Nutella Hot Chocolate!!

Ever since I made my January/February favorites video and showed you guys the heart mug i drink my hot chocolate in, everyone has been asking me how i make this delicious tasting hot chocolate!

SO one day on youtube, i was just looking around and watching random videos. That day I found this video on how to make nutella hot chocolate. AND since i love nutella and i love the hazelnut flavor, i had to try it out. You guys can too... here's the video i learned how to make it from...

Let me just tell you how amazingly delicious tasting this nutella hot chocolate is!! With whipped cream, and more cinnamon sprinkled on top, it's like the most amazing taste in the world. I can't even tell you how good it is, because you won't believe me until you try some for yourself.

I'm off to make some now, because i must have my daily dose of nutella hot chocolate. I'll be making some for my sister too because.... well i got her addicted. OOPS.

Nutella+milk+cinnamon = delicious nutella hot chocolate,

Sailor fashion!

There's a new style now! Everything is inspired by sailors and anchors, all that wonderful stuffs. I think this new fashion style is sooo cutee!

There are these shorts, that i'm like IN LOVE with. I've been to 4 different forever 21's looking for these shorts but they're sold out everywhere!! Well... actually i saw one pair in a size XXL! But that definitely does NOT fit me. So i've been looking everywhere for these, and they don't even have them online =/

that's what they look like. They're navy blue with red stripes and gold buttons. They're not jeans, so these shorts will hug your thighs. I'm still going to keep an eye out for these shorts, and If i have to, i will probably end up buying  a material like that and making them myself if i can't find them!

Sailor shorts and fashion,

PHOTOSHOOT in my HOUSE!

Since my dad has the whole professional camera thingie with the lamp and all this stuffies that I only hope I could afford one day for my kids and give them photoshoots in the house, just cause its fun! So that's what my friend, sister, and I did last night once I got home from work... we didn't even take the pictures in the day time,... we would shine a very strong lamp on us and create different shadows and stuffies, and one of us would take the pictures, while the other posed. I did my own make-up, to match each outfit I did. For one of them, i just wanted to look evil, and be poisoned by an apple haha, and the other i was just having fun with!

 I feel like this one looks like it should be on a magazine cover. My baby kept jumping on me, so i guess he wanted to be in the shoot too! Look how photogenic he is!!

 haha i like this one because i was just having fun with the shoot, making weird faces and stuffies. i love being silly ol' me!

 I felt like i needed a prop so i took pictures with my empty piggy bank!! haha

 This outfit i was trying to look evil but seductive! :]

 and i like the makeup in the side of my face for this one. and the shadows!

had so much fun doing a home photoshoot, i'm hoping to do more in the future!!! =)

photoshoots and lots of pictures,

Who says?

My best friend told me about this new song today by Selena Gomez titled "who says". It doesn't matter if you don't like Selena Gomez, but you should at least look at the lyrics because they are inspirational.

Here's the chorus part so you guys get the idea:

Who says

Who says you're not perfect

Who says you're the only one that's hurting

Trust me

That's the price of beauty

Who says you're not pretty

Who says you're not beautiful

The point here is that no one can tell us that we're not this or we're not that. We can be anything we want to be and we can't let words bring us down. We need to be stronger than that. Everyone needs to know that they're alive for a reason, that they have a purpose. To someone, you are worth it. To someone, you are perfect. And to someone, you are beautiful. Even if you're the only that believes that, it doesn't matter. Think it, feel it, and believe it, and others will too. 

So tell me, who says you're not any of those things?

Because I say that you are. 

You're worth it, and you're beautiful.

Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. 

Believe in yourself, because i believe in all of you.

Saving a pigeon... or trying to. =/

As I was walking around the city today with my sister, I saw a pigeon just laying there on the sidewalk. I stayed near it because I wanted to see if it could fly. It couldn't. I didn't know if it had a broken wing, a broken leg, i didn't know. I just knew it was hurt. I stayed with the pigeon, and called an animal shelter which they then transfered me to 34567 other animal shelters looking for the one that took care of birds. I had my sister get me a box from one of the places nearby so that I could take this pigeon to the animal shelter. I felt so bad. I just wanted to help the poor thing. I got it some garlic knots and tried feeding it, but it wouldn't eat. 

After getting this poor pigeon into the box, i was on my way to the animal shelter, which was across the city! But i didn't care, i wanted to get this pigeon some help. Many people would be like, oh there's many more pigeons who cares if this one dies. But you know what, I care! Every living creature deserves to keep living!

So on my way to the animal shelter, the poor pigeon died. I was so upset, I cried when the veterinarian told me the pigeon had died. I didn't want to kill it, I just wanted to help it. The vet told me the pigeon didn't have any external injuries but that it's injuries were internal and could have been from getting hit by a car, or it could have even been poisoned. She told me that I was such a great person for trying to save this pigeon's life. And then she said "but at least the pigeon died warm, and you gave him that". Although the pigeon died, at least he died in peace right. Dying warm is better than dying cold any day. I wish the pigeon could have had just a little bit more strength to survive my journey to the animal shelter so that it could have been saved, but he's in heaven now. And there he will be okay.

I hope that many of you would do the same as I did today instead of walking past this poor bird and not doing anything to help it. Kind hearts are what we need more of in this world.

R.I.P. Pigeon
