Heart-to-Heart: My dream life

Hi loves! 
Lately I've been having some of those moments when you can't help to do some thinking and dream of what you wish you had or accomplished in your life by now. Especially being the beginning of a new year, there is a lot of planning and goals to achieve.
I'm not saying that I'm not happy with where I am right now, I'm happy with my job and the chances I've had so far but there is a LOT more I want for my life in a short period of time. I know some things are worth waiting for and I need to work hard to have some others.

I've been doing some thinking~~~hehe

When I was younger, I didn't wanted to marry or have any kids but for a few years now I know for sure I want to have my own happy family. That is something that has been on my mind lately, I want to be a young wife and young mommy, I want to continue working but at the same time I want to take care of a hubby and raise my kids. I know that is something that won't happen in a blink of an eye, but I wish it could! I mean, it is not like I'm sad or something but, that is something I really, really want.

I know it's hard to plan life, when I was younger I thought I would be working and living on my own at the age of 20, when I turned 20, I realized it wasn't all that easy. Now, I do have a job I enjoy and keep learning from it but there is a lot more I want.

Sometimes I wish it was easier to accomplish everything we want, but wouldn't it be boring to have it all easy? I keep dreaming I will have that life, my own family in not a far future. (Hopefully before my 30s! Hehe)
I just keep reminding myself I need to keep dreaming and working to make those dreams become true.

I think this post is a little random but I kinda wanted to share~ hehehe
What would be your dream life at the moment?

My 10 favorite anime couples.

Hi guys!

A while ago I noticed that my "10 favorite anime girls" was one of the most read posts from this blog so, I thought you guys would enjoy a list of (some) my favorite anime couples. Even thoug some of them are not officially a couple, they do share strong bonds and obviously, a love story behind them.

Then again, it is always hard to pick only ten but I don't want to make the list way too long.
So, here we go, in no particular order:

1. Usagi & Mamoru (Sailor Moon) Some of you already know I am a big Sailor Moon fan, it was my first anime and Mamo-chan and Usagi have to be my ultimate fav couple. Even though they are so different, they are perfect for each other. They were just meant to be.

2. Haruka & Michiru (Sailor Moon) I don't know why I always include Sailor Moon twice in my lists but, yeah. They are never shown as an official couple but it is pretty obvious they have a super strong relationship and I really like that. Plus...they are too pretty to look at~~~~

3. Sousuke & Kaname (FullMetal Panic!) They are not an official couple, BUT! whatever happens between these two, shows how much they care about each other. I think the manga shows a little more of a love thing between them? I'm not sure. Haven't read it but if you've seen the anime, there sure is something between them. I wish I could see more! It is fun too see them together.

4. Kaoru & Kenshin (Samurai X / Rurouni Kenshin) Kaoru has to be the luckiest girl to have a man like Kenshin in her life, they are just too cute together.

5. Belldandy & Keiichi (Ah! My Goddess) Could this be my "Relationship goal"? LOL. Everything around them is cuteness and sweet romance~! If we ignore all the craziness about a human falling for a Goddess (or a Goddess falling for a human)

6. Ran & Shinichi (Detective Conan) Their relationship shows me how strong love can be. No matter how long you have to wait, if you know that someone is meant for you, you'll end up together eventually.

7. Rangiku & Gin (Bleach) They are not officially a couple but then again, they share strong feelings towards the other and, they have a very special place in my heart~

8. Chrno & Rosette (Chrno Crusade) A nun and a demon! The perfect match! kkkk. I know it doesn't sound too cute but these two are the cutest! They also share a strong bond because their lives are connected in a very special way. I don't want to talk much about that cuz I don't want to spoil it to those who haven't seen the anime.

9. Kaji & Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion) Ok, I know some may think they are not a perfect couple, and I know they are not! But somehow I love the relationship they had, and have. They are both complicated people and even though Misato swears she doesn't love him anymore, it's pretty obvious she does. And yeah, Kaji has this charm that can't be resisted~~~

10. Winry & Edward (FullMetal Alchemist) I loved them together before "FMA Brotherhood" (which I haven't finish watching) but I've heard there is a bit bit more romance in there. Deffo should check it out!

And, this is it! 10 of my favs! Hope you guys liked them, if you guys would like to read more anime related posts, please let me know and I'll be glad to put them together!!

Haul: Forever 21 (Collab with my sis and my friend Keisha)

Hi hi loves!
We just made our first shopping of the year!

Honestly, I heard a lot about Forever 21 in the past but never actually went to the store. Last weekend my good friend Keisha took me there to check around and maybe buy something.
I went crazy with all the cute things they have and their good prices!!! We convinced my sister to take a look and she end up buying a few things too. Since we didn't bought many pieces and it was the 1st shopping there for the 3 of us we kinda decided to include everything in this post. Like a mini collaboration.

Let's take a look at what I bought:

♥ Fake black leather layered skirt. I kinda needed a black skirt and I feel for this one as soon as I saw it. It's really cute and goes with pretty much everything.

♥ Big cozy layered sweater. (Matching my friend's one but in a beige/pink-ish color) What I liked about thisone is how it looks as if you had a shirt underneath it without wearing too many layers.

♥ Sushi socks. This was a last minute thing! I saw them when I was about to pay. They are super funny and cute. Especially for a sushi lover like me.
♥ Beige high socks. Can't wait to wear them with a skirt and boots! Hehe.

That's it, that's all I bought. Now, let's see what my girl Keisha bought:

♥ Aqua long sweater: The cutest color ever!

♥ Big cozy layered sweater. (black version) She already wore it and says it is super comfortable and warm.

And now, my sister's! We don't usually see her super excited doing some shopping so, this was something big! hehe

♥ Two pairs of jeans. (a gray and a blue one) She's actually wearing the blue pair right now so I couldn't include them in the pic.

♥ Black and gray baggy pants: they look so cool and comfy.

And this is it from our first visit to Forever 21, a lot to see, and a lot to buy! So, expect more Forever 21 hauls in the future!

My December Favorites ☃

Hi sweets and hello to a brand new year! 2015 is here and a new year always feels like a new start for me. 
I did tried my best to share "favorites" every month but I think I skipped a few months because of work and stuff. So, since I missed the November favs, I have some stuff to show from the last two months.

Ok, let's start!

I'll start with some makeup and beauty products. Not too long ago, I started buying a few Arabela products because one of my friends was selling them but I have to admit I was very dissapointed on most of the things I bought, The one think I really, really liked was this Lipstick from "Arabela Trendy" in the color Impulsive (K1484) which is a beautiful pink/orange-ish color. I used it a lot on November. I know it'd be more like a Spring or Summer color but, I didn't cared much about that. It is super long lasting! Honestly, I didn't bought anything else from Arabela after that but, I'm glad I bought that lipstick. Another lipstick (or crayon) I absolutely loved this month is the Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon in "Striking Rose" (25571) It is just super pretty, super pigmented and it smells so good!

Kiotis was another brand I discovered this last two months andone of the things I've been liking the most is the Kiotis Paris Pavan'elle Specific Intensive Facial Treatment which helps to reduce and prevent wrinkles. I've been using it for like two months every night and I've noticed the expression lines on my forehead are not as strong as they used to be. Also, it is good to prevent wrinkles from a young age. It has been gentle to my skin and didn't caused me any break out so, yay!
Also from Kiotis, I found the perfect brow pencil for me at the moment. It's the Kiotis Colors Brow Pencil in "COFFEE". It works well with my actual brow color without makeing my browslook too intense, it blends well and is long lasting. The pencil comes with two sides, one it the actual pencil and on the other side it has a small sponge to blend the color.

For more info about Oriflame and Kiotis, I have some links in my latest Haul.←

Speaking of skin care, my mom and sister recommended (and pretty much gave me) the "Teatrical" cream to try, and since then I've been loving it. Mom told me grandma used this cream along with others and I know for sure she had the most beautiful skin ever, even at her 80's so, why not trying!
The smell is really good, it keeps my skin hydrated without making it feel or look oily. It contains mother cells and gives elasticity to your skin. If you compare it with the Garnier one I was using before, it's worth paying a little more money for a lot more product (contains 400g) and great results.

My passion for nail polishes came back this month when I discovered Kim Taylor Premium Nail Lacquer, I already own a few of their pretty and unique colors and I'm planning on buying more. The durability is pretty decent for a good price.

From left to right: (KT.35) Cookie Mint, (KT32) Carnival, (KT.23 Sweet Pink) and (KT.13) Strawberry.

I think that is it for makeup and beauty.

My favorites always come with a bit of everyething so, here come the random favorites of the month!

My Kim Hyun Joong pillow!
Ok, it may be a little creepy for some people but, I am obssesed with the guy! Can you blame me?! I had to buy it as soon as I saw it. It is my only chance of...hugging him! Ok...yeah~ maybe I am a little creepy...

Two movies I LOVED this month are: Big Hero 6 and The Babadook. I wanted to watch Big Hero 6 since I heard of it but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I got the chance to actually watch it. It was just too great! I am obsessing over Baymax now! And, The Babadook is actually a horror movie that I think was based on a book. I'm not sure. Anyways, even though it is not super scary and I wasn't too pleased with the end, it catches your attention until the end. Deffo recommend it if you like horror movies.

I can't have a favorites list without including some yummies.
Earlier this month I bought Choco-mint Pocky which became my favorties right away! Choco-mint has to be one of my favorite mix ever, and fining them was a big yay for me.

I also have been including yogurt to my everyday diet. Sometimes as a healthy snack or part of my everyday school lunch and I have to say I feel pretty good since I started drinking it more often.

And...I think that is it! (for now) I hope this year comes with great things to all of you!!
