Hey there readers! It’s been a while since I’ve last blogged, mostly because I have been busy with both of my summer classes. I have finally caught up with all the work and have time to come on here and focus on some writing. Now that I’ve explained where…
Liquid meals for a busy girl
Hello readers! So I’ve mentioned before about my night class, well I don’t have the time to eat…
Ice cream? No, I made gelato
Remember on my last postthat I made that impromptu blender purchase? Well, I read through the…
Temptation caused by store sales
I always like getting a good deal on purchases, but then again who doesn’t? This morning my sister…
Today I begin my second summer class for two days a week for the next five weeks. Did I mention before one is online and the other is on campus? A campus that happens to be 25 miles away from where I live and have to commute during rush hour traffic. Fabulous.
On a good day, it will take me about 45 minutes to get to school using the tollway (faster speed limits) and then merge on to another highway then take street roads to get there. It's a long drive y'all. So what does one do on these types of drives? Well listen to a good playlist of course. I listen to the radio, but it gets annoying listening to commercials. Also, I haven't renewed my satellite radio subscription, so that's out of the question. So I make mix CDs, thank goodness for a 6-CD car stereo. My car doesn't have those iPhone/iPod/AUX connections, so I had to find an alternative.
Here is my current mix that I compiled this morning for this afternoon's drive.
Some of the songs have some the songs do have explicit content, so if that's not for you then get the clean version. Have spotify? Listen to the playlist here along with other songs.
Random Fact: I'm one of those people that puts on a concert while their driving.
Until next time,

What a better way to spend a Saturday morning than walk/jog a 5K? It was such a fun idea when my friends and I signed up a couple of weeks ago, however, reality set it in when we realized we had to get up at 6:00am on a SATURDAY MORNING (what an ungodly hour for a weekend). It’s summer y’all, that time of the day just is not seen on weekends, seriously. Anyways, we made it to the DART Rail Station around 7:00am to get to Fair Park. It seriously took almost 2 miles of walking to just get to the starting line. When we finally started the event (Color Mob 5K) we were splattered with blue, pink, and finally yellow dye throughout the course of the race. In the end we went a little pink happy and it went everywhere as well as at the finish line where everyone was just throwing every color.
It was fun, I just wished we could have gotten the events official t-shirt for free and not had to pay for it. I mean, it was $25 with a groupon code, it would have cost $50 if it was directly from the people in-charge of the event. Regardless, I would have done it again. You get to help give money to charity, get your exercise, and have fun with friends.
The downside? I ended up looking like a smurf mixed with shades of pink and green. It took a very LONG shower to get rid of the color, and even after I still stains of green and blue on my hands and legs.
Here are some photo’s of my friends and I during the race and after.
I can’t wait to sign up for my next 5K, in the mean time I’ll be training so I can jog the complete 5K (about 3.1 miles, for those who are wondering).
Until next time,

Have you ever needed something? Such as a bandaid, hairband, hairspray, or even a lipstick and can’t find it or even have it in your handbag when you seem to need it the most?
I’m a big fan of big handbags, and I do mean BIG. I can fit everything in most of my bags and I do mean everything. I carry several pens, pencils, highlighters, a planner, my wallet, my coin purse, iPhone, iPhone charger, sunglasses, and sometimes my iPad. However, I always seem to be missing eyeglass wipes, girly stuff, translucent powder (let’s get real, I’m from Texas and the weather will get you sweating and you need to get rid of the shine), band-aids when I have cute shoes on but rub against the back if my heel and ankle, bobby pins, hair ties, hairspray for the fly aways and unexpected gust of winds that leave hair looking all kinds of wild, Advil for those unexpected headaches, and last but not least my lipstick.
Well, I finally figured how to carry all the necessary things that I always forget. Ever been to the make-up counter at department stores and buy a product and then given a cosmetic bags? I finally have a use for it! I have so many! If you ever get Clinique, Lancôme, or Estée Lauder they are notorious for giving out cosmetic bags with a purchase.
I call this my emergency kit! Everything stays in one place and I know it will be there and not floating around in my bag. Which, now that I think about it, I should really think about organizing all my pens and stuff.
Here’s what I put in my kit:
Until next time, Felipa xoxo
Happy Independence Day, y’all!
Who would have thought that we are in the last half of 2013? Time flys by so fast and everything in the first half of the year seems like a complete blur. I’m hoping the second half decides to slow down a bit. It’s my last semester in college and have spent most of my summer applying to internships to gain some experience in my Advertising and Public Relations field.
I’ve also been studying for the GRE to apply to grad school. I’m still dwelling on whether or not I decide to apply. It’s one of those things that’s still up in the air. I think it’s more of the idea that I’ll miss being in a classroom setting that makes me want to get my masters (call me a lifer I suppose); something that has been in my life for the past 15+ years. Perhaps, maybe after graduation, I can get classes to further my foreign language.
Look at me getting all sentimental of the future. :). Enough of that…
I think I’ve started of July with a healthy start. The day before yesterday I went to the grocery store and bought all sorts of healthy foods. Yesterday, I fixed myself an Egg White omelette stuffed with baby portobello mushrooms, organic baby spinach, onion, and diced red belled pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. It was utterly delicious. Here are some photos of the omelette cooking process along with the final result.
Until next time,
