Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful time today!

Last Sunday I went to a “Christmas dinner” with my friends; we couldn’t be bothered to cook so we ordered some pizza (yes, I know, very christmasy of us). Here’s a little picture of a tree and a bike that my friend has on her roof covered with fairy lights.

 Also I got this present on Sunday. If you’re wondering what it is I’ll give you some hints: its white, sweet and it says Hershey! My best friend knows me very well.

 This year I helped my mom to make the dinner for Christmas Eve. I had a blast doing it, not because I was cooking but because I was dancing (like a lunatic may I say) to some of my favorites Christmas playlists on 8tracks. I absolutely loved “Christmas dubstep” by SickestNoel, you can listen to it here.

 When it came to getting ready I wasn’t very pleased. I wanted to make a red dress but I was feeling lazy so instead I wore something I already had, a little cream dress from Mango and a blue cardigan because baby, it WAS cold outside. I also wanted to curl my hair but I was having a bad hair day and I ended making a fishtail braid. On the other hand, I think my make up looked really good, simple but pretty.

Hello gorgeous people! How are you guys? I'm super happy because I finally get some vacations and can relax and do some things that don't involve studying. 

So on Monday I woke up at 9 am and started my essay for history around 10 am; after hours of reading, writing, procrastinating and 68 pages, I finished at 2:30 am (yes, I spend the whole day doing it). On Tuesday, I had the secret Santa thingy with some of my friends from university. On Wednesday, I only had to give the teacher the essay and I was free for the day. On Thursday, I had to hand in my finals for bi-dimensional design and anatomy drawing and I was out around 10:15 am. On Friday I went to get my driving license (woohoo, I can drive!). And today, I had a Christmas lunch at my grandma’s house because my uncle is moving to LA and we’re not going to see him on Christmas and tomorrow I have another Christmas lunch with my dad’s family because another of my uncles is not going to be here for Christmas either. And I think I have a “Christmas dinner” with my friends tomorrow night, I’m not sure yet.

So, that’s what I did this week, now I can start writing other kinds of posts, I don’t know about what but I’ll think about it. On other news, IT’S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! I’m really excited!

Also, I decided to show you what I wore to the secret Santa thingy I had with my mates from uni (I thought it was a pretty outfit so),

my anatomy drawing final just because I think it’s really awesome 

and a little selfie of my makeup, hair and little details of my outfit today. The hair doesn’t look that amazing because it’s all black and you can’t see the little braids.

I hope you all had a pretty good week and have a wonderful Christmas!

Love,

Karla

 P.S.: some of the photos look blurred, I don't know why, on my phone they looked fine

Uni Life: 2

Hello beautiful people! Hope you all are having a good time preparing for the holidays. I still have one more week to be free!! I only got two more drawings (one for bidimensional design & anatomy drawing) and one big essay for history and I'm done! I can not wait for thursday! 

I've always enjoyed christmas time but lately I've been really excited about it and i think its because all the vlogmas videos I've been watching on my spare time; the excitement that the british youtubers have when it come to christmas is unbelievable; watching them decorating the house, wearing christmas jumpers and singing christmas songs makes me want to live on a country where it snows so I could get even more excited about christmas and winter because we have sun the 365 days of the year and its summer all year.
 I would love to live to the seasons and wear clothes according to each seasons but what can I do? I went out to buy some supplies for some of the drawing finals wearing ankle boots and some people looked at me like I was some kind of psycho.

 If you're still on finals like me, good luck!! But if you aren't I hope you have a great week being free.

Till next week.

Uni Life

Like I said in my last post I've been really busy, I still have lots of school work to do and I've been trying to do my best at all of them. I still have two more weeks to go!! I'm mentally exhausted, I've been worrying about getting good grades, I'm stressed and my body hurts.
I just can't wait to be over with this semester so I can relax (maybe do some yoga), start reading the new Rick Riordan book "House of Hades" (its been on my nightstand for two weeks, calling me), maybe I'll catch up with my favorite shows and of course, eat lots of Christmas food.
And if you actually read my posts and you actually look forward to my next post, please bare with me! I'm still new to this and I've been trying my best to post at least once a week.

Love,
Karla xx

P.s.: my laptop hasn't been working for the last two weeks so I've been waiting for a kind human being to let me use their computer (and yes, I'm talking about my family).

P.s. 2.:  I'm thinking of starting this "series" of posts where I update you guys on what I've been up to every week, but don't worry, I will still make other posts like the ones I've done so far.

Finals

So it’s officially December. Christmas is getting closer and so are finals. It’s that time where we have to stop procrastinating and start studying, something we all (most of us) try to avoid. Since I’ve been really busy with essays and projects I’ve decided to tell you some tips to help you study.

• ·         Take breaks between your studies. Ex. Study for an hour, rest for 20 minutes. You might take a little bit longer but your brain won’t be saturated when you finish.
• ·         Listen to some music that you really like. Music in most scenarios helps people concentrate
• ·         Turn your phone off, that way you won’t be distracted by whoever is texting you.

Those are some of the things I do while studying and I can tell you they actually work, at least for me, everyone is different, you just need to find what makes you get your things done.

On other news, I went to see Catching Fire on Saturday night and OMG! It was AMAZING!! I can’t wait for Mockingjay. Let me know if you saw it and you can’t wait for the next movie to come out just like me.

Or let me know if you try any of those tips and if they worked for you.

You can contact me on twitter or message me on tumblr.

Christmas recital

Today was my little (not so little) brother Christmas recital. He played a few songs with some of his mates from his guitar classes. And I decided I was gonna show you what I wore: creamy tank top from Delia’s, black leggings, a jacket just in case I got cold, ankle booties and a “clutch” from Iscuo.

 Hope you enjoy!

P.S.:I’m sorry for the bad quality photos, my little sister took them with my phone & sorry for the awkward modeling, I’m not a model, I’m getting started on all these “let’s do a photo shoot of my outfit for my blog” kind of thingy. 

Procrastination

If you read my last post you probably know I said I was gonna spend the weekend thinking what to write about, but I spend the whole weekend procrastinating and thinking ideas for future posts (ok, I did think of some ideas) instead of doing my homework. Since that’s all I did in the weekend I decided to tell you some of my favorite ways to procrastinate:

• Go on tumblr. This is probably the queen of procrastination. People are often like “I’m only gonna be here for an hour” and then when you realize, its 2 am already.  And yes, this happens to me (almost every night).
• Go on YouTube. If you’re not an addict to the internet (like myself) you’ll probably be thinking “how is YouTube a way of procrastination?” Well, let me tell you, it is. YouTube it’s kind of like tumblr, you can get addicted easily. You go to watch 1 video and end up watching a lot more that one little video.
•  Go on Netflix and watch your favorite shows and movies. This one is not gonna be exactly a waste of time since you will enjoy it but you probably stopped doing something to do this. So, it’s still procrastination.
• Go on twitter. That way you can see what all your favorite celebrities are doing and stuff. You will probably spend hours scrolling through your timeline. Or go on instagram, you will spend hours watching pictures of this people, but be careful; you don’t want to like something by mistake.
• Go on facebook, if you still use it, and see what people you actually know are doing.

 And last but not least,

•  Spend your time writing posts for your blog or making videos for your channel. It will productive for you and your brain but it might not be so productive for your grades.

Hellooo

Hello lovely people! As you can probably tell by the sidebar my name is Karla. I’m a fashion design student living in the Caribbean, Dominican Republic to be more exact.
For a long time I’ve been wanting to start a blog but my mind would always be like “what are you gonna talk about?”, “people don’t want to know about your life” or “no one is gonna read it” and guess what? I’ve decided not to listen to my sometimes dumb mind.
So, here I am, writing my first post on this blog, still without any ideas of what could I talk about. I’ll probably spend the whole weekend thinking what to write about instead of doing all the homework I have.
Maybe I’ll write about some cool things I learn in university or something really cool that happens, I still don’t know but I hope to figure it out eventually along the process.
Please bare with me since I’m new to all this,
Love,
Karla xx
