Radiancy: DNA♡

All of my mother's side of the family either love to cook or bake. Some like to do both. As a member of the family, I think I have some of that passion within me. I personally prefer to bake. I love desserts and chocolate and cookies and all of the junk! 

I thought to focus on food and delicious looking treats! So here are my finds for this week. I hope you guys don't get as hungry as I got when I found them. They look exquisite, to say the least! Enjoy!

Last year, I saw MacBarbie07 make these and since then I've been dying to try them out. Can't wait till Christmas!

Radiancy:Summertime Sadness♡

           Hello, Lovelies! This week I haven't posted as much as I initially did (I'm sorry!), but that's because I'm planning posts and a schedule to work around for when school starts. One thing my brain came up with while doing the planning were series. I want to be able to share things I love and find interesting with everyone else without being boring. This happens to be one of those series.
          One of my best friends helped me come up with the title of the series, "Radiancy." Every week I will post pictures of things, home decor, make-up looks, hair, travel destinations, food, etc. Each week will have a certain focus. Additionally, the post might contain thoughts or a quote.
          I also decided to add a twist to the title.The title will be followed by the name of the song I am loving at the moment. The song information will be posted at the end of the post just in case you'd like to know more about it. This is also a way for you guys to get to know me better and what I like. No more long intro, so here we go...

Should We Dream?♡

          This is probably a cliché sounding post, but I am going to share a quick thought and ask you all a couple of questions.

          I strongly believe that we should all dream. We must set goals for ourselves. We need something to strive for. Without any of these things, we don't have an actual purpose. It's hard to know exactly what you want and not everything will turn out how we want to, yet we should be grateful about this because we learn more about ourselves and learn from mistakes that we or others make.

Here's all I know about my future:

-My career must entertain people. It must make people smile. It must help people is some way.

-I want to go to college.

-I want to experience living in a different city for a year, hopefully through an internship.

-Theater and/or fashion must be involved with my job.

          These things are some of my main indivual goals. I am huge dreamer and I tend to have lots of hope. I have faith that God has a beautiful plan for me. I know everything will turn out for the best. The main thing I ask God for is patience because I lack some of that. /.\

What do you dream? What do you strongly believe? What are your passions? Is it okay to dream? Is it worth it to have goals? Why?

With Lots of Love,
Celi❤

BTS Series: Fun Notebooks♡

   http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/typo/journals/

         This past weekend I went to the mall with my mom and we decided to make a quick stop at Cotton On. Ummm...there is no such thing as a "quick stop" when going to a store. I saw these notebooks and I fell in love with them. As you can tell, I have a slight obsession with NYC and Paris. No shame! 

         I had to get one. They were just so me and I am sure they're going to keep me from falling asleep during class. But then I saw the price... Almost $7 for ONE notebook. Heck no! That's when I saw a precious little sign that said, " 4 for $10." How could I pass this amazing deal? I just couldn't. These notebooks are perfect for note-taking. I love using bight colors and highlighters so these notebooks will make it even more fun for me. They have so many designs. I'm pretty sure they have something for everyone. I posted the link below the picture so you guys would be able to check them out. I definitely recommend them. 

I don't know about you, but going back to school is bittersweet for me. I enjoy learning but I just wish that there were no projects, finals, or homework. I also wished it started way later on the day because I love my sleep. The only reason I want to go back to school is because I get to go shopping. What kind of girl would I be if I didn't enjoy it?! So I decided to start this "Back To School" (BTS) series. I will be giving my tips for studying, school fashion, beauty, ect. Stay tuned for this!

With Lots of Love,

Celi❤

Searching For Myself♡

     

          I'm laying here on my bed thinking of the perfect first post. I've been thinking about it for the last 24 hours, except when I'm sleeping of course. I came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a "perfect post." I'm just typing whatever feels right, it might not sound right, but I hope that it makes sense. 

          I am a 15 year old girl who is learning everyday. I am in a journey to find myself. I'm at that point of my high school career that I do not know what to do with my life.  All I know is that whatever I do, it has to make people happy. It has to make people smile. I want to inspire and be inspired. I was sure of this when my 8th grade theatre teacher said to me "Oh my goodness! Araceli, you inspire me." That is something I will never forget. I feel like it was one of those moments that I will always look back to and it will influenced my present.  The idea of developing a blog of my own came from YouTube. I love watching beauty gurus do their thing.  Somehow, while watching a beauty video, I ended up on a fashion blog. I became fascinated by this world creativity and beauty. I researched all sorts of blogs and I became completely infatuated by them. I wanted to be just like them! I attempted to create my own blog and YouTube channel but I failed. It wasn't me. I was not meant to be like others. I am my own person. I drifted away from the beauty blogging scene for a while. My creativity became dull and boring. Now, I don't even have amazing creative skills, therefore, the absence of blogs and such really affected my creative aspects. 

          I'm not exactly sure how but I came to the conclusion that I love blogs. I just could not be me without them. They inspire me. They make me want to do something with my life. I don't want to develop a blog about fashion and beauty. I want to deliver a blog that has a little bit of everything. I've heard so many times that you should focus on one thing, but I honestly don't approve of that rule. I have passion and love for many things and I want to be able to learn more about them. So I created this blog. I do not want to create just another blog. I do not want to be like them. I want to be like me. I don't want to tell people how to live their life or what they should love. I want to learn from others and hopefully they will be able to learn from me, too. I might be only 15 but "age is just a number." (; 

          Unlike my other failed attempts, I actually took my time developing my idea for this blog. Of course, I'm still not 100% sure where exactly I want to go but I hope that while I share my ideas with others, I will be able to learn more about where I want to go. I have so many ideas that I forgot what they are...I should start writing them down. 

          Bluntly Beautiful was the first name I thought of. I really liked it.  And then I thought of "Forever Beautiful," but it was taken. I really wanted that one. I ended with my first choice. At first, I wasn't too happy about it. The more I thought about it the more I liked it. I've been described as a "blunt" person. I speak my mind. I do not care what people think about me. Somehow, respect is very important to me. If I say something to some, I must do it with respect. But in my opinion, respect is earned and not given. 

          I am nowhere near size 0 or 100 pounds. That ship sailed a looong time ago. I'm not perfect. I do not have the best self-steam. I'm working on it. I'm going to be "blunt" about it. I have beauty. You have beauty. Everything and everyone have beauty. Cliché much? ....sort of. It's true! The message that I'm hoping to deliver is that no matter your physical image, you should do what you love. Be straight up about yourself as a person. Laugh at yourself once in a while. Be real. Be honest. Love yourself. Appreciate yourself. Respect yourself. Love the beauty that surrounds you. Look at the subset and admire it. Before bed, compliment the moon's beauty. When you're about to eat a bowl of fruit, appreciate the colors they're made of. Simple things might make you the happiest. 

          The Simplicity of Being Yourself means that there's no need to try to be someone you're not. You should not have to work extra super hard to be someone you're not. Be yourself. That's the simplest it is going to get. 

With lots of love,

Celi❤
