 Hey, guys~ Happy new year to everyone! Hope you had a great one! Here's a new post for you all, a list of some of my favorite items from last year. Obviously, these aren't all of them because a lot happened in 2016 and I got some awesome items throughout the year that just won't fit in a blog post. So, let's get started!

First off on the list is a fashion item and that's this planet chocker from h&m! To establish my space hoe persona, of course! haha! But seriously, I fell soooo hard for chockers last year and I'll continue to be for 2017 as well. I have so many now but this planet one was the first so yay!

Last year was the one where I discovered how important skincare was and one of the first items I bought that wasn't like a cleanser or moustirizer was this YesTo Cucumbers Soothing EyeGel. I've been having hardcore skin issues and dryness around my eyes and putting this one before going to sleep definitely improved it! It was on sale when I got it AND it's paraben-free and cruelty free. You guys should check it out!

The best thing to happen last year though, is when Lush openened up a store here in Puerto Rico and one of the very first things I bought was this conditioner. Lush's Veganese Conditioner is a lemon scented lightweight conditioner. I liked it better when I first got it and had shorter hair but it's definitely not for longer hair folks because that does not work then. But it's good for thin or short hair! And the scent is super amazing! This opened my eyes to Lush and all the wonders which is perfect.

I haven't told you guys yet but I've been trying really hard to be cruelty-free when it comes to makeup and skincare but... sadly, Mac is my weakness. I refuse to buy anything new but I can't force myself from throwing away all my Mac lipsticks! I just can't! I'm sorry! Out of my favorites though is this blue-toned red lipstick in super gorgeous packaging, it's the Charlotte Olympia Special Edition Lipstick in Starlett Scarlet. It's a really matte shade and little bit drying but I don't care too much about that considering how freaking gorgeous the packaging is! Sadly, the collection is all gone so there's no chance for you guys to get it unless you did when it was on stock! 

 I've used a lot of palettes this last year, including the Naked3 palette that I got for my birthday but this most recent one that is pictured above probably beats that out of the water. I love the Naked3, I do, but it's a bit too powder-y sometimes and can leave you with a lot of fallout. This baby though... is amazing. All of these four shades have a bit of glow to them so there's no matte shades but I don't mind too much using another outside shade for the crease. The Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Eyeshadow Palette is perfect if you want easily blended and beautiful shadows. I bought this last summer in Ulta when I was visiting my friend in Indiana. It was my first time in Ulta and I picked this up because it was affordable and a natural, cruelty-free option plus it looked beautiful as heck! Also the little message on the top when it open the palette is the cutest thing and I smile every time I see it.

A quick little one is my iphone cover that I also bought in the summer when I went to the states, it's the SkinnyDip London iPhone Cover in Glitter Unicorns. I saw it and it just scremed at me to buy it, it's very me, I think. Very on brand with this blog too haha!
The last thing on my faves list is music. If you follow me on twitter or tumblr, you know that I'm pretty darn obsessed with kpop but sadly, I don't own any kpop albums to show you guys (maybe this year!! who knows!!). Between my favorite albums are: Troye Sivan's Blue Neighbourhood, Halsey's Badlands, Melanie Martinez's Crybaby, Little Mix's Weird People & Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion Side B. The last one I down own on physical copy either but it's waaaay too good to not mention because I literally live for that album and her Emotion one. You should go listen to it right now if you haven't because it is truly iconic.

And that's it for my 2016's favorites! Leave me a comment, letting me know what some of your favorites from this year~ Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' for new posts and I'll be seeing you babes real soon!💖

Hey guys! 

Ely Maple Watch ($129) 

That's it, babes!  

Wooden Watch For Men

Hey, babes! This past weekend, I went to the mall with the sole intention to buy stuff from the Victoria's Secret/Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale. I was more excited to go into VS because B&BW always have sales and I have too many stuff from there anyway lol.

Onto the actual post then~ First off Victoria's Secret!

• My most exciting find is the PINK Ultimate Extreme Crop Leggings in Grey, which I got on sale for $29! I am super excited to wear them out, they're super comfortable and flatering. These are my first PINK/VS leggings and I am so here for them! I'm planning to wear them to the airport when I go traveling in July. 
• Keeping with the theme of PINK, the next item is the PINK Coconut Mango Body Mist which I got for $5! I couldn't find it on their official website, so the link is from Amazon and apparently people really do love this because there's only 2 left and it's sold for $20. So, I would recommend to try and find it in store if you can! The comment in Amazon says it's discontinued but I had no problem finding it in store. Anyway, I haven't worn this yet but I'm super excited to because it's smells amazing, subtle and not all overpowering. It's perfect for the summer, definitely! 
• The last thing from VS pictured above,  is the Victoria's Secret Aqua Kiss Splash Fragrance Mist which I got on sale for $4.50! It says that it's a new formula that you can blend and mix up for a custom scent. The fragrance notes are Rain-Kissed Freesia and Daisy. I definitely think that this blends nicelyinto the skin and they last a surprisingly long time for a mist. It smells super fresh and clean, it's a definite favorite. 
• The actual last thing that I got which isn't in the picture because I wasn't sure you guys would be interested in, is this Demi Bra which I got for $20. It was super hard to find one my size in the store, but a miracle happened and I found this one! AH! It's my first ever Victoria's Secret bra and I feel like my eyes have been opened to the wonders of how comfortable VS bras actually are. I've been told before that VS don't carry a lot of bigger sizes and that the employs shame you for it, but my experience was an entirely different one! If you are a bigger sized bra wearer and you're wary of going into your local Victoria's Secret store, just try it. You've got nothing to lose! 

Wow, went one a bit of a rant there! Anyway, here's what I got from Bath & Body Works:

•  First up is the Waikiki Beach Coconut White Sand Body Scrub which is on sale for $8.29! They say that the White Sand gently exfoliates while nourishing Coconut Oil & Vitamin E conditions your skin leaving it smooth. The top notes of the fragrance are Beach Coconut, Oahu Dragonfruit, Saltwater Breeze and Coral Berry. I absolutely love this! I think it's perfect to put on your legs right after a shave, leaving them delightfully smooth! The only other B&BW scrub I had was a Christmas scented one so this was the perfect opportunity to purchase a summer one!
• The last item is the Caribbean Escape Candle which I got for $10. This is another item I couldn't locate on the website, but found on Amazon. I think this is an old fragrance that they brought back for a limited time with new packaging which would explain why mine looks diferent. Like I said for the PINK body mist, try to find this in local store if you have one close by because I didn't have a problem locating it there. Anyway, the scent is described as a blend of tropical melon and tart raspberry nectar mellowed by creamy coconut milk. It smells so amazingly divine, it has the right amount of strenght as well like you could smell it in a big room but it doesn't give you a headache if you light it in a smaller one. It's just perfect. I would highly recommend it if you like fresh, fruity, summer-y smells.

Well, that's it for my haul post! Hope you enjoyed! I am currently sick, my nose is all stuffed up and I'm suffering so make my day by leaving a comment or checking out my Youtube Channel and telling what you think~ And while you're at it do subscribe and leave a like! It would mean a lot! Tell me what you've bought in this Semi-Annual sale down in the comments, let's have a chat! I'll see you babes later, bye!

Hey, guys! What's up? I'm here for a new blogpost! Sadly, this wasn't the post I was planning on posting today but I hit a block on it so here's this post instead! lol! I hope you enjoy it anyway~

March is just beginning and do you know what that means? Spring! Ah! I love springtime! I love the colors and the flowers, just everything! So here I put together three outfits and overall looks for springtime! These work for everyone but I specifically focused on my own kind; college students! Because of that, I made sure that all of the items were affordable for us! These looks are perfect for going to class or the weekend! I hope you guys like them and tell me what's your favorite look or which one you would wear?

The new year is almost upon us, a few days of 2015 left for us to feel nostalgic over this year and all the things that have changed and how quickly it all came and went. I knew I needed to write a post a the new year because that's just what you do when you're a blogger but I didn't want to get too personal or write resolutions that I know I won't accomplish so I've decided that this post will be all about the beauty & fashion things I want to do next year and some other self-reminders for the new year. Another day I'll do blogging resolutions, but for now, let's get started!
