Galentine/Valentine

Idk about you guys but this year I felt the love like no other time.
Nothing change about my love life, I'm still single, but I saw a lot of people sharing their love with someone and that felt good.

I stopped celebrating Valentine's Day when it wasn't so acceptable for "kids" to take those little cards and give it to everyone in their classroom and it converted to a day you only celebrate if you have a lover. One of my friend's has done little get-togethers to spend it all as friends, but for some reason I had not been able to go. This year tho, I did go and I spent Friday the 13th, (spooky...not really) with my friends. We had pizza and lots of fun talk. After that little kickback some of us went to another friend's valentines party. Something I like is that in Mexico it's not just Valentines day, it's dia del amor y la amistad (love and friendship), which leaves it more open to celebrating with friends.

On the 14th I saw a video that National Geographic shared about what kissing can transmit to other people. This really put me in a good mood and it made me realize how powerful it can be. This is an act of love that shouldn't be taken so simple. I mean, you're literally mixing your saliva with someone else's without even caring. Everyone remembers their experience with their first kiss, it's not an easy thing to forget. Some people might not remember their first kiss EVER but they do remember their first kiss with a significant other that changed their life completely, and to them, that's the only kiss that really matters.

Spread the love, but not only one day of the year. Kiss, hug, or just tell someone their importance of them in your life. ALSO remember someone out there loves you ;)

Mimimalism

The way of living vs. the fashion sense

Ok, so I watched a video by youtuber Jenn Im on her channel Clothesencounters called minimalist lookbook and I thought, what does that really mean? because I wasn't completely sure I was understanding this concept in a fashion way. So I looked a little bit more into it and found people's stories that allowed me to understand it better. 

A minimalist in general is a person who decides to live with only a minimum amount of belongings that they believe it's necessary or good for their survival. They limit their closet to only specific clothing for the weather throughout the year, "beauty" products are limited to basics for hygiene, and overall their rooms/houses have things that can serve more than one purpose. Those are some examples that don't necessarily apply to every single person because we all have very different needs or consider some things to be more important than others. This concept is pretty cool since it allows you to live life fully. Instead of focusing on materialistic ideas, you can redirect your attention to spiritual thoughts or focus on nature or your family. There's nothing better than spending time with the ones you love (says the girl locked in her room while her parents are downstairs, but I mean I did have to finish this post...) anyway here are some examples of minimalists homes.

A fashion minimalist is a person who in their closet only contains basic pieces with no patterns or clothing that aren't just fashion trends. It can also be a one time thing (less is more) where you don't layer clothing and use simple fabric for one day. The Minimalist Lookbook gives good advice on how to do effortless looks and still look gorgeous (props to Jenn Im). The last two images are from brand Everlane. Keep in mind a fashion minimalist doesn't have to necessarily live in an environment completely minimalist even though it usually goes hand on hand.  

If you think you want to try minimalism it doesn't have to be so intense since the beginning. You can start by removing clutter that doesn't really bring any purpose to your life. Don't hold on to things you don't enjoy or that have no meaning to you, thinking you might need it in the future when you haven't used it in the past 2 years. Even if you don't really want to be a minimalist, getting rid of old things you don't use can allow new things (not only materialistic but also experiences) to come into your life. You might have something in your room that is not allowing you to move forward in life, so just get rid of it. You can donate it to someone you know will enjoy or need it more than you.

Going back to my university

ALERT: lamest post ever

So here are a few sentences of my thoughts about school each day

Monday: For some reason it felt like the very first day in uni but this time I saw familiar faces.

Tuesday: Today was harder to wake up and I had a class at noon, but hey it wasn't so bad.

Wednesday: Apparently I'm taking some sort of art class which is ok but I'm poor and buying materials for it souds painful

Thursday: I'm too tired to even think and I'm forgetting my maths!! I need to study again what I learned in high school...moral of the day: save your work!!! 

Friday: My classes were chill and TGIF!!! That's all I got to say 

This first week back to school was pretty hectic actually but hopefully I'll be able to manage my time and work and have better posts for you guys.
