Bangkok, here I come!

As some of you may know already, I'm having a business trip to Thailand and Malaysia, I'm leaving tomorrow for Bangkok and I'll spend a week there! Even when I'm going to be working and not precisely turisting all day, I'm soo excited because I've never been to Asia before and I know this is going to be a great experience.

I'm staying at a beautiful hotel that's actually inside a shopping mall!!! how nice is that?

After the week in Bangkok, I'll fly to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and I'll be there for two more weeks :), I'm dying to see the Petronas in real life! My flight leaves from LAX but I'll stop in San Diego and I'll do some very necessary shopping in Fashion Valley since over there seems to be very hot and I don't have much summerish clothes (lately, I don't have much clothes at all) since my office's dressing code is somewhat strict.

What I'm hoping to buy on this mini-shopping spree is:

H&M

Gold Pants (to die for!!! I sooo need them) 


Electric blue skinny jeans


Forever 21

Colorblocked Panel Top


Sleeveless Trapeze Shirt




Classic Cuffed Denim Shorts




Silk Zipper Back Top


Jacquard Striped Tie-Neck Tunic





Let's see if I'm lucky and I find everything on the stores, it's very hard to match what's on the website with the store's inventory :(

This is it for today, wish me luck on my trip!

If you have read previous posts, you may already know that my latest obsession is to make my hair look healthy and pretty once and for all.

I want my hair to grow reaaaaally long, this is why I got a haircut, I haven't colored it (even when I have more than a few gray hairs showing in my 25 year old head :( ) and I haven't used my straightener nor my hair dryer. I can't lie, sometimes my hair looks horrible hahaha and I get tired of buns and braids... but I'm convinced that I have to do this in order to get what I want, this is the price I have to pay now.

A couple of months ago, a girl I know (that had AMAZING long and healthy hair) gave me her routine and since I'm desperate because I don't get the results I want with what I was doing, I started the mini-routine yesterday.

It's very simple, she uses all Herbal Essences "Prolóngalo" products (Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Creme). This is the version for Mexico but I guess the equivalent in the US is the "Long Term Relationship" collection, eventhough I didn't find the styling creme on their US website.

So I have to shampoo with this and wait a bit, not rinse it right away  like I always do.


Then, just on the lenght of the hair, apply this and keep it for the rest of the shower (bodywash, shave, etc).

Finally, on wet hair, apply just a bit of this and let naturally dry. Also what I'm doing is untangling with a huge comb like the one below, but I never ever brush my hair when it's wet.

It seems pretty easy, maybe I just need to stick to easy stuff instead of adding too much products and getting all this build up?

Sooo... two days ago I went to Walmart and bought everything and I started using the products yesterday, I used them today, and well, I don't know what to think, my hair feels soft and smells great, but I have flyaways all the time :(, don't know how to fix this. Also, she gave me the contact info of the girl that trims her hair, she says the girl has "magic scissors" or something because her hair grows faster since she first had a haircut in her salon and today I will call and get an appointment  and see if she can cut my hair saturday morning (I'm going to a wedding so it'll be perfect if she could just... try to... make it look pretty?).

Expect some pics soon!

I'm thinking of "revamping" my blog... thinking of a new design and new tagging for the posts... making categories and such. I want to add a bit of crafting and traveling :)... I'm still working on the first drafts but hopefully for next month we'll have something different around here.

Right now I feel like ranting about my nonexistent wardrobe... it has been months, probably over a year since I bought some decent new outfits... I just don't have any money left after I pay my college loan, pay the house bills, pay gas, pay the car, pay for my mother's and my existence... I work and work and work... I don't have free time at all! I just want my student debt to be over! I have to hold on... one more year and it'll be gone!!! and right after that, I'll just go and do some crazy shopping!

I'm thinking maybe I could take advantage of end of season sales when the summer's over... we'll see.. there's a lot going on!

So... to start with my categories post, I'll name this "Friday Tunes"... on Friday Tunes I pretend to talk about music I love, new albums, songs, etc.

Today's topic is: Tegan and Sara's Concert - Oct 4th, San Diego, CA.



I HAVE to be there. It has been more than 10 years since the first time I listened to their song "My Number" (this happened while I was watching my favorite movie of all times Sweet November) and I totally fell in love with them, I quickly downloaded their albums and I've been a loyal fan ever since but I've never been to a concert, this has to be it. I just need a bit of money and I'm good to go hahaha.

Songs I'm expecting them to play:

- Superstar
- Hell
- The Con
- I won't be left
- Don't confess
- This is everything
- Call it off
- Frozen

Awwww.... I'm really looking forward to this! Plus, it'll be our 2nd anniversary celebration!

This is it for now, I want to dedicate this post to my best and beloved friends of all times, Ads and Conde, I love you guys a lot! And I miss peting you hahaha... mlospto.

I just LOVE The Naked and Famous! I just had to say it and write about it! ever since Gossip Girl brought them to my life I just can't stop listening to their songs... I totally recommend them!

Anyway... what can I say? I've been kind of quiet the past couple of months, I guess I haven't found any fashion inspiration yet... I guess right now for me it's going to be everything about hair since I just cut mine, it's shoulder length now and... I HATE IT! I hate short hair, it's just soo not my style, but I needed the cut in order for my hair to grow healthier, fuller and hopefully, more moisturized.

My ideal of GREAT hair:


If I could just have that hair!!! oh my God!!! I'd be super happy!

So... here's my "It's-time-to-have-a-super-nice-hair-plan"

1. Brand new cut, as I just said I got.
2. I'm planning on buying these vitamins just to see if they work, I mean, they can't do any harm.
3. I'm going to buy a local mexican shampoo that claims to grow your hair faster (if it works, I'll keep you posted).
4. NO Straightener (I just used it once the day after I cut it and it was because I was invited to a wedding and my hair was a huge mess... posting the pic of the day and length below).
5. NO heavy hair products.
6. Lots of water.
7. Produce and leafy greens.

I'm hoping I'll have the nicest hair ever a year from now... the count starts today!
