SUMMER IS OVER


Cadiz, Spain

Hi there! 
It’s been ages since I last was around here. It feels weird, but it really feels great! I wanted to start again posting a few months ago but I chose to stay focused with uni and I was working too. Then summer came and I chose to enjoy my summer. So that brings me here, my last day of holidays, as tomorrow I start university classes again.
I believe it is a good moment to come back to the blog and start posting again. I have way too much things to share with you. 
I am not going to reveal lots of things in this post but I can tell you lots of exciting things are yet to come!
I have mixed feelings about going back to uni tomorrow. I am sad because my vacations are over and it is time to go back to the real world. I am not going to be able to be outdoors as much as I would like to. Studying an engineering career means I have crazy schedules which leave me with not a lot of free time. I would also like to work again to be able to save some money. Having said that, my main goal is to be more organised and make time for me. 
I intend on being around here qiute a lot and I also have a couple of projects in mind…
Hope you had a lovely summer and if you are still on vacation I can only tell you to enjoy it while it last…
Good luck going back to work/uni/school and see you very soon!

LIFE UPDATE

Tumblr

Hello there!
As you may have noticed I am not around here that much anymore and this is because I had not had the best couple of weeks lately. I am a cheerful and happy person most of the time, but I don't really know why but for the last few weeks I've been feeling a little sad and down. 2015 was a year where a lot of good things happened but there were some pretty tough moments too. So when 2016 started I had a good feeling about it. January was okay. However, these last few days I've felt as if I do not know where I belong and it is kind of upsetting me! I usually know what I really want and I go for it but lately this has changed.
I've had the busiest couple of weeks (uni related), with no time for myself and no time for working out or anything else. 
When it came to posting something for the blog I found myself with lots of ideas but not wanting to write/do anything. I felt as if I was trapped somewhere. 
Friends related, I should begin to accept that people come and go. And that is okay, I have to assume that there is no good in forcing something that is not supposed to happen.
So due to all of this I've realized that what I need is some excitement in my life. I've been feeling like that for a long time but I assume that it has come to a time when I have to do something about it. Sometimes it's better to write your thoughts in order to be able to have a clear idea of what you are really going through and from there you can start to move on. So from now on my number one priority is my well-being and feeling good. 
To finish I want to share the first to sentences of one of the songs that I am loving right now, it describes very good how I've been feeling. It's from 'Remedy' by Adele and it goes like this:

'I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be
So desperate to find a way out of my world 
And finally breath'

So after this deep post I say goodbye! I hope you enjoy what you can find here in my blog. I originally opened it as a place where I can share what I really feel with no limits and not aiming that some person will be at the other side of the screen reading what I post.
A few months ago I tried to establish a schedule for my post but everything that is uploaded to my blog is definitely something I love so I am never going to put up content that I do not like. That's why I am not around here as often as I used to.
So because of that I am very very grateful if at least one person reading this enjoys what she/he sees!
Thank you for taking the time to read my post!
I will be around here sooner than you think!


MY YEAR IN...

Hi there! Today is the last day of 2015 so I just wanted to look back and bring back some of my favorite bits of this year! I hope 2015 was a good year for you! And if it wasn’t I am sure that 2016 will bring great things for everyone!
For me it was definitely a year or changes! A lot of things changed in my life, some for the good and others not so much.

Let’s start, this is MY YEAR IN:

MUSIC

It was a great year in music. There is nothing I love the most than music so I always get so excited when there are new albums to come!
One of the reason why I love autumn is because a lot of artists release their albums during those months. So the artists I enjoyed the most are: 
- The Weeknd: his album 'Beauty behind madness' is a piece of art. I love his style, but what I love the most is his voice. 
- One direction: They have been my guilty pleasure since they started in the x factor. I was sad when Zayn left but I was also excited when 'Made in the AM' was about to be released and I completely loved it when it did. I feel that it is much more mature than their previous ones and I love their sound! I love the songs 'If I could fly' and 'Perfect'.The only thing is that I am sad that their 'hiatus' has already begun but I understand that it is what they need.
- Justin Bieber: it has been a huge year for JB, his hit 'Where are you now' gave us a small hint of what his album coming up was going to be. When 'Purpose' was released I completely fell in love with it! You can really notice the influence by Skrillex and Diplo in it and that is a good thing. The vibe is so great and his voice is amazingly good! Since 'Sorry' came out I cannot stop dancing and singing to it! And another song that I love is 'Love yourself' which was written by my beloved Ed Sheeran.
-Tori Kelly: I have no words to describe how much I love her voice, her music, her hair... I love everything about her! Her performance on stage is incredible and her album 'Unbreakable smile' is a master piece. The songs I love the most are 'I was made for loving you' and 'Should've been us'.

Those four artists are just some that have been more appealing to me but there have been so many more that have been incredible such as Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez ('Hands to myself'), Adele...


LIFE

As I said at the beginning this was a year of change and the biggest one was that I was studying Chemical Engineering and now I am studying Biomedical Engineering which is what I really wanted in the first place! So I am quite happy about that!
On the other hand by changing my career I had to leave some friends behind. Last year I met some of the best people I know and I am so thankful for that. Sometimes, there are people you know from a short period of time that prove you more than people you know your entire life, so that is kind of what happened to me! But as nowadays is very easy to keep in touch with people you don’t see every single day we are as close as when I was there! But I miss them so much.
On the other hand, going to a new class has taken me to meet some new people, I only met them 3 months ago but I can say that they are great people and I can feel a great friendship over the years!
Then, by going to Ireland by myself and live there for two months has made me more independent and mature. I learnt to appreciate everything I have and the effort it takes. I am so thankful for this amazing experience and I will always remember it with love and affection.

MOVIES, TV AND BOOKS


I am more into tv shows than movies, so that is why I am going to share some of my favorite with you. This year the shows that I have enjoyed the most are:
- Pretty Little Liars: I really enjoyed the last season but I am not happy with the last episode at all and with who A is.
- How to get away with murder: I loved this last season! this show keeps surprising me! It evens makes me want to study law! 
- Stitchers: This is a new tv show that I liked! I think that the idea is quite original and you should give it a try!
- The Royals: this series is fun, entertaining and very interesting! I absolutely love it!

When it comes to movies the only thing I can say is that for the first time I have watch all the Star Wars saga. I have to say that I thought I wasn't going to like it at first but I was completely wrong. I absolutely love it! I only have to watch the one that is now on cinemas and I am looking forward to it!
I have read a couple of books this year but the one I have enjoyed the most is Paper Towns by John Green. I love the way he writes and this book is amazing!




Page 365 of 365






So that is everything for today, next time I post it will be a new year and maybe some new year resolutions will be around here! I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon!
Have a great end of 2015 and beginning of 2016!
Thanks for reading!

SUMMER HAS ARRIVED!!




Hello there! I know it is not summer yet but it kind of feels like it is. Here in Madrid the hot weather has already arrived haha But summer doesn't mean holidays. I have tons of exams left and this year my vacations don't start till July.
Last night I was thinking about this summer coming and I realized I do not have anything planned yet. I would love to go back to England or plan a good trip. But this is not necessarily the most important things.
This summer I want to try new things and get to know new places. It can be about Madrid or it can be about another place. I want it to be awesome and not boring at all.
So I have promised myself that I will start doing new things this summer. I already have a few projects in mind.
I hope you have an amazing summer!
I will see you soon!!

BANANA AND NUTS SMOOTHIE

Hi there!
Lately I was thinking about trying to post some cooking entries. I enjoy cooking from time to time so I thought that whenever I feel like sharing with you a recipe it would be a great idea to do it.
During the last month I have become a huge fan of smoothies. They are sooooo good. Besides they are quite healthy and easy to do.
I like to do them with bananas and strawberries.

BANANA AND NUTS SMOOTHIE

To prepare this smoothie you will need:

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 or 2 bananas
- 30g of peeled nuts
- 1 yogurt
-10g of chocolate (optional)
- ice (optional)

You will need a blender and that is everything

METHOD:
You just need to put everything in the blender and mix it until everything is even and there are not any lumps in the mix.





Once you have completed that you can take some straws and it's ready to drink. The thing about smoothies is that they are very equilibrated as you should put some nuts, yogurt and fruits. That's why they are the perfect breakfast. They will give you the energy you need for the day!



That is the final result. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be here very very soon!

3 DAYS IN BCN (VIDEO)

As some of you may know I was a few months ago in Barcelona, which is an amazing city in Spain.
While I was there I filmed some clips and after that I put them into a video and I thought that it was a good idea to share it with you.
I used the song Barcelona by George Ezra because it fits perfectly.
I filmed almost everything that I did or at least I filmed all the interesting places there haha. I am looking forward to go back as I completely fell in love with the beautiful Barcelona.
I hope you like the video.

Small Primark Haul

Hi! A few days ago I went to Primark. Last time I went was back when I was in Brighton last summer. Here in Madrid you can find some primarks too but all of them are quite out of the city centre and it is quite hard to get to them on public transport, and as I haven't got a car I couldn't go to any of them.
But a few days ago, some friends and I decided to go to the nearest we had (although it took us more than an hour to go). I didn't go crazy about it and I didn't buy a loot of things. I just purchased small things that I wanted to try haha.
Later I thought that maybe it was a good idea to share them with you!
Here is everything I bought (except for the panties and bras haha)



So this is mostly everything I bought. It includes some gentle facial cleansing wipes, some mini hands and face cleansing wipes to carry in my bag, a blender sponge, cotton disques to remove my make-up, a lip-balm, some metallic temporary tattoos, and some make up brush cleanser.

I am very excited about the tattoos and I will try them as soon as the heat arrives here in Madrid haha.

I know it is quite a different post but I hope you liked it and I will see you very very soon!

THE SCRIPT: No sound without silence tour. Madrid 2015.

Hi there!! So this thursday I went to my very first The script concert. And I can only say It was bloody amazing. The show included two supporting acts.
The first one was Colton Avery, a guy from Phoenix, Arizona whose dream has come true by joining The Script's worldwide tour. I hadn't heard anything from him until the concert but his voice and his lyrics are quite good. I am looking forward to hear from him again soon. I really liked his songs called Murder and Only one.


The second supporting act was Tinie Tempah. I am sure you have heard of him before. This time he was accompanied by Dj Charlesy. Their show was quite good too. I really liked it. But my favorite song would have to be Written in The stars, which is his most famous song.


Then at 9:30h the Script came out to the stage in a way that I hadn't seen before. They were surrounded with green fluorescent lights while they walked through the audience. It was incredible. Then the show began in the most Irish way it could go with Paint the town green. They were amazing. I was very close to the stage so I could enjoy so much the concert. I had a great night. There were some amazing performances. My personal favorite ones were The man who can't be moved, Man on a Wire, Breakeven, No good in goodbye and Paint the town green.

The man who can't be moved and Breakeven are their two classic songs and they are definitely among my favorites. Then I believe that Man on a Wire and No good in Goodbye are both so well written and the melody is so great that it made me love them so much. And finally Paint the town green was just great. The energy that this song gives me every time I listen to it is indescribable.
Moreover, at the end of the concert when they threw their plectrums to the audience one of them hit me in the nose and I got it haha. It is the perfect souvenir from the concert.



To sum up, The concert was great. I had one of the best nights ever surrounded by friends and good quality music. What more could I ask for?


And If you hadn't heard of the Script before you can check them on their spotify:

I hope you enjoy this post telling you about my experience at the concert and I will see you very soon!

CURRENT OBSESSIONS

Hi there!
I've been quite busy with exams so I haven't been around here lately, and I'am so sorry. But today I thought that I would share with you my current obsessions.

FOOD: Right now I am quite OBSESSED with white chocolate. It is the yummiest thing ever and I can not stop eating it (I know it is not very good for me but it is my guilty pleasure and I can't resist to it)

http://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/2013/01/allParenting/wine_chocolate/White-chocolate.jpg


DRINK: Lately I've been drinking more tea, and my ultimate favorite is the Yorkshire Tea. I bought it when I was in Brighton so I was being careful because I didn't want it to end... But now I have discovered a place where they sell it here in Madrid so now I drink it almost every day. It is black tea and they told me to drink it with milk and I can tell that it is awesome.

TV SHOW: I am enjoying quite much Eye Candy which talks about cyber-crimes during the investigation of a potential killer in Manhattan. I think it is something that we haven't seen anywhere and it is a very cool tv series.



MUSIC: Right now I am quite enjoying a lot of different music. James Bay and Ella Henderson. Moreover the soundtrack of 50 shades of grey is AWESOME, I have also been listening to Maroon 5, the Script and Ed Sheeran.



MAKE-UP PRODUCT: I am loving the eyeshadows by kiko... They are great. But I have plans for an entry coming later this month so I am not going to say a lot about them right now... I'll just say that if you haven't tried out KIKO yet, I do not know what are you waiting for...


APP: Right now I am obsessed with snapchat, instagram and the Kim Kardashian game that now also has Kendall and Kylie on it...

And I think that this would be everything!!
Thanks for reading and see you very soon...

TOP 3: Musical TV Shows

Hello there, how's everything going?
I hope everything is going fine. I'm sorry that i haven't been here lately but i have been very busy with homework exams and other university issues so i couldn't find time to write about something that I would actually like to upload.

So today, I wanted to share with you which TV shows I am currently enjoying the most. I love watching TV series and sitcoms but there are a couple of them that I am really enjoying lately. And I have decided that today I will share with you my 3 favourite musical TV shows.

Credits to Tumblr



A few weeks ago Nashville started again and I am so happy and excited to see it every week. I truly recommend it.
At the beggining this tv series focus on the rivalry of Rayna James (queen of country music) and Juliette Barnes (country teen idol), but as the series goes on, it  follows the lives of country music musicians.
I love this show and my favourite characters are Rayna's daughters. They sing like angels. Moreover the soundtrack of this series is amazing.



Then another tv show that I have been enjoying quite much is Glee. I am kind of sad because it is coming to and end but I have always liked it. I am not gonna lie, there are some episodes that are quite boring but these past two episodes have been great. I am loving the way the TV show is going right now.
The series is focussed on a highschool in Ohio where some excluded teenagers decided to take part of the glee club to compete on the show choir competition.
What I love the most about the show is how they deal with taboo topics, such as sexuality or social issues.



Finally lately I can not stop watching the voice, UK edition and US edition too. I love the format of the TV show. And I think it is great. Right now I am watching the 4th season of the Voice (UK) and the 6th season of the Voice (US). I can not stop watching episode after episode. From the UK one I love Will.I.am and he is my favourite coach while in the US one I love Adam Levine more than anything.



I love music and this kind of TV shows are one of my favourites. I hope you liked this kind of post. I know it is quite different but I hope you enjoyed it. If you did you can share it and maybe follow me on twitter and Instagram.

BARCELONA

Here are some of the pictures I took when I went to Barcelona a few weeks ago. I had never been before and I completely loved it! It is just perfect. I enjoyed every single moment I spent there. I only stayed for 3 days but it was more than enough.
So here are some pictures I took, enjoy it!





 






I hope you enjoyed it!
See you soon

INSPIRATION

This past week I was going through a lack of inspiration kind of moment. I had a couple of cool posts ideas but the inspiration to accomplish them didn't come so yes, I was not inspired.
It may sound quite ironic but the lack of inspiration is what have inspired me to write this today.
Inspiration is something that has to come to you. You can not force it. Although it is also true that you can do certain things to help your mind get some ideas or sthg. So what I am going to talk about today is what do I do to get some inspiration.

First I like to relax and play some peaceful music. Then I usually have a cup of tea, right now I am OBSESSED with Yorkshire tea. It is delicious... After that I just lay in bed and clear my mind...

On the other hand, if I am not very busy I would usually go for a walk or even going to an art exposition or gallery is quite a good idea. There are a couple of places in Madrid that inspire me quite a lot. They are the Madrid down town. From Tribunal metro station to Sol, and also the area around El Barrio de Salamanca. But if I really want to look for ideas and at the same time go see some art I would go to El Matadero which is an art expositions area... It is quite cool and alternative, in comparison with the rest of museums.

And finally another idea that works quite well for me is to bake something. I quite enjoy baking cakes and cupcakes. So when I am feeling stressed it is a great idea to bake something. And if you are in the creative mood, go and decorate it, use your imagination and that way you will forget about everything for a couple of hours and your will definitely clear your mind completely...

So that is mainly everything I like to do when I am not feeling very inspired and my thoughts are blocked (if that makes any sense). It is a different kind of post I hope you liked it and to end this I leave you a song by Florence + the machine. This band is just great and it is perfect for the situation I just described. I hope you liked it.

New Year Resolutions

2015 has just begun and I do not know why I believe that is going to be a year of change. Or at least I will try to change some things. A new year is a new blank page where you can write what you want and I am going to try to fulfill almost all my goals.



1. I am going to WORK OUT. January is ending and I have successfully accomplish that.I signed up in a gym a few weeks ago and I have been going a lot since then. I hope I can keep on working out and not give up.

2. I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas and another year resolution is to LEARN how to play it. I am in love with music and I think it was about time that I learn how to properly play an instrument.

3. Another resolution would be to be persistent and constant with my decisions and if I choose to do something I will stick to it and do not give up when something takes some effort and it is not easy.

4. I want to be HAPPIER. 2014 was not a very good one emotionally. Many good things happened but I was not entirely happy so for 2015 I have told myself that I have to be happier and more joyful.

5. I want to live the unexpected. I mean. I do now want to worry about tomorrow, I am just going to live today. Once my uncle told me that little children are happier than adults because they do not think about the past and they don't care about the future, they just live in the moment and that is what I am aiming this year.

I hope you enjoyed my new years resolutions and that maybe you share some with me. Hope 2015 is a good one!

Thanks for reading.

Happy New Year!

How is your 2015 going? If I am completely honest mine hasn't been good at all. 
Certain things have happened and I haven't been feeling very well.
These past 2 weeks have not been great. My mobile phone got stolen... And I lost the pictures and memories I had in there... So I was quite devastated for a couple of days. Also I am currently with the final exams in university, and although I do not like my subjects very much I really want to pass. And other things happened too. These events made me get into a bad mood and I didn't feel very good at all. This added to the fact that I didn't have a lot of time has been the main reason for not posting anything in the last few weeks. 
So today what I am going to talk about is: My go-to activities when I am feeling down.

When I am not feeling happy and joyful I tend to spend all the day in my bed doing absolutely nothing. But eventually I get out of bed and start doing things. 

One of the things that I like to do feeling like this is having a bath. In this occasion I used a bath bomb by Lush (it was a christmassy one).




I also like to have a tea/milkshake/coffee and watch something in my computer or read online while I lay in bed.


Finally what I like to do the most is watching some series online. I use an app for my laptop called cuevana. And listen to music too. Lately I've been listening on repeat Ella Henderson's album Chapter one.


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope I will be here very soon.
PS: I was about to upload this post and it has started to snow!!!!! This has completely made my day!!!!  I am so happy right now. So I just had to go pick my camera and go out to the garden to take some pictures.

Merry Christmas!

Hi there! Merry Christmas everyone!!

I hope you are loving your vacation time! I am currently in Barcelona being a tourist haha. And last week I was in my village so this post is a quite improvised one. I promise that when I am in Madrid I will upload new and better entries. But for now I will leave you with my favorite Christmas Carol which is All I want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey.

Thanks for reading
I'll see you very very soon!

If I had to pick a 2014…

  • ...FILM It would be Begin Again. I love musical movies and this one is Brilliant. Keira Knightley and Adam Levine play the main roles and the Soundtrack is AMAZING. My favorite songs are Coming up Roses and Lost Stars. I have also loved About Time, The Fault in our Stars and Divergent.

  • ...MUSIC ALBUM would definitely be X (Multiply) by Ed Sheeran. Every single song with its melody and its meaning are simply amazing. I really loved this album so much. The songs that I have enjoyed the most are Thinking out Loud, Afire Love, Photograph and Tenerife Sea. FOUR by One Direction is pretty good too.

  • ...SOLO MALE ARTIST would be Sam Smith. I am completely in love with his voice and his music. Spotify has told me that ‘Stay with me’ and ‘I’m not the only one’ are my favorite songs of this year. And he is the artist that I have been listening the most since summer. 
  • ...SOLO FEMALE ARTIST would be Birdy. She is just great, I can not believe she is just a few months older than me. Her voice is so peaceful and angelical… I love her music so much.
  • ...BAND is One Direction without any doubt. I had the chance to attend to both of the concerts that they played in Madrid. But I have also loved The Vamps and 5SOS.

  • ...BOOK would be The Fault in our Stars. I know that it wasn't published in 2014 but I read it this year and I completely loved it. The way that John Green writes is great and just bloody amazing. And the story is so beautiful and at the same time so sad.
  • ...PLACE would definitely be Brighton. I had a great time there this summer and it is a wonderful city. Its culture and lifestyle is just amazing. I cannot wait to go back there. (I did a blog post about it a few months ago so you can go and check it out)
  • ...MAKE UP 
    • EYE PRODUCT would be the Naked Basics Palette by Urban Decay. It was a gift for my birthday and I have used it almost every single day.
    • FACE PRODUCT would be the Studio Fix Foundation by MAC, I can not describe how much I love this foundation. It fits my skin type perfectly. But I also have been loving the All Day pro long wear blush by MAC.
    • LIP PRODUCT would be 2 lipstick by MAC and they are called Viva Glam I and Diva
Current makeup  favorites haha
(As you can see my favorite make up brand is MAC hahaha)

I hope you  did like this kind of post and I will see you very soon.
Thanks for reading!!
