Feeling glorious...

While I was jamming to Macklemore's song Glorious in our car, all my son could sing was 'Baby...baby...ooohhh'. Jajajaja (laughs in spanish)
I guess he really likes that Bieber song. Mind me, we don't listen to a lot of Bieber music. I have no clue where he got it from. 
Few things from this experience that made me feel some type of way. 
-My son made me realize that these moments are what life is about. A phrase that is constantly said by many, "enjoy the little things". Or "stop and smell the roses". But not followed often. After having a meltdown the other day over what my life "should be like". This small moment made me truly happy. 
A few days ago, I was feeling overwhelmed with school work. I had this feeling of, what's the point?!?! Why am I going through all this, if I don't even know what major I will be getting into. Once I transfer into the University, I have no idea what I will be majoring in. It's a decision I can't wrap my head around. I have to decide what I want to do the rest of my life. & then what? What if I hate it? Not being pessimistic but what if?...
If any of you have any words for me, go for it & give them to me! I need as much advice as I can get.

Anyways back to the moment with my son & his beautiful singing. I realized that, I need to count my blessings & enjoy the ride. 
Like a very good friend told me. "Nothing in life is easy." I'm just going to have to pick myself up, dust myself off and jump right back on the horse. Or however that saying goes...

Then the songs verse jumped to 
"I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious"

& it was as if the universe sent me a sign. A sign that everything will be okay! Also, I just really like this song. Macklemore always gets me with his music. Between thrift shop & glorious. I am a fan!

Since I will be stopping to smell the roses more often. Here are a few more things that make me smile. 
-The clean smell of bed sheets. I love it when I wash our bed sheets & blanket. I sleep much more comfortable and happy. 
-Driving home and enjoying the view. There's a farm nearby and on my drive home we can see horses. They make me smile every time I see them.
-When my sweet son sings in the car (obviously) He just started to sing along to the music a few months ago. It's not kid music either. 
-& many many more 



What makes you smile? What makes your day?  Let me know, I'd love to hear other people's thoughts. & Thank you so much for reading mine! 
Xoxo,
Carla 

 Note:I tried taking a picture of the horses but couldn't get a good shot. I will keep trying though. Plus side was, one of the horses allowed me to touch him!!!

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself.  As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it.  Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself.  Never completely content with my appearance.  Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body.  You name it!  In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends.  Which often times they hear from others.  Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain.  It took me years to loose the weight.  Even then, my body is not perfect.  Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...

Play! By Sephora September box...

This is a really late post/review for my Play! By Sephora box. I apologize but I have been swamped. School & life have been getting in the way. Adulting... amirite?(insert side eye) My first box arrived September 16. The second box arrived October 17. (I will be uploading the October box in a separate post) September box review: I was excited to open it, even though it's not an actual mystery box. (I also saw many posts spoiling the box contents) My favorite product is the perfume sample (of course, since I'm currently obsessed with perfume samples) check my searching for the perfect scent post here . The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumnizing Fiber Gel is also something fun for me to try. Since my eyebrows are light & thin. This is definitely a product I could be interested on in the future. All in all, I was content with the box. Although I'm starting to think that I may only keep the subscription for 2 more months. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shal...

Florals for spring, groundbreaking!

Spring break means spring has arrived. (& that my son got a week off from school) <help!> T o celebrate and to get some much needed adult time, I went out for dinner with friends.  I also wanted to secretly take my new purse "out to town".  I mean, what better way to complete an outfit, than with a "spring-y" bag.   I paired this beautiful  top with jeans and nude ankle strap low block heels. (Also, I previously wore this top for my son's 5th birthday party ). The top can be worn off the shoulders or as a loser relaxed shoulder style. (As previously worn) It features bell sleeves and is a perfect transitional top. These shoes are slowly becoming one of my fave pair. I'm a big fan of the ankle strap heel look, and the fact that these have a low block heel make me very happy!  I also love that the heel features a cork look. Yellow is such a fun color for spring.  It will brighten up your look and day.  My top is a ...
