Mother - daughter questionnaire!

Hi everyone!
Most of you already know my mom Marili. Maybe from the Spain vlogs or just from my SNS. We thought it'd be a good idea to make some blogs together so we decided to go for a tag thingy since we were running out of time and had so much to do before her trip back to Spain.
I was going through so many tags online to see if we liked them but we ended up mixing two together and adding a few questions of our own.

Here we go!

1. What makes her happy?
MOM:She is happy when the family is reunited... Having lovely moments, shopping! Hahaha like me!
Me: It makes her happy to be with the ones she love, spending some nice time having a good cup of coffee and good conversations and...shopping!

2. What makes her sad?
MOM: When the family is separated...The divorce was a bad moment for all of us... When her grandma died, they loved each other so much, When someone she loves dissapoints her.
Me: Being away from the people she loves~ I know goodbyes are something that always make us sad and I also think when someone she loves or care about is sad makes her sad too.

3. What was she like as a child?
MOM: She was a beautiful baby!  Loved, spoiled...lovely to everyone. Super smart, and so is now <3 (what happened now?! LOL)
Me: From what I've seen and heard, she was a super cute baby with curly hair, spoiled enough to have her own room at 1 year old. Since she was the only girl with two brothers, she was adventurous!

baby Mom

baby Mon!

4. What is her favorite thing to do?
MOM: well, so many things... blogging and stuff like that, traveling. She likes to sing and dance. Shopping... all about fashion and cosmetics, collecting lipsticks and has a massive nail polish collection hahah...overdoses I think, hahaha 
Me: I'd say shopping, singing (she's pretty good at it) Everything related to music. I wonder if taking care of herself can be included here too? Having a good cup of coffee~ Oh! and reading fashion magazines.

5. What does she do when you're not around?
MOM: Dance, wear my clothes....she likes to go to the movies, read blogs, videos, sing, listen to korean music...she likes to make desserts and to eat them too. Ah!! And change the color of her hair... (That color thing only happened like twice!)
Me: I've noticed she likes to try my clothes when I'm gone! Something she used to do a lot when I was away on vacation was to cut her hair, get a perm...something hair related! it was always a surprise lol.

8. What is she NOT good at?
MOM: she is not good with cleaning the house... haha she doesn't like at all. Ah!! and cooking, she likes to cook strange meals and experiments with food; sometimes so good, but sometimes,  when we ask: Who cooked today? And we find out Mon did...oh noooooooooooooooooo!!  hahaha
Me: Drawing! LOL. I remember she used to draw Disney's characters following tutorials on TV and well, they were...unique!

A heart full of love, a girl full of dreams. With a great determinated character and strong to fight with life and its problems!! Oh I  love her!! What can I say?? I could go on...writing and writing!!
Me: You know how you always feel proud of your parents just because they are your parents? I think somehow that changes with time, especially now that I'm older and can understand them better.
I'm proud of her because she is a strong woman. Someone who fights for her dreams and her happiness, without forgetting about the people she loves. She's caring and loving but she can also standto defend her loved ones when it's needed. I'm also proud of her (and thankful) for raising me they way she did, because that is what made me who I am today.

15. How do you know I love you?
MOM: Cause...we are lovely and we really love each other, cause we care about the other sharing every moment in our life. I began to love her before she was born.
Me: I guess we just know we love each other by always showing support, experiences and just being there celebrating the goods and staying strong through the bads. In the end, I've realized that if someone won't leave you alone no matter what, that's your parents.

A mother - daughter post~!

New year, new beginning! Goodbye 2016!

Wow! The year is over! How was it for you guys?
To me, it was a year where I finally started healing, putting some things together and realizing that even if things won't ever be the way they used to or I'd like, it is ok.
This year I tried to dare to do things I wouldn't normally do and...somehow I kinda did. Not many tho and some of them were not such great ideas but in the end I learned from that. I thought pushing myself to do things could make me get used to them but that is not how it works.
Yes I cried, I laughed, I screwed up but I also feel like I grew in many ways. I'm still in the process of finding many things, including my happiness but, I have so many plans for next year so yeah, I'm excited!
I do regret a few things I did during this year but in the end they are all experiences that I think I had to go through to realize others.
I can tell I am slowly going back to be the person I was before, and I'm happy about that. There is still so much to work on but hey, it's never too late.

Changes kept coming but I think I've been adjusting a lot better, I feel a little more independent and not-so needy anymore. Now I know I can't rush things, whatever has to come will come when it's the right time.
And I know it wouldn't be the same without all the people that came to my life (even if it was for a short period of time), those who have always been there, those who came back and the ones who came to stay! I keep learning so much from you all and it's been awesome to have such loving a supporting people around me. This year I became closer to some people, became stronger thanks to others and once again proved that family is not only blood related.

And...I'm not sharing a list of resolutions this year, I do have a to-do list tho. And I'm hoping to check them all as done byt the time 2017 is over.

All I can say now is, I wish you the best for this new year, lots of love, work, health and all you wish for. But especially happiness! Because when you feel happy, all the rest comes on its own so yeah, shine bright and smile big!

                           

Christmas update + My Christmas pressies 2016! 🎅

Hello my loves!

It is that time of the year again and I gotta say that even tho I was sad for having to say goodbye to my mom (who left to Spain on the 24th) I can honestly say this Christmas was a lot better than last years. One week before mom left we had a few Holiday reunions with friends and family to celebrate. The week literally flew by! Then on the actual Christmas Eve, we had a quick stop by my hometown to spend the Holidays there. Such a nice and lovely meeting! Thank you all for having us over, we had such a great time.

Then I had some other celebrations with my friends back home. I keep eating and drinking! LOL. Not complaining tho.

I been having happier days this year than my last Christmas. ♥

I finally had the time to start organizing all the mess I have and take some pics of my gifts before putting everything where it belongs.

So yeah, you all know I usually share with you my pressies so, here we go!

FLORMAR Mystical Getaway

Hello loves!
An other Turkish nail polish is here and I'm absolutely loving this color for the Fall season!

This time is the Mystical Getaway (FC29) which is a beautiful deep purple, kinda plum-ish.
With this one, I had to apply 3 coats to get a deep color as it looks in the bottle. Maybe because it is a darker shade than the others I've used.

Just like I did with Imaginary World, I'm matching it with the "Silver Crystals" from Avon.

And this is what's currently on my nails right now.

November Favorites 2016 (｡’▽’｡)♡

Hello darlings!
I want to finish this year sharing with you all my favorites for these next 2 months (even tho I did
skip many this year as well~)
I'm still thinking if I should go for a Christmas faves or just December faves~~~ What to do?
Anyway, let's take a look at my November faves!

I've been buying a lot of makeup and skin care products this month, I haven't had the chance to try them all but here are a few I've been loving.

♥ Makeup and Beauty
This first product has been a favorite for over a month now but I coudn't share much about it before. So now it's the time to talk about it! It is the Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser and I have to say, it is a great, great product. At first I had my doubts because it says it doesn't contain any soap so I thought it wouldn't cleanse my skin properly but as I've been using it, I can say I'm completely amazed! It removes my makeup perfectly, leaving my face super clean.

Maybelline ColorSensational in Burgundy blush has been my favorite lippie for the fall! It is my first time daring to wear such a strong color against my super pale skin.

Next are the blushes I got from Kleancolor. The yare the Ms Chick Universally Flattering Flush Blush (deffo flattering!) Even tho I recently got them, I've been using them everyday. I love them because they are super pigmented and adorable! So far I have 2. Rose (2087) and Apricot (2091) And yeah...I'm definitely going to buy more!

I did my aunt's makeup a while ago and I /loved/ the brow pencil she was using. A week later she gave me one as a gift. I've mentioned before how much I like to experiment with brow products and this one is one of my favorites at the moment. It's called NITRO 24H Eyebrow pencil. It doesn't say the color but I'm thinking it's a medium/light one. It matches my brow color but also looks good on blonde brows (aunt is a blonde) One side has the pencil and the other ne has a little brush.

Flormar Nail polishes are on top in nail polish list right now. They have super pretty colors, and durability is fair enough. I even bought some to send to my little sissy Airi. (she's a nail polish lover, too!)

♥ Clothes
Mom and I just discovered a new Turkish clothing bran called KOTON. I only own two pieces of this brands but I'm already loving it! They have the cutest winter stuff at the moment. Since I liked it so much, I've been doing some research on what else they have. If you feel curious, make sure to check their site http://www.koton.com/en/

♥ Shows
Along with my recent Turkish obsession (that happened without me noticing...) here comes a Turkish drama I've been totally obsessed with. Sila.
Mom started watching it with my aunt, and after watching only I few episodes, I got engaged with it. Since I'm completely new to their culture everything looks so interesting and different, plus, the story is new to the Korean dramas I'm so used to. I'd say this has been my favorite show at the moment. I'm still not done with it tho.

And that show leads me to my favorite man at the moment. Mehmet Akif Alakurt (wanna guess? YES! He's Turkish!) who plays the leading male role on Sila. SO.HOT!

And that is it for this month! Still a lot of makeup to try so hopefully they will make it to the next month's favorites!
