I've been absent from this blog and basically all social media related to this blog for about two years now. I'd like to give a reasonable excuse as to why that happened but all I can say is I have been busy, however I am truly aware that that is not a good enough excuse because, aren't we all?
Because of this I would like to give you guys (if you still remember me) a quick life update and I will do my best to try and stay committed (for the fifth time) to this blog.

If you did not know already, I lived in Spain, however since August 2018, I have been living in Ireland. This has been a massive change in my life but it still does not excuse my absence from writing as this relocation happened a year after I went AWOL.

To be frank with you guys, it was hard. I do miss Spain alot but I do think it was for the better. Adjusting to a new place is always going to be hard as leaving everything you know behind to start a fresh is never easy.
I managed to meet lots of friendly people both in school and through other friends and luckily, my studies did not suffer at all. I am quite happy for the most part that my aprents decided to make such a bold move however I do miss the Spanish weather.
There is not much to say about Ireland or anything else in my life for that matter because I honestly believe that there has been little to no change over the past two years. I've met so many lovely people who eventually changed my life for the better butI think that that is a story for nother day.

With all this said, this Summer I am making it a point of duty to write more as I forgot how much I truly enjoyed this.
Stay tuned for more blog posts!

This is the third post in my Channelling the music in me 'series'. Today I'll be talking about DJ-ing.
If you've ever considered it,  like me, or if you're going through a musical phase and just need sometjing to make some of your creative pieces that you're thinking about, you've probably got an inner DJ in you haha.
The Numark NS7-II is probably your best option, it's a 4 channel DJ performer! It's affordable and it's got great reviews.
Make sure to check it out and read a more in depth description about them with this link : http://www.guitarcenter.com/Numark/NS7II-4-Channel-DJ-Performance-Controller-1376595893419.gc

If you do decide to get it, you're making a great decision! It's something I'm 100% sure you won't regret! 

Right now at school we're in the middle of finals week, which should probably have a different name because they're about 3 weeks though.

Many of you don't know this about me, but I'm quite the musician.. haha! When I was younger I used to love writing poems and songs and I also played the piano plus my brother played the guitar, so when I came across this website I was filled with joy!

It's a music effect 'maker', I feel like this was all that was needed to complete our little band, my younger brother wanted to play the drums, so with the pianist, the singers, the guitarist and the drummer we've got a complete band!

It's called the Univibe and it's basically a sound/music effect machine, it's got the most iconic music effects that have been used since the 60s, you can change the rate, speed...
The reason I am writing about this is because, like I mentioned above it gave me sort of a nostalgic feeling thinking about the mini band I could've created with my brothers and I wanted to give you guys something fun to read while I write about an amazing tool I found online.

Unfortunately, this item does not ship to Spain...yet, but as soon as it does I'll get my brothers and we can finally create our band haha!

This Summer has been great, it's been awesome! I went out much more than last year, I spent more and had lots of fun, but there are things I wish I would've done with more frequency or things I was planning on doing but didn't get to do at all.
I start school in two days, so my chances of doing these things are extremely low, but I'll go ahead and start my list!

I wish I would've written more

This Summer I promised I would write more and update my blog more regularly, because I thought that I wouldn't be busy at all and that I'd have all the time in the world... That didn't happen at all, I was really busy this Summer and I tried to write whenever I had the chance, but anytime I wrote something I wouldn't really be pleased with the outcome of it, I'd edit and re-read it a bunch of times but I still wouldn't be happy so I eventually stopped trying.
During school days, I'll try and update my blog at least once a week!

I wish I would've taken more photos

This Summer I went to lots of beautiful places, Malaga is extremely beautiful during the Summer and it being Summer I went out a lot but I didn't capture the essence of these wonderful places so most of them remain forgotten, I did take quite a few selfies with my friends, but I didn't get a chance to capture these beautiful locations I went to this Summer.

I wish I would've exercised more

This happens, basically every Summer, it's a habit that I'm trying to break - I promise myself that I'll work out and stop after a few days or weeks, I stopped exercising this Summer on August, but I wish I would've exercised more because knowing myself I'm pretty sure I won't work out during the winter. I am starting volleyball soon so that could help!

I wish I would've started a YouTube Channel

If you've been following this blog for a while now, you'll all know that I have a YouTube account for a website called Stardoll, this Summer, I managed to get over 300 subscribers and get to 1100+ subscribers! I'm really grateful for that, but I do wish I would've started a Youtube Channel about myself.

This Summer I've been looking around for different cameras that are in a high schooler's budget (because honestly, I can't afford all the fancy Canons all these youtubers use) and I came across the Zoom Audio Recorder, It's an amazing video recorder and audio recorder for a really good price, this recorder can be used for vlogging which was my main purpose and simple talking videos, I have lots of life story and lessons which I'd love to share with you guys but sometimes writing isn't enough, I wanted to record it in a way that you guys will be able to see my face and actually capture my emotions and not misinterpret what I'm trying to say.
The Zoom Audio Recorder has a HD screen and HD audio quality which comes in really handy when vlogging or filming a storytime video. it's a portable 'pretty lightweight' camera which you can take around with no fuss and it's got a long lasting battery life plus it's got a FLIP SCREEN!

I think this camera was made for people to record their covers and stuff, but if I do get around to purchasing this camera, I'll definitely start my YouTube Channel!

Overall this Summer was a great one, but if I'd done the four things I mentioned above, my Summer would've been perfect!

Make sure to checkout Zoom Audio Recorder!

A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog post on Fashion Life Hacks To Make Your Life Easier after two or three months I think it's about time I did one for Beauty!

These are some tips and tricks I implement in my daily life that just make my life much easier!

Make your Makeup Last Longer
I barely wear makeup, I do it once a month or so but when I do I wear minimal makeup, when I wear that minimal makeup I want it to last all day and since I'm no expert and I'm sort of cheap too and I don't want to purchase a primer, I stick my face in the freezer for a while, thirty seconds or so.
I know me explaining it like this may sound all sorts of crazy and stupid and I'm not really sure if there's a scientific explanation behind all this but my makeup lasts all day!
Or you could just, you know, buy a primer suitable to your skin type...


Make Your Perfume Last Longer
All you need for this life hack is a refrigerator and your perfume.
Put your perfume in the refrigerator the night before you want to use it and spray it when you need it.
I don't know the scientific explanation behind this but all I know is that it works.
Also make sure no one drinks it! Haha!


Look More Awake
When you're applying your eye makeup, put your highlighter in your inner tear-duct area and Ta-dah! You look less walking-dead-ish.


Double The Thickness and Length Of Your Ponytail
All you have to do is create two ponytails, one on the bottom of your head and one on the top of your head.
Create the ponytail on the bottom first because this way when you create your second ponytail on the top of your head you're able to cover the tracks where the first ponytail starts.


Super Soft Lips
I've been doing this one since I was seven, I just used to brush my lips after brushing my teeth because I found it relaxing, I didn't know it made your lips softer by removing the dead skin cells of your lips.


Use Apple Cider Vinegar As  A Toner
Apple Cider Vinegar makes a great toner, it does just what a regular toner does but it's much more affordable.
Bonus Tip : You can also use it on your hair before your final rinse for added shine, less frizz...


T-Shirt Dry Your Hair
Sometimes towels can be really harsh on your hair and can actually damage it, using a t-shirt to soak up excess water is great for your hair and it reduces frizz significantly.
