Mexican Cherry

Hello & welcome to the lifestyle blog of the Mexican Cherry!





Saturday mornings can be two ways, either a lovely one with coffee and your favorite breakfast while netflix on the screen or the one I had today, late and worrying about the future and the present choices that take me further away from a better life.  You see, it is scary to face the day when you have to search from 20,000 job offers that are not even meant for your field and expect someone to like you enough and call back.

How's health? Bad, bad choices were made. The Whole 30 beginning was messed up and well, they say there are no chances so, gotta start from the very first day again.At least the flu is now out of my system! Hooray for that! Guess the Nutella will take a bit longer to do so...

Haircut day too, because why not? Besides the only one to judge me for real might be my boyfriend if I ever get a bad haircut and hopefully this time he likes it as much as I think I do.  And huge thanks to him for showing me this:

Watched a few with him and I became obsessed, plot is amazing, everything is on point! 

Moisturizing? Ehem, let's say it is definitely improving but still not at its best, the weather has been cold as ever and truly, after a midnight shower, all I wanna do is get dressed and cuddle my ten thousand covers to get warm so, an apology to my skin for suffering dehydration on the past week. 

Organization? Laundry days kill my system, ok no, I don't really have a system but, every single time there is fresh laundry my energy goes down and I simply postpone the folding and arranging of the clothes until it is really needed. Sunday will be the day. I promise. 

Logging off for the day  to do the last chores of this lovely and incredibly lazy Saturday~



Until another time

Life takes us on changes all the time, wether it's changing our hair colour, transitioning from spring to winter clothes and of course, there is the ultimate change we all must face:WORK.

As a kid, work seems like a fantasy, everyone makes money, everyone is happy attending at 7 am and everyone is a CEO. As you grow older and realize life is diversity and not at all static and smiling working people on stock images:



It hits you, you can be anything you want and however you want, but not really, multiple factors alter your own desires and aspirations, but we'll to discuss that in another post to get to the center of the magical issue. This specific sentence was pronnounced by my lips when my mother asked me:

How does it feel to be a working lady now? 

My instant reaction was an awful face and the only words I could spoke were:

 Work does NOT define me

Perhaps it sounds a bit rude, but believe me, the fact that you now work for a company, organization or anything alike, does not change who you are, maybe there are some changes, which is normal, from the schedule to what your activities are, but the person you are before entering the job remains.  As my mother asked that, my heart fell. It could only feel a little bit of sadness for the fact that people expect that from you, that you become a bussiness woman once you enter the "ADULT WORLD". 

Did i change? Well, now I'm more tired and I have had a hard time adjusting to my schedule. After the gym I can barely open a book and focus on learning new theories or investigating, but that also happened when I entered college and changes were made because of my personal decisions, not the institution or the learning experience. 

A job should be an addition to your person, even if you love it and breathe for it, without it there should not be an empty girl, because with and without the job I am a full 100% human that has herself very clearly, and no job, payment, institution or meeting will ever change the fact that I can live without it, I can be anything I want and I do NOT need a job or a title to be myself. 

The question was perhaps directed to the growing child she still perceives, but at the same time it contains a lot of expectation from just doing another activity, working or not, I'm still awesome! Still myself, and the working girl concept, as magical an empowering it is, it also pressures a lifestyle that might not be as flexible as we think, pushing people out of their tracks expecting something out of them that doesn't necessarily has to be the "best".


So, if you're ever in a situation in which WORK seems the only defining aspect of your life, let that feeling go away with the wind or maybe you can even blow the feeling far far away too cause no matter what, do not let anyone define you over anything!


Until another time

As children, we live the dream of others, all expectations fall on to us, seeming the ones that will be different and most likely successful. Family, mostly our parents, elaborate our identities since we are toddlers. From dolls, cars, surgery games, cooking utensils for children, soccer, ballet, learning languages...etc, it is an infinite list of the efforts to show us the different opportunities life offers in another stage.


I graduated last friday, yet it feels like it is just another winter break and everything will be back on January, guess what Cherry...it is absolutely not gonna come back. 

After some heartbreaking news after prom and a week of mourning that no one could have predicted, there is the leftover feeling added that makes the whole situation even worse. I wondered, what am I good for? My career isn't an exact job application, since having gathered all this international knowledge doesn't really helps you target an exact job. To me, there is a wide range of choices but, in the end no desire to pursue any as of now. 

So, what happens now? We had a great party, danced all night and sang a lot. Now everyone expects us to get a job and take part of the adult world of productivity, seems there is no other choice. Some have already started the race to get an offer and send an application, some others are already working and then there's me: 


Ok! Not as desperate, but it sums up some of the scary thoughts that tend to pop up all of a sudden once you realize there is no other semester, you are done and now there is no one to tell you what the next step is. As I have said before, this is a journey of discovery and oh boy! A week of vacations and I'm already feeling it, it is a heavy duty the one to find a productive thing to do once you're time is no longer dictated by a schedule made by others. 

To be honest, getting a job is not my priority. Actually, enjoying life is the one and only objective from now on, obviously in the healthy frame, we do not want to get all messed up in the health department. My next step? Gym everyday baby! After Christmas sadly, because of our commitment to visit grandma (where there is definitely no gym), but hey, once the celebration is over, this girl is practically going to experience dedication. 

Ideal Goals: 

  • Reach a healthier body shape 
  • Read all wanted books I already own 
  • Have breakfast everyday 
  • Clear my skin as it was before indulging without any measure in sweets and junk food
  • Mantain a clean and organized bedroom 

If I manage to keep up, this will obviously have an effect in my life, besides preparing a better physical and mental state for me to embark in the job hunting issue, that will be postponed until further notice~ So, what's happening after prom?  ME....full dedication towards my body and mind only, in hopes of a better self that can handle this chaotic world in a better way. 


Until another time

Bloggers, influencers, celebrities, brands...a lot of actors in this scenario we call world are constantly releasing material in a VISUAL format. It has a purpose of course, but as I have observed in my short 22 years of living, sometimes our Sunday afternoons do not look like a monochromatic pictorial that is VOGUE worthy. 

In order to explore creativity a bit more, in November/December I took plenty photos (sort of because of the app used) to document more about my daily life, knowing I'll be thankful in 5-10 years, when memories flood my brain and pictures become key in telling a story. 




To be honest I lack editing skills, so the use of photoshop is not the best and I also lack equipment other than my phone's camera, which is why there was almost a research conducted to find the best app to take gorgeous photos. My idea is to keep them the most vintage and weird not iphone quality, which means everything but your always perfect influencer HQ photo taken with the latest iphone, since I am just a normal cherry, this has to be kept normal, true to myself and oh my loves, I am really not skilled to take that kind of photos. 

Back to the question, my life is average you could say, with a tint of calm, the elements of my surroundings all mixed and not in any coordinated palette, my style still undiscovered, trying to express the best of the day. Could an average cherry be aesthetically pleasing? 

Well, it depends of your aesthetic doesn't it? For this, I wanted to take more photos to remember in the future but with a twist, try to take photos that are cute of the most mundane moments, because damn those are sometimes the ones we forget and are actually what truly conducts our everyday life. In order to keep this short and more visual, here are my daily life attempts of showing a different aesthetic, the aesthetic of the average life~


- Reading too much, enjoying a morning of study and came across with a newspaper, of course paired to one of my favorite pen's.



- Green wall of nature my house is lucky to have




- Binge of emotion, stress and overwhelming coped with chocolate bunnies




- Next to my desk, there are pictures that change frequently, still love some pink dramatic flowers




- Waiting for the ''bus'', running late to uni







Until another time

Hello! if you're new to my blog, take a look around, it might not be much (yet), but it certainly opens the gates to a new journey I "the mexican cherry" am embracing. 



Through my life, lots of people have told me to write more, that they like it or that it would be good to explore new fields of it. I study a really serious carreer so, writing has to be just like that: serious. 
Although I definitely love to write about what I study, and oh! I forgot to actually mention that I am currently studying International Affairs, plus an online Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), it gets hard to study both at the same time, but it is so worth it. Ok, got lost a bit! I surely will write another entry focusing solely on university matters.

To continue, writing has always been part of me, since little I wrote multiple stories and published a few through contests and opportunities that came thanks to the school I studied  in, which takes me back to a moment a teacher told me he could see the next Nobel Prize of Literature in me.
I might be a little discouraged, because I'm obviously not pursuing that exact title, but also terribly inspired to make writing an even bigger part of me.

So this is just the background of why I write, now let's move on to the blog issue. 


If you browse the internet and have accounts on tumblr, youtube and instagram, you might have already encountered some people that publish by a lifestyle tag. But if you look overall, it is probable too polished all the time, which is super inspiring to put your S**t together, but also quite discouraging when you're scrolling down on an instagram account of a girl who's content is amazing and shows multiple trips, parts of the world and of course, luxury EVERYWHERE!  

This scenario might be how a lot of people actually live, but I looked around and noticed that most of us really don't live like that. It inspired me to write about life without that, and don't get me wrong, it is not bad in any way, just different! I wanted to read a blog that had the average girl, the normal life and difficulties that everyone goes through. I know most of the bloggers cannot write about personal stuff too much because it might cause trouble or go out of the already stablished blog content and most of all, some actually say it is risky to write like that and about that. 

I decided to show the internet a different side of the lifestyle story, to actually share personal stuff that imply relationships, school, crisis and even sex. To write about literally every single aspect that life has, no matter what and no matter how. My life motto or at least what I follow in my everyday life with my friends is: 

"If we don't discuss these topics with each other and learn about it real close, then how are we gonna know?"

That above is why I share with my friends most of my experiences, because sharing is caring. Yes it is! And the real stuff might be hard to swallow -no pun intended-, this is the reason I want to share with you guys all of it, and also why you're going to find entries that could sound a tad dramatic from time to time. 


  • Ok so after we talked about the theme and writing background, let me tell you: WHY A BLOG? 

Simple! 

- It is currently free to share it all, while I stablish content and explore the world of blogging. 
- To explore Creative writing: Carrie Bradshaw has been an influence to write the creative way, but since I still don't have a column, a blog is the way to express.
- In the blog, I can write about everything I want and how I want without any restraint

And the last but most important reason: A special someone gave me the final push to it, the one who I have to thank the courage to start this path and really if you ever read this, thank you so much! You were right, there is nothing to fear or lose. 


This is my story, the summed up one so it doesn't become a book! And the journey for the Mexican Cherry continues, with plenty more to write and learn...







**Comming up: Mexican Cherry enters the social media way**

There was a time my body had no strength, my fingers wouldn't move as much as I wanted. At the gym, I stood in the locker room with no fuel to take me to the training room, then tears came and I had to change my clothes realizing there was no way I could even start my routine. 

Everyone said keeping your mind busy was the best, but what happens with the memory? Is there a reset button that can make you forget all the painful moments? My memory is way too good for those and flashbacks are its favorite hobby. They said you get to move on when you don't have time to grieve. I did not find a bit of calm those months. Staying busy was even worse...and I fell asleep crying most of the times, knowing that I had to remain as silent as possible or else I would make everyone else worry over me. 

I begged, prayed and yelled to the sky for help, but my feelings were too deep, already too intense to stop. Friends desisted on counseling, since I listened but never followed any, or if anything not completely. I kept saying to myself : 

"I will do as I want and live everything without any restraint". 

This saying would take me to the highest and drop me from there. Every day felt like a roller coaster and I had no other relief but dancing my heart out and crying. I lost weight. They asked...how? What is the secret? The reply was "You get really sad and stop eating :)  "


I

Even though friends were there for me, happiness lasted for minutes only, work was a burden, my mind was so full that it pushed my willing to learn really down. I did not fail any class or stopped doing my homework, but it got exhausting... I realized nobody really cares about others too much, since we are all so deep into our own stories, so I do not take it personal if someone does not care bout me anymore, I know there are other things the mind keeps busy with and it is ok. It is normal. My mind was busy too, maybe way too much.



💙💙💙💙

Sad songs were not good, but the lyrics of anger and betrayal felt as real as ever, filling my eyes with tears most of the time, making my breathe stop and my heart ache. I dreamed of better days and wondered... what did I do wrong? 


Anyway... maybe it was not the best road to go through and part of my life is marked by those chapters written, but it taught me to stand for myself and not let anyone fool me, to learn that what I want and believe must be a reason to fight and not give up. Learned I have qualities such as loyalty, kindness, empathy, honesty...blah blah blah. This awful collection of moments depured every single part that did not match the puzzle. 

I got hit by light afterwards, without me asking for it, it arrived taking me warmly and cleansing bad thoughts, memories and reasons of the past...and you know what, I can't be happier than now, I'm in love with life, I'm in love with love

365 So Fresh




Another Monday and another visual stimulation. This time inspired by music and the heat of life, you see Lemonade right there? Actually that is the happy/psycho side of Beyonce's Hold Up, and it is AMAZING, one of my favorite songs from the album and I must confess there is sometimes a feeling of understanding, regarding the script of the video and the enchanting yet dramatic lyrics. 

Another inspo this week is literally the title of this entry, confession: I like kpop, maybe a bit too much. 

So the upper right image is actually Hyuna for the Triple H project, not entirely in love with it, but the hook is so addictive, along with the MV, you get this freedom feeling, exactly how I wanna portray my energy today and in the upcomming days. All cool, all fresh...365 of days. 

Colors popped in my vision and let me tell you this moodboard combines multiple feelings, happy, angry (thx B), sad, but most of all free.
