2018 Reflection


Not going to lie, but I'm going to miss 2018. I mean it wasn't any different from previous years it had its ups and downs, but just like every year it has its memories. 2018 was that friend that is brutally honest, get feel? If there's anything I learned in the past year is...

1. Cherish everyone in your life because you don't know when you'll see them again AND don't take advantage of one's presence or love. 
2. Having patience when it comes to trying new things. 
3. Be willing to learn and be open minded. 


Highlights of 2018
Exploring SF w/my family.
Applying for graduation.
Rekindling some friendships.
My sister's quince.
Finding a job outside of retail.
August 5th.
Vegas Trip with my friends.
Disneyland x2.
Long Beach Aquarium.  
New car.



I hope you end 2018 with a bang and wishing you the best in 2019.
Happy New Year!


Love,
Lizzeth.

2018 Christmas Wishlist

Its the holiday season and I'm late on my Christmas Wishlist. 
I'm constantly getting asked "What do you want for Christmas?" and I always say "nothing."
Now the reason why I always answer that is because, I truly don't know what I want. I mean yes there's items I want, but I would not expect people to buy them for me because that's just not the way I am. Anything I received of course I'm hella grateful for, because that means you went out of your way to get me something based of my likings or simply because you thought out of me. Whatever the reason many be, thank you. Yes, I am well aware that Christmas is a week away but I still decided to make a wishlist because these are items I am currently needing or looking for. 



1. Calvin Klein Hayden Saffiano Leather Chain Crossbody: Lately, I have been into baby/sky blue. I went into Kate Spade and wow they had an entire collection of what they call "Fade Blue" color and I was in love. Unfortunately, it was only in store because I couldn't find any online. With that being say, I found this Calvin Klein crossbody in the color "asphalt," and just wow. In reality, I'm just looking for a baby/sky blue crossbody bag from not a particular brand. 

2. Old Skool Velcro Vans: Vans are the way to my heart. It has been over a year that I have been looking for the black old skool velcro ones, and every time I check they have been sold out. To be completely honest you can never go from with any old skool shoe, although some way the velcro shoes are childish. They can bite me, NEXT. 

3. Nest: Black Tulip: I'm not much into fragrances, but Black Tulip my goodness. I used to have the travel size, but sadly I ran out. Every time I wore it I always got compliments and honestly it is by far my favorite fragrance I've tried. The smell? I cannot even explain, but I do recommend you checking it out. 

4. Glow Recipe: Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturize: I used to be into makeup HEAVY, but I slowly have been shifting more into skin care products. Every time I go into Sephora I always pump the Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturize onto my hands and it feels silky and it smells good too. My only worry is that since I have sensitive skin I don't know how I will react to scented products, but I've been wanting to try it. 

5. Urban Decay: All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray: Once again, it has nothing to do with brands, but I'm running low on setting spray and a new one wouldn't hurt.



Now that you know my wishlist, do you have your own Christmas Wishlist?




[P.S]: I know that I have been hella m.i.a. and my last post was two months ago, even though that really wasn't much. I will have a new updated blog post, because everyone loves chisme. ;) Thank you for having patience with me and thank you for following up with my posts. You are very much appreciated and I hope you're enjoying the holidays with family and loved ones. See you soon. ♥

Hora de Chisme: Summer Edition Life Update

Family and friends its been a cool minute, so you know what time it is.....
HORA DE CHISME

The last time I posted my "Hora de Chisme" was 8 months ago, November 2017 and sadly it wasn't very juicy. However not saying this post will be juicy but I will be more of an update. 

So lets summarized what's been going on:
I came out of hiatus post: I talked about how I was caught up on my life and how I was going to start working on myself.
Summer 18 Bucket List post: Besides me mentioning my bucket list I also mentioned that I was planning to take a  summer course and possibly work two jobs.

Lets talk what has happened in the past month and half.

I am currently still being caught up on my life in the way that I'm always busy doing something, (in a good way) and I'm still working on myself, (there's some progress). Now for my Summer 18 Bucket List, that has gone down the drain pretty much. Once school was over, I found myself with a whole lot of spare time; which can be a good and a bad thing. A bad thing for me and the worst part was that the hours at work began to get cut, so that meant less money. 

The last two weeks of May, I began packing for my trip back home and on my free time I binged watch Netflix: The Ranch, Dynasty, and The Office all great shows (I recommend them). From June 6th to the 11th it was spent in SoCal. In my Weekend Festivities, I talked about how fun it was because it was, but that is because I let the positive override the negative. That weekend was crazy to be completely honest. It was a mixture of my family and friends (roommates and back home friends), I will not get into details of exactly happened, but the only thing that irritated me the most was that I never got an apology of what happened that weekend. It was the most embarrassing thing ever, but at this point I don't care anymore (lesson learned). 

So when I went back home with my roommates to ME it was not the same vibes. I felt San Jose as a negative environment as soon as I went back and I knew it was not going to go well. But I knew I had to stick with it because I couldn't runaway from it, but the next day that same Tuesday I went through somethings and I wasn't emotionally stabled; which effected me right after. On June 13th, I called my mom and basically had a mental breakdown saying I did not want to be in San Jose anymore. The only thing my mom told me was, "if you want to come home you can and we can make things work if not then we'll see, but you can decided on your own and just let me know what you decided." At that moment, I was like wow, yeah I cannot go home I have a job and I'm taking a summer course and I need to pay bills. 

But Gorl! As soon as I walk into work I see the new updated schedule and hours were cut even more like HELL NAH. Hours were so cut back for me that I calculated and I would not even have enough to pay rent or I would pay rent and that was it. So, I talked to my manager and I put my two weeks in that night. Fast forward to the day I was coming home June 25th: I felt happier and more relived knowing I was in a somewhat more positive environment. I began applying to jobs and days later my uncle ended up hiring and now I work with him. Working with family and men can be something else. Work can be a pain in the ass for me because 1. I'm not used to working 40+ a week. 2. I'm not used to wake up at 5am Monday-Friday and 3. I'm not used to the heavy work. But oh how has this experience humbled me and I'm thankful for it. 

Long Story Short: I'm only working one job, no summer courses, I'm back home (The Valley) and I'm happier. 

Lets talk about my blog. 

Recently I've been going into debate on whether or not I want to continue this. I even took it to twitter and I got a lot of "Nos! and Whys?"  I love my blog although by the looks of it you can say otherwise, ha. But to be completely honest, I have no ideas. I don't feel motivated.  I don't know what to blog about anymore. I feel like the only thing I like talking about without hesitation is about 'life' but I don't want it to be a repetitive thing? I sometimes feel like my posts can be negative like "Woah, Liz are you okay?" You know ? Which is why I changed the theme of my blog months ago. It used to be La Vida De Lizzy | Beauty, Food, Reviews & Lifestyle to now just Lifestyle. And yes, before you start asking I'm fine. :) So we are still a work in progress. 

Lets talk about how the rest of the year is going to look like.

In a month I will be going back to San Jose to finish off my last year at SJSU... Real talk I am scared shitless. I know this is going to be one stressful af year I can already feel it (dramatic? I know). I will also be starting a new job (hopefully no more retail, fingers crossed). I will definitely be more busy and stress, but I'm excited. I'm also slowly learning how to budget, so let's see how that goes. There's not much to be excited about for the remaining of the year, but I'm excited, does that make sense? '
'
OOOOH I also cut my hair....okay bye for now. 



Until then, you'll hear from me soon!

Alameda County Fair

June 20, 2018. 

The Alameda County Fair has came into town and I could have not been any more excited since I have never been. I had did research before arriving to know the hours and admissions. For June 20th it was Foster Kids-Clothing Drive, so Magz and I took clothes that Apt 24 (our apt), been wanting to donate, so it got us free admission saving us $15 each. 


We explore the entire fair, so we can decide on what we wanted to do. We walked through all the rides, shops, games and food. Now this is where we made a mistake...It was $1 rides tickets. So, we assumed the tickets were a dollar so we ended up deciding on two rides which were 5 tickets each, so $10. We played ourselves. The rides were only one ticket before 5pm, so there we go going on the most rides we can before it hit 5pm since we got the tickets at 4pm. Some of those rides were crucial; we felt like we broke our necks and nauseous af! Worst feeling ever. 


Overall, it was a good time despite we felt sick for the remaining of the day. But if you have the chance to go to the Alameda County Fair, take it.
