Not sure if anyone still reads this thing but I miss blogging and I have made some changes recently. First and foremost, I am now living in beautiful Miami, Florida after living in New York for eight years. For the past two years I have been yearning to leave the city and move to a more laid back part of the country. I will always hold my memories of New York close to my heart, dearly. Aside from my mama, I have to say New York has a significant part in me being the kind of woman I am today. Also, I am already missing Milk’s birthday cake milkshakes terribly. #SendSisig

Reading past posts from god knows when (9-10 years ago?) it’s crazy how innocent and unrealisitically ambitious I was before real life kicked in (life after college). I figured since this blog has documented my move from Jersey to New York and everything that happened while adjusting, to bring it back here - where I first started. For the past year I have been itching to get back to blogging but I’ve been hesitant since the internet feels so BIG to me these days. Revamping the site and coming up with content is a job within itself. I have so many ideas, yet I don’t know where to start! So any content ideas, pass ‘em my way okay?

Leaving NY as allowed me to finally get my own one bedroom apartment and I could not be any happier! Can’t believe I’m saying this, but Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are one of my many happy places these days (after turning 25.. last year lol) I cannot wait to get my place at 100% and take photos for you guys. If you follow me on Instagram, I’ve been showing peeks here and there and I’ve been receiving so much support with the move. It’s been a great learning experience relocating on my own and playing with colors and textures.

Another thing I’d like to talk about on this blog is my fitness journey. I was struggling with depression 2-3 years ago and I started going to the gym and I must say it’s been an amazing adventure. It’s more than just about getting in shape, it’s really about focusing and building yourself up spiritually and physically. Committing to yourself and being the best version of yourself to yourself and to everyone around you. I also hope to share some of my favorite healthy & cheat meals with you!

Fashion will always have an influence on this blog since it has always been a passion of mine and is the main reason why I started this site. However, growing up, paying bills and balancing a social life I must say I am trying to not spend so much on clothes and save up more for experiences and traveling. In the past year, I’ve been able to travel to Denver (Colorado) and San Diego, Palm Springs (for COACHELLA) & LA (California) and my last trip outside the states was Mexico probably in 2013? Traveling is a much more extraordinary (and expensive) experience and I can’t wait to do more! 

Falling in love with you was a dream come true. 

Scared at first, because you can’t trust reality if this is really happening but after a while it’s like feeling like you’re walking on clouds.. every. single. day. High and mighty, but still remembering you’re 1,000 feet above sea level and that fall HAS to hurt. Then one random walk around these clouds you trip on a stone and fall off. 

 "How did this happen? How do I make it stop? What do I do now?"

During this fall, do you just accept it and wait to just hit the ground? My temple gets tight. My chest collapses. I feel my heart as if it's in my hands; moments before it's about to break. Then, unexpectedly, my heart drops into an abyss of emptiness. I always feel this drop. My chest always hurts. 

I still have yet to feel my heart come back to me. I haven't been the same since. We haven't been the same since. 

The death of the man of my dreams. The death of my best friend. The birth of insecurities and all of a sudden you’re just another acquaintance.
