Quarantine Thoughts - Day 25

-

I was going to say that today was pretty uneventful, but then I thought about and it actually wasn’t. I’ll start from the beginning.


Sephora Collection Green Clay Mask – Take 2

I decided I was going to try the Sephora Collection’s Green Clay mask again, but I wanted to spread it out more, from the nose to the cheeks, because I have a ton of visible pores in there as well. It works! I can’t tell you why or how but my pores were shut, my skin was smooth and I just stared at the mirror for ages! When this quarantine ends and it is really safe to go out there again, I’m planning a field trip to the nearest Sephora!

Easter Celebrations

Today it was just me, my parents and my cats, but usually this humble home is full on this day. I’m not religious, so I usually stay out of the religious parts of the celebrations, but my parents and sister like to have the house blessed by the priest every year, which obviously didn’t happen. To me, dates like these are a good reminder of how important family is and how important it is to spend time with them and tell them we love them. And that doesn’t change. There’s love in the baking, there’s love in helping my dad set the table, there’s love when we share food and drink, there’s love in sitting on the couch and watching movies all day, chatting and laughing. We didn’t get to do everything we do each year, but we made sure that the happiness and love was there. Oh, I didn’t forget! Here’s a picture of the French pudding, as promised (even the caramel is home-made):



Coursera’s Online Course


This was the highest moment of the day for me! I had decided that today I was going to take the first exam from the online course I’m taking and I passed with flying colors! 100% correct answers in the first try!

I felt really proud and very excited to move forward in learning, so tomorrow I’m starting week 2 of the course. In this week’s part of the course we’re going to talk about the genetic aspect of cancer, which is what interests me the most, considering my background, so I can’t wait!


I hope you all had a very positive and fulfilling Easter day, however you celebrate it!

Everyday Makeup

I hardly have been wearing makeup lately, as I’m staying home as much as I can, but considering today was Mother’s Day, I wanted to look good for some pictures so, I got my Ultimate Nyx Palette, some eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick and went to town! Well, actually, my makeup is pretty simple, and that’s how I like it! So, this is how I do it: I take shade 1. and put it all over the lid, then I blend it out as much as I can. Sometimes, when I use too much shadow and I’m having a hard time blending, I like to take the first shade in the palette, that white/translucent color, and use it to help blend out the edges. Then I take shade 2. (a shimmery pinky bronze) with my finger and I apply that to the center of the lid for that beautiful pop! Unfortunately, the shimmers in this palette don’t come out with that wet effect that I would like, but it’s the best that I have for now. Finally, I take a smaller brush and apply shade 3. (a very light gold) in the inner cor...

Antisocial: An experiment without social media

-
Image
  As technology evolved over the years, the ability to communicate and share our lives online became common, essential even. Nowadays, we carry some of the most important aspects of our lives in our pockets and most people would be horrified at the prospect of being a day (maybe even hours) without their phones. Some can admit social media is like an addiction to them, but most people I know (myself included) would disagree. I always thought I didn’t really need socials in my day-to-day, I only have them because I like taking pictures, checking up on my friends’ lives and that’s basically it. But lately I’ve been wondering what it would be like to not have social media at all. Would it make me more active? More depressed? That’s where the idea for an experiment came along. I decided I was going to delete all my social media from my phone for 7 days and record my thoughts and feelings about it. Are you ready?   Day 1 – No more procrastinating? I think my relationship...

My year so far

-
I've had an interesting year, so far. It started really bad, as I recieved some news that shook our entire family, followed by the end of a 4 and a half year relationship, in which I was engaged (yes, I am aware that I am 22...). For a few months after, I went on some really bad dates but I've also met some cool people, and yes, I will have some #TinderStoryTimes for you later on. I got my first car as a gift from my parents, I celebrated my 22nd birthday last month (18th of July), and somehow I got into a downward spiral that was leading me to a path of self-destruction. I didn't want to talk to anybody, I didn't want to get out of bed... My day consisted of me being in my bed all day, doing nothing until I really had to, like paying bills on the last day possible, for example... To make matters worse, I have a bad relationship with food, in which I eat a lot. I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm bored, I eat all the time. So as you can imagine, I gain...
