está costando encontrar la salida porque me he olvidado de dónde está, aún así, no he dejado de levantarme por las mañanas y prepararme para el día y tampoco os voy a mentir, he tenido mis momentos de dudas y me he sentido tan perdida que, aunque odie llorar en público, lo he hecho. Porque también está bien soltarlo todo porque sí.

No suelo esconder estas caras de mi vida a la gente que me rodea, son partes de mí y no puedo dejarlas olvidadas en un cajón. Hay muchas personas que han pasado, pasan o pasarán por una situación parecida, así que nadie debería avergonzarse por ello o callárselo, creo que siempre se nos olvida que somos personas, seres vivos y no máquinas que solo responden a órdenes. 

Tampoco sé por qué estoy compartiendo esto ahora mismo pero podría tomármelo como una larga introducción a lo que tenía pensado, talentos.

No me considero una persona talentosa, pero solemos fijarnos mucho en lo ajeno y en las cosas palpables: dibujar, escribir, cantar, tocar un instrumento, diseñar.... y así miles de cosas.... pero nos olvidamos de que hay mucha gente a la cual se le da bien tratar con otras personas, a ayudarlas, escucharlas... Y, seamos sinceros, ¿quién no agradece tener a alguien con quien poder hablar, abrir su mente y soltarlo todo? Ya sea familia, amigos o profesionales. Hay gente que con solo su simple presencia consiguen que la persona o personas que están a su lado se relajen, se sientan seguras y valientes para hablar de sus problemas. Porque una cosa es cierta: vivimos en una sociedad en la que hablamos y nos quejamos y criticamos todo sobre cualquier pequeñez que pase pero, ¿por qué nos cuesta tanto hablar de nuestros problemas? Y hablo de problemas serios, de cosas importantes para nosotros que no nos dejan dormir y nos quitan el apetito.



Dicho esto, aún no sé cuáles son mis talentos y ni siquiera sé si este post tiene algún sentido pero tan solo quiero deciros que no estáis solos, que más gente de la que nos pensamos o imaginamos, está pasando por lo mismo o peor que nosotros.


No soy la mejor pero la moda me hace feliz, me entretiene y me anima a cumplir pequeñas metas que me motivan a crear otras nuevas. No me considero buena en ello pero eso debería ser lo de menos porque es lo que me hace feliz y me hace sentir bien conmigo misma. Eso es lo importante.

PD: Quizás esta vez me he puesto muy personal o seria pero es algo que necesitaba compartir con el mundo, o simplemente quien quiera leerlo. O lo necesite.

Face your insecurities.

Dear insecure girls everywhere:
 you're not ugly, society is.


Mis inseguridades me hacen sentir como si fuera lo más pequeño e insignificante del planeta. Siento que todo el mundo me mira, se ríe de mí o me juzga. No es fácil vivir con ellas pero tampoco puedes vivir en contra de ellas o te harás más daño que otra cosa.



Dejé de llevar vestidos cuando tenía unos once o doce años, quizás antes incluso. Juzgaba a las chicas que veía con ellos por la calle, simplemente para engañarme a mí misma, para esconder mis propias inseguridades: mis piernas y mi estómago. 

Ni soy alta ni delgada así que no me veía bien con vestidos o faldas y como yo no podía, me daba muchísima rabia que otras chicas lo hicieran y, encima, se vieran tan bien con ellos. Pensando en esos años me río de lo equivocada que estaba entonces, pero las cosas no eran fáciles tampoco, así que no me culpo.



Me gusta mirar los escaparates y fijarme en los detalles de cada maniquí. Siempre me fijaba en los vestidos: diferentes colores, formas, estilos.... pero siempre acababa pasando de largo porque sabía que no me iba a poner uno nunca. Mi mente con los años ha ido cambiando y cuando uno se hace mayor, una parte de su mente se obsesiona con las inseguridades y a la vez a otra parte le empieza a dar igual lo que digan los demás (aunque siempre hasta cierto punto, en mi caso).

Hace tres o cuatro años me decidí a ponerme un vestido de nuevo. Desde que lo vi en el escaparate y después en mí, me enamoré por completo: hay que decir que en los probadores siempre se ve todo mejor así que estaba muy escéptica pero aun así di el paso y lo compré. Me acuerdo que me lo probé en cuanto llegué a casa y me acerqué al espejo temorosa. Alcé la vista y ahí estaba yo, con mi vestido puesto y mi pelo despeinado. Me miré y me miré y no me podía creer que estaba encantada con el resultado.

Ese momento me animó a mirar más y a probarme más y poco a poco creé algo de seguridad donde no la había. He de reconocer que sigo dando mil vueltas antes de decidirme a comprarme un vestido, más que de costumbre pero intento buscar la confianza y la comodidad que me da esa prenda cuando la llevo puesta sin pensar en si mis piernas se ven feas, o si son muy grandes o cualquier cosa que pueda pasar por mi mente en ese momento.




Gracias al paso que di años atrás, ahora disfruto llevando vestidos, faldas o shorts. Y a pesar de que aproveche cada espejo o escaparate para echarme un ojo y ver si todo está bien, estoy contenta con el resultado y eso es lo más importante, ¿no?

My Work Bag



Everyday we go to work and we need our essentials to survive another day.
I am out all day, it means that normally I take a lot with me (I always do, I am not gonna lie) and with a handbag is complicated. I HATE when my bag is too heavy or full.

I had this problem everyday, so I decided to buy a backpack. The question was: Which one?


I was searching one since months ago: it should be functional but cute because I wanted (and want) use it not just to go to work and that was the difficult part. But this week, I, finally, found it and I was (am) too excited that I wanted (want) to share it with all of you.




It was (is) love at first sight. 
Perfect size and enough pockets to keep everything organized. As you can see, it can be carried in two different ways; that means: functional.




The design is precious: flowers and birds in a classic print. I feel me so identificated with it... I just love it. 
Functional and cute; what can a fashionista like me ask for?
Now it is easier going to work and take all my stuff for the whole day with me. I don't feel it too heavy and I can use it everyday (and not just to work ;D)

My Daily Routine

Hello everybody!

Today I will show you how is my daily routine. My skin is extremely dry and sensitive (with redness). That's why I need take care of it every moment.

We can start with mornings:




After breakfast, I wash my face and I use the SKINDRINK Facial Moisturiser from LUSH (picture down below). It hydrates perfectly my skin and is 100% organic. I LOVE IT. 
Then I use the High Definition Primer from NYX. I use it not for a long time ago but I really like how my skin looks like after it.


























Now my skin is ready for make up. I've always used foundation but my  skin, apparently, isn't agree. So... I use just BB Cream, exactly the BB Cream (light skin) from Garnier. I am so happy with it; obsessed.




















I don't use it everyday because I don't think that I really need it but, anyway, it's make up. After the BB Cream comes the Super Stay 24 concealer. I normally use it after a hard day of work or when I didn't sleep well.































When I am ready with this it's time to the Nude Illusion Loose Powder from Catrice. It is transluced powder and I put it under my eyes so my concealer last all day. They are really good.


























Now I use another powder with a little bit of color (my skin is just too white). I have the Super Stay 24 Powder from Maybelline (I think mine is no more on store because I can't find it on the website).
































After the powder I put directly my mascara (for work I don't like use a lot of make up). My daily mascara is also from Maybelline and it called Great Lash . I love it. I think that for everyday it is really good and so pigmented.

































When I'm ready with my make up, I use the Makeup Setting Spray-Matte from NYX. It's the best for my make up and a day with a lot of work. My make up stays perfect all day and I really appreciate it.






























And now I can go to work and do my best looking natural and perfect.






At night...





After a long day my skin is the worst thing ever. It needs hydratation and a lot of love and cares. The Lush products have all the things I search for my skin. They are organic and don't test with animals. So, PERFECT.

First, I remove my make up and then it's time to use the Angels Bare Skin cleanser. It's a solid cleanser. It's easy to use and after that my skin isn't dry. I use it everyday because it's not dangerous for my skin.




















Then I use the Eau Roma Water spray also from Lush. It smells very well and feels so fresh in my skin. Sometimes I don't use the cleanser (it's okay when you have a 'rest' day) but I always use the spray. It's relaxing too.

And finally I use again the SKINDRINK  before I go to sleep. So my skin can take a rest after the day.























And then I am ready to go to sleep. :-)





I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

My favorite Outfit for Winter

Yesterday I went to the cinema to finally watch Star Wars: Rogue One. Here in Germany it's really cold for a Spanich girl so, I had to find the best combination for the cold and not too warm to the cinema.
I didn't want too much complications, so I went for the easy way and took one of my favorite winter Outfits.



It's the most easy Outfit that I have for winter: an old nightshirt from Oysho that I use like a normal shirt, termo-leggings from Forever 21 ( sometimes I wear it with black high waist jeans ) and my winter boots from Deichmann ( a shoes shop that I really love here in Germany ).




My shirt is 3 or 4 years old and, of course, I didn't find it anymore but I have a lot of alternatives which you can use too.



My termo-leggins are from Forever 21, I bought it last year but there aren't anymore so, you can wear the original leggings. For example, this one is from Forever 21 too. I am so happy with them. They are really comfortable and it cost just 4€ .







And the best boots for winter are this babies from Deichmann. My feets are warm all day and they are really cute :-)



Sometimes I mix this Outfit with another shirt or another shoes and details:




Same shirt but another shoes. I wear my leather Vans Old Skool all black. I love them.



They are not the same one but are so similar. 


When I wear the Vans I really love to wear a socks that match with the shirt. My socks have a bow which you can see with the shoes but the important thing is matching the colors.



Mine are from Calzedonia so I tried to find some from the same place. They are the same but without the bow.



And finally, when it's too cold, I wear a beanie. I like wear them. I think they are cute and can get a better Outfit.





I am a freak about cats so, I really need this beanie from Forever 21. This one is from last year and you can't find it anymore ( frustrating ) but you can wear every black beanie that you want.





I like this one too. I think it's really cute and the pom-pom isn't real fur; that's important too.





That's all about my favorite winter Outfit.

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

What I Wear To Work ( Autumn Version )

Like the most of you, I have to work everyday to earn money, yes, adult life. But that's not a problem if you love or like your work. The real big problem is what I should wear to work ( at lest me ) if I want to be comfortable, cute, and decent ( more if you work for a clothes shop ). 
Sometimes, if I have enough time, I prepare everything before I go to sleep ( Monday to Wednesday is okay because I am not too tired but the biggest deal is Thursday to Saturday ) : normally I wear jeans because are so comfortable and you can wear them with almost everything. When I decided which jeans I will wear, arrives the difficult part: should I a t-shirt wear? Or a shirt? Or a sweater? Because it's cold outside but at work it's sometimes warm... I can literally one or two hours thinking ( yes, I know, I tend to think too much ) what is the best outfit to wear. When, finally, everything is ready, I just need two minutes to decide which shoes / sneakers I will wear. It's easy because sneakers are the most comfortable thing to work. 

After all this caos, appears some outfits that I really, really love:



Normally I am always so simply. Black jeans ( Forever 21 ) , one of my favorites shirts ( Forever 21 ) and my lovely sneakers ( Adidas Superstar ).



In Winter I am not so enthusiastic with my outfit but that's not mean that they're bad. Here I wore black termo leggins ( Forever 21 ) because I had enough with my jeans ( too cold ) and then a long burgundy shirt / dress ( Forever 21 ). This time with booties ( I bought them in Spain, in a local shop ) and a funny Owl necklace ( Accessorize ) that means a lot to me.



This is one of my favorites outfits. I am obsessed with this sweater ( Kookai ); it's back-free and sparkle. I really like it. I combined with ripped blue jeans ( Calzedonia ) and sneakers (Adidas Superstar). It's cute, comfortable and classy.



I remember this outfit. I tried to find the perfect outfit to work and after that drink something with my friends without come home. It was a little bit complicated but the result was very good, in my opinion, of course. Grey jeans ( Forever 21 ) with my old but still pretty turquoise sneakers ( Vans ) and a cute rosa t-shirt ( Only ) and a black kimono ( Forever 21 ), perfect to everyday and also to go out.



One of the most comfortable outfit that exists ( okay, I exaggerated too much, everyone knows that the piyama is the most comfortable oufit ever but this one almost too ). Black jeans ( Forever 21 ) combined with a thin grey sweater ( Forever 21 ) and a grey cardigan (Forever 21 -- You discovered where I work, right? :-P ) 



That's from two weeks ago. I bought that grey oversize sweater ( Pull&Bear ) in Spain; I felt in love at the moment I saw it. I really love the oversize sweaters and I am a big fan about they look like when I wear them. This one es too fluffy and the color is amazing. I wore it with black leggins ( Forever 21 ) and black sneakers ( Adidas ). But you can wear it with jeans or with panties too ( depent if it's so cold or not ). The neacklace ( Forever 21 ) gives a little bit of color and makes the outfit not boring.



This one is the top for these sunny autumn days. I love then it's cold but the sun is shinning because I am obsessed with jackets and cardigans and that way I can wear them everytime. This time I wanted light colors because the sun so, I wore blue jeans ( Forever 21 ) and a rosa long arm shirt ( Only ) with a jeans shirt ( Forever 21 ). It was colder as I though so, I wore a flower blue cardigan ( Zara ) and I was really happy about my decision. And always with my white-rosa ( yes, it's rosa but sometimes filters... you know ) sneakers ( Adidas Superstar).




I have a lot of outfits that I could show you but they are my favorites for this season. Sometimes it is really complicated for me to find a good combination but I enjoy doing it, so, I am always thinking about it. Always.
