How To Stop Being Sad

You can probably go on Google, Pinterest, and Tumblr and look up tons of posts on how to make yourself feel better when you're down and to be honest, most of them aren't realistic. 

I get sad a lot... and I'm always finding new things to feel happy again.

When I'm sad, I don't want to go work out, eat healthy food, or sit around with my legs crossed surrounded by candles.

I'm going to tell you guys what I do to stop being sad (plus some corny tumblr gifs), and I hope they can help someone else out there.

1. Say F*ck It!

If you got your feelings hurt by a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or even a stranger, you just have to say f*ck it. F*ck you. F*ck her. F*ck him. F*ck them. F*ck it all. The best thing to do is remove the source of your sadness. If a person or thing is what's making you sad, let it go!

2. Treat Yo Self.

If scrambled eggs and bacon are your fave, then you make yourself a big ass plate of bacon and eggs and eat like you've never eaten before. If you like sitting in bed drowned in pillows and covers listening to sad songs then you do it. As long as you're going to be happy doing something, DO IT. Even if  putting some make up and taking bomb ass selfies is your pick-me-up (p.s. it's mine) you should do so if it makes you feel better. 

3. Change Your Mind Set.

Remember that you are a golden child and that no one can put you down. 

Everyone gets sad, and everyone gets over it, and hopefully you can too.

4. Remain Stress Free. 

Personally, having a lot of things to do stresses me out. I like to have a bunch of post-it notes, event planners and calendars full of things I need to do. So when I'm sad, organizing my life is one of the main things I do to feel better. Organizing anything in general makes me feel so in control of my life and it's a breath of fresh air to keep myself in check. Whatever eliminates your stress, do it, and make sure you have fun while doing so!

In the end, these are the things that I do to make myself feel better. You can alter my methods to your liking if you need to. But I feel that these are key things to make yourself feel better whether you had a bad day at school/work or if someone made you feel bad about yourself, etc..

I hope you all get more ideas and benefit from this post.

Thanks for reading!

New Year, New Me!!

SIKEEE !!!! LOL

No but seriously, Happy New Year, everyone. May all your goals and resolutions last longer than a couple months!! I sure do hope my goals and resolutions last until the end of the year. 

I prefer to set goals than to set resolutions because a goal sounds more realistic and a resolution seems too serious and scary to me because a goal is saying that you wish to aim to do something and a resolution is a firm decision to do something or stop doing something.

But that's just me!

Anyway, I have a couple goals that I hope to accomplish this year:

• Get my GPA to a 3.0 or above. I'm currently at a 2.8 :(
•  Continue to follow a diet & work out plan. Even if not to lose weight, I just want to be healthier.
• Work on my photography skills.
• Get in touch with myself to feel better about myself/ improve self-esteem.
• Gain more confidence in myself and in my work.

Once again, I like the practicality of setting realistic goals. I feel that I wouldn't dread trying to stick to the ones I set for myself.

In the end, I hope this year turns out to be great for everyone.

♡ Happy 2015 ♡

NYC Tarte Cosmetics Meet Up with EssieButton & Amelia Liana

Today (Nov 6 2014), Tarte Cosmetics hosted a meet and greet with the amazing Essie and Amelia. 

When I found out they were coming to New York to have a meet up, I knew I was going to have to drop everything I was doing to go see them even if I had someone to go with or not and it was the best decision I ever made.

As Essie said in one of her recent Vlogs, sometimes you just have to go places on your own and experience things on your own. You'll never know unless you try.

This was my first time going to a Youtube beauty guru meet up. I've actually never been to any beauty related events because I've been scared to go alone and I never knew what to expect. Everyone at Tarte was really lovely and super nice. They made us feel comfortable and made conversation with us while we waited on line. Other girls who were also waiting on line to meet the girls were also lovely.

I met a girl named Emily who was really sweet and we were both alone so we kept each other company the whole time.

Essie and Amelia were total sweethearts. They spoke to everyone like if they've known us for years! They had a smile on their face the whole time and they were super friendly.

It was super weird yet surreal to see someone who lives around the world from you and who you've seen on your computer screen for years, in person. 

I tried to hide my excitement!!

When I first went up to them Amelia said, "Oh my gosh I was dying to meet you. I kept looking at you when you were in the lobby because I just love your lipstick. What is it?"

I told them it was Diva by MAC and they both laughed because they both own it but it looked different on me. Essie said I was rocking it and that my lipstick matched my scarf too.

I couldn't stop smiling, they were so nice.

I asked them if they were liking New York and if it was their first time here, and they said they were loving it and that they've came before but it was their first time coming alone so they were really enjoying it.

Then, we just took selfies and I hugged them good-bye and I was out on my way.

I was kind of disappointed because I thought there were going to be Tarte products but they just gave out a free travel neck pillow. I'm not sure but I think I heard that at Bunny's (Grav3YardGirl) meet up, Tarte had a booth or a table with their products at a discounted price for the girls who showed up, so I went ready with my wallet full to buy some of their makeup but they didn't have anything of the sort.

It was still a very amazing experience. I'm glad I actually went. I think I might be interested in future meet and greets and even IMATS and stuff like that now. 

I'd also like to thank Tarte for hosting, everything was really cute and thanks for letting myself and everyone else meet Essie and Amelia.

Bye! Thank you for reading ♡

Photo Diary: The Lower East Side - LES

This Friday, I spent the day at my grandparents' apartment in the Lower East Side and something struck all the creative bones and nerves in my body. My uncle, who also lives in the apartment, is a photographer. I guess being in his presence inspired me, haha. 

Anyway, I'm artsy in many areas and sometimes photography isn't my strongest area. I always feel inspired, but when I grab my camera and shoot, the result isn't what I had in mind, and I get discouraged. 

This day, though, was very different. There was a huge thunder storm and the sky was a lovely color, the city lights were shining through the fog, which ignited my desire to shoot.

Thanks for reading! If you'd like to see more, all these photos, and more are posted on my Flickr page which will be linked below.

"My Life in 20 Questions" Tag

Hello!

Since I haven't quite shared a lot of information about myself here, I decided to do one of those tag questionaires. The TMI-tag is getting pretty played out on YouTube and on blogs so I searched for a new one. Hope you enjoy!

1. What's your favorite color?
My favorite color is definitely green, forever and always, BUT purple, maroon, and black are my faves as well.

2. What's your favorite number?
I always say 7 because that's the "lucky number" and my birthday is in July.

3. What is your dream career?
This is a hard question because now a days you can go to college and get a degree in something and not do anything with it or get stuck with a job you hate, but if I could have any job in the world, I'd want to own a record store or just a become a famous photographer

4. Where do you see yourself living when you're on your own?
I still picture myself living in New York, probably Brooklyn or Queens, owning a nice two story home, decorated really nicely.

5. Where is your favorite place to travel?
I've only been to Florida, Pennsylvania, and the Dominican Republic and they're all really lovely but I really want to go to the UK, Australia, and California.

6. What do you do in your free time?
I like to daydream, listen to music, scroll on YouTube, BlogLovin, Tumblr and Instagram for HOURS! I always like to zone out into the tiny world going on inside my head whenever I can.

7. Favorite clothing stores? 
This is a hard question omg. I guess I'll go with Marshall's, Old Navy, and Forever21.

8. Dream car?
Well, I currently want a Toyota Corolla S but if I someday have an awesome career I wouldn't mind having some kind of really expensive car , who wouldn't lol.

9. What TV shows can't you live without?
I haven't really sat down to watch tv in a while but some all time faves are That 70s Show, What Not to Wear, and Boy Meets World.

10. 3 things (or people) you need in your life are...
Music, Books, and my family

11. I can't sleep without...?
Ughhhh so many people bug me about this but I've had a Cookie Monster teddy bear that I've been sleeping with since I was like 12 and I can't bring myself to put it away or try to sleep without it.

12. If you were given 1 million dollars all for yourself what would you do with it?
I have a lot of problems that money can solve in my family, so I'd definitely help myself and my family first. Then I'd invest some. And then, I'd give back to those who need it, either to locals, in the Dominican Republic, or to any natural disaster or country in need at the time.

13. I have a celebrity crush on...?
Not to sound cliché but definitely Leonardo DiCaprio. I've loved that man since I saw the Titanic on VHS (aka a long time ago).

14. What is your favorite treat to eat?
CHOCOLATE. No doubt about it

15. My favorite wild animal is...
Koalas

16. What is your favorite season?
Spring and Fall because they are the less extreme versions of Summer and Winter.

17. My favorite childhood shows were...
Arthur, Between the Lions, The Comfy Couch, Hey Arnold!, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh

18. Why did you start a blog? 
I'm always on YouTube and some of my favorite youtubers have blogs also so looking at their blogs made me want to start blogging. Mainly Sammi (BeautyCrush)'s blog was what really made me sign up to have a blog. I hope to have a blog as cool as hers one day lol

19. What do you hold close to your heart? 
Memories

20. What is one music artist that you are in love with?
Two words: TONY. PERRY. Omg I love that man so much. My close friends think I'm obsessed with him and it's probably true.
If you don't know him btw, he plays guitar in a band called Pierce The Veil and he is just a beautiful face with a beautiful soul, ugh, he is amazing.


But that concludes the "My Life in 20 Questions" tag.
I hope you learned something new about me through this lol and I tag everyone who wants to do it!
