2014 Is Going To Be Better......

 

Can't believe is going to be 2014 already. I remembered last year at this same time thinking i only had one semester to go. 2013 has been year full of challenges, surprises, goal achiever and much more. I am not going to be here and say that i didn't have my moments where I have found myself in frustrated moments and thought why me? But this 2013 brought joy to my family. The end of a mile stone and finally reaching one of mine and my moms goal. Graduating from college with honors.

 All of that was possible through the hard work and effort i put through out the whole journey( 4 yrs in a half) and  my mom being my number ONE mentor. Education has always been number one in my home. It has always been a priority of my Mom and Dad to get a college degree and it happen in 2013. Now the challenges of being an adult and start job hunting or attending grad school. That has been something that has kept me up some nights. Job hunting has not been the best. I haven't had that chance yet to demonstrate what I am capable of career wise.

 I studied Broadcast Journalism my goal is to be a reporter. That opportunity has not come yet. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to make that happen. And possibly attend grad school in the summer of 2014. 

My other goal is to be more positive. sometimes i am just way to negative. I think that i am not going to make it or achieve something but as my mom says ( La Paciencia es Amarga pero sus frutos son dulces). Basically it means patience is hard but if you wait you will see the positive outcome. I have to be more positive and not so harsh on myself. I admit sometimes i can be my worst critic. 

I also want to keep blogging. I want to give a new face to the blog. I have reached a graphic designer and we started talking on how i want my blog to look. I want to meet more readers and share with you my passions, knowledge for things, such as Beauty or Fashion. But also bits of my personal life.

And last keep eating healthy and working out. Over this past year in half i have lost over 40 pounds. I was not happy with myself, my body and not healthy. I decided to change that, I am not going to say i have reached my goal, but i will say that I am a new Andrea. That has learned to eat healthy. Enjoys to workout and feel proud of myself. I learned what are my strenght and weakness. I want to keep up working on my health. And again with patience and hard work anything is possible. As my mom says.

I hope you spend a New Years Eve with your  Family and Friends and if you don't,  remember that you are never alone. God is by your side. Enjoy and see you next year.

XOXO Andrea

Outfit Ideas For New Years

 dress / shirt /mini skirt / sandals /  flat /  Clutch / necklace / lipstick / black mascara /  eye liner

 

Every year for New Years Eve I tend to wear black or Red. This year I decided to do an outfit inspiration on one of my favorite color Nude or Champagne, ivory, creme, blush how ever you want to call it. Here I have two outfit inspirations for New Years. They are both nude have  sequin and i think both are statement outfits for a home or city party.

Outfit One is all about glam. Is a dress with sequin touches in the color nude. This dress fits perfect with a pair of strappy heel sandals and a red clutch. It is sexy but very classy. This dress is all about showing legs and arms. I have added the same clutch for both outfits. The girl on outfit number One is ready to party like Mr. Gatsby. Is ready spent the whole night dancing at a New Years Eve party at a lounge or a roof top. 

Outfit number Two is more of a casual home dinner party. To tell you the truth i am more of outfit number two than one. Most of the time I spent New Years Eve in my home with my family. If my family decide to make a party is in one of my aunts house. which is full of my little cousins and family members. This outfit is a bit more conservative but makes the outfit super fun with the sequin skirt and the spike strappy flats. Which. I. love. I added to the outfit a bib necklace that has gold touches. As i said before i have left the same clutch for both outfit. Red is the perfect  pop of color for such a light colored outfit such as these.

As for the makeup i have decided to keep it super clean. Remember less is more. With all the sequin and the pop of color on the bag you don't want to over do it. It's all about being a true lady and looking elegant. keep it minimal with a simple cat eye liner, a couple of mascara coats and a red lipstick. you will look beautiful. 

I hope you spent a great night and don't forget to look gorgeous even if it's just to stay at your home and have dinner with your family. Remember Is all about welcoming the New Year.

Get Your Glam On !

Lately In My Life ........

I can't believe that March is already here. It seems like yesterday that I was starting my semester. But I cannot complain this means spring is closer each day and that I am near graduation. I don't tend to write a lot more about me in the blog. Don't know why but lately I have been  feeling like writing  more about what goes down in life. I  have decided to write about what went on  in February. These pictures reflect what I have been doing these weeks.

 

Working my Butt off in the gym ( so far I have kept  my NYE Resolution) HI 5

 

 Girls night out with the best friend. And Yes i cried a lot !! (cry baby here)

 

Have been sick for over a week ( ugh I hate being sick) Asthma pumps because I am asthmatic 

 

New Wedge Sneaker similar to these but way more affordable (target is always good to me)

Oh and BTW most comfortable shoes i ever wore !! OBSESSED !

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend  I am going to be stuck at home  writing papers and studying for upcoming midterms

XOXO Andrea

New Year, New Body

 Workout Pants / Running Sneakers / Water Bottle / Dumbbells / Yoga Mat / Hair Ties / Tee

The famous New Year resolution is to loose weight . I have included this year not to loose weight but to be healthy and fit. I think is time for me to change my lifestyle from the way I eat to the way I workout. I admit that I am lazy sometimes to get up and workout but when I see that I am loosing weight I get more motivated. In this post I have the typical girly outfit which it's a big motivation for me . I like to look cute when I workout I feel much better and overall i feel with more energy. I know it might sound a bit ridiculous but hey what ever makes you keep going on is going to help more. These are the basics for a good workout the Yoga mat for when I am doing crunches or have to lay down it's great because I don't hurt my back. the water bottle cannot be forgotten and a couple of hair ties because I really hate when I am doing some Cardio and my hair is all over the place. So what is your plan this year to stay FIT? Remember that is okay to indulge once a week in something you like its a combination of play hard and enjoying life.
