Hey, guys! Long time no see! It's been such a long time since I've talked to you guys~ and so much has happened since then. I just wanted to update you guys and maybe come back? ah, i don't know!

So, first thing. The last time I updated you all, was on my birthday and I'd just started my internship in Merodea. Now almost four months later, here I am! So I'm just going to go over all the things that's happened:

Hey, babes! This post is late considering my my birthday was on the 11th, lol so it's been a few weeks. But I wanted to make this post regardless because I wanted to tell you guys all about it!

Let's get started with what I got first! I really didn't expect much but to my surprise I got quite a few treats! From my family, I got the Too Faced Sweet Peach Lipgloss in Pure Peach, the Tarteist Pro Amazonian Clay Palette & some cute chockers! From one of my best friends I got this Bath & Body Works Love&Sunshine Gift Kit.

The best parts of the day wasn't the gifts though, it was the whole day! My birthday landed on a Saturday so I could celebrate it on the actual day which is a gift by itself. I started the day with my mom, we went window shopping for a little bit and ate some nice KFC lol. At 5, I went to see La La Land with some friends and then met up with the rest of my babes for a nice dinner in Old San Juan. We ate some amazing mexican food and then went to a bar and I drank... quite a bit. lol.
Just the usual tequila cucumber shot (or like half of it lol), cranberry vodka and pink pussy (which is a real cocktail mixed with loads of stuff and it was super super good). After that, I really wanted some dessert because there wasn't any I could eat over a the mexican restaurant so we finished the night with some frozen yogurt.
I had the most amazing day! It was by far the best birthday I've ever had, I can't even explain. It's been a few weeks since that day and I still think about it and how happy I was! lol! I'm a cheesy goofball but I have the most amazing friends like wow. They definitely made my first day as a 20 year old exciting!!

Now for the life update thing! I've been quite busy these past few weeks, which is why this post is as late as it is. I've been drowning in my classes and I started an internship as a content writer in Merodea (which you should check out btw) and I've just started back on my writing... like fiction writing, I'm working on it! haha!

So, that's my life lately! How about you guys? Are you interested in maybe seeing a review or a makeup look on the Tarteist Pro palette or the Too Faced lipgloss? Let me know in the comments below. Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' so you never miss a post and I'll be seeing you babes soon.

Hey guys! Sadly, these past few days have been horrible for me -- that's right, it's that time of the month. I'm not sure if you guys have can relate to this but on my period I get acne, so much horrible pain that I can't walk, stomach ache, nausea, irritated mood swings and getting emotional out of nowhere. Some months are worse than others so let's just say this time has been... not good.

So for today's post I decided to give you guys some tips for how I get over my period pains in the hopes that it might help you out! Let's get started then~

001. Heat Pads/Blankets - I'm sure you've heard of this before but heat does wonders when it comes to cramps. Putting them on your source of pain while laying down is aaaaamazing! Make sure to have an AC on or else you'll die from a heatstroke lol.

002. TENS Unit Massager - If you've been on the internet, you might have heard of Livia. It's a mini shock machine that you put under the stomach area where you feel the cramps. It's currently an indiegogo project but many other people have said that it's similar to a TENS Unit Machine which also uses shock therapy. It's more affordable so if you don't want the cute style of Livia, that could work as well! Also this is a legit way to relieve pain, I've had this for physical therapy and it definitely works.

003. Pain Killers - For my first day on my period this time, I took two aleve liquid gel pills and I was excelent for the whole day. Literally no pain at all so that was amazing! So, if you have no problem with taking pills, Aleve and Advil work wonders!

004. Face Masks - My skin gets all sorts of dehydrated and acne-proned when the time of the month comes around so to make myself feel better, I use all sorts of face maks. If you don't have any, simply using a cleanser and mosturizer can do wonders. Part of surviving your period is also feeling better about yourself! So buy some inexpensive sheet masks!

005. Bananas - You might not know this but if you have horrible cramps, eating a banana or two can actually work! I found this out a few months ago when I was going through pinterest, trying to find remedies that work fast. I didn't believe it at first, but much to my surprise it actually works!

006. Water - Drinking lots and lots of water is important. I know this. Do I actually do it? Ehhh. Somtetimes. But it's important! So... it's on this list!

007. Hot Drinks - It's common knowledge (I think?) that you should stay away from coffee when you're on your period but having a hot drink with you to help you relax can help! Tea or Hot Coco can help I'm sure! There's even specific teas you can drink to help you on your cramps!

008. Relax - Give yourself a break if you can, at least in that first day when it's worse! Watch your favorite happy tv show or movie. I enjoy sitting back and watching either youtube, Ouran High School Host Club or Kiki's Delivery Service. Anything that can make me feel happier! You can also sit back and read a new story or reread your favorite one.

009. Sleep - Taking a nap with your heated pad or blanket can make anything better. Seriously. Give yourself a break and take a nap! You'll feel better when you get up!

That's all for now though, babes! If you're on your period then I hope you get better and if you're not... why are you reading this? lol! Kidding! Let me know what are some things you do to get rid of cramps down in the comments! And don't forget to follow me on bloglovin so you never miss a post and I'll be seeing you very soon!~

 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!💖

I have lost my mojo.

And I've lost it for a while now.

I've lost it for my blog. I've lost it for my youtube. I've lost it for my writing. I've lost it for, what I feel like is, everything in my life except university.

I am just always tired. And I've been tired for years now. I wish I could change and I'm trying to, but I don't know how.

I know that depression is a part of it, possibly a big one, but my depression doesn't look like how it did two years ago or even  a year ago. So, I don't know how to go about it.

I have plans... I want to do things, but I am just... so tired that I can't.

I don't like my blog anymore. I don't enjoy it. There's so much preassure to post weekly, to tweet regularly, to promote, to post on facebook regularly and so much more. You need a good topic, perfect picture quality, viewers, comments, you need everything. And I've had this blog for a year now... and I don't have the views or the followers that I expected to have at this point. And now that it's because I'm not doing things right. More than that, though... because I made this blog a beauty and fashion one, you need money and you need to buy things. And anyone tells you that you don't have to is lying, because you need to buy the popular new things, especially in makeup, to stay revelant and popular and gain an audience. Because of this, I've become dependent on buying things. I get on slump if I don't buy anything for a certain period of time and I get happy when I do, even I don't need it... and I have so much makeup that I don't need and probably wouldn't buy if I didn't have this blog. I've used this as excuse to buy things and that's a big problem.

Youtube has become the same thing... I'm using it to buy new things. So I can have new video ideas. And I'm so tired of it.

Speaking of youtube... I've loved youtube and have watched youtubers for a long time now. I've been waiting to make one myself for a while too. At first, I enjoyed it. But the more and more videos I did, the worst I felt about it. And it's because... they don't look like I want them to look. I get so frustrated with myself, for having bad lighting, for not being a good enough editor, not having good enough ideas and so much more. And while I'm filming my videos, I just think to myself: "Who would ever watch this?"

 I don't think I'll be quitting youtube because I can get better, I do believe that, but my blog.... I don't know what to do with that. With this. I don't know what you guys want to read, I don't really know what I want to write. And the reality is, you need to these things regularly, but I just... won't. University is tiring and I spent the rest of the days I have free, sleeping or homework. I don't think I can juggle all of this and youtube with this blog. I still think I'll use it. Just... not regularly. Which is, what I've been doing. There's still some posts I have to make soon that have been waiting in my drafts for literally a month now, maybe even more. They will see the light of day, I know that, but I won't promise anything.

I hope you guys understand what I'm saying because I don't know if I'm explaining this right.

Another thing... is my ideas. I have lost my passion for a while now. I used to be so motivated and so ready for my future to arrive so I could do all the things that I wanted to! To write all of my stories! To have the knowledge that I needed! And now that I have it, I don't ever feel like it and I don't have the inspiration or know what to write about, it's the most frustrating feeling ever.

I don't know how to fix it and I wish I could. Everyone in my university are doing all these things and they're pursuing their dreams, with the same resources that I have, but they're actually doing it! And when I asked them how they did it, they're just like "oh, I just wrote it" or "oh, I filmed it". And it sounds so easy, but it would be so exhausting for me. I want to write, I want to create a webseries, I want to do a podcast, I want to do so many things but... I don't? I'm too tired.

I hope you guys are understanding me right now, because I feel like this post is all over the place.

If you guys want to read or watch anything specific from me or my emotional health journey, let me know. Also, if you have advice for me, or ideas or explanation or literally anything leave them in the comments below. I'll see you later, babes! Thanks for joining me in this pity party of mine~

It's all about friendship, unrequited love, creativity, being free and not afraid to be who you are. It's a really nice light but truthful novel about the struggles of being gay and young. What I love even more about this book is that it's a happy gay story. There's no lesbian deaths, no homphobic slurs, none of that. It's such a feel-good read no matter your sexuality. I also love that it's about a boy and girl but they're bestfriends and they're both gay, so you get a bit of everything. To say that I loved this book is such an understatement.

It's so well written as well! I fell in love with so many beautiful quotes that I wanted to write in my walls and wear them on my skin proudly. That's how beautiful some of these words were.

If you're gay, read this book. If you're trans, read this book. If you're bi, read this book. If you're straight, read this book. If you're queer, read this book. It doesn't matter, read this book. I wish I could forget all about it so I could experience it all over again.

This one definitely gets the perfect rating. This made me want to go out and read more LGBT+ stories! There's nothing like reading a story you can finally identify with.

What do you think? Have I made you want to pick it up? Is there any other book you recommend? Leave it in the comments below~ Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' so you never miss a post and check out my videos over at my youtube channel! I'll see you soon, babes~

 Hey guys! What's up? Happy late 4th of July for anyone in the US a.k.a free-beach-day for anyone living in Puerto Rico. lol! Anyway, it's July!! That's insane, guys! Where the fuck did the year go?

 I really want to start the tradition to make these monthly goals posts, hopefully that will help me actually achieve these goals. lol!

 July is actually a huge month for me! I'm going to the US for the first time with my best friends! I'm a bit nervous but I'm also super excited. I've bought all the stuff I'm going to bring and I'm gonna buy some more in the actual trip! Shopping is like my number one therapy session. It gets rid of all of my sorrows! I'm planning to do a haul for what I bought to go AND then, when I get back, I'll do a haul of what I bought there! Yay!

I have two main goals this month. The first one is to focus on my youtube channel and make it everything I want it to be! I want to get better at it, both once the camera starts rolling and afterwards! I've gotten so good at editing and making the thumbnails, I realized that that's what I truly enjoy doing! So, I'm glad I'm studying film then! lol!

Speaking of enjoying creating stuff, my second goal in July is to become a better designer! In case you didn't know, I decided to start selling my services as a blog/youtube header, logo, youtube endcard designer. You can click this link to read the details and see a few examples of my past work! I've already received messages from people who are interested so I'm very excited for what this may lead to!

I have been trying to look for a part-time job for when the semester starts, but I haven't had a lot of luck finding one so hopefully this design thing could work in case I can't find one!

In other news, I just came back from the dentist and my period came in so all in all, I'm not feeling very well! lol! Regardless, I hope you enjoyed this post? If you haven't do follow me on bloglovin' so you never miss a post and check out my latest video, I have a feeling you might enjoy it! *winks* haha! I'll see you soon, babes~

Welcome to my new blog look! How do you guys like it? Tell me in the comments! As you guys know, I have a youtube channel now, and I've been really trying to make it as amazing as I possibly can. This past week I couldn't film because I've been sick and my voice sounded pretty awful so instead I've been watching other youtubers (like I don't do that anyway lol) for ideas to things I should add to the channel. Because my focus is lifestyle, beauty & fashion, you're going to see channels that focus on that! Let's get started then~

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, babes! Long time, no see, I know~ I'm horrible at blogging in a schedule tbh. And I don't even have the excuse of being busy because my first year of university has been over for a few weeks now. I've just been lazing around in my bed, on my laptop, eating and sleeping. No motivation to blog because I wake up super late because I fall asleep super late (early? whatever) so there's no sunlight for taking photos. So, that's where I'm at. Any advice? Do you feel the same?

Anyway, what else?

I'm super excited for July because I'm going to Indiana and Chicago with my friends! It'll be my first ever getting on a plane so I'm nervous but excited! How many times have I said excited in this post? lol! I'll probably say it some more so forgive me.

I'm hardcore looking for a job for the summer. It's frustrating as fuck, dude.

omg also!! I have a youtube channel~ It's called Merzy's Corner (of course! what else did you guys expect? i have zero creativity for titles). My first video ever is a May Favorites video so please go watch it, subscribe, comment and all the other stuff! Next week's video is going to be a Q&A, to get to know me better and stuff, so do leave your questions down below or tweet them to me.

I've also been thinking of doing a 'goals' post for june or july because I've been seeing a lot of them from other bloggers. I'm hoping this would work to get me more motivated on my blogging, for my youtube channel and just for my life in general. Get me more focused. Something I've been struggling with a lot this year. Motivation. Any advice?

This post is turning into me asking you guys for advice lol! Shouldn't this be the other way around? I mean, I'm supposed to be a lifestyle blogger. Shouldn't I have all the answers and the advice? Is that not how lifstyle blogging works? I think it is at least. Am I wrong? lol!

Anyway, this is it! I hope you enjoyed reading! Sorry, this was a bit of a bland post but well! Tell me in the comments below what's been going on in your lives~ Let's have a girl chat! lol! Don't forget to subscribe and what my new vid, babes!!

Let me just start by saying that I'm not an expert. I'm no therapist or doctor and I will never pretend to me. Most of the time, I don't have the answers to anything in my life much less for yours. I know that by being a blogger and writing about giving advice means that I am somehow more knowledgable than you are, this is not true. I don't know what I'm doing 88% of the time. What I am going to talk you about is stuff that has worked for me, being a sufferer of anxiety and depression these are tips that I use and that more often than not they've worked.

If you have more tips that have worked for you, don't be afraid to share them in the comments below. It's important that if you have not had anxiety or depression, please don't give advice because it comes off as condescending maybe? Am I the only one bothered by this? I just want this comment section to be a safe one.

So, on to the tips:

• Coloring Books - I know it's the newest craze and everyone has been all over them, but the thing is? they really work. I got my first one a few days and just recently did a page when I was feeling especially anxious and it really helped me. I was surprised by how relaxed and accomplished I felt. Even inexpensive ones help tbh, so don't feel the need to buy a $20 one unless you really want to~
• Journaling - Another thing everyone's been doing. I don't have the motivation, and maybe you don't either, to do this everyday or every night but just write down your thoughts when you're feeling overwhelmed by them. Twitter and Tumblr are always sites I go to vent about my emotions, but there's something about putting my intagible thoughts into physical writings that is rather soothing. 
• Aromatherapy - I have weird thing with scents. It's the one thing that I always count on to sooth me. I can't exactly explain it, it just happens. What I did in uni, because I can't carry around candles and lighting them, is find places that I find have a particular calming smell. This is gonna sound weird but the bus and the train are two of my places, these are only sometimes though, when there aren't a lot of people. Same thing with the library. I'm looking into trying some calming oils. What's also really helped me is body washes, specifically this one from bath & body works. Speaking of, they have this whole line especially for relaxing and aromatherapy which is really fucking cool and I want to try more things for their line. 
• Music - Such a cliché answer, I know. But music has the power to take you away when things are looking shitty at a moment's notice. I especially love Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION album, trust me, just listen to it. I also enjoy just listening to spotify or 8tracks playlists.
• Makeup + Fashion - If there's one thing that always makes me feel better is doing my makeup and dressing up in a cute, nice way. It's true when they say that how you present yourself influences your emotional and mental state. I like taking care of myself in that way, even if you don't have the energy to do so, painting your nails may seem like dauting task but when you're done, you'll feel a lot better... at least, I do. Experimenting with makeup is also always fun. I used to be one of those people that didn't see the point of makeup because it'd be the same thing, but really I just didn't feel worthy enough to use it. But, I'm gonna tell you something... you are worthy. Makeup is genderless and you deserve to play around with it and feel beautiful. 
• Guided Relaxation - If you're like me and search up 'ways to deal with anxiety' on google then you that the first thing that people talk about is breathing. You also know that you suck at it and no matter what all it does is make you feel even more worthless and anxious. I have a solution for you: Guided Relaxation. Apps like Calm and What's Up? do exactly that, they help you calm down through guided breathing and meditation. Let me tell you something, it actually works. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself and come back to me. 
• Talking - If there's one thing that always works for me is talking to someone. Sometimes it can be okay after talking to a friend or two but other times it's not enough. Thankfully, there's people who get paid to do exactly that and give you feedback. Therapists, Psychologists & Psychiatrists are a great resource if you can afford them but if you go to school or university there's councelears and personnel that can help you too. If all else fails, there's a wonderful community in Tumblr for mental illnesses and there's more than a few apps designed exactly for this like TalkSpace.

 And here's a few small things you can do too:

• Have some coffee or water.
• Walk around, surrounded by nature.
• Pet some dogs. 
• Cuddle your pet.
• Read a book.
• Watch your favorite mindless tv show or movie. (Mine is Man From UNCLE and Ouran High School Host Club)
• Read some cutesy fanfiction featuring your OTP
• Watch some Dan & Phil (Or your other favorite youtubers)
• Have a shower with some music on.
• Take a nap. 
• Eat pizza.

There's one last thing I want to show you guys is some websites or series that you might like! The first is #SpeakUp, it's a hashtag on twitter and an on-going series where bloggers guestpost articles talking about different mental health topics in Thrifty Vintage Fashion's blog. I'm not part of it but I love the idea and I'm sure one of you would find it useful. The second is Femsplain which is a website where all kinds of women from all background, races, genders and more talk about different topics in a detailed, honest and talented way. They give a voice to the voiceless which is a very nice message and one they stick to.

I know these are mostly things that you've already seen through your search for ways to cope, trust me so have I and I'm still looking for more. Hopefully we'll both find the answers we're looking for. Maybe I'll do a part 2 someday when I've tried other things? Who knows? Let me know if this helped you at all and your suggestions on things that have helped you before. I'll see you soon then, babes~

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?

Sorry this was such a short post! I promise the next one will be bigger~ I made these edits on polyvore which I just made so give me a follow there if you want, my username is merzysofia! I'll see you babes super soon!

 Just in case you don't follow me on twitter, snapchat or are friends with me in real life, you probably didn't know that my birthday was last week. I turned 19!!! Yay!! lol! Of course, I had to show you guys what I got and what I did! Duh~ (Btw, not all of the gifts will be in the photos!)
First off, my mom got me some early birthday presents in the form of a gorgeous pink Guess wallet with rose gold details, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (which is just heart-eyes worthy!), this GORGEOUS Mac lipstick in the shade 'A Sprinkle of Magic' (isn't that the most perfect name?!) and Rey from Star Wars: TFA funkopop figure, plus the Batgirl Dorbz figure! I was absolutely in love with all of these right away!

On the actual birthday day (a.k.a. february 11th for future reference), I woke up to some beautiful gifts from my family! Inside this gift bag was the most coveted Naked3 Palette by Urban Decay, the Wonder Woman Movie/Blueray/Comic combo (which is one of my fave movies ever!) & some gold earrings!

It's pretty obvious that I was super excited about my makeup gifts because I used them right away for class that same day! Speaking of, one of my best friends gifted me this pretty Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossoms kit! Overall, I had a pretty good birthday day!


The next day was the real celebration, though! I headed to a semi-classy/gourmet pizza place with some of my very best friends! The gifts I got from these lovely people were the notebook with my favorite quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world", the women swimsuit sports illustrated calendar (wich i love and laughed my ass off when i received it!) and another Rey funkpop figure (which i felt super guilty of! omg! I'M SORRY GABRIELA!).

After the pizza place, the party started! lol! We went to a bunch of different bars across town and I fell in love with an $8 passion fruit mojito. We got drunk tipsy and listened to Carly Rae Jepsen at full blast! lol! (btw the legal age for alcohol here is 18, chill)

rare pic of me without glasses!

So, what else? Oh yeah, I got a cute bracelet from one of my best uni friends which I love! And I got my sephora birthday present which is a Mini Marc Jacobs Lipstick + Eyeliner (I'm very impressed with the lipstick omg!)

I'm pretty sure that's it! lol! Sorry this post was a bit rambly but I hope you enjoyed nonetheless! Don't forget to follow on bloglovin and twitter and stuff~ See you soon, babes!
