So, I'm probably the only person that feels this way, but 2016 was an utterly amazing year! Last year I finished my career, I got an amazing job, I started many projects and much more. But this year, oh, this year I grew! I have pushed myself, worked hard, got an amazing job, started my postgraduate studies, got my bachelor's degree and much more! I had never been so exited and certain that I am definitely not the same person I was in January 2016. I started a new life routine, I learnt how to drive (In Venezuela, driving is absolutely crazy and if you manage to do it, you're awesome!), I made amazing life plans (Some of which I can't really share right now) and I continue to move toward my future at a breathtaking speed. 

This was a year of knowing who supports me, who thinks I have what it takes and who cares for me. I've met amazing new people at my new job and at college; and I've learnt something valuable from each and every single one of them. I've also had new and exiting experiences, and I've learnt a bit more about how this "Adult" thing works. I am very very happy because I've definitely taken advantage of every little thing in my life to learn and grow. 

I'd like to give my soon-to-be husband some well deserved appreciation. Without him, I probably wouldn't have been able to do any of the things I did this year. He has been exceedingly patient, kind and supportive; and he's the main reason I managed to balance a certification, my Ph.D., my Master's degree, work and my personal life. So honey, if you're reading this, thank you!

Also, I want to thank my family, my mom, my dad, MJ, Laura and Josi. If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't have found my way in life. For that and much more, thank you!

I hope you guys and dolls have an amazing new year. Take the time to learn, play, be awesome, work toward your goals and stay foolish.

Hi guys and dolls! I'm so glad to be back! So, I finally got around to making this year's book list and reviews. I have been awfully busy lately but I have had some time to read (Thank God!). You can check out my previous book lists by clicking the following links: 2014 book list & reviews and 2015 book list & reviews. So, without further ado, here's my book list for this year!

Books

Audiobooks

1. Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas: You guys know I LOOOOVE Lisa Kleypas' novels! This year I couldn't read any but I had the chance to listen to an audiobook and Oh, it was good... People, check out her books! They are suuuuper romantic!
   

Hi guys! How have you all been? I haven't had time to post anything on the blog lately, but I decided I would try to do so at least on fridays. My last post on the blog was the first of a series of work attire. Today I'm sharing with you some beautiful dresses that are just perfect for a formal, professional environment. Now, many of you might think dresses are a bit of a hassle, but not at all! Truth is, they are very practical. Depending on the dress you can go for subtle accesories, or you could use something that captures peoples' attention. You can save up a lot of time given that you just put the dress on, the heels or ballerinas, and you're pretty much good to go. They are a good option for meetings and working with clients, since dresses are so elegant and classy. I wouldn't say they're a daily option, but they are something you can wear when you're a bit short on time and want to look effortlessly elegant. Today's post is a tad short given that I've got little time, but perhaps I'll edit it later and add some tips on hwo to wear them and accesorize. 

If you want to see some more of my dresses you can check out my boards at Pinterest by clicking here Veggie Blogger and get to know a little more of all of the other things I like. Stay awesome!

Hi guys and dolls! Here I am again, posting from the office before I get to work. I just found this beautiful image and I wanted to share it over here. For some reason, when most of us grow up and start getting new responsibilities, we feel the need to find someone or something that gives us some sort of instruction or tells us where to go or what to do. I hadn't found something that really made me find my own path until I read Max Ehrmann's Desiderata. It made me think about how I look and direct my life, and it sort of gave me a few rules to live by, sort of like a dogma. I chose that poem as my personal motivation trigger given that it aligns with my character and my way of life.

I really like things that somehow aim for personal and spiritual growth, so I wanted to share this image. I feel like it's important for every single person to take a look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves "Am I living my life in a way that makes me feel good?", "How do people feel around me?", "Am I helping others?", "Am I happy?". As a Lawyer, I try to keep my actions and my way of thinking in line, acting with integrity and honesty. I hope you liked this little image and find some food for thought in it. 

Hi guys and dolls! So today I'm gonna keep talking a bit about last week's wedding wednesday topic, wedding nails! I love light wedding nails, but who says you can't make a statement on your wedding day? You can go for different designs, maybe even go for gel nails or dark colors. It all depends on how you wear them and style them, remember that you can make a statement without going over the top. As you can see in some of the pictures in this post, statement nails can really capture attention in a really awesome way without looking tacky.

Hi guys and dolls! Wedding Wednesdays are back (YAAASSS!). Today I'm going to talk about wedding nails. I am the kind of girl that thinks that the more natural, the better, so when it comes down to wedding issues, I think the same way.

I  love the way beige and light pinks look on brides' nails. They look clean, sophisticated, romantic and very elegant. They also look amazing paired with some shiny or glittely element too, just because it gives them a sublte but festive look.

I've gotten a bunch of pictures from Pinterest (As usual) so you guys can see what I mean. There are some plain nude beige nails, some pink, some white, and most of them with some shiny or glittery nail polish or decoration.

While looking for pictures to illustrate what I mean I came across some very beautiful wedding nails that were actually very colorful. So, next Wedding Wednesday I'm going to show you some of those!

Which of these nail looks are your favorites?

Did you guys like this post? Would you wear any of these looks for your wedding? Let me know in the comment section! Stay awesome!
