On Days Like This…

Hello! Happy Monday!

I’m thinking everyone is having a great Monday since it’s a holiday! haha I will be doing some work but also enjoying the day with a family bbq 🙂

These pictures are from Friday. The day was beautiful and I made some yummy oatmeal (brown sugar + maple syrup) with peach and kiwi. I normally eat oatmeal with peach because I like how sweet it tastes but I had some kiwi at home and decided to add it this time; it turned out to taste really delicious since the kiwi brings some tropical flavor to it. Very refreshing!

Hola!!

Es lunes pero es un dia feriado aqui en USA entonces supongo que casi todos estan teniendo un suuuper lunes! Yo voy a trabaja un poquito y disfrutar de un bbq en familia.

Estas fotos son del Viernes, el dia estaba super lindo y hice una avena super rica. La avena tiene azucar morena y miel. Casi siempre como mi avena con durazno pero estaba vez le anadi kiwi. No sabia como iba a quedar pero me encanto la verdad porque el kiwi tiene un sabor como tropical que es super refrescante.

How do you take your Oatmeal?

Como preparan su Avena?

Yesterday’s Look, Today’s Post

Hi everyone!

Nothing too special today. I wore this yesterday for a meeting. I went to the meeting, worked a little on Androbel, met up with Luis then with my sister and mom and then finally came home. I don’t know why but I love the feeling of coming home or just being at home; I feel cozy and safe… not that I’m not safe anywhere else but, when I’m home I’m calm.

Hope your weekend is fun, fun!!

Holaaa!

La entrada de hoy no es muy especial. Me puse esto ayer para ir a una mini reunion y despues me encontre con Luis y luego con mi mami y hermana y al suuper final devuelta a casa. No se porque pero me encanta estar en casa. Me gusta despertarme y estar aqui o despues de un largo dia… llegar a la casa me calma demasiado.

Bueno, espero que tengan un suuuper fin de semana!!

Who do you miss?

Hello.
So, I wanted to write about the 5 days I spent in Burlington.
3 friends went to visit 1 friend. I have always known we were different but during this trip, I realized how different we are. 4 friends all with different passions and interests. It’s funny how things work, right? When we are younger we are attracted to people we think are similar to us but, years go by and everything changes. Sometimes we don’t notice how everything has changed until we stop and take a look around.
During this trip, I was able to see that. I didn’t really do any work stuff. I was just enjoying my time. One of my friends is a teacher, the other one is a psychologist, the other one is an environmentalist and I’m a business person. We visited my friends’ school(the environmentalist) and it was so cool to see everything in real life. It’s amazing to me how people can have such a deep interest in the well being of the environment. I do care about the environment but I don’t surround my world around it. Maybe I should. I dont know. Anyway, it was amazing to see how we are all different but how we are all interested in each others’ stuff, even if they are not that interesting to us personally. I think that is what friendship is all about. We probably don’t understand in each other 100% when we talk about daily lives but we do connect in such an emotional level. It’s magical.

I encourage everyone to take a look at your lives today. What are you missing? But most importantly, Who are you missing? Do you miss the way things used to be? Do you miss talking to them? Being interested in the same things? Well, maybe things won’t ever be the same, same but true friendships never go to waste. My best friend lives in what we can call a “hippie” city. I read fashion blogs everyday. We grow but our hearts remain the same. Don’t ever let go of the people that shaped you, they are all you’ve got. The rest…comes and goes.

Maybe tonight I’ll have a drink in the name of friendship. You should too.

Burlington OOTD

<br
Hi everyone!
This week as you can see it's all about Burlington 🙂 I was there for 5 days and wasn't really into taking outfit pictures since I was having fun and enjoying my friends but, we went to the Farmers Market on Saturday and my friend Laura took these pictures after I found some green juice 🙂 it's simple but I like the colors. Black shorts, red top, red converse, colorful scarf.
Anyway, hope you are having a great Wednesday!! For more pictures from Burlington, go to my instagram @androbel

A Day in Burlington

Hi everyone!

If you saw my last post here, you know I’m in Vermont. I came to visit my best friend with some girlfriends and it has been great. I knew there was a lake and I knew there was mountains but I never imagined it to be this beautiful.

A day in Burlington includes: yummy breakfast, a morning hike or a morning biking session, yummy lunch, a stroll around downtown with a coffee in hand, a nap and a dinner followed with drinks. So, days in Burlington= beautiful life.

Hola!!

Si vieron mi ultimo post aqui la semana pasada, saben que estoy en Vermont. Unas amigas y yo vinimos a visitar a una de mis mejores amigas que esta en la universidad de aca. Sabia que habia un lago y sabia que habia montanas pero nunca me  imagine que iba a ser asi de lindo.

Un dia en Burlington consiste de: un rico desayuno, un hike o montar bicicleta, almuerzo, caminar por el downtown con cafe en mano, tomar una siesta, cenar y luego ir por unos traguitos. Un dia en Burlington=Linda vida.

I hope you guys enjoy this post, if you come to Vermont, Burlington is a most!

Espero que les guste esta entrada, si vienen a Vermont paseen por Burlington!!

Have you ever been in Burlington? Alguna vez han estado en Burlington?

Life: The Beautiful World

It’s a shame when they say that it’s been done and said
They keep digging that grave let them bury their heads
There’s a kid with a dream and a sky full of stars
There’s another first kiss in the back of some car
Turn a page and write the story

Hello! It’s Tuesday, which means I post something that has to do with life. As you may know, I’m obsessed with Bon Jovi and I play his songs in my car everyday. His last cd has been in my car for about a year now and I’m not tired of it. The lyrics above are from the song ” Beautiful World”. When you listen to this song, your spirit lifts up; it’s amazing how a song can suddenly change your mood, huh?

Well, my reflection for today about the song: Everything has been thought impossible until it was achieved. Don’t get discouraged. Everyday is a new day, full of possibilities. Everyday a new kid is born, a kid with dreams. Don’t let adulthood take the kid out of you.

About the 9-5

Hello little girls! How are you today?

It’s monday and this week marks my last day at my 9-5 job. wooho!! I’m happy, I’m about to start a new part of my life or maybe I’m just finally doing what I should have done from the beginning. In December, I will be done with my MBA (hopefully) and all this time I have been working full time plus trying to start and grow my own business. Yes, I’ve kind of been killing myself. I have this thought in my mind that goes something like this ” I’m 22, I’m young, I can do it all. I don’t have any real responsibilities, I can go nights without sleeping. I can do it all.” mmmm not true. after a year and some months, I have finally accepted the fact that there is no point in doing it all if you are doing them half way or maybe doing them but not really taking it in and learning along the way. Wednesday is my last day at work and I can’t wait to finally have time to be a real student and a real business owner.

Hola Hola!! como estan??

Es lunes, y esta semana marca mi ultimo dia en mi trabajo. woohoo!! Estoy feliz, estoy apunto de comenzar otra etapa de mi vida, o quizas estoy finalmente haciendo lo que tuve que haber hecho desde el principio. Como ustedes saben, estoy por terminar mi Master y la verdad es que me estaba volviendo loca. Estudiando tiempo completo, trabajando tiempo completo y tratar de crecer mi negocio, la verdad es que es mucho. Tengo un pensamiento en mi cabeza que va algo asi: “Tengo 22 anios, soy joven, no tengo responsabilidades de verdad, no estoy cansada, lo puedo todo.” La verdad del asunto es que, quizas si lo pueda con todo, y quizas si sea joven pero no le veo al punto a tratar de hacerlo todo sin hacerlo bien o quizas hacerlo todo y no aprender en el camino. Entonces si! finalmente pude vencer ese pensamiento que tenia en mi cabeza y sere una estudiante nuevamente :).

Back to Life

Hi!

I know, I’ve been missing for a while… this entire week! Sorry 😦 If you saw on my instagram or facebook, my best friend was visiting; she lives in Switzerland right now and I see her probably once a year for a couple of says sooo… I try to spend as much time as possible with her. Last Saturday we went shopping and I wore this little dress that I’ve had for a million years. It has a zipper in the middle so it makes it easy to try things on. When I go shopping, I wear a big, comfy purse so that I can just throw it over my shoulder and I have free hands!

Well, bestie left on tuesday and I catched up with school work and now I’m catching up with blog work 🙂

Hola!

Si, lo se… he estado super perdida esta semana en el blog pero si siguen mi instagram o facebook, creo que sabian que mi mejor amiga estuvo aqui visitandome, no pude coordinar tantas cosas. Ahorita esta viviendo en Suiza y como solo la veo un par de dias al anio, trato de pasar todo el tiempo posible con ella. El Sabado pasado estuvimos en el mall haciendo un par de compras, y este vestido me encanta para el mall porque tiene el cierre en la mitad entonces es super facil probarse cosas. Cuando voy de compras, me gusta usar bolsos grandes que solo me los cuelgo en el ombro y no tengo que tener mis manos ocupadas.

Bueno, ya mi amiga se fue el Martes y aproveche estos dias para ponerme al dia con cosas de la universidas y ahora me toca ponerme al dia con cosas del trabajo 🙂

How was your week?

Como estuvo tu semana?

Life: This is It

Happy Friday!

I said this week was going to be crazy. April has been a crazy month and it’s about to come to an end. I’m all backed up in my classes and as you can see on the blog as well. I was happy though I was able to get this post on the blog this week. I hope you guys enjoyed it 🙂

Anyway, as I was saying… I’m all backed up in school work and regular work and I have a cold but yesterday was a day full of life. Woke up later than usual, worked out, had a great breakfast, worked, took a little nap, had dinner, went to the movies, got home at 2am. I’m tired. I’m tired as I write this and my eyes hurt for staring at a computer, iphone screen every day of the week but, that’s ok. This is what it’s a ll about. Work hard, play harder, right?

Feliz Viernes!

Como les dije, esta semana iba a ser un poco loca. Abril ha sido un mes demasiado loco y la locura esta por terminarse. Estoy super atrasada en clases y como pueden ver, en el blog tambien. Aunque esta semana estuve un poco mala con el blog, estoy feliz de que pude publicar esto. Estoy super emocionada por eso, espero que les haya gustado 🙂

Pero bueno, como les iba diciendo… Estoy atrasada con trabajos de la universidad y tambien con trabajos del trabajo y tengo gripe pero ayer fue un dia lleno de vida. Me desperte un poco mas tarde de lo usual, hice ejercicio, desayune rico, trabaje, tome un mini nap, cene, fui al cine, llegue a la casa a las 2am. Estoy cansada. Estoy cansada ahora que escribo esto y mis ojos me arden de tanto ver una pantalla sea en la computadora o en mi cel pero, esta bien. De esto se trata. Trabaja duro, juega mucho mas duro, verdad?
