  Bye 2023  I can sit here and pour my heart out and tell you all the bad things that happened this year, but I won't.  I will leave you with this... 2023 has been one of the most challenging and difficult years I had in a while.  There was not one month that went by that something didn't happen.  There were a lot of endings and new beginnings. Some of those beginnings haven't even started yet and to be completely honest I am looking forward to them. Some people left my life, some are holding grudges, some I let back in and made more trouble, some just decided to step aside on their own and some showed me how much they care for me.   I guess that's  what life is all about, right? I learned I am stronger than I ever thought I was.  What felt like being on survival mode for 365 days made me even stronger that I could ever imagine. I know the start of a new year doesn't erase all that happened and the problems will still be there tomorrow.  But one thing I can confiden

Thrifting Tips

Image
Why I stopped buying trendy pieces.. If you have been here a while you probably already know that I have been thrifting my clothes for the past 2 years.  It has helped me find my own style and my own voice when it comes to the pieces I wear.  I am not saying I will never wear what is trendy, but I will def be looking for those trends second hand. Here are a few tips I use before heading to the thrift stores... Make a thrift wish list.    For the longest time I had on my list an oversized quilted jacket/coat and I just recently found one that was in prefect condition. I was so happy!! Also found a pair of Levi's ribcage flares I can't wait to wear them. Having a list helps you when choosing what to bring home. Have an open mind. Not every piece you find will be the exact match, but having an opened mind and a good tailor always helps.    Do not worry about sizing. If you don't already know, a vintage 8 it is not a modern 8 per say.  I buy whatever fits and looks good regardl

Spring Forward

Image
  Waiting for Spring... With Spring right around the corner I am starting to spring clean my house, my mind and everything! Here are three things I did so far.. I lightened my hair I been wanting to go blonde for a while and I finally did last month.  I went in for some front highlights, but my hair dresser convinced me to do a full head of them.  I am happy I did! I cleaned my closet This is something I do on a regular basis, but right before the change of season I edit my closet and pretty much donate anything that I have not worn in at least a year and items that don't bring me joy anymore. Change/Add new skin products I like to call myself a collector not a hoarder when it comes to skin care.  As much as I like to keep them all, I also do a clean sweep of products that really didn't work for me.  My most used item is my moisturizer and that is the first thing I change from a thicker one to a lotion for the warmer days. Is there anything you do before the change of season?

Purple and Pink

When the 80's come back.... I have to be honest 80's fashion is not my favorite, but I couldn't resist this vintage jumpsuit.  I went all 80's pairing it with pink boots to keep the colors going.  What is your favorite fashion era? xo, Yaudy Cristina *Vintage jumpsuit and bag*  

Three things to help with the Winter blues

Image
 I think we can all agree that Winter can be draining and depressing sometimes.  I personally dread this of time of the year and as soon as the Holidays are over I want warm weather and the sun. I started doing these three things for about 3 years now and they do make me feel better. I started to journal... I write down thoughts and things I want to accomplish.  Every night I write down events that took place during the day as well as activities I want to do in the future. I even plan my outfits ahead of time. Spa day at home... Every Wednesday night I do a face mask and hair mask.  I also keep up with my pedicures and shave my legs, YES, shave my legs during Winter LOL Those little things are so good for your self steam. Self care is a must for me. Make meals,,, I love cooking, so this one is a no brainer for me.  I love trying out new dishes and come up with recipes of my own.  Something I have been doing for a while now. Let me know in the comments what is something you do to make y
