Fallen/Never too far

Fallen too Far, definitely one of my favorite books by Abbi Glines.

Blaire, whose mom died a couple of days ago, moves to Rosemary beach looking for her father who she hasn't seen in five years after her twin sister died. Blaire meets Rush, he is the son of a famous rock star and also the eldest son of Georgiana, Blaire's step mother. At first, Rush makes Blaire's life miserable because she thought she was not welcome there. Rush wanted to be away from her because of a secret, he wanted to protect his sister Nan, which is also really mean to Blaire. At the end they both fall in love but soon after she finds out the secret and runs away to her town. I mean all this it's really vague, the way I describe it but  this is an awesome story, I loved it. I definitely add this book as one of my favorite books and I really recommend it.

Never too Far actually came out today! This is the second book. Good, I didn't have to wait too long to read it. I only waited one day to read it after I finished with fallen too far.

This second part is about Blaire coming back to Rosemary beach where Rush lives. There is a good reason why she comes back. Rush is all happy and excited to see Blaire back, but that doesn't mean that she would be with him. Basically this book is about Rush gaining Blaire's trust back but in order for that he needs to do much more. His family is actually the main obstacle between Rush and Blaire. A horrible accident happen that makes this book more interesting and got me crying until the end of the book. The book actually had a nice ending and I am happy how it came out. I can't tell you more because I actually beat Jasmine to read it and I know she wouldn't like me spoiling the story.

Abbi Glines is definitely one of the best authors ever!!!

NYC

Yesterday, I went to a training in NYC. The training was only for two hours and we got there really early so we walked and walked for more than three hours. I love NY, I love the fashion and I love it churches. The only thing that I don't like going to NY is because I could never find a place to eat. Wait what? Yeah there are a lot of places to eat, but because there are too many I can't never pick one to choose. It always happen.  I never carry cash with me so I couldn't eat from the vending carts, even though the food smell so good. At the end, Denise and I went to a coffee shop and I eat some noodles it was ok but next time I go, I have to ask a real New Yorker for a place to eat. The highlight of the day was definetely when we almost missed our bus, I ran like I haven't run in years just to catch the bus. I am so hurt right now, my legs and butt hurt. I am not in shape at all. Here is a collage of some pictures that I took.

Ombre highlights

Another reason why I haven't been able to finish reading, it's because I been trying to do this
Ombre Highlights to my hair and it took longer than I expect it. The Ombre Highlights or the Californian Highlights is when you have a lighter color in your hair, like brown on top and blonde on the bottom. I am doing all this by myself and I have a lot of hair so I wasn't able to finish all in one day, actually it took me about three days to finish it. If you want to know how to do it or what to buy I'll leave you the list of basic things to do, but be really careful because if you hair is dark you are going to have to bleach it and it could really damage your hair. This is the YouTube video that I found and gave me an idea of how to do the highlights.


To bleach your hair you need:
Salon Care 30 volume creme and Salon Care Quick white super-strength powder lightener.
Mix the two formulas together and apply it to the area that you want to be lighter. Please be careful and use gloves when applying because the powder is really strong and itchy.

This is how it came out. :)









Because of Low

I started reading Because of Low by Abbi Glines but I haven't been able to finish reading it. I do like the book in general, I just think that if this book wasn't a continuation of Breathe the other book I read before, it would have been better. When I read Breathe I liked Marcus,  but in this other book not so much and I don't know why. It could be that in the first book he was the other guy, the guy that is nice and cute but for some reason the main character falls in love with the bad guy or the rock star.  I kind of remember Marcus as the other guy and it's kind of hard to think of him as a main character. I don't know, I like the book, I do want to finish reading it so I can continue with other books.

 continuation....

Ok, I just finished the book, and I liked the ending. Basically, the second part of the book was a lot more interesting than the first part. I like the plot and for that moment I saw the real Marcus, I saw him as the main character of this book and the story between him and Low. I do want to tell you that I liked the ending for one thing specially. Despite of his father's affair, his father didn't go back to her wife and lived happily ever after( this doesn't mean that I am proud of what he did) I am not, but I was kind of expecting for the father to noticed what he did and go back running to his wife and family,  but instead he stayed with Low's sister and Larissa, and everybody moved on.

My city

My friend Jeremias from Mexico called me a couple of days ago, I was so excited that I actually fell from my bench because I was trying to get signal from the window. Oh, how I miss my country sometimes. I miss my friends, my family, my nephew and how I miss the food. Juarez, is in the border from Mexico and United States which brings a lot of advantages and a lot more disadvantages. Juarez has suffered a lot. I  remember when I was in 10th grade in the year 2004, girls of my age started to disappear, girls who got missing after a day of school or work. Families were devastating by not being able to find their bodies, and some of them by the conditions that the bodies were found. In that time, we didn't have a car and I had to take two buses to go school. I had to walk through an abandon space in the morning  to take the bus and on the way back in the afternoon. It was horrifying thinking that something could happen to me. Luckily, my parents decided that it was time to come and live in United States. The killings lasted for about two years, but there are still women missing and we cannot do anything to help those families feel better. That was the first time that my city suffered. The second one was a couple of years after in 2008, when drug dealers started to fight between each other to gain my city. The purpose of all this is because Juarez is one of the biggest border cities and the drug dealers need to gain access to United States. This war between those cartels are still going on, leaving thousands of people dead every year. Some of them innocent people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, one of my cousins is dead because of this. Last year the killings minimized and we hope that this year would be even better. My city was one day beautiful and safe, now is not. We have proved that our people are really strong, we know that even though things happen in life, we cannot give up, we usually find the good thing about all this, maybe keeping families together,  but most importantly we have faith that all of this will end soon.

Trapped by snow

Day three trapped in my own house. I never seen anything like this before in my life. I never seen so much snow, that it closed up all of the streets in my neighborhood. My husband and his parents have been cleanning  snow since Friday night. However,  Saturday night was the worse, almost three hours trying to uncover the 4 cars in our driveway. The good thing about this is that our house has been warm with electricity and eating real food  (we don't usually cook everyday). Today for example, I cleanned really good all my house, we took out my daughter's crib and we went for a walk. I am actually getting bored right now, there is not much to do anymore hehe. I might start reading hopeless again. We know work has been cancel for all of us tomorrow, there is no choice we are trapped. Stay warm :)
