Dreaming

(April 16, 1971 – March 31, 1995)

I wanted to make a quick post about an artist I really enjoy. Despite her not physically being here, her music still lives on in my heart as well as the hearts of others. She was beautiful inside and out and I wanted to dedicate this to her in remembrance of an amazing mexican american woman. 16 years gone but never forgotten. 

Rest In Peace Selena Quintanilla- Perez ♥

Be there! The Fair!

(This was my favorite photo of the day)

So this weekend, aside from me becoming an official gym member of LA Fitness, I went to the Miami-Dade Youth Fair. I haven't been there in years but since I'll be leaving in I don't know how many months, I figured I'd go one last time for some good ol' memories, and that's indeed what I did. Stepping foot in there made my childhood come back. That's definitely one thing I'll miss about Miami. The rides surrounding me, the corndogs, the super sized plush prizes at the games, the shish kabobs (kebab, whatev), the cheap little shops (which sadly, I purchased nothing from), I love it all !! I was so excited that I've posted the photos damn near everywhere haha, so if you follow me on tumblr or you're a friend of mine on facebook, you've already seen the madness. . . if not, enjoy the photos after the jump.

Strawberry Fields

Today was a very good sunday. My mom and I went to this quaint little place called Ruson. It's a Japanese restuarant, very similar to Samurai & Benihana. The good was good, the prices were no different (we were told it was cheaper lol). After brunch, my mother got a pedicure and then we did a little shopping. I only bought two dresses, but I'm very satisfied because they were very inexpensive. Before we ended the day, we stopped by a field that lets you pick your own strawberries (amongst other fruits & veggies). So yes, my mom and I picked our own strawberries. Very cheap, 2 pounds only rang up to about 2 bucks and some change. I had a really nice day. My outfit was fairly casual, just wanted to have fun with two colors (orange and blue) but keep it really casual.  Unfortunately, since I wasn't aware that any of this would take place, I didn't have my camera with me. Just my crappy digital and my blackberry lol. So enjoy the photos from my phone and my point & shoot ^_^

CHOPPED: I DID IT !!!

So after lots of friendly peer pressure, words of encouragement, and advice from my lovely friends I finally cut the rest of my relaxed ends off. Yes, you read correctly. . as of yesterday March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) I did the BC - big chop. As I was saying on one of my tumblr's I'm not confident with it, not yet at least, so I don't plan on wearing it out until it grows a little more or I can't deal with wearing weave. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I'm very proud of me taking this step, I'm just not used to having my hair so short and with this texture. Anywho, I'm excited. . . I feel like my journey officially began now that I can say I'm 100% natural. If you have any advice, tips, product recommendations let me know, I'm open to any and everything.

Don't I look happy hahaha, biggest smile in the world. Hope everyone is having a good day/ evening. Til we meet again ^_^
