Local Traditions: ¡Día de Reyes!

Hello again! 

Today as you may -or may not- know, is what we call 'Día de Reyes'. A tradition that follows the steps of Santa with some variations, celebrated in México -and god knows where else!

I hope if you do celebrate it, you were lucky enough today and to every reader out there, have a lovely day!

In the meanwhile, I leave you my wishlist for the wise men.

Hola de nuevo!
 Hoy, como ustedes saben -o puede que no- es lo que conocemos como 'Día de Reyes'. Una tradición que sigue los pasos de Santa Claus con sus variaciones, celebrado en México (¡y dios sabe en donde más!).
Espero que si tú eres uno de los que lo festejan, hayas tenido suerte el día de hoy(; y en general, para todos mis lectores, ¡qué tengan un estupendo día!

Mientras, les dejo mi lista de deseos para los Reyes.

Christmas Newbies.

As many of you lovely readers out may notice, it is a busy week for the blogosphere. It has been a week since Christmas -well, nearly!- and New Year's is just about to be. Many blogs are doing their updates on their resolutions and... Christmas! Everywhere you look you'll be able to find the food, the outfits, the stories and the people.
I wish I had food pic's to share but honestly, the food didn't even last that long on the table -oops!- nor am I good at making food justice through a picture.

Anyways, I do love reading the so called 'what I got for Christmas' so... why not? Just a few snaps.

Btw, on another note... I am going crazy over the design of the blog and have been trying to make some changes. So, don't be scared.

Christmas.

Merry Christmas! I know it's been said before, perhaps too many times but I really do hope you had a great time with your family, friends or who ever you chose to spend it with. What did you do? Would you be so kind to share your Christmas with me?
I wish I had more pictures -or better quality for that matter- to share but... I only have a few pictures and loads of words.I guess that will have to do.
I spend Christmas with my family over at my aunt's house, had a traditional dinner and had some quality family time. That and I had a great opportunity to dress up but even though I did took some pictures, I couldn't find a single one that looked right which leads me to consider getting a new camera or taking classes. Or both.
However, I want to try a 'what I got for Christmas' post but It'll have to wait.

Enjoy what's left of the holidays! Later!

Home made brownies. Of course, Christmas Eve, also known as baking day. They don't look as tasty on the picture as in real life but... oh well. 

A little mexican, skull ornament? Oh yes. 

Photo-a-day Challenge. Day 7.

Hey! I know. I am so sorry. I missed a day! 

I was trying not to and... really, a day isn't so bad. I know. The real meaning of bad is today's picture. Whoops! However, I will try to give you something good for tomorrow when day 8 and 9 are going up. I really did nothing interesting, but at school we had such a beautiful view of sunset. Sadly, nor the quality of the camera, nor the editor helped. There's no way for my picture to actually show you how beautiful it was but then again, I don't think that's so bad...

It makes it special.

My photo ended up looking quite gloomy but there was no point in you seeing the buildings, the important stuff was the 'bright' sunset. I don't know how much it looks alike the other picture from a couple of days back but well... Oh well! 

How was your day? I must say, winter break is finally close! And Christmas. And nothing to do with it, Christmas shopping. Today I went to the movies and watched 'Ruby Sparks.' I liked it a lot even though it reminded me of '500 days of Summer'. 

Photo-a-day Challenge. Day 6!

So you're back! So am I to bring you another picture and a brief explanation of my day today.

I was quite comfortable today because I spent nearly the whole day at home because I only had a class today. Yes, only one!

Sorry, no complaints about that. I spent the cold morning watching the same movie all over and over again and new 'Vlogmas' videos on Youtube with a warm cup of tea. But skipping the details and straight unto...

Photo-a-day Challenge. Day 5.

Hello! Well, I am quite happy with the way today's photo turned out -hey, I remembered today's topic! Yei!.

Today's temperature. Hmm, the picture doesn't exactly explain it all. I brightened it up so it would look like it did out there, were I was sitting.

Even though it was quite sunny, I had the need to overdress all day long. I was cold in the morning and in the evening and I was freezing by night and wearing a dress had nothing to do with it. There are people who are able to wear a dress with bare legs but when it comes to... me?!

As you can see, no snow, no clouds... but I was still quite cold!

Don't let the sun fool you. 

Want to know something? I was cold not only outside but inside. I felt like a flickering candle. Like my light could fade away at any second but.... cheer up! The sun'll come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun! *sings*

I'm getting into this photo diary. I like being able to remember.

Have a wonderful day and see you for tomorrow's post! 

Photo-a-day Challenge. Day 3.

Hello! I have no idea how -well, I do- but I am updating you before school. 

The Photo-a-day challenge has been going... slow. I know, sorry. Oops! 

You're still getting day two, later today -I hope!- but we can pretty much forget about Day 1. The First Day of December was quite boring, spent doing laundry and feeling sick -flu, you know? It surprises no one on cold days. 

Today, day 3 is all about my new Cd. Taylor's newest album, RED ♥ which I received Nov. 24!  Fits perfectly the description! And I apologize for the poor quality of the picture, I hope I'll get better pictures every other day but it is easier for me just to take pictures with my cellphone. It just gets the job done. 

Anyways, I'm leaving. Have a nice day and... see you later!

By the way, are you doing a December photo challenge? Even if it's not the same, I would love to see! 

Feel free to leave your blog and I'll come round!

Welcome December!

Found here!

Hello lovely readers! Today's the very first day of Christmas! Are you excited?
Being honest... oh yes! OF COURSE I am excited!
I've been telling my friends since mid-november "It's nearly Christmas!" and well, now it's truly december so... we're on a countdown here!

I wanted to do something special, a mix between an advent calendar DIY and a Photo a Day Challenge -to remember things next year and as many to come!- in order to get into the holiday spirit.
So I found a couple of photo challenges and made up my mind to try one!

Can be found here. 

So, are you trying anything? excited for the holiday season?
Have a lovely day and read you later!

Fashion meets Disney.

Heelloo!

 It's nearly the end of November! I can't believe it! Soon enough we'll be enjoying Christmas vacations and... then it's over! -I think I'll keep saying that until the end of the year, tho. Hehe. :)

Today I bring you something that I know has been around for about a week, something I was slow to share. I know you get a lot of mixed reviews when it comes to Disney but I am a truly lover of what they're capable to create. As a studio, as a company, as a team. 

I think they're provided with opportunities and I, once again, find myself surprised by the beauty of the video, a collaboration between Barney's and Disney. 

I don't know if you've seen it already but if you haven't... be sure to give it a try!

Have a nice week!
