WHAT IM LEAVING BEHIND IN 2014..

2014 for me has been filled with a bunch of ups and downs.  Some moments, I was able to overcome some great hurdles and other moments I felt I didn't accomplish much.But it's all about the end result right? I'm leaving the past in the past and focusing on some new things this year! Here are 3 things I'm leaving behind in 2014 and 3 things I'm looking forward to in this fabulous new year!

5 DUMB QUESTIONS THAT I PONDER ABOUT SOMETIMES..

WARNING: These questions are extremely dumb and do not make any sense whatsoever. You might lose valuable brain cells from reading this post. READ WITH CAUTION. 

Everyone has their ditsy blond moments, some more than others in my case :) I've compiled a list of questions that I ponder about sometimes and that are worthy of labeling me a true airhead! I'M DITSY SOMETIMES & I'M PROUD !

#1.) Why is tuna called "Chicken Of The Sea"?

Jessica Simpson was right! I understand that it's great for marketing and to get people who are anti-pescatarians to try some fish, but why name it chicken if it's nothing close to chicken? Just call it what it is and sell it!

TMI TAG.

1: What are you wearing? My jammies.
2: Ever been in love? Nope.
3: Ever had a terrible breakup? Nope.
4: How tall are you? 5'10
5: How much do you weigh? about 150, not sure.
6: Any tattoos? Nope.
7: Any piercings? Just my ears.
8: OTP? ?? What is this?

10: Favorite bands? Coldplay, hands down.

IM NOT JUST A FASHION/BEAUTY BLOGGER.

I just wanted to write this post because I wanted to clarify what my blog is about. I'm not a beauty guru and I'm not a how-to DIY internet queen. I feel like the main message of my blog has sort-of been misconstrued somehow along the way and I'm going to clear that all up today. But to do that, I need to give some background on how SpiceAdviceXO came about, so here goes nothing :)

Soo, I don't have any social networks because I kind of always felt like I never had much to say or that if I did say something, it wouldn't be valued. That's kind of been my life. Being the youngest, sometimes you feel like your thoughts and feelings aren't valued as much as you would like them to be and unfortunately for me, those feelings latched on to me and stayed for what feels like an eternity. Those feelings have affected almost every aspect of my life. At one point, it felt like it was physically debilitating and was just ruining me.

5 THINGS I LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT MYSELF...

Hey guys, today I wanted to do a personal post and just lay it all out on the table.It's definitely a 180 from what I usually post, but I wanted to switch it up a bit today. I like to be as raw and honest as I can with myself, so today, I've decided to compile a list of the top 5 things that I like and dislike about myself. This is usually something that I'll write in my personal journal but , I've decided to grow a pair today and post it up on my blog. It's another place where I can be able to express myself, and let loose without feeling any judgement, and if I can influence one of you guys to take a hard and honest look at yourself, then it'll be all worth it. So with that being said, here's my list of things that I like and dislike about myself.

The Liebster Award.

Soooo, I have been nominated to do The Liebster Award by my lovely fellow blogger StardustBohemian :) It's an eleven question survey with questions written by the person who nominated you and I'm so excited to do this! The Liebster Award is a great opportunity for up and coming bloggers to further express themselves and share a little more with their readers. So with that being said, LET'S GET STARTED! :)

5 THINGS ABOUT MOI.

#1 KINDERGARTEN ME (middle) : BABY FASHIONISTA :)

MY MINI-VACATION IN DR!

Last minute, I decided to go on a trip to The Dominican Republic in a desperate attempt to salvage what was left of my summer break (I'll explain in another post) I also had to go to settle some personal things,but it was mostly to enjoy myself for a few weeks and lay around in the hot tropical sun!! I'm not a photographer nor am I trying to be and I usually try to avoid pictures at all costs, but I've realized the importance of photos and capturing wonderful lasting memories.Here are a few photos of my lovely vacation :)

Hope you enjoy!!

A Poem From My Journal.

Brave Sweet Rain.

Coming down at the speed of light, going in the same direction.
Not fearful of hitting the cold, hard pavement.
I wish I could be brave , just like the brave sweet rain.

MY TOP 3 GUILTY PLEASURES & MY 3 NEW HEALTHIER SUBSTITUTES :)

Guilty pleasures, unfortunately everyone has them. How can something so bad feel so right? Luckily, I've got a solution for a few. Here are my top 3 guilty pleasures and my 3 healthier new substitutes/solutions, you can thank me later :)


1.) ICECREAM !!!

Who doesn't like a sweet treat sometimes? Whether your sad or happy, icecream is suitable for any occasion. This sweet delight just has the magical ability to make you feel good!! But unfortunately, it's not good for your body. It's OK to gorge on icecream sometimes but take a break once in a while. If your sweet tooth is still screaming for more instead try:

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,IT'S TRUE.

Currently on repeat, Thank you James Blunt. :)

JUST SOME OL' MEMORIES.

i'M SO GEEKD.

A POEM FROM MY JOURNAL.

Forms of life


Flowers are in full bloom as their pollen travels in the air like mystical dust,
Enticing the humming bees to drink out of their sweet,milky nectar.
Happy to be alive, and be a part of life itself.

Trees are swaying back and forth
In the soft blowing winds.
Happy to be alive, and be a part of life itself.

The sound of kids laughing in the distance
As they grab their single dollars out of their pockets
Racing to the nearest ice cream stand.
Happy to be alive,and be a part of life itself.

The old wrinkled face peered out of the window with tired eyes.
Wrinkled hands clutching the arm rests on the sides of her rocking chair.
As she closed her eyes and the wind caressed her face,
She drifted to sleep with a wide grin, because she was happy to be alive...and be a part of life itself.

A POEM FROM MY JOURNAL.

Tired hearts, hearts a float.
Late night hearts
And all my hopes, are sinking down a river.

Diamonds and glistening streams.
Are not at all what they seem
They're empty images , they're make-believe...
And you always seem to believe.
It's your quick escape to a dream.

SISTER,SISTERS.
