Mexican Cherry

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

Oh hello there! It has been a while since we meet and I am glad to tell you something unexplainable happened and the future of the blog has gone another way.





What? How?


Well, you know when out of nowhere you remember something or get an answer as a mental pop-up? Pretty much like that! and because of self knowledge practiced this year, it has come to Mexican Cherry a way to express one of her passions and a helpful insight that could advice or recommend others that are looking for items or services and want an actual human being that has tried and experienced them.

And the most important part of this is that at least as a customer I have experienced many encounters with reviews, haven't we all? But, it seems the most popular or recent products take over the forums and sometimes it is hard to find a review of a more common item or one that has been on the market for years and might not be trendy now, yet it still is a part of the day to day life.

Another fact that took me in this changing direction was that I realized the amount of products I purchase over the years is a bit out of control and no, believe me, I am definitely not a hoarder~  The reality is that I am like any other 23 year old that sometimes walks through a shop and has this burning curiosity to try on products for the sake of discovering new things.  I just love it!

After using them, usually there are recommendations made to accquaintances, and this time I want to be able to share with you my experience and honest review of a variety of items I'm sure you have seen, thought about or have been wanting to try!  


Do you have a product you want me to review? An idea of a service, movie, book or even an album to try? No fear and let's do this together, leave your suggestion below. 💗

Come on this journey with me,





Mexican Cherry

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it seemed the old feelings that made me understand the story of it were just an old passage of life, one that is now out of date.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

Currently, life is a mix of emotions. 



Normally a quiet ambiance that perfectly displays content and satisfaction with the overall picture that I created for the present. A now graduated Mexican Cherry that writes on her bed on December 17th wondering what's next. 

This blog came to my mind since it is the place I opened for myself to explore creativity, mostly writing with freedom, but now it is going to serve a different purpose. If you haven't asked yourself what I'm about to express, bless you! ... - These days I feel freedom, no more attachments or pressure over what to wear, how to act or even how to style my hair. I am done with expectations, they were murdered over a simple number two weeks ago. 

Today I ask myself... WHO AM I?  

These days everyone and everything dictates pretty much everything around you, it could reach your inner experience, your own perception over the most important in your life: Yourself. 

With this said, the content here will reflect even more personal thoughts, over a journey of reflection and discovery that will hopefully help me unmask my true and purest self. 

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.

A few weeks ago, this silly Cherry decided to inaugurate a section called: PRODUCTIVITY SERIES 

If you've been expecting content about it, I must apologize deeply, not only to all of you, but to myself, since it kinda took a detour on the way it was planned. To be honest, I went on to some changes in my everyday life and forgot to actually create content about the productivity part of my days. Also, schedulling has failed tremendously! It seems that lazyness attacked me and I didn't even moved~

Somehow, this week a spark came up in my mind and everything has progressed super smooth and Mexican Cherry is ready to rise and shine! I already have plenty content comming up and most of it represents a challenge for myself in every way so, stay tuned! A lot...LOT is comming up next on the Mexican Cherry blog~ 



Up Next: Bullet Journal

First time I actually looked at my closet with the intention of owning what works and makes me happy, I realized half of it was mainly stuff that for me has no use anymore. I told others about my decluttering process and pretty much everyone told me: SELL IT ALL


Amm yeah, by selling every item that came out from the decluttering stage of my closet, you can easily earn a few thousands, but why sell it? Sure, a student like me could use some extra money, but remember, people with nothing at all could use some clothes, something to help them live by & this is why I started looking out for options.


There are plenty shelters in my city, they specialize in a lot really! Choosing was too hard, should I give it to kids? migrants? to the elderly? Before I could actually do anything about it someone knocked on my door. A lady with two children was asking for help, she said everything was useful for her since she was homeless. In Mexico help for the homeless is quite restricted, they have to go through a lot of paper work and most of them don't want or can actually pass the required minimum to obtain government aid. As bad as this sounds there are multiple shelters that work independently but they can be difficult to be found, that is why a lot preffer to stay on the streets and ask for help. 

Now, this lady had come to my house before but i didn't know about it since my mother was the one helping her without telling us, so I though ok, money is worthy for her and the children but these items (clothes mostly) can actually help her and idk maybe she can sell or trade them, they are really useful and I reallly don't have feelings left for them. My mother thought it was a good idea and well the lady accepted the items with a huuuuuge smile which made me realize it was the best choice! 

Now I want to share the love once more and tell you guys that no matter how small, help is always welcomed in any specie, food, clothes, money or even meds  (careful, simple and no prescription ones or talk to a doctor before aiding) everything is helpful to those who have nothing else. 

I will keep donating stuff I declutter and search for other shelters that accept them too! Helping others not only yes, helps others haha but it is also an action that helps yourself by letting go and learning to share, to give away things that have no place in your space and could mean the world to others! 

I encourage you to take at least one item and donate it to the shelter or person of your preference, believe me, we all have at least 10 items that we no longer need ;)

This entry might be one that a lot can identify with, since it is about a process we all go through our entire life, yes loves, it is Change. 

When we are little, everyone places expectations for us, how we have to be as adults, our profession, lifestyle, even our sexuality is involved here! Every single aspect of life is ridiculously expected to be perfect, free of errors and always aspiring to become what our ancestors  couldn't. Somehow it shakes our little core, influencing decisions in our path. 

I will ommit the biological change for this text, later we'll be able to discuss such matters in a more detailed way, that and the adversities it has for us when it happens.  Ok to go on, our mind is always processing information, brain is one hardcore worker! To me the struggle that comes with change is the hardship of moving out of comfort, out of my coccoon in which I develop for a period of time, or maybe even the routine that enhances my productivity and happiness also. Could be anything I am happy with and believe me, everytime I get to a good point in life, where I don't even worry and smile everyday the issues arise, having me thinking of the past, mistakes, future and worries overall. 

It stops me from living my happy present 

Even though we are forced to change by growing up and social activities recquired with age, some of us really cry our heart out every stage of life. I remember being so afraid of entering college and damn, I'm graduating this year! It is unbeliavable to me, the actual fact still hasn't processed enough in my mind to accept that in a few months I'll be crossing another stage and will have to adapt to another and scarier one no matter what.


Avoiding reality 

To me, games were just a part of my day that caused fun, they give my brain a rest but also exercise some of the creativity, strategy and motor skills. It is all fun and games until you realize that you spend your day wishing for some time to play, which becomes a whole afternoon and then a daily routine.

Even though I don't judge games or people who play them, I notice that for me, they have become an escape from my changing reality, since I rather play Age of Empires than study or clean my living space. I realized the act of gaming became my comfort zone even though the majority of the time I lose in them, but it is incredible how building a virtual reality is so relaxing, numbs the mind and lets it breathe without worrying about anything real.

Until you wake up in the morning and there are no clean clothes, your bedroom is a mess and you haven't propperly fed yourself in a long time, or fed the brain some juicy information.


Recognition and Acceptation 

I am not doing anything for myself.

Repeat and actually recognize that even though it is lovely to build an entire civilization or watch other people reach their dreams, you have a body & mind of your own that needs nourishment, no one else can do it for you and no game will ever let you manage real life as easy as a ctrl clic will ever do.

It feels like crap, yes! Believe me, we all go through a moment in life that destroys the cloud of numbing we sometimes live in, nobody likes to hear they're failing to themselves. And by failing I mean not taking care or listening to the person you are, no interruptions and no comfort treats of any kind but a raw version of yourself.

Once we accept that we are not really working towards anything to take care of ourselves, then change can happen. This time, change that we can sort of manage and launch without being absorbed by an external change. To me it came represented in the way of decluttering, cleaning, dieting (learning how to eat) and exercising. I'm not perfect and all of these had setbacks, but I recognized my obstacles and got up to emend them. Gotta remember life is one, is today.

So, what next? 

Ok, we have discussed ups and downs, now what are we supposed to do? My honest advice and what I am following at the moment is to be true to yourself, listen to what you need (body & mind), don't give up, changes might be hard but it's happening either way, some of them are unavoidable and the best we can do is outgrow them.

Sometimes I wonder how all every girlboss lives, how they wake up early, plan ahead, workout, study, work, film videos, travel, learn, read, cook...qojdnuweybi!!!!! Everything seems magical if you simply search for bloggers on your social media. Somehow they have found the balance to actually achieve and get stuff done! Plus they're making money too!~ 

While sipping the cup of coffee of the day, a realization came in touch with the altercated mind and actually suggested to perform a 30 day challenge with a heavy schedule that promotes organization and productivity at their best! 

This will be the topic of the month, it will include several posts of the subjects mentioned above and even more, be prepared to explore a month or so of adventures that will force my body and mind to find an equilibrium working harder than ever! I am very happy to start this journey, but for now I declare the productivity month inaugurated and ready to go~~~~yaaaaay!!!  Stay tuned ;)

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**





12:28 PM No comments


Hello & Welcome to a cherry post that this time, will tell you how one afternoon ...




As a 13/14 year old girl, life did not had terrible complications, but it started to crumble with the surprise of depression alongside a growing eating dissorder. I was very sad, cried in school, nobody ever worried too much, not enough to actually figure out it was more serious than hormonal changes.

I hated my body, surrounded by a 60cm waist mother, a grandma that bought waist trainers for me when I was only eleven and the usual social pressure comming from already skinny friends, my mental health started deterioring, restricting my food intake, getting into self injury and a bad community of ANA's that were not helpful at all, at least in making progress or recovering.

This summes up a bit from my early teenager years. Rock music calmed me a lot, but most of it would be the one that comes with sad lyrics or dramatic lyrics, yup! a slight dramatic genre of it, sad ballads, sad rock, sad and angry metal, That and even more! So, my daily inspiration was not the best to stay on track with recovery, or actually trying it for real! Indulging in sad melodies everyday was definitely not the way to happy state (at least for my case).

One Saturday afternoon while browsing Youtube videos, watching some performances of my rock bands and exploring everything I could, the section called  "videos being watched right now" caught my attention. It was a pink thumbnail with girls in it, to the date, the reason of why I cliked that video remains unknown, but it led to a significative point in life that would change it all.

Here I present you the first K-pop video that shook my mind 

❤



The song might not be the greates musical discovery, but it surely had nothing to do with any sadness or feeling that evoked it. It was just fun and not at all tiring, in fact, it made me want to learn their dance and sing along even though the lyrics are in korean and at the time I only understood english. That video led me to explore more, first I searched for more material of the beloved Wondergirls (sadly now disbanded) and I found a range of groups that had a diversity of charms to offer. A lot of people say k-pop groups are all the same, but believe me if you look past prejudice and actually look at them, you will eventually know k-pop has a ton of styles within, not being globed by a certain way. 


Back to my story, this little girl started to follow their activities, browsing through multiple korean sites, videos and lyrics (romanized of course) leading me to grow interest not only in k-pop, but in Korea itself. Due that, I learned how to read their alphabet, to pronounce and sing propperly. 

Culture has always been an interest of mine, I read a lot and investigate about a ton of them online so, Korea became my focus and I learned even more about it through, guess what! Variety Shows! Learning vocabulary and mannerisms became way easier with them on my side and this culture showed me a side of life that can really affect everyone's lives in a sweet positive way.

If you know about Korea, you must know already that self-growth, hard-work, constance and everyday upgrade are vital components of life over there. Having this in mind, even though my eating dissorder wasn't cured magically, it was certainly re-directing itself to a more positive light, having me eat healthier foods like: sweet potatoes, lettuce (kimchi influenced), milk, even meat! I was going through a vegetarian period and cut out meat but watching shows of koreans eating it simply made my mouth water :3  

From this day my discipline totally upgraded, i learned dances (I still know the steps for the song above), korean language, korean culture, history and even geography! Wondergirls became my beloved girlgroup and even though there are hundreds of them now and they disbanded recently, they're always gonna be in my heart. I sincerely think that you can make the best out of any hobby such as dancing k-pop, watching variety shows and more into a really nice activity that also brings something to your own life. 

My depression was not magically healed or gone, but it got way better, this songs helped me get a different perspective, everything was happier, videos made me dance and workout and overall be a happier girl in my everyday life, even now when I'm blue and need a hype I can always trust some k-pop to brighten my day! 

I hope others can have this experience and get to know more than what meets the eye and not only stay with music and idols, but go beyond and explore this beautiful culture.

*This content was previously posted on Bloglovin', no worries I wrote it and wanted it to appear in here too* 

To be honest, completely and nothing to hide honest, there are still times I feel vulnerable and insecure.


Why? First of all, I've never been a girl that forgives and forgets quickly. Nope! I am the opposite and I only forgive when there are really strong reasons to. Life has treated me weirdly, not bad, but surely reminding me (or at least that is what my mind processed at the time) that I needed to be better, that there is always someone better than you and you can get replaced no matter what.
That thought has gotten me into discussions with others through time, but in the end it still remains, in a lower degree, but still...replaceable. It comes with a low self-esteem and the fact that most of the time I do not feel prettty at all. I do not even look at myself that much, the image of mine is distorted in my head and I remember my body and face way too different every time.
But this perception problems are meant to be written in a different post. They serve as the background of my current feelings though.
Tonight, the night the thirteenth episode of Girlboss was playing in my dimlighted room when I realised that what happens to Sophia, happened to me aswell. In a different way, but the feelings were pretty much the same. Short story, she gets cheated on and at first her mind doesn't process the load of emotions, helping her focus on the launch of Nasty Gal. She discovers the unfaithful man getting a blowjob from a girl of the band he plays the drums for...yup! She watches and goes away, but doesn't have the courage to break up with him or better said...she doesn't want to!
I have been there, you know, I have always been the jealous kind but this time my jealousy became pain. Watching my love flirting around with another girl and knowing exactly how he behaves so, everytime you see them together you know there is something going on between them, even if he doesn't tell anyone, because you love him girl! You pretty much know everything about him and there is a point where intuition makes you wonder even more. He cheated on me in a very weird way and to the day, I still imagine different scenarios, ones where I fight for what I want and confront him from the beginning. Ones where he tells me the truth and I can leave him and keep going with my life.

Don't get me wrong, my current life is damn happy!! I'm in love and enjoying life with ma special one~
❤❤❤

A year ago, everyone that knew me was tired, tears wouldn't stop flowing and all I could think was how? why is he doing this to me? Am I not good enough? and the worst of all ... Is she better than me?
These questions wandered my mind through a couple of months, I ran into her and thought if she wondered the same, if she knew the man she was flirting with or dating (I don't have the details on how far they went with their connection) was the same I loved, the same that was talking sweet to me, texting and still kissing me. We will never know, but this cherry thought she had no chance. Knewing ma man, she was way more hipster style than I ever will, she listens to music that they both enjoy, she knows more about digital programs and I won't mention what she does but, yeah they both knew about it. So, interests and looks were against me & my mind played tricks with my head making me feel like shit.
Not a beautiful girl, fat/chubby, short, straight no live hair...etc. Have you ever felt like there is something going on but you have no proof of it? Well, since he did the "stuff" in private and barely anyone knew about this situation, I had no other way of knowing what was going on. I tried to ask him but he's not the kind of man you can actually discuss these doubts with.
Going back to trust, mine was broken. I felt like everyone could lie to me, betray me and leave me. I felt like there was no one real, no one caring enough. In part that was true, but mostly it was my insecurity showing through, it was heartache pouring out of my pores, it was everything I needed to express to him and couldn't, every single question left unanswered and every time I had to see them together.
My days now are close to perfection as I wrote above, but there are sometimes these horrible flashbacks that show me what he did. How I cried my heart out and fell asleep with puffy eyes and mostly, every single time he broke my heart. Someone said that the only way to know if you can trust someone is just like that, trusting. That is the only way and even if you ask, there is no guarantee it won't happen again.
Yeah, hooray! My heart was broken once, and even though it kept loving, the healing process is quite slow, my love cannot fullfil everything and reach the areas that were neglected once, I need his help and reassurance just to know and believe that nothing bad is happening, that he won't do that again. Yes, it sounds awful, but just a single sentence is more than enough.
There are some things I wish I could change, because honestly, sometimes I feel like he is not sure about me and that is the reason of not publicly showing we are together, of not defining our status and barely interacting in other spaces where strangers don't form a barrier of privacy. These are the reasons the trust I deposit in him sometimes gets all alarmed and clingy, I am truly sorry for this.
Trust is a really weird concept and everyone gets to experience it in a different way...
Even if I don't get anything back or in return to what I do and say, believe me, he has become one of the most important people in my life and I am sorry to him for not being able to forget as quickly as he does, sorry for sometimes getting jealous of stupid things, real sorry for reacting so weird when I feel a slight sign of what happened before, if you ever read this, sorry bae...I am working on it and slowly moving on and forgetting every single detail of what happened, no matter what, remember that I love you my dear.
Till this day sometimes I'm weak and have bad thoughts, but surely wanting to improve and slowly but surely, get over these annoying trust issues.

Have you ever felt like you connect with the story of a character in TV? Most of the time it is just fantasy, but others the script hits you on the gut and shocks your system making you wonder how is that so like my real life???? 

This has happened to me with multiple movies, series and books even, but there is a show like no other, oh yes! Sex and the city (SATC)~  One of the most popular series ever made and girl, it is one of the most relatable ones also! If you haven't seen it, believe me, it is life changing. 

I was exploring the instagram random posts to vary my feed and found a ton of accounts that have these stills of the show with the captions on it, quotes and else. 20 minutes later I was still going through this content, one caption got my eye and I kept scrolling, but now with warmth that filled my entire being. What was it? 

For the ones that have yet to watch SATC, I won't spoil the whole story, but in Season 4, episode 8, this happens: 

To be short, her boyfriend at the moment "Aidan", helps her with her laptop since it failed and she lost her entire work. He then buys a new computer and tries to help her with everything he can.. 

More happens in the episode but to be honest the part that inspired this post is only that fraction of love that Aidan shows to Carrie and how it made me remember how my love life has been in the  very same situation! 

I am not that good when it comes to technology, digital stuff in general and even though I'm passionate to learn and discover, sometimes I wander through hours of desparin trying to install something. For a few years I have been lucky enough to have a digital wizard all for myself (well, helping me with it) and it seems that this image of them just like that, took me back to every moment my man has ever helped me with stuff like that. There is this feeling of gratitude and love that just fills me up and makes me smile so wide everyone wonders wth is going on with me. 

Some may call me intense for expressing my feelings a lot, but goddamn, as I always say: If I love, I love with my all and no restraint at all ~

❤❤❤❤

Love is not meant to be tied or censored, to me, expressing it is the most healthy thing you can ever do and it also assures the other part of the relationship of how you feel about them. I cannot be more thankful to the man always helping and supporting me in every way. He is way more than this scene of Aidan, even more than Mr. Big himself and if you know what I'm talking about, you must know how extreme this case is!  Yes, I've been there, even though independence runs through my veins, I can sometimes feel lost and a hand of support is always good and what better than from your favorite human ever? 

If you are lucky to have a special someone in your life, do not take it for granted, it is a miracle your energy matches another one and if love sprouts from that special connection, you've hit the JACKPOT!

Personally I am living in Vegas if that's the case, and don't get me wrong, not everything is perfect, but it is for sure more than ever 💕
Believe me, I will write more about SATC in the future, reminiscing, reviewing it and every single aspect this lovely show reaches. 

-I might be late on my blog schedule, love and self care have taken their time to disrupt my life a little bit and make it way more fun and healthy than ever-

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.

La Cereza Mexicana 



Cherry, Cerise o Cereza es lo mismo para mí, soy yo! y... ¿Qué habrá en este Blog? TODO. 

Si, absolutamente todo y con una gama de sabores afrutados con cada entrada. Si te atreves a seguir a esta cereza atrevida, ¡te harás adicto a mi sabor!  Compartiré contigo acerca de temas diversos, desde berrinches de la vida diaria, "reviews" de productos que la gente normal puede adquirir sin empeñar las joyas de la abuela, notas de música que advierto, pueden herir el ego de superioridad de algunos, entre otros temas por ahora son un gran secreto.

Oops! ¿Encuentras varios idiomas? Yes! This cherry girl can communicate in a wide range of languages. Sé que es extraño, pero es simplemente como funciona la vida de Cerise y una forma en la que le gusta expresarse. Este espacio es un canvas en el que pintaré poco a poco el arte de la vida en todo su esplendor, tonos en escala de grises, neón y por supuesto pastel ~





¿Te atreves a probar la cereza?
