LITTLE MISS COMMANDER

Hello beautiful people.If you're reading this,then my amazing kinky twists are no more(moment of silence).
Somebody please tell me what to do to my scalp.I went back to my doctor and he prescribed another batch of crazy expensive and tiny shampoo and lotion for me.I hope this set does the job because i don't know how much more i can take.
If they work(my knees are on the floor and all my fingers are crossed) i'll share the results to help anyone who has scalp issues.
This friday  i had the camo- fever.I wore camouflage trousers once at my sister's place during the holidays and when we were about to go out she asked me to please change so that i don't get harassed by army officials.He  he i had no idea.
I'm loving these babies though.They were pretty affordable and really comfortable.
We are having a short break here and i think i've slept for 2 days straight thanks to the cold i've been fighting.Feeling much better now though and trying to stop watching Castle.If you haven't checked it out and you like crime series,you should;)

 you know you own too many cross pieces when you're wearing three at once.(sorry about the wrinkly top.was tucked into a surgery suit for hours)  :)

if this jacket could talk,it would say ''Cynthia please let go''.:P

             



                         

This ring is a gift from my big sister and one of my oldest and favorite pieces of jewelry :) thanks Jalo.luff ya.

Get up and go.Wherever,to do whatever or see whomever you want to.Design your life and live it as you chose to.Don't do things you don't want to do only to be accepted and in the same light,don't reject things you want because you feel people will think less of you.This is your life and the first breath you took today was your invitation to start living it.YOUR WAY.

JADE-ed AGAIN.

Hello my lovelies,how's your day going.I can't figure out why i don't miss home as much as i used to.Maybe its because graduation is really close and its not a ''go home and come back to school'' kinda holiday.Its a ''go home,get a job,pay your bills and welcome to real life ''kinda holiday.
I'm excited on one hand because i get to try loads of new things and i don't know what's coming and i'm not so ''yipee'' on the other hand because this whole phase of my life is over.
I've been a student for as long as i can remember even during the holidays when i was younger,my mum had me in some sort of school learning something.its gonna be a bit weird not having to answer to anybody at the end of the year but still wonderful because I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANYBODY!
Tried on my jade green jeans today.Green is one of my least favorite colors but this green i like.I've had it for almost a year and this is the second time i'm wearing it.I should bust out this baby more often.:) Pasar bien...
Update: School officially ended for me today.So i'm no longer a student.Yippidy yay!. My classmate tried to remember our first class here.Its true what they say...Time flies.

you can probably tell i'm the''use one bag until it begs for mercy'' kinda girl.:)

 ''i feel like paparazzi''-he said when he took this picture.

 Somebody please explain why i love black n white pictures so much.

you know you are tiny when jeans made for short girls still bunch up on you:)

Start now to do more of the things you love.There's usually less time than we think.
Have a wonderful week.

GOING BACK...

Hello gorgeous,i hope you are having a wonderful weekend.I'm sitting here with a tall,pretty, pink cup full of water and wondering what's going on with me.My entire system seems determined to teach me a lesson.From my hair to my skin...there's some kinda revolt against moi going on.Help!
Had a pretty regular week and if i've not said it before,''i love my teacher''.This has to be the most stress free course i've had in six years.
How was your week.I hope you achieved all you set out to and so much more.
I decided to try posting older stuff  to see if i like it.Normally,i write on the day something happens so that i remember everything clearly.Let's see how catching up feels.

i love these kinky twists! it was made to keep me happy:)

this laptop bag turned school bag has served faithfully for 3 years.To thrift stores...i'm glad i found you.

 almost everyday is sneaker day.

 Sparkle and shine :*
  
Enjoy this last day of the weekend loveys and do whatever you need to make you happy.Stay blessed and too fabulous for reason.

SPRING!!! FINALLY.

Hello my lovelies,i hope everyone is having an amazing day.Took a short break from posting because it seemed like everything i wrote in my journal had some uncertainty hidden inside.I needed to take some time to work on stuff.Truth is,i'm still not done.But i guess that's life...you keep on keeping on.
The weather has been so much better here and we can finally say its Spring:).A couple of weeks late but no one's complaining.So this is me checking in and praying that i can keep my posts a bit more frequent.For my next post i'm pretty sure we are going to cook!!:) 
i'm super excited cos my challenge has worked out so far.I'm half way through the month and not a burger has been eaten he he.
I've made a few new(to me) and easy meals to fight the lazy days and i'd love to share with you.So fingers crossed,a smile and trust i'll do that soon.
Here's what the first few days of spring have looked like for me...(warning-picture overload:)

THAT LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Hello beautiful person reading this.I hope your week went well and you're having a wonderful Saturday.My week was crazy good.I feel really blessed.Remember that course that wanted to turn my hair grey? it succeeded in making me skip my meals 2 days in a row! I thought i saw a white light! But we are done with it and everything went well.
Its funny how one little thing you dwell on for too long and turn into a big problem and disrupt your entire life.I'm glad that's over*doing my happy dance*.
So i thought i'd share something new today.Something i'm so proud of and happy with.
I've wanted a black dress for a while but i wanted one that will work in different ways for me (i love multifunctional things).So i made me one! yes! 
It was a little difficult at first to find something that will work but i did it! (self high five).
Here are few of the pictures my friend took of it :)

with a bit of edge( DIY spiked epaulette).I love spikes!

a bit of a close up and talking to my friend's wife.

without the epaulettes( the little peekaboo shows how the sleeves are attatched)

without sleeves(DIY ankara necklace) Tutorial coming soon.

can also be worn with the spikes sleeveless:)

with my asymmetric peplum :)

Karl Largerfield said ''one is never over or under dressed with a little black dress" and boy was he right.
                        short video on my youtube channel.

I started sewing to distract myself from everything that seemed to be going wrong in my life at the time and it worked because i fell in love...
That's it for my convertible little black dress.Hopefully,i can come up with more ways to wear and i'll share!
Have a lovely weekend schweeties.

FELIZ PASCUA

Hello beautiful people.Happy Easter! Hope you all are having the best of days.March is over and i'm super excited because the semester is gonna be over soon.Do you ever just feel like you've done something too long and you just want to move on to the next part? That's kinda how i feel about school right now.
I'm also really psyched about April because i'm doing a ''NO JUNK FOOD'' challenge.Exercising is great and its helping but i think what we eat is extremely important.I'm a bit of a fooodie, I loooooove food(some times too much).
I went through a comfort eating phase a couple of years back and it took a lot determination to stop.As happy as food makes me,its unhealthy to over indulge.
So i'll try not to eat any junk food for the whole month.One day at a time.
Here's what Easter looked like for moi...

love my funky new hair:)

I wish you all a very happy Easter.One filled with peace,love,happiness,all the blessings that this day brings and so much more.
