Mexican Cherry

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



As a child I could only imagine what my life would be like as a young adult, only wandering in scenarios of being part of a large corporate and already living by myself in a luxurious condo or discovered by a talent recruiter and travelling the world as a famous artist. Anyways, none of that happened, and there is nothing to worry about, because in this world, everyone has their own time, without having to be absorbed by others expectations of our own lives.

Today about six weeks and three days away from my birthday, life pushed me to a point in which a lot of people my age deal with...I think. Let me give you some context in the form of a list:

1 . Searching for a job
2 . Unsure about life path
3 . Figuring out a life purpose

Sounds so dramatic, but there is no other way to describe how sometimes we feel, without sugar coating or a fancy editing that makes us look flawless as Queen B once sang for us.

Turning 23 is also about reflecting on what you want, money? love? money and love? And if I know what I want, how to get it? Multiple questions come over the surface as we walk one more step into the 24 path fearing we'll reach halfway of the tweenties feeling the same way.

Wish I could tell you how to take the next step out of the questioning but I'm as uncertain as you perhaps. The only thing I can assure you is that hard times give us the tools to grow and overcome them, learning a lot through the progress of understanding who we are at least in the present. Be sure not to fall in a pit of lazyness disguised as self-care, because that line is an easy one to cross and make us feel we are in a parisian movie, when in fact, we are just hiding and avoiding our own growth, so challenge yourself everyday, whether is making your bed or taking a walk outside, courage is within us and we gotta let the world know about it!

If you ever need anyone to listen, here I am, judge free, sending all good vibes right at you <3

As we reached the final days of 2017, many thoughts pass through my mind. While playing videogames yesterday and listening to Björk's album Vulnicura, it seemed the old feelings that made me understand the story of it were just an old passage of life, one that is now out of date. This memories marked my life, let's remember 2015 and 2016 got together and punched me in my lowest, leaving me trembling on the floor and sobbing each second, while this year (without a couple of these past few days), was kind and opened the doors of pure happiness again. 






I must thank certain individuals for letting me live a life full of joy and excitement, mostly my one and only rock, my 첫사랑 .

Dear,

If you ever read this, I want you to know that you were the only constant this year that I could rely on. Reaching my highest and my lowest, you were always there to support me and cheer on me while I tried to overcome plenty of obstacles. I'll be here for you, always...

Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours


I could say there were characters that played an important role in this years play, and although they are always in my memory, that is what they are now...just a memory. Wish I could change some relationship outcomes but, in the end let's leave the past where it belongs and not base our current behaviour and feelings on it, with a few exceptions of happy memories of course~ It is not about forgetting, it is letting it be, whatever happened has a time and a certain circumstance surrounding the event, and even though we cannot pretend the past doesn't exist (and we shouldn't), we can grow and accept life, because life itself is a wonderful random play that throws weird acts and climaxes infinite times 💕

So, even though 2017 was something to remember and reflex on, this one is going to be a weirder one, since there is not a guideline to tell me where to step, how to go and more important...WHERE?


Let happiness knock on your door and take it down, let it stay and cuddle you to the warmest days ever, not looking back to any bad ~



No matter what happens, guess the only way is forward, but please, stay true to yourself, because this world screams us to be uniform, all the same and just followers. Last year, love taught me a lot. Love yourself, that is the main and most important thing ever...

Just like the moodboard above, my body could grasp love, sexiness, understanding, freedom...I worked plenty and never stopped for a day last year. Every single day I woke up wanting to live. A lot of those locks that were stopping me from having a wonderful romance story were faced, a lot of restrains were burned to never come back, a lot of tears was no longer in the daily roll up that contained life.

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

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

Lately life has been a rollercoaster.

From an earthquake that left me some post traumatic effect, having to change office due it and college madness that comes from dictators that call themselves teachers~ But what makes things hard everyday is not really an outside influence. I feel like now live is sleeping on a cutesy and spiraling outta control SLUMP!

And realizations came, telling me there are a lot of minds wanting me to go some way, but in the middle of satisfying everyone's needs or expectations, I lost it. Had a breakdown a couple of weeks ago and from there I could tell that every action was directed towards others and not to my own achievements. Doing stuff and not getting credit gets harder when you apply knowledge to it, when you have lived that way always and then your brain tells you: Hey! Shouldn't we get credit for things we do? Well yeah!!

After that spiraling madness of life in September my Elle Woods slash Andy from Devil Wears Prada motivation hit me hard. It sums up into these big mistakes of mine:

1.-  Ok. I am not eating propperly. Not feeding my body, no no, NOT FUELING it! 
2.- Worrying over the biggest test/more important one ever in my college lifetime, but not doing a damn thing about it! 
3.- Watching every minimalism/style/make up/decluttering/early riser... PRODUCTIVITY videos but not applying shit to my own life. 
4.- I realize I'm LATE for everything! And bae was very clear telling me I could lose huge opportunities just for arriving late every single time plus, nobody likes that, not even I like it...but now it has become a habit that needs to stop! 
5.- Changing behaviour of work and productivity to stay - chill- 


Abandoning your aspirations, goals or routines just to please others can become really dangerous to yourself. If you're ever in the middle of that cycle, please stop. Seems like everyone wants us to be some kind of way, but c'mon there is nothing bad with being yourself. This hit me this weekend...why did I ever stop working until late night? Why did I stop perfectioning my work? Why did I kept on putting my own confort over way more important things? 

For example, dieting over 10 years ain't pretty. Let me tell you, it becomes a disastreous loop of dissapointment. Why? As far as I can tell and leaving aside ED thoughts and behaviours, there was never enough done, always leaving in the middle, when progress was not arriving as fast as wanted or when emotions hit hard and food was conforting. Tonight I tell my self... Babygirl it is time to STOP! 

Time to rise above everything and reach to my inner strength.  No pleasing others, time to fight for myself and don't let anyone shame me for who I am or how I do stuff. This time it is for me and I want my best! Change & progress won't be visible in one day, maybe two or maybe nobody will notice for weeks...months! 


So this is the plan: 




  • First, follow the nutrition plan I have and stop indulging just because.
  • STUDY: Even reading a chapter or concepts everyday will help. 
  • Wake up EARLY for once and everyday ~Always, because no, I don't need the extra 20 minutes of sleep, I need to get ready and make it early to work, noup...make it early to EVERYWHERE!  This needs to become a habit again. 
  • Use all the knowledge on productivity acquired from other talented and productive individuals. 
  • Stay true to myself.  Live for myself.  

October is gonna be such a great month, I'm gonna own it, take it in my hands and get the badass girl that is in me right out for the world to know ~   


I deserve the best and no in betweens, either yes or no

Era un día de San Valentín cualquiera, al menos cualquiera de los que pasé en preparatoria y la escuela decidió que era buena idea llevarnos a todos al cine a ver una película de zombies que sí, se enamoran y bueno, de lo lindo todo.

Antes de esta ocasión, mis amigos sabían muy bien de un crush mío, ese chico dreamy pero nerdy, que tenía sonrisa colgate y además era listo, jugaba volleyball y se lucía por lo alto. Era flaco y bastante reservado, pero para mí en ese entonces era un chico que me gustaba demasiado.

Volviendo a lo del cine, días antes decidí tomar el asunto en mis manos y confesarme, era cuando el drama coreano me daba bastantes ideas y eso de la confesión fue muy popular, así que dije ok, ¿Cómo decirle? Inventé un dichoso intercambio de regalos entre toda la clase, solo para poder comprar una taza de espresso blanca y que no me dijeran nada en casa, aparte de pensar en hornearla con un diseño hecho por mí.

El hecho de que fuera homemade también me daba esa ilusión de que el chico dijera wow! ok! seamos algo! (lo cual ahora pienso que fue super iluso de mi parte), pero bueno yo la hice toda linda con la frase en espiral y por dentro de la taza se leía: 

Will you be my valentine?


La envolví y en una bolsa color morado (mi favorito), esperando lo mejor, otros detalles no recuerdo.
Ugh! Ese día me llevaron en auto al lugar y no sé si salimos a destiempo o algo por el estilo pero llegué super tarde y cuando todos ya estaban dentro de la sala. Lo que si es que mis amigos sabían que me gustaba y me guardaban un lugar junto a él, aunque cuando llegué alguien más lo había tomado, así que pasé toda la función en la parte de abajo y con un amigo que gracias al cielo me ayudó a no sentirme tan sola en el área de maestros... acabando la película salimos y todos andaban ya sea de shopping o viendo si íbamos a comer juntos.

Antes de esto llamé al chico y sin decirle nada solo le di la bolsa, porque preguntó para quién era o si me lo habían dado, extendí ridículamente mis brazos y se lo di, después de eso dijo amablemente, gracias! y nos separamos....en parte porque era la primera vez que yo hacía algo así con alguien que me gustara (lo cual era inusual) y también porque de la emoción salí corriendo lejos y llorando del shock y de lo boba que me sentí haciendo eso, aunque varias de mis amigas felicitaron el momento y lo valiente que fue.

Pasó el tiempo y de hecho fuimos a comer en la misma plaza; no lo volví a ver ese día, así que era obvio el resultado. Otro amigo solo me pudo decir que fue un "shock" para él y que no sabía que hacer, pero era obvio el rechazo, sino qué más?

Ni siquiera fue capaz de mencionar el tema, nunca hablamos de eso y solo lo dejé ir...me trató como si no hubiera pasado nada, solo amigos y ni siquiera de los cercanos.  Creo que eso cuenta como experiencia de lo que muchos llaman friendzone, pero solo sé que desde ese entonces decidí que yo no haría el first move de ser novios o algo así, o sea si decir hey me gustas! pero no la pregunta que hace oficial a la pareja, porque esa experiencia me hizo darme cuenta de que quiero vivirlo, ser yo la que reciba algo lindo como lo que hice, que ese momento alguien lo preparara conmigo en mente...

Confiaba mucho en la valentía de declararse una y hacer la pregunta, pero al menos una vez en la vida, quiero sentir mariposas de que el hombre en cuestión haga una pregunta así, cursi o no, es algo que me gustaría y es por ello que dejé de lado la idea de ser yo la que hiciera tal cosa, al menos para "la pregunta" y no puedo decir que no he pensado en ello, porque cuando te pega el amor puedes hacer cualquier cosa, pero al menos en este asunto aún me reservaré ser el primero que alce la voz.
