Photoshoot 🌼

Image
Hola! Aquí les traigo todos los detalles del photoshoot que realicé junto a Lidmary Sánchez hace unas semanas. La sesión de fotos fue en el Pueblo de Ponce, en la Plaza las Delicias. Utilicé mi cámara Canon Eos Rebel T6 + lente 50 mm . Para editar estas fotos utilicé la aplicación VSCO , que me encanta y es gratuita. Escogí el filtro A4 " The Aesthetic Series " porque tiene tonos más naturales y cálidos. Lo ajusté a +10.0 y básicamente el resto de lo que hice para editar, fue jugar con la exposición (luz) y la saturación. Para el maquillaje de Lidmary, usé la paleta de Wet n' wild My Glamour Squad 756A . Como color de transición usé el color #1, y en todo el párpado usé los colores #2 y #3 para intensificar más el asunto.  El lipstick que utilicé fue el 90s Baby! de Rimmel London . Además, usé un poco de corrector, polvo suelto, bronzer y un lápiz de cejas. Apliqué poca cantidad de cada producto, ya que sólo quería darle color y definir más el rostro. ...

10 study tips that will save your life

Image
Hey lovelies! I started college recently so I figured I'll show you guys some help and tips on how to study better and get straight A's like a boss.😎 Let's get started!  1. Review the material right after class so it's still fresh in your memory. 2. Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test. Review class materials several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time. 3. Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lightning and no distractions (try avoiding your bed, it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap). 4. Start out by studying the most important information. 5. Learn the general concepts first. Don't worry about learning the details until you have learned the main ideas. 6. Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study materials. 7. Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better ...

Self-love tips and daily reminders❤️

    Hey loves!🌼 Here are some of my self-love tips to remind you every day how amazing you are. 💫 Look for inspiration every day. You can read books, listen to good music, etc. Do what makes you feel amazing because you really are. 💫 Be grateful. Always. Be thankful every day because you have a family, friends and you are loved. 💫 Stop comparing yourself with others. Just don't do it. Focus on you and let them know you're happy for them. 💫 Be patient with yourself. Good things take time. 💫 Treat yourself. You deserve it. Go for a walk, get something you like, watch a movie, take a nap, etc. You're working hard and you need a break. Get some rest. 💫 Enjoy the little things. These are the best ones. 💫 Have courage and be kind. Always. 💫 Don't forget to smile and make someone smile too. 💫 Be positive.  Even when you feel everything is going down. Remember, at the end of the day everything is going to be okay. 💫 A...

Fall must haves🍁

Image
  Hey guys and welcome autumn!🍂 It's been a while, (I know) but I'm back! Today I'll show my must haves for fall to stay in that cozy/lazy mood we all love. 🍁Pumpkin spice and everything nice. A candle. This is a definitely must have for fall. Pumpkins, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. All sweet! I got this one from Bath & Body Works for $10 and it smells delicious.🕯️ 🍁Sweater weather and plaid shirts . I love sweaters even in summer nights and plaid shirts are my favorites! They are so basic and they look good with everything. These are from Old Navy (plaid) $13 and Forever 21 (sweater) $14 . 🍁Make up. Warm tones are the prettiest for autumn! In my opinion, the Modern Renaissance palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills has the perfect shades for fall. They are so pretty, pigmented and I'm in love. ($42) But if you want something more affordable, I recommend the Milani or Maybelline eye shadows. They have a lot of pretty good colors. Also,...

How I plan & organize🌟

Image
Heyyy! Today I will show you how I plan, what products I use to do it and how I organize my life. Let's begin! First, I'm using the Creative Year gold & ivory stripes from Michaels. ($19.99) When I bought it, it came with some inserts and dividers. It came with "to do" list inserts, lined paper and graph paper. It also came with three dividers with a motivational quote in every one of them. So once I had my binder, I started to create my own personalized inserts and dividers. I created the calendar inserts on Word and I made the dividers with scrapbook paper, washi tape and some quotes from Pinterest that I love. If you want me to show you how I made all of them please comment down below.👇🏼 Besides that, I always carry a mini notebook with me, which I use to write down frequent ideas, or just stuff that pops into my head. Also, I made two tables/lists. One list has "want" written on it. This one is for wants and not needs. Sort ...
