#Hello FALL!

2011-10-11T20:59:00.000-07:00

My dearest friends. Fall is here and for the past 5 days the weather in NY has been amazing. Not cold at all and pretty much sunny all the time.
Very happy for it!
But we all know its going to be super cold and so I am preparing for it...
My skin has gotten a lot lighter and I am definitely loosing my tan so my makeup is going to be changing. I have bought new blush, lipsticks and nail polish.
One of my favorite lipsticks right now is Covergirl in Euphoria. Its a deep plum and looks amazing! Here is a picture:

Yes or No?

FALL ESSENTIALS

2011-09-20T20:25:00.000-07:00

Seeing that the weather is changing... here are some things I definitely use for the fall. (minus the boots- those need to be purchased!) I love how you can style them with knee-high socks. They look so cute!

HOLA!

2011-09-14T07:51:00.000-07:00

Dear friends, Im back again with another update! Im finally back in the US and getting to see all the faces I have not seen in years. It is very refreshing to see them and talk about all the wonderful memories we've had, specially after getting off the ship after 9 months. Overall I am happy I did the cruise because I learned much about life and met amazing people from around the world. I promise you again!... that I will update this blog more, just give me some time to get myself settled. I have a new video for you too! check it out!

Working at USHUAIA

2011-07-20T13:51:00.000-07:00

Ushuaia is basically a "fiesta hotel" in ibiza, its a luxurious accomodation but also has amazing parties; one of which I actually started working at. On wednesdays one of my favorite DJS play there which are Swedish House Mafia and I started working there for Christian Audigier! Its a really fun gig! Here are some pics of the first night!

Gone for while but back for longer.

2011-07-03T14:01:00.000-07:00

I have been gone since that last post I wrote. Last time I was transferring to a different ship for my last two months and I have grown alot. At this moment I am off the ship and staying in ibiza. YES, Ibiza! its a pretty crazy place, alot of fun and very very hot. I will keep this post short because I have so much to update this blog on. It actually overwhelms me a bit. I need to do new videos and just get back to the things I used to love doing.

I will see you guys soon!
Thanks again for the followers on this blog and the ones on my youtube channel!

BTW this picture was taken at llaollao. One of my favorite frozen yogurt places in IBIZA!

Living and working on a ship is probably one of the hardest things I had to do. Being away from family and friends, working 12 hours days with little time off, not being able to eat whenever or as many times as you want,getting pressured to sell, not getting paid salary or hourly.I mean theres a lot of pros and cons but to me theres mostly cons. Everyone sees the outside ("you get to travel", "youre on vacation") but noone sees the internal side of it. Anyways I dont want to make this a negative entry because I am actually very excited!
Ive been on the same ship for about 7 months cruising the mediterrenean and then carribbean (for the most part) and now I am getting transferred to a different ship that will be cruising the baltic sea! This means amsterdam, paris, dover (england), azores and portugal!
I cant wait to go to the Eiffel Tower! I actually purchased a new camera which I will be very excited of using... just need to learn how to use it a bit better.

Well this is pretty much a little update! Promise to update more. I actually forgot my password and had a hard time getting it back. I couldnt sign on &:o(

Take care and tootles!

Hello dear amigos! i have been away for a very long time! Ive been working a lot and unfortunately the internet on the ship isnt the fastest so I really cant update as much as I'd like. Working on ships is definitely the hardest job but hey at least you travel right?
I've been to a couple of places and theres definitely a list of places I want to go back to... mainly europe!

Now for all my youtube subscribers, I am working on updating my site and doing more videos of my travel but also makeup so stay tuned on new videos! Im very excited about them. For now I will leave you but promise to update soon!

LONDON

2010-09-12T13:44:00.000-07:00

The flight to london was good . I pretty much slept the whole time. Once I arrived I looked for the underground tube but it wasn't running so I had to take the bus. I sat at the bus stop waiting for it for about 2 hours. While I waited I listened to my iPod and noticed that the people seemed mean. I asked questions and they all gave me one word answers and seemed like they didn't want to help. I also noticed the guys style , it's different from the US and I really like it. And then there was the pigeons, it was as if I totally forgot they existed since I don't see them in FL. Took me back to NY.
Ill be updating as soon as I can!

In search for a new concealer.

2010-08-14T01:03:00.000-07:00

Ive been looking for a new under eye concealer and heard great reviews for the Maybelline Age Rewind one. I decided to go to target and get it along with the E.L.F concealer and almay liquid eyeliner. They are all great buys!

Ive also been trying to update my shoes so I got these 3 new pairs. I love them! Oh and the shoe liners are perfect to wear with the oxford shoes!

OXFORD

2010-08-10T19:20:00.000-07:00

Finally found a pair that I liked, looked good and were comfortable at only $16! love them!

bittersweet.

2010-08-09T22:06:00.000-07:00

I think I found out the true meaning of bittersweet. Yes I am leaving to London and then to work on a ship for 9 months and I know this will be an amazing experience for me. I am very thankful and happy for the opportunity but I am also sad because I am leaving people I love. I've never been anywhere just by myself and I am leaving the love of my life but it'll be a new chapter in the life of spiffy book. I just pray that things go well.
This is the hardest goodbye so far...

Not goodbye but see you soon.

Symptoms of depression:

1~sadness, tearfulness, crying.Also, crying for no apparent reason.

2~hopelessness feeling that life is not worth living or worth the effort to even maintain their appearance.

3~less interest in activities; or not enjoying previously favorite activities dropping out of clubs, sports, and other activities. Not much seems fun anymore.

4~persistent boredom; low energy Lack of motivation and lowered energy level is reflected by missed classes or not going to school. A drop in grade averages can be equated with loss of concentration and slowed thinking.

5~social isolation, poor communication lacking connection with friends and familys. avoiding family gatherings and events. Teens who used to spend a lot of time with friends may now spend most of their time alone and without interests. not sharing feelings with others, believing that you are alone in the world and no one is listening to you or even cares about you.

6~low self esteem and guilt assuming blame for negative events or circumstances. you may feel like a failure and have negative views about their competence and self-worth. you feel as if you are not "good enough."

7~extreme sensitivity to rejection or failure believing that you are unworthy, becoming even more depressed with every supposed rejection or lack of success.

8~increased irritability, anger, or hostility often irritable, taking out most of the anger on your family. you may attack others by being critical, sarcastic, or abusive.

9~difficulty with relationships you may suddenly have no interest in maintaining friendships. you'll stop calling and visiting their friends. you also may have lost a loved one or had a bad relationship with ur bf/gf

10~frequent complaints of physical illnesses, such as headaches and stomachaches complaining about lightheadedness or dizziness, being nauseous, and back pain. Other common complaints include headaches, stomachaches, vomiting, and menstrual problems.

12~poor concentration having trouble concentrating on schoolwork, following a conversation, or even watching television.

13~a major change in eating and/or sleeping patterns Sleep disturbance may show up as all-night television watching, having a hard time getting up for school, or sleeping during the day. Loss of appetite may become anorexia or bulimia. Eating too much may result in weight gain and obesity.

A lot of these are exactly what I'm going through... Im upsetting people for isolating myself and I am really really sorry. I thought time was going to help but its getting worse.

I really wished I lived closer to the beach to just walk or truly connect with nature. Nature makes me feel happy.

P.S.- I changed my whole playlist because the other one was a year old.
