Snippets

It's basically February and while other places still have snow, I can barely keep it together with this Queretaro heat. My answer is to make a refreshing drink.

So I'm not a huge oat fan but with this fabulous blend I have become an occasional fan. Mostly because you can add so many different toppings. 

SUBMISSION COMPLETE!



I worked on a new screenplay for this application. I wanted to write something on the comical side. Though, it wasn't like hysterically funny. I think it got the point across. I'm nervous but we shall see. It'll be the second application I upload. Two down, three to go.

Also, I plan to work on my YouTube channel this week. I have one too many backed up videos to edit. So hopefully after work, between yoga and eating, I'll edit little by little.

In the meantime here is a sneak peak:

I have been OBSESSED with HAIM this week. I am in love with their album. I love Danielle's voice. It has a Fleetwood Mac vibe going. Actually, the album sounds 80s in a very good way. Also, the new Bajofondo album is amazing. You guys should listen if you get a chance. I have. Non stop. It's a problem. No, not really.

Also, I've been planning and sketching out a screenplay for the University of Miami. I want to make it a comedy as the visual sample I am turning in is more dramatic. I want to send a nice dynamic, versatile portfolio.

So today, more writing, cleaning (ughhhh), and music listening.

Happy Saturday!

More on the skin care front, I usually have oily skin. I was using an apricot scrub and noticed that my skin may be oily due to over scrubbing. So I researched a bit and went out to buy some cleanser. I bought Biore. Surprisingly, I immediatly noticed a difference. As superficial as this sounds, going day in and day out with an oily face is the worst. I know I should be going natural for this, but I do need salicyilic acid in my cleansers.
Now.... onto catching up with Community, Parks, and Girls.

I officially said goodbye to shampoo today. I started my adventure into the widely talked about "No 'Poo" method to washing your hair. I've heard more great things than bad. Personally, I want to give it a try because my scalp tends to get oily very fast (as well as my face) and I want to see if doing things in a more natural or simple way helps. Once I am in the states for grad school I definitely want to play around with the Whole Foods brand or with Kiss My Face. But for now...no poo.


The method I am going for is replacing shampoo with a baking soda and water solution. 8oz of water mixed with two huge tablespoons of baking soda. You have to shake it constantly and make sure its thoroughly mixed. I bought a little bottle that stylists use to dye hair. In Queretaro, I found a little supply store so the bottle was very easy to find and cheap! For conditioner I will be using the white vineager solution. I read that that is better for oily hair. However, I still have a bit of the Suave Rosemary & Mint conditioner that I brought from home so I'll use that on my tips, not scalp, while I finish it.

 So I washed my hair today-I usually shower at night-and I have to say, my hair feels gooooood! It feels very clean and light. It was also surprisingly easy to brush through. I totally didn't expect it and did a double take. We'll see how I wake up in the morning! I do have to say I am loving how it feels.


These pictures show how my hair looks about a half hour after my shower.

Grandma and I on the plane! Summer 2013!

So I know its not in my best interest to not post continuously but I had a lot of family stuff to take care of. Fortunately, I'm happy to say that my grandma is back home, safe and sound, and on her way to a full recovery. At a stunning 82 years old she's doing great. I called her my little fighter the other day. And she is. If I look back at all shes gone through, she's one hell of a woman.


Anyway, I'm happy to be back. Today felt great. Well, to be honest, work was a bit slow but it is Monday.

So sorry for not posting for a bit, I am back to our regularly scheduled programming.

(I should make a schedule)
