Coachella Must Haves♥

Coachella Must Haves♥



Converse white sneaker, $65 / Studded booties, $34 / 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag / Cole Haan wool hat / Vintage sunglasses / Shiseido / Jeffrey Campbell tartan shoes / Manual da Câmera Digital Canon EOS 60D


 These are a few things that you just absolutely can not forget during Coachella! Read on If you wanna know why!♥

 1. Hats! You want to make sure you protect yourself from the extreme sun you'll be under and a hat is protective yet stylish!

2. Sunblock! Last thing you want is to get sun burned but this isn't something you should just use on special occasions, this is something that you MUST wear every single day to prevent sun damage and age spots! But especially for Coachella since you'll be in the sun the whole day.

3. Crossbody or Backpack! If your planning on busting a move those days then I suggest getting a bag that doesn't require either hands! As the day progresses, you'll want someone else to carry your bag for you so don't put yourself through it all. Just wear a crossbody or backpack!

4. FLATS! You will be doing a lot of walking and it wont be fun walking around in heels all day in the heat. Plus, your moves wont be as on point than if you were to wear flats!

5. Sunnies! protect your eyes loves!

6. Camera! Dont forget to take your Camera! You'll need it for that special moment when your all time fav artist smiles at YOU over a crowd of people. Plus its great to keep those memories with friends alive! ♥


 Thanks for reading ♥ Let me know in a comment below what your must haves are :)

 Monday's Adventure to Six Flags♥

Took this when my Boyfriend and I were on our way to Six Flags. Top: Forever21 Sunnies: Target

Bought new Sneaks since I knew I was going to be walking A LOT at six flags and they felt so good throughout the day. Shoes: Vans ,which I think were actually guys shoes but I didn't care lol I loved these shoes the moment I layed eyes on them. Paired them with some distressed skinnies from Forever21

Gorgeous view on the way to Six Flags. ♥_♥

This is where I got Butterflies

Superman Ride... I skipped this one LOL. I've gone on it before and its not as bad as it looks but I chickened out yesterday for some reason lol. Next time!

So this is how my weekend/weekday went. All photos were taken by me and on my Instagram! The link to my instagram is on the link bar on my page at the very top so feel free to take a look! I didn't take too many photos on Easter, I was having too much fun with family lol. As for Six flags, My boyfriend and I both got season passes since it was only $64 each. That is deal! Especially since we both LOVE six flags and go so often. How was your Easter? Let me know in a comment below ♥ Thanks for reading!

Healthy Foods for Glowing Skin♥




So lately, now that I've been eating healthy, I've been trying to find ways to also improve my skin. Now let me tell you, I've been sorta "Lucky" in this department because back when I was younger in my high school and even younger days, I would wear makeup. I started wearing makeup ( compact & mascara ) in 7th grade. I didn't need it because I never broke out and my skin was clear and I had a good natural complexion, but I always had a love for makeup. Watching my mom powder her face and eyelids intrigued me & I always wanted to wear it myself. Now as you know, kids are lazy! I was definitely the lazy kid who was too lazy to take her makeup off before bed. Most of the time I did, but there were some days when I was just like "Forget this ...zzzZZZZZZZ". So I'd wake up expecting a zit on my forehead, and ... nothing. I did this multiple times. Not because I knew I wouldn't break out, It was just purely out of laziness lol! So my skin was always really great but of course I'm human, so yes, A feww times I'd get a pimple here and there but not very often and they never lasted as long as most people. I'm talking like a day or two and it would be gone! & This is the absolute truth! ... or was. Now that I've gotten "older", my skin isn't as strong as it used to be. Although to some people it may look great, I see what others cant because I see myself everyday! & I want my skin to feel healthy along with my body. So eating healthy is a great way to start for both skin and body! I've looked all over for different types of foods that help your skin. By eating them and making great skin care recipe's as well.

 So without Further Ado, here's a list of yummy foods that I've learned are amazing for your skin:

 1. Avocados! Everywhere I look, I see avocados. They're beneficial for everything! Your skin, your health including your heart! The fat in Avocados help protect you from heart disease! Oleic Acid is the reason for this! It's found in avocados and research has shown that this fatty acid improves cardiovascular health! Its also a great source of protein, It's high in vitamins & It also prevents aging!




2. Berries! They help protect your skin from UV damage which causes sun/age spots! Sprinkle this on some yogurt of your choice and your good to go! It's also a pore tightener! There's so many different skin care recipe's for you to try at home to tighten the pores on your T-Zone! If your anything like me, you probably have huge pores on your nose and chin and its not the cutest sight when seen up close! I'm definitely looking into some great organic recipes to try with berries to help with that! 






3. Olive Oil! One of my fav's! I love this a slice of Ezekiel 4:9 bread, with a slice of tomato on top and a bit of pepper! ..YUM! It help Reduce inflammation and prevents premature aging. It also help hydrate your skin to give you a glowing complexion.

4. Another great super food is MANGOS! Eeeep my absolute favorite fruit in the world! They're packed with Vitamin A which helps to maintain & repair skin cells! Without your daily dose of vitamin A, Your skin will look dry and flaky... no thanks!& Its not that hard to start eating more fruit. It soooo yummy and soo good for you, they're literally Natures Dessert♥







Now I can go on and on about the massive amounts of food that are great for your skin but there's just too many to list! But these are just a few of my fav's that I eat very often. Especially now that I'm on a healthy eating plan! It's time to shape up babes! Spring is already here and Summer is on its way. Let me know in a comment below what your favorite foods are that are great for your skin and well being:)

Miss this!

So it's literally been a MONTH since I last blogged. Its been killing me lately but I just honestly did not feel up to doing anything with this hectic schedule I have now. Working full time and barely having time for myself & sleep is making me go nuts. But, I know this is only temporary till I get the opportunity to work for a company I love. Then maybe it wont be such a drag! I missed blogging and getting inspired by so many other bloggers, so much so, that I'm taking a break from my Interior Design homework, to blog & destress! But I'm finally starting to get the hang of juggling a bunch of things at once and starting to manage my time a little bit better, so that I have time for me & other people in my life. & Like I said before... SLEEP! lol I have to admit, I am a little grump when I don't get the right amount of sleep so its a must for me to get enough hours of sleep or my day goes horribly. Another thing I have on my plate, is trying to get fit! I've been saving a couple hrs out my days to workout! One of the thing I love most is hiking! Its a great way work your buns and thighs and it's such a stress reliever. Just last Monday, on my day off, I went to Echo Mtn in I think it's Altadena. If you know the area, it's literally alllll the way down Lake ave! That's probably the best hike I've ever done! The whole entire trail in Incline! & Its seems never ending! lol You might get like 2 seconds of a straight trail but then it goes back up lol but trust me, if you ever go, DON'T QUIT! The view is amazing and it feels so good once you get to the top! You even have a choice to go up a separate trail that 7 miles more the other one. But lord knows I'd probably pass out 5 min into in lol. But I hope to one day hike up that separate trail! I've also been eating pretty healthy but still allowing myself a cheat day to look forward to. But starting this week, I wont have a cheat day for maybe 2-3weeks. I gotta go hard especially since I have an event I have to go to on June 20th... So I got to be "bikini ready" by then! Im determined & excited :) Anywho, I'm also really looking forward to blogging more so I'll be on this a lot more from now on! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

& Btw I have so many great healthy recipe's to share with you all soon! :)

Last Night + OOTN♥ + F21 HAUL



Hi guys♥ So last night(Friday) I decided to have a night out with some friends & get work off of my mind! I think we all deserve those nights to just forget what stresses us out & have some FUN♥ I went shopping extremely last minute, like Thursday night after work, right before the mall was about to close so I had to hurry and find an outfit to wear. Forever21 was my best bet so I went there considering the one at Santa Anita Mall is sooooo huge! Probably the biggest one out there and they just remodeled it a few months ago so its really huge and impossible to go through the entire store in one hour lol. The outfit posted above and below, is all from Forever 21! EXCEPT my studded wedges which are part of the Kardashian Kollection. I got them a year ago so I don't think they have them in stores anymore but I'll post a link to similar ones below so keep reading if your interested in buying anything from the outfit I chose :) I love the edgy-ness the leather skirt and basic graphic tee brings when they come together. Of course, I had to add a little bit of girly-ness to this edgy look. Paired it with some gold accessories & pink bag I got as a gift for Christmas from Aldos:) I'm pretty happy I got to see a lot of friend's I hadn't seen in so long! I needed last night so bad! lol I really have the worst work hours ever! So tonight I decided to just stay in and relax & listen to some Pandora! :) Anyways Thanks for reading this rant. lol below I'll post links to last night's OOTN♥ Enjoy!

Top(similar or pick your own here), Skirt, Earrings, Ring, Necklace, Heels(Similar Here but i like these better!)




Hope you enjoyed this post ♥
