Straight to the point.

Happy New Year!
I wish nothing but the best for everyone.
I will be at home in my PJs eating and spending time with my family, very glam ;)
Like always, a new year, a new start...lets make it a great one.

xo

rain.

It it almost 2011, can you believe it?! I finally got a chance, and energy, to update my life after a very stressful 2 weeks. It has been raining all day, everyday, for like a week in my hometown! I am mostly stuck at home watching movies in my pjs and eating chocolates and candy lol. Besides that, my break has consisted if pure relaxation with a couple of shopping/going out with friends. We had our yearly christmas/secret santa dinner last night and it was a blast! I will have pictures later :]

Anyway, I have been very much obsessed with finding winter boots and jackets lately. I find myself going into every store I love and looking for those two things and walking about with everything BUT that...fail. I'm too picky. Amongst those random things are nail polish! I am a nail polish junky and I am always on the lookout for inexpensive brands that live up to its claims. I have just stumbled on an amazing find: Forever21 polish! I always walk by them when I shop there and I finally decided to try them out and I love love love them. I have been wearing a pink one for the past three days and not one of my nails have chipped! Not to mention you only need 2 coats and they cost less than $3! I'm in love.

Another obsession is Charlotte Russe and WetSeal...they always have awesome deals on cute dressy tops, especially online. I don't like investing on "going out" tops too much because I don't like to re-wear them too often (bc of pictures and stuff lol). I don't get rid of them! but I go a while until I wear the same shirt again..am I weird?

This is just a random ramble post about..nothing. I hope you guys have an amazing Christmas and New Years just in case I don't get around to writing again.
xoxx

Beautifully Plain.

Happy December! We have finally stumbled on the best, and most stressful, month of the year! I say best because it literally brings out the best in everyone, there is so much love and happiness everywhere. Stress on: our wallets, figure and mind. Yup, it is finals week once again. So remind me again why I have a MIDTERM tomorrow?!!!! Not to mention I had a BIS lab practical today, I'm drained.

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I took 6 days off yeee. I spent those days watching movies (I LOVE Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, who's with me?!) and eating every type of comfort food you can think of. It was love, pure love. I did ,however, pay for all that love because of how unprepared I was for my exams :(

Okay I really need to get back to studying for my exam tomorrow so I will leave you lovlies with something that made my day today. Behold of the brown box that made me feel tinggly inside haahahahah:



I scored more deals online shopping than Black Friday Shopping!





My first shoe splurge, I am not a shoe person. I am happy wearing sandals and flats all year long. But chic simplicity like this can't be passed. New party shoes yay! I brought a couple of other things, but this was what I received first :)

I will probably be deprived of everything these next two weeks due to finals, but as soon as I get a break I will be back!
xoxo

PS. Sorry for my disorganized writing today, it's the 3 hours I got of sleep last night talking :0

Sunday night.

I've always wondered, what do people do Sunday nights? Do you just chill out or go out? I find my Sunday nights consist of catching up on stuff I didn't get done Friday and Saturday hehe. Anyway, enough about randomness, I had a very hectic week and celebrated its end by having a great weekend: I went out to see Due Date (MUST SEEEEE it's sooo funny!!!) with a couple of friends. Later that night we went out to a birthday party which was super fun. Saturday consisted of good food and good company, very chill and lovely :)

As for shopping, I've been very good this month! Friday night I went to target and ended up getting only 4 things:
THE Revlon mint color polish that I've been wanting for a while (similar to one of the Essie polishes ;)
A vanilla candle! Finally!
A super cute silver necklace, which I for see being part of my every day jewlery which currently consists of a gold bracelet with purple stones and a little crab ring.
Oh any finally nail polish remover! I've stopped doing my nails because I didn't want to run out...but I'm back to my doing my nails 3x a week hehe.
This morning I was shopping around for some "going out" jeans, I usually look for dark washed skinny jeans. I settled for some AE jeans...purely because they are having a free shipping promotion and I'm a sucker for free shipping! I was looking around for a nice quality jacket/coat and some TOMS shoes but I could not make up my mind. Those two things have been on my shopping list for a while.

Next week is Thanksgiving break and I am more than excited! It has become a tradition in my family that I HAVE to cook the turkey and mashed potatoes every year (not too bad for a rookie huh? lol). I look forward to that feeling of family company and amazing food! I might get back in the game and return to Black Friday since I swore I would never go again after a bad experience 3 years ago. I'm rethinking that decision...maybe I will find a good deal?

Oh I almost forgot, here is a picture from my friends wedding last weekend. I had an absolutely marvelous time! Great music, great food, and so much happiness. It was just how I pictured it.




Good night lovelies, I'll be back soon enough!
xoxo

Life as you know it.

Alright guys, this is getting a little out of control. Why oh why is it that I sit here on a Thursday night listening to No Doubt's "Underneath it all" while eating hot puffs and IMing while I have 5 days worth of lecture notes that need some attention? I'm tired, that's why. My life this week consisted of nothing but psychological studies involving cognitive development. Lame, I know. On the bright side, I am going home this weekend for a childhood friend's wedding! I have known her since middle school so it's pretty legit.

Anyway I had a very long blog post planned this time around but it seems to be that I cannot focus enough to gather up enough sentences to complete a paragraph so I think I will continue later.
I hope everyones weekend is spectacular! I plan to upload pics from the wedding! Let's see how long that takes me hehe

Tschüss xoxo

October Love.

Okay, so after 2 longgggg months of stuff going on, I FINALLY had a weekend to just relax and do...well...nothing hehe. Lets start with late September: I moved back to school after a fun filled summer. I did almost everything that I had planned, minus a thing or two. My last two weeks were very stressful though, my loving mama was sick and I felt helpless, but I was very very glad that I was able to be there for her through the worst! Everything is looking up with her, Thank God. I came back to school and right away was thrown into 3rd year madness. Every weekend before this one was filled with back to school parties, events, reunions, exams, late nights, and fun hehe. I loved every second of it but I was finally glad to have a chill weekend to watch movies and catch up on sleep.

The best weekend by far was the weekend of my birthday. About 6 of my very close friends from back home visited and we had 3 amazing days of food, laughter, and dancing. I appreciate them so much for that.

Halloween is fast approaching and I'm planning on leaving all the fun parties behind and spending time with my family back home. I know, boring boring...that's what my friends tell me hehe but I want to go home. I feel like the older I get, the more I look for excuses to go home. I'm excited though, I did the whole Halloween thing last year, I got it out of my system and this year I'm looking forward to going trick or treating with the small ones and staying home to watch scary movies while I 1. eat home cooked food 2. study for exams (How lame huh, grr).

ANYWAY, I have been keeping up with fall fashion stuff but I have not had anytime to go shopping, or money lol. I have picked up a couple of dressy tops in fall colors along with flats hehe. Honestly though, I'm not the biggest season follower, I wear what I want and like. I do go by color schemes sometimes but I don't make it my mission. The things I look forward to getting this weekend when I go home are:
-Cozy sweaters! It finally started looking like fall where I live so I'm in need.
-Cute Sneakers
-The Naked Palette, grr I still can't find it :/
-Scarfs
-Gloves
-Cardigans

Here's a couple of looks I've been loving/imitating for school or night time:




-Whitney's natural look is sooo beautiful, it looks flawless and effort less..my two favs!

Hope my return isn't too far in the future, I enjoy spilling my thoughts via keyboards :)

Flashback..

...to the days of yesteryear, where the worries were small and days were longer.


Winter: the season for family and friends. Oh and food.


Fall: the season for make believe. 70s&80s.


End of summer: country in the middle of nowhere.


Spring: drinks and florals.


Summer: my culture, my roots.


2009: my year for bicycles.


Fall: the time of letting go, dorm room included.


Spring: cake and friends by the pool.


Winter: Capital, 2am, formal wear, Hilton, memories.


End of winter: the beginning of changes...

-I take pictures of everything, I have a bad memory.

xoxo

Change #1

Variation in makeup! My routine usually consists of concealer, light powder, mascara, illuminating eyeshadow, chap stick and natural lipstick. I want to do more with my face hehe. Suggestions?

Daytime:

bronze tones and intense eyelashes, loveee





Nighttime:





-Target and MAC, here I come :)
xxo

Final madness.

Late nights, early morning, Redbull, coffee, sleepiness, and stress has started to consume my life...well more than usual. I sit here after a couple of hours of studying Chemistry and after one of the last dinners I'll have with my roommates. We went to this very famous sea food place, that is over priced in my opinion, and waited a little less than an hour to get our food. It was a little annoying but worth the bonding time hehe. I have my final at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon and I still do not feel prepared. This is my break because this is going to be a longggggg night.

5 more days until summer break!!

Now off topic, I REALLY want to go check out the new MAC "To the Beach" collection! I know I will not get to a Macys until after finals ugh :/ Another thing to look forward to after this dreadful week!

xoxo

gorgg..

I am back in school (for 9 more days and then summer break!!) and I am forcing myself to start studying :/ This weekend was very productive in the social department, but academics were greatly ignored oops. Anyway, I really want to go watch the new Ashton Kutcher movie! I have loved him since 8th grade...look at him:



he's stunning!

And let's not forget my other love, Jake:



Fashion/make up stuff will back in a couple of weeks, I never have time in the midst of exams! boo.

xox

Weekend

After a VERY long friday, I had my last midterm of the qrt. (stats), drove many hours back home and got very little sleep, I am beat. I finally met with my friends that I have missed oh so much. Most of them are out of school enjoying summer break while I am in the midst of beginning to study for finals. I have Chem this coming Saturday, Stats on Monday and finally Bio on Thursday! I am contemplating beginning my study guides but I don't think I have the energy. I woke up very early to get some chores done before I met with my very dear friend and grabbed some Sbux before we headed to a surprise birthday party. Tomorrow I will spend some much needed quality time with my parents and do some last minute shopping before I head back to school and hopefully end my day with a surprise baby shower for a friend of mine :) I was looking forward to watching Sex and the City 2 this weekend but there never seems to be enough time!

I am excited for summer to begin already. I have many exciting plans that will hopefully turn out well, including a much needed trip to the beautiful beaches of SoCal where I will hopefully even out my terrible tan hehe. School has drained me this year so this summer will be used to re-energize! Can't wait.....

xoxo

Change.

...what I've been trying to do for the last two weeks. Change some of my habits, my mentality, drive, routines, and most of all relationships. I find that change can sometimes be for the better or for the worst, regardless it's a chance that many are willing to take, including myself. Sometimes those changes will not only affect yourself but those around you, that's what makes the whole situation more difficult to deal with. I find that it is very difficult to try to keep a balance between what is there and what you want to change. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I always seem to go back to the same conclusion. Maybe it's time that I make the situation about me, is the being selfish? I hope not. I'm an optimist and I always try to see the best out of every situation, I think that's what makes life easier :) If one thing is certain is that your true friends always come out on top, that is something that I hold on to everyday!

xoxo

Love love love

On top of a really rough week, I sit here trying to soak in the amazingnesss of last night. I probably will not be doing much this weekend :) I will start my relaxing weekend by sharing some of my favorite products!

1. New Victoria's secret body mist line. I do not have the bottle with me right now and I could not find a pic but the line is amazing. It has a more "perfumey" smell. I especially love the pink one!

2. Gap's So Pink

Every time I wear this, I get compliments. It's the ultimate summer scent bc its flowery, citrusy, spicy. I've worn this since 8th grade!

3. Degree deodorant: Nature Effects line. I cannot tellyou how amazing this smells, and it lasts ALL day!

4. Revlon Nail polish in Red Hot Tamale (bright red) and Tropical Temptation (coral pink). The color pay off is amazing with these polishes, with one coat you're good.

5 .Coach Wristlet

Aside from being too adorable, they are perfect for when you are on the go and don't want to carry a huge purse!

6. Softlips in Vanilla

Simply love love love.

More to come......

Random.

I have an unhealthy relationship with sleep. I love it, it loves me, yet we cannot compromise. This week was somewhat awkward...i felt like i needed to start studying for my exams but I found myself falling asleep in the library every single time I sat down to study. I think about going home a lot, I'm TOO anxious for summer! I just got back from meeting up with a friend that I haven't seen in a while and once again I cannot sleep hehe. This coming week will be bitter sweet, I will finally be done with BIO and CHEM midterms but that means I'm a week closer to finals. I'm hoping to have one last fun friday night before then ;) I just noticed I'm rammmbbbllliiing and this blog is going no where. That's okay, it's 2 am. lol
So I've been thinking of getting a tattoo, a spanish saying on my right side:



This is too much but I fell in love with it when I say Hayden Panettiere's:



I still have not gotten the courage but I would love to get it done :) We'll see....
xoxo

Insomnia

It so happens to be close to 2 am and no sign of sleep :(
After spending 2 hours watching the finale of ANTM and doing some online shopping, I decided to start doing actual school work. I need to learn to manage my time better since I do have TWO midterms next week! ugh....and then finals. Anyway, the grande coffee I drank earlier decided to finally kick in and now I am rambling through fav. makeup/fashion looks I want to try while I get sleepy....


-I would LOVE to pull of her hair!


-make up = <3


-I want my hair this color, just a bit darker :)

xoxo

Vinn..tage!

This weekend was amazing, it was relaxing! I came home to surprise my dear mama for mothers day and finally got to meet up with my closest friends and family. Anyway, I go back to school in a couple of hours, I cannot sleep! I was randomly looking at online shopping stores and I noticed how much I love vintage-y looking things! I love that look of classic beauty with a twist of glam. I came across this picture:

I love big hair, warm colors and girly textures. I try to inspire my wardrobe around things like this, but with my schedule, I always seem to find myself going back to casual wear. I think this summer will serve as a renovation for my wardrobe and style in general.

A small insight.

Hi!

My name is Yesica and this is my first blog ever! I was inspired to make one after all the wonderful youtube gurus I watch. I thought it would be fun to meet new people who share the same passions and interests :) To start off, I am a second year college student currently living in Northern California. I am originally a valley girl, I grew up in a super small town in central/southern Cali that I miss everyday! My life consists of school, fun, friends, and more school. I am a Psychology major with an emphasis in Biology. My dream is to one day become a research psychologist. While I'm not in school being nerdy, I love getting glammmeeedd up with my girls and going out. Shopping is one of my favorite past times but I try to not do it too often because rent is expensive! hehe I've been living on my own since I graduated high school and I love it! I miss my friends and family like no other and I look forward to seeing them every time I come home. I love meeting new people, I'm a people's person :) I'm excited!

xoxo
