Fashion life hack series: 10 wardrobe essentials

1) pencil skirt 

This is a pretty basic item for any girls' wardrobe. It's classy and alluring for those night outs or business meetings. Black is preferable as it fits for almost many tops and colors. 

2) white v-neck 

Now, casual days are all about casual clothing. Need something neutral then try wearing a white v-neck shirt or at least a tee. They come in all colors and emphasizes the chest area more with that V design. 

3) skinny jeans 

Skinny jeans are pretty self explanatory. I mean who doesn't have at least one pair of skinny jeans? It gives off the illusion of longer legs and pairs off well with any shoes, tops, and accessories. I highly recommend being extraordinary and find some bright colors. 

4) cross body purse 

Cross body purse is not always a must for everyone. But if you're in a casual date then this purse would be great to bring along. Not only is it subtle, but it's more secure to your body. 

5) tights 

You can't go wrong with some tights. Great for cold days, hide leg hair, and feeling sexier under skirts. They come in amazing designs, patterns, colors, and style. They really come in handy for any occasion. 

6) High heels 

Need a way to elongate your legs? Don't worry heels are a life saver. It makes almost any outfit really gorgeous. I know it can be tricky at first, but start off at a short heel and work your way up to those sexy 6 in. stilettos. Perfect for a date night and a casual day when you're not in the mood to wear sneakers.   

7) Flannel 

Flannels are perfect for all outfits. They make it a little more casual and sometimes it can spice up the look. With different patterns, they help make your clothing stand out especially with check print. 

8) Ankle boots 

Ankle boots look nice with a dress or a pair of jeans. Looks natural and sophisticated at the same time. Having ankle boots with a lace up are super cute so be sure to look for some. 

9) Button down shirts

Button down shirts are kinda like flannels. They are wearable as a shirt, cardigan, or an accessory such as hanging it around your waist. Good for many occasions especially during interviews or meetings. A variety of colors to choose and most are in a reasonable price. 

10) bandeau 

Bandeaus make a cut in our drawers. Comfy to wear at home and outdoors. It's useful whenever you're in a mood to wearing a side less tank. It's bold and daring especially the colors and designs. 

Hopefully this gives you some helpful tips when shopping for clothes.

8 glasses a day keeps the doctor away

We all have heard, "You need to drink at least 8 glasses of water!!" Almost many of us have neglect this because 
a) It can be hectic and tiring 

b) Too much will lead to lots of urine

c) We don't think about health benefits 

So, let's change our bad habits of not drinking enough. Girls like us must need water for so many reasons. I guaranteed that you'll feel stronger, better, and happier. Here are some benefits and tips to be hydrated:

Pros: 

-Easy to lose weight 

-Healthy hair/skin

-Ridding body toxins

-Reduce risk of cancer 

-Boost energy 

-Prevent constipation

-Healthy heart 

Tips: 

1) Detox water/tea 

So, I've been stressing this out almost everywhere and who doesn't love flavored water? There are tons of recipes to create your own detox water. It's real simple! My go-to favorite is adding slice strawberries and lemon with a bit of spearmint leaves. And if you wanna try something soothing, drink detox tea. Lots of young women have drink detox tea everywhere they go. They flush out the toxins, improve circulatory, promote happiness, and increase chances of weight loss. Seriously, my favorite fashionista have at least tried detox tea. Most of the ones I've seen were Fruitteatox, Skinnytea, and Yourtea. Try it. You might like it as well. 

2) Fruits

Nobody likes to repeatedly drink water especially when we need those 8 glasses. Fruits are packed with vital nutrients and consist of 80% of water. That's really enough to help you get to 8 glasses a day. Fruits like watermelon and strawberries have 92% of water so better results comes from these fruits. Plus, spice up these fruits by blending into a smoothie, freeze them to popsicles, or throwing them into good old water like I said before. Not only are they tasty, but they benefit skin, hair, and overall mood. 

3) Hydrating face mask 

Let's talk about brightening your complexion. Of course intaking fluids do increase healthy performance, but let's not forget about our beautiful skin. It's important to treat the skin with lots of love. And staying hydrated is one thing. Start by using hydrating face masks as they reduce pimples, brighten/firm the skin, has anti-aging properties, and prevent dryness. There are some amazing ones out there, but if you're low on a budget then opt for diy facial masks. The more natural, the better. And the more chemicals, the worse. It's recommended that using a hydrating every 2 weeks. Trust me, your skin will thank you. 

4) Bathing in water 

Taking a shower or bath have some benefits of improving hair growth/shine, beautiful complexion, and relieve stress. After a long day, soaking in nice warm water eases the nerves. Toss in a bath bomb and add some peaceful music. I've also seen some people try a mud bath at home and why not? Nobody is in the bathtub so be bold. Mud baths are great to promote your skin. If you're more of a shower person then don't worry, there's still hope. Cooling water is beneficial to lock in pores and hair follicles. This will increase shine and brighten the skin. 

It's amazing how water is such an important element. Without it, you could risk serious consequences. Needless to say, stay hydrated as much as you can because water is zero in calories and has no cost. 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

Ootd: Casually Stylish

                    

                    

                Top: Yesstyle

                Flannel: Wet seal

                Shorts: Forever 21

                Shoes: Nordstrom 

Today, I decided to be a little more tom boyish, yet stylish. Usually, I'm so bland when finding clothes in my closet, but finding inspiration on Instagram has help creating this look. 

My flannel and shorts were given by my sis, yet I bought the NY shirt and Sperrys. 

I love how this top is so breathable to wear and it's slightly transparent, but overall it's versatile. My flannel was a bit tight at the back, but the light color was so easy to wear in the summer. The shorts had two buttons at the front for extra security so I didn't had to worry about it falling off. And lastly, the Sperrys came in a navy blue unlike the original color which I definitely prefer because khaki/tan wasn't my style. 

Thanks for taking your time! 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

Being independent is okay

I remember looking at the popular girls at my school and comparing their life to mine. I know it isn't healthy because all I could see was the glamorous life they take upon. It would make me feel so miserable that they have this gorgeous life that any girl would want. But one day, I've finally realized the important aspects of my seclusive life even if it wasn't as glamorous as the girls at school. 

Being an independent girl doesn't mean being antisocial. They can be define as strong, intelligent, and understanding. Having this lifestyle isn't a bad thing because it really allows us to be free and true. We have the ability to learn through failure, careless of other thoughts, and enjoy being ourselves. 

People always make a mistake. I mean it's a natural skill and in return we learn to fix it. But learning to fix the problem on our own is more crucial than having some else. Why? It shows perseverance and bravery. Also, it helps to practice making good decisions and learn problem solving skills. Independent means avoiding dependency from anyone. Ladies, don't be afraid to risk on your own. Be bold and daring. 

There are two types of girls out there: ones who care and ones who don't. Mainly, seclusive women tend to avoid the rude comments because it doesn't really matter at all to them. We don't have any insecurities since we trust so much on ourselves than others. Now, not everyone is completely okay with this skill because there will be a time when you do feel like shit, but it's alright. Don't worry. Fake it till you make it. Keep this skill in your head even with a couple of mistakes and eventually it'll be like second nature. 

Lastly, independency help discover ourselves and true passion. Finding interesting hobbies, knowing what we desire, and defining our true personality is a way to learn who we are as an individual. Everyone is not the same nor perfect. There's many people in different sizes, looks, character, skills, interests, and the list just goes on. But the most important aspect that an individual girl would be is having her own freedom. Freedom gives out many options from looks to personality. Researching your own body and mind does have an impact. We start to feel comfortable in our own body and accept changes that may or may not. Overall, giving yourself some time and focus could allow us to learn our true colors. 

After being seclusive to the outside world, I understand more about myself and how to be brave enough to conquer negativity. There's really no shame having this character because only YOU can bring out the best. Remember to hold your head up high and love yourself.

I really thank you guys for reading this post and hopefully it inspires you to feel okay being independent at times. Even if you aren't that kind of person, it would be wonderful to have a day off and learn something new. 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

Feel accomplish for this summer

So, summer has kicked in for almost everyone and let's just say it's a great time to relax and have fun. But if you were so caught up in school or work, you'd probably didn't have time for your goals like staying fit, mastering your skills, and leisure time. Right now is a good opportunity to catch up on activities you've missed. 

Let's start off by listing some stuff that you've always had planned, but never had the time to do so. It could be your new year's resolutions, movies/shows, sketching, dancing, your youtube channel, blog, or being fit. Try to list as many as you can especially the ones you couldn't finish during the school period. 

Next, set a schedule of how this is going to be achieved. For me, I made two schedule that alternates every other day. They consist of four activities for which only one changes every other day. Yours may vary depending on what activities you plan to do and how many you have. Be creative on your schedule. It's up to you on whatever makes you feel comfortable. 

Take action for your goals to be a reality. Find ways to make it happen that's either from tutorials or inspiration. You can't just magically finish your goal unless you know how it can be accomplish. So, research anything that will reach your purpose.

I know it can be tough accomplishing something when we don't have the will. At some point, we feel the adrenaline that's telling us this is the moment to shine. And by the next day, that feeling is gone. Being motivated is an easy task. All you need to do is find an inspiration that will keep you going such as your favorite model, food, quotes, or comments. For example, you want to have that bikini body, but no power to workout. Then try finding your favorite model and think about how awesome it would be to have that body. Remind yourself what outcome will happen if you stay focus. 

After learning the steps to reach your goal, now is the time to be consistent. I know being consistent is more pressuring because it can be tiring and boring. Nobody is perfect at everything, you need to practice, practice, practice. It's the key ingredient because there aren't any short cuts. Understand we can't instantly reach our target the next day. It may take days, weeks, or even months. Remember that summer is the only place where you have all this free time and don't waste it to easily. Be productive and stay consistent to your objective.

Remind yourself the steps above and you'll surely be in a great outcome. You're going to feel so confident and stress-free once you achieve it. Work hard and stay motivated for this summer. 

"Before giving up, remember why you started... "

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^
