I love this song!! John Mayer is kind of a cocky douchebag in my eyes but I'm a fan of his voice and his music<3

Summer Favs
I thought I should write a lighter, breezier post this time since the last one was more of a rant. Um, so I just realized that I haven't really talked about fashion much, and not that I'm a crazy, diva fashionista, but I do have my tastes. So I will just share 5 items of clothing/products I think are hot this summer, and 1 I think should definately be on the not list...
1) The Strawed Fedora
I don't know whether it was Jason Mraz or Carly Rae Jepsen in her music video for Tug-of-War that got me hooked on these cute hats but I think they're amazing and perfect for the summer and not just for going to the beach. Not only are they stylish but they protect your head from intense mr. sunshine.
2) The Sweet Jumper
This adorable one-piece outfit comes strapless and with straps. The material is light and thus comfortable and great for any occasion whether it be a casual chill-out day with friends or a date/night out with the girls, just glam up the look with some pretty jewelery and voilà!
3) Summer Make-up
For me personally, summer make-up is all about looking natural, which means the complete opposite of caking on everything in your make-up bag. I like shimmery peaches, pinks, pearls, golds and bronzes. Look for tones and tints that compliment your skin tone. Pick a good mascara (I love L'Oreal voluminous water-proof) to brighten up your eyes and some moisturizing chapstick with an SPF of at least 15.
4) Gladiators and Topsiders
The nice thing about gladiators is that they go with pretty much anything, from shorts to pants to dresses and skirts. It took a while for them to grow on me but they eventually did. However I'm only a fan of the low cut ones, the high strap, calf-embracing ones I feel are trying a little too hard. Topsiders are shoes that I've always had a crush on, I think they look great on both men and women. And tell me they don't scream out comfortable, am I wrong?
5) Frizz Controller
What's that one thing girls complain about during the summer? Oh right, the humidity and how their hair suffers from it. Well I bring you a great solution, now I haven't actually ever tried this stuff but I hear it's super. I have tried the John Freida Frizz-Ease Shampoo for curly hair and the difference it made on my hair really stood out. This product works on all hair types to eliminate frizz.
And lastly a fashion faux pas....
6) The Blindingly Neon Fannypack
This hiddeous thing should seriously NEVER come back in style. It should remain back in the 80s and 90s where it belongs and should never come back from the grave to haunt us. Sure it's handy and convenient but there are so many other more trendy alternatives, why opt for this? WHY? It's not cool dude, sorry but not even you can rock that.

The Evil Tongue
Why is it that we hurt the ones who love us and love the ones who hurt us?
I saw this on someone's facebook status not too long ago and it really made me think. I realized how true it was. Why do we end up ruining relationships we have with close loved ones and try to make unhealthy ones work? Is it because we know that no matter what the ones who love us will always be there for us, whereas we fear that the ones who hurt us will leave us if we don't strive to keep them happy despite the fact that it will only end up damaging us more in the end?
You know the saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me"? Well clearly whoever came up with that was not human (probably some robot cyborg). 'Cause words do affect a person, deeper than you may think.
Sometimes we're too blind or too caught up in our own selfish ways to see that the people who love us just want the best for us, that's why when they give us advice in certain situations that displease us, we react by hurling bitter words at them, words that are not meant to cut that deep but do so anyway, words that once are out of one's mouth are impossible to take back. Words that rip a hole through your bare chest and pierce your fragile, beating heart. No matter how "tough", strong or heartless one appears to be, everyone is a victim. We underestimate the power of our words, the power of the human tongue. It's funny, it's only a tiny part the body, but with it we can start forest fires. By the time we realize how deeply we cut someone, it's already too late. But hey, we're not perfect, sometimes when we're angry, we say things in the heat of the moment, without thinking about how it will affect the person. And that's just it! we don't think before we speak. I can say for myself that I'm guilty of this. Because although we might not mean to cause others pain, the damage is inevitable.
Man, we can be real idiots sometimes believing we know what we're doing. We may even consciously know that they are right but often a little thing called pride gets in the way and we rebuke them anyway. However, this is a mistake we can all avoid, we just need to acquire more patience and self-control, in other words stop being so quick to anger. We also need to quit being so closed off to our loved ones, listen to their say and take it into consideration. They care about us and maybe they've been in our shoes and just don't want to see us get hurt. Being wise is to analyze our relationships, remove any trash (people) that aren't worth maintaining in our life.
So instead of spreading venom with our words we should try spreading joy and encouragement. Our words should bring life to our close relationships, not death.
This song is old but I absolutely love it! the lyrics hit me hard.

Viva La Vida
I don't really have much to say at the moment, wait scratch that, I actually have a lot on my mind, but I can't pick out a topic, so I thought I would post a song I recently discovered that's been stuck in my head, it's a spanish song by a mexican band called Jaguares. Might as well post a spanish song since I am currently in a spanish speaking country. There's just something addictive about this song, it's called La Vida No Es Igual, translated means Life Is Not The Same. So, here you go...
