i met someone and it feels...

Beautiful. Exhausting. Overwhelming.Insane. Heartbreaking.Wonderful. Confusing.Amazing. 
Frankly, I can't tell which. Depends on the day, really. To be honest with you, it had been a long while (about 76 years, to be precise) since I allowed myself to let someone in, to go beyond sarcasm and ban…

hardships

You know, I don't think I can really eloquently express myself lately. Or for the past year and a half. I feel like every time I write here in this blog of mine, I'm always either saying things have been tough, or that things have been tough. Thing is, anyone who knows me knows I'm mos…

driving down south

A trip down south was just what the doctor ordered (no, literally, it was just what the doctor ordered haha). Seriously, a week spent in a place where the sun always shines, where the waves rarely swallow you whole, sand so soft it feels like clouds, staying in such a nice condominium with sweet p…

last day of august

I know it's the biggest cliché in the world but allow me: how is it the end of August already!? And why is the world so unfair to give us what feels like an endless horrid Winter and then make Summer fly past us at supersonic speed? #thingsthatannoyme
On the other hand, I'm sort of, maybe, a…

things one should always remember

Just some thoughts on this Tuesday... Hope you have a blessed day, wherever you are!

Some of the images that are inspiring me right now... Can they all magically transport themselves to my closet? Kthnxbye. 
Heads up, to whoever visits my little spot on the web: I will leave for some days to a land where Internet access is nothing but a fantasy. Pray for…

iphone summer snaps

When you're not feeling particularly chatty, some pictures are worth a thousand words... I mean, not that my Friday outfit or a (ridiculously gorgeous) tree are that relevant, but still. Just roll with it. Happy weekend, everyone!

the simple way

Maybe it was after getting sick last year that I've wanted to "uncomplicate" my life a bit. Heels, dresses, even pussy bow blouses and skirts took a backseat to flats, jeans (!!!) and flannels. If you knew me before this year, you'd know jeans were a forbidden staple in my closet.…

what other people's comments will do to you

(Oysho Playsuit, Parfois Wedges) 
I think I've never really understood how someone's comments could feel so debilitating and make you feel self conscious until I got to high school and someone made a comment to me saying, "Jesus! Cover those arms! You're so pale, how do you stand t…

life through my iphone

Last Monday's shopping trip to pick up some holiday essentials, like a new bikini, towel, body butter and moisturizer, some new shoes (been so long!), and some bits of makeup. You know, just a usual selfie in your car... no big deal! #vain


Because iced coffee infused with chocolate is the only…

checking in

Dear, oh, dear. Been so long since I've checked up on things around my little web house here. I could get into the extensive details, but honestly, my life lately would be akin to a full length novel. Let's just say that the World Cup is over, my feet are finally touching the ground again,…

be right back!

Hello, my good people! How's everyone doing? Just a quick little post here to let y'all know I have not forgotten about this blog - at all! - but I'm up to my neck in college assignments and the stress has run me down so bad I'm basically comatose as we speak. This post is brought …

mother's day

Mommy, you are a superhero. The kind of superhero who wears an apron, skinny jeans, blouses and jewelry, who cooks me meals and cleans up after me. The kind of superhero who has always tended to my scraped knees, who has cried silently at night because of my diseases ever since I was a baby (yes, momma, I know about it), who is always proud of me, no matter how much I shine or screw up. I really want to thank you for all that you do for me daily, putting yourself last for me and my sisters, for always bringing me my medication when I’m too lazy to pick it up, even after working 8-6. The one who puts up with my stupidity and random, annoying, hypothetical questions about life. You really are a superhero, mommy, and I appreciate you endlessly. We may bicker back and forth every day, but we do so because we are cut from the same cloth, you and I. Similar as twins in everything. I wish I could give you the world, momma, and I will do that someday. You just wait. I love you!

my life... plus crohn’s disease

I was 18 when I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. It was only a year ago, but feels like it was only yesterday. Times flies when you're having fun. HA! It’s really not the drama some people envision it to be. Honestly, I think some people pity me more than I’d ever consider pitying mys…

easter sunday hike

Happy Easter, you guys! Did you little devils OD from all the chocolate, almonds, lunch, desserts? You cheeky sods, you! I must admit, though, Easter is not my favorite holiday. If I had to draw up a scale of my favorite holidays, Easter would be really, really down there with Christmas. I'm j…

a reminder for you, a reminder for me

(Vintage Shirt, Pull&Bear Jeans, Parfois Wedges, Blanco Belt)
I wasn’t even going to talk about this today, but as I was editing these photos, I found myself thinking about just how vicious us women actually are. You know, as women, we should all be like a chummy group of people who mutually sup…
