Divergent



Divergent by Veronica Roth


Yes! I finally read another book!! OMG I was so ashamed of not reading anything lately.  I did started some books but none of them got my attention. I don't know what was wrong with me! I was so into the makeup stuff and tutorials that instead of reading I got to watch makeup tutorials, what a shame :/ 
Ok well about two days ago while I was at work, I found this book whose cover is really similar to the Hunger Games. I started reading it and it really was a lot similar like the hunger games, but I liked it since the beginning too, so I read a little bit in a hard copy then I went home and downloaded it. For some reason it seems easier for me to read it in my phone or iPad. 
Ok, well the story is about Beatrice who lives in the Abnegation faction. There are 5 Factions and they are all different from each other like Beatrice's faction believe in selflessness, they are all helping people and they don't believe in outside beauty. They all wear the same colors to identify themselves and cover their heads and the kids are not suppose to talk to their parents or ask any questions. Another Faction is  the Dauntless who are the totally opposite from the Abnegation, they are brave and fun and they are the ones that are suppose to take care of the city like the guardians. Candor Faction is all about telling the truth, they are not suppose to lie, they have to be honest at all the times. The Erudite Faction, are the intelligent ones, they study and are the doctors of the city, the inventors etc... The Amity are the peace keepers, they are the gardeners, the ones that bring the food and more. Ok,well at the age of 16 all the kids are suppose to choose one of these Factions in a ceremony. They all, one by one take a Aptitude test and depending of their results, they get to choose a Faction. Well Beatrice is different, after her test inclusive results gets to choose not one but three of the factions. She is a Divergent, which is really dangerous and the story explains why. There is also a little bit of a love story <3 I really like the book, I am reading part two already its called Insurgent and I am almost half way through it. I really recommend these books, I kind of picture a movie about these books. It would be really cool!

For my daugther

Hello guys!!

I just wanted to share this video that I made for Saydee. I want her to look at this video that her mommy made her just because I love her so much. I remember her since the very first day she was born, she was purple, swollen and I thought she had a little penis haha.  I remember asking my husband to double check if she was a girl. She is been growing up so quick! I want her to look at her pictures because for some reason I don't have a lot of pictures of myself when I was a kid. My mom told me that she looks just like me except for my hair which was black and straight and of course the eyes!

Thoughts

I feel so bad because I haven't read any book lately. Right now I am freaking obsessed with make-up tutorials in YouTube. I am buying makeup and I am not supposed to :(

What I need is to go back to reading and forget about buying makeup for a while. Also, because I use my money on makeup, I haven't bought This Girl by Colleen Hoover which came out April 30th. There is also another book that I am so looking forward to it which is Entwined to You. The third book of the Crossfire Novels by Sylvia Day and it comes out on June 4th, but I'll be in Mexico when it comes out.

I have some great news btw, when I come back from vacations I will be starting a new job!!! I am excited and nervous and happy and everything at the same time : D

A lot of exciting things these coming months, my best friends are also getting married on July 4th! Definitively the Wedding of the year and I am one of the bridesmaids :)

One sad thing though.... One of my best friends Joanne is leaving me to go to Miami this Saturday :( I am so happy for her though, because this would be a nice experience but I would miss her so much. In Miami she would have a different energy, there is so much to do over there and it would be good for her and I can go visit her any time hehe

Here are some pictures...

First this Joanne and my daughter

This is Giuliana and me when I was pregnant

This is my best group of friends(including Joanne and Giuliana again)

Washington DC

You know what???? I still can't get over the weekend trip to DC.

I am seriously thinking on moving over there, but I heard it is an expensive city and right now I just can't. It was my first trip to DC and it was awesome. My family and I stayed in the Liaison Capitol Hill Hotel, just 2-3 minutes walking to the Capitol and the National Mall area. For those people who never been in Washington the National Mall is basically a huge park with lots of museums surrounded and if you continue, then you would get to the Washington Monument, the Tomas Jefferson monument and Abraham Lincoln monument. I would advise you to go for more than a weekend to see most of the museums and parks. We also went to the Smithsonian Zoo and it was a pretty long walk too, a lot of people as well, but the lines to see the exhibitions were going by quicker than I expected. Whenever you go please bring really comfortable shoes and clothing, cash to buy food from the vending trucks and an umbrella. I tell you something we were at a corner store right across the hotel buying food, and when we were almost leaving, it started to rain so much but really like a storm rain and just to cross the street to the hotel we were super wet, the street look like rivers (not kidding) but it was awesome. The hotel was really nice, really chick and modern, and really expensive. I paid around $500 for two nights, at first me and my husband were going by ourselves so that was a fair price because I kind of look at it like a honeymoon. Then my parents and daughter decided to join us and that's when I didn't want to pay that much money. Well, it was worth it we were really close to everything, and the museums and parks were free so we basically just pay for the food and hotel. We actually went to the Restaurant in the Hotel Art & Soul, and I didn't like it. It was too expensive for my taste and the food wasn't that great (this is from me and my husband). We ordered Salmon and it was just the Salmon with some mushrooms idk I didn't like it, so we paid around $100 just for the two of us. The service was great, not a lot of choices in the menu but that's it. Washington was a great experience I would definitively would go back and I truly recommend it for a getaway vacations.

Twisted Perfection

OMG!!! One of my favorite books!!!

Twisted Perfection is the third book after Fallen too far and Never too Far by Abbi Glines. Those two books were already on my top favorite list. She is deff one the best!!

This book is so hot! I always liked Woods, even from the first book when he was in love with Blaire but she ended up choosing the bad guy. So it is good that Abbi wanted to write about the good guy who ends up lonely. She actually twisted everything he is so naughty in this book and that's what I liked about it, that he is so nice but so different from the first two books. In this book Woods has a one night stand with Della, who is passing through Rosemary town looking for adventure, and at the same time leaving the terrors from her past life. They actually had an amazing time together, idk how many times they did it and this book is really explicit about. Well, she leaves town leaving a mark on Woods life. Woods is actually getting engage when Della comes back and just can't continue, this is a must to read!! I really loved the book

OMG and that ending!! I can't wait for Fall (Not that I want the summer to be over) but I want to read it so bad!!


Just a Little

Hello there!

I went to Washington DC over this weekend with my family and it was really beautiful. A lot of places to visit  in just a weekend, it wasn't enough. There were 6 hours of driving and a took advantage of that time to read 4 mini series by  Tracie Puckett

The first book is called Just a Little Crush and I was hooked right away, yes this book is not naughty or anything. This book is just about Julie Little who is in high school, and she needs to do her community service in the police department for a school project. OK, well she meets Luke who is really mad because he needs to work with a high school student and obviously he thinks it's just a waste of time. What I like about this book is that Julie and Luke work together but they're both really stubborn, and they're always fighting with each other. Like the tittle of this book Julie has a little crush on him and he knows it, that why he gives her a hard time hehe.

     

The other books are really good too, when finish one it makes you want to read the other one right away. The books are just $.99 ea and they are 4 of them.
The second book is called Just a little Embrace, the third book is Just a little Sincerity, and the last one is Just a little Promise.

Hola!

He estado pensando mucho si subir este video o no. Lo digo porque como mujer a veces no nos sentimos suficientemente bonitas para aparecer en un video. Y mucho menos en un video de maquillaje, si o no?  A veces la inseguiridad nos lleva a no hacer nada, por eso esque me atrevi a subirlo. Este video es para mostrarles unos trucos que a mi me a funcionado para cubrirme mis marcas de Acne pero a la vez que nos veamos super natural. (te advierto andaba bien mormada y mis bocinas no sirven bien jeje)


ok lo que use fue:

All-in-one BB cream-The Body Shop
Concealer NW25-M.A.C.
Polvo NC35-M.A.C.
Rubor.Blush-Paeach/Durazno de Cover Girl

Acuerdense que es muy importante escojer el color que mas se asimile a tu tono de piel. :)
