March Favorites

Hello everyone! It is time for march favorites, so let's start:

First things first, we're going to start with skin care. So recently I went to Bobbi Brown and after a really long talk with the girl about how dry my skin is (even though I use cream every single day) we arrived to the conclusion that I need a new cream, so I bough the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream and to go with it I also bought the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Tonic. So after using it for a couple of weeks I really feel that when I put it on, my skin feels much better and softer. Also between my skin care favorites it has to be this hand cream by Lush called Love and Light, I don't know why but during the day I wash my hands a lot and my skins was drying and this makes them feel so soft that actually a couple of people have told me: "OMG your hands are so soft" and I'm like: "oh thanks, you're making me blush hahaha"

Moving on to make up, I've been loving the Inimitable Volume Chanel Mascara, I actually have long eyelashes and I don't usually wear a mascara that makes your lashes extra long and this make them long enough to look natural. The next has to be this foundation also from Bobbi Brown ( I should probably do a post all about Bobbi Brown products hahah) and it doesn't dry my skins that much so I think it's cool.

Then, one of my favorite things from this month has to be the boxer braids. One day a friend of mine asked me if she could do them in my head and I was like:"yeah, sure, whatever", but then when I saw the finished look I fell in love, and after struggling a lot I kind of learnt to do them. so yeah I love them hahah.

The next thing on my favorites list is fashion, and the truth is that this month I haven't gone shopping a lot but I re-discovered a t-shirt on my closet that I bought back in September from Topshop.

Music, music, music, as you know I really love music, but lately, even though I've been listening to music, I haven't been discovering new one. But this weekend has been all about the Rolling Stones and their song "As Tears Go By" .

Okay, this month I've been crazy busy studying for my exams but every time I had a free time I read. The books that I read this month are: Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, Hot Water Music by Charles Bukowski, two comics by Jeffrey Brown called Undeleted Scenes and AEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Othello by Shakespeare and Lolito by Ben Brooks. 

Last but not least, we've got my "screen" favorites. The first one is actually a Youtuber and I've been subscribed to her since forever but lately I've been paying more attention to her and she is Claudia Sulewski, I feel like she's my alter ego but nicer. 

Then, also between my "screen" favorites, there is Penny Dreadful a TV Show that I started this weekend and I'm finishing it today. It's so good. I've binge watch the 2 seasons in less than 5 days. There it goes my social life.   

And finally, my last favorite is Zootopia. I went to the cinema with my little brother to watch this movie and it's so beautiful. I think everyone should watch it.

So, that is it for my March Favs and thanks for reading.

PS: Some of the products don't appear in the picture because I didn't have them with me that day. 

Plants

Hello everyone! So today I figured out that I would talk you about my plants. Does it sound weird? I'm going to explain you hhahaah. Well, the thing is that lately I've been feeling awkward and I thought what if I buy a plant? maybe if I take care of it I will feel better.

I've never been good at taking care of anything, actually when I was little I had two mini-fishes and they died because I didn't feed them properly. But this plants don't need a lot, just light, water twice a month, love and if you want you can also talk to them and share your secrets and even sing (maybe it sounds crazy).

This plants makes the surroundings look more clear and it really alive. I could spend hours watching them.

The last thing that I wanted to tell you today is that me and one friend will make a big announcement (for us) this weekend. 

I Just Want Your Jeans-God Help The Girl  (OST)

Thanks for reading,

They Have Done It For Me

How are you? I'm still a little bit upset...Okay I'm not gonna lie: I feel worse than shit. I think that life it's a horrible thing and I hate it. My panick attacks have grow up since my fight with my best friend and I think that everything sucks. There's no day that I don't feel more emptyness than I used to...

As usual, music it's been by my side this whole time and I thought: Hey! You're not the only one that feels like crap right now in the world. So I decided to post the songs that I've been listening since IT all started.

These songs are not happy at all  and if you're looking for something that cheer you up this is not the place. I just pick up these songs cause they say in words exactly how I feel inside.

• Untitled-Simple Plan: 

"How could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes.I've got nowhere to run. The night goes on. It's like I'm fading away. I'm sick of this life. I just wanna scream. How could this happen to me?"

• Invisible-Hunter Hayes: 

"Hear me out, there's so much more to life than what you're feeling now. Yeah, someday you'll look back on all these days and all this pain is gonna be invisible."

• Save You-Simple Plan:

"Take a breath. I'll pull myself together. Just another step until I reach the door. You'll never know the way it tears me up to see you. I wish that I could tell you something to take it all way. SOmetimes I think I could save you." 

•  Misguided Ghosts-Paramore:

"We are just misguided ghosts. Traveling endlessly. The ones we trusted the most pushed us far away. And there's no one road. We should not be the same. But I'm just a ghost. And still they echo me. They echo me in circles."

• Innocent-Taylor Swift:

"Lost your mind trying to get it back. Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days? Always a bigger bed to crawl into. Wasn't it beautiful when you believe in everything? And everybody belived in you?" 

• Fix You-Coldplay:

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired you can't sleep. Could it be worst?"

•  Astronaut-Simple Plan:

"So tonight I'm calling all astronauts. Calling lonely people that the world forgot. If you hear my voice come pick me up. Are you out  there? Cause you're all I 've got."

• Demons-Imagine Dragons:

"Look into my eyes. It's where my demons hide. It's where my demons hide. Don't get too close. It's dark inside."

• Youth-Daughter:

"Well, I've lost it all. I'm just a silouhette. A lifeless face that you'll soon forget."

• Paradise-Coldplay: 

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world. But it felw away from her reach and she run away in her sleep"

• Tomorrow-Avril Lavigne:  

"And I wanna believe you, when you tell me that it'll be okay. Yeah I try to believe you, but I don't."

• The World Is Ugly-My Chemical Romance: 

"These are the words, but the world's aren't coming out: They burn cause they are hard to say. For every failing sun, there's a morning after."

•  How To Save A Life-The Fray:

"Where did I go wrong I lost a friend"

• Teenagers-Hayley Williams: 

"It's in the air now, bitter tears and broken hearts. We're teenagers, we count the years, we think we're smart, but we're not, we don't know anything."

•  This Song Saved My Life-Simple Plan:

"I wanna start by letting you know this: because of you my life has a purpose, you helped me be who I am today, I see myself in every word you say. Sometimes I feel like nobody gets me, trapped in a world where everyone hates me, there's so much that I'm going through, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."

• All You Wanted-Taylor Swift Cover (Originally by Michelle Branch): 

"If you want to, I can save you, I can take you away from here, so lonely inside, so busy out there, and all you wanted was somebody who cares."
