Mexican Cherry

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



Sometimes people leave marks in your life, somehow there are certain individuals that engrave their certain something on us and the print remains forever, or at least a long period of time. Of course, in my life there have been incidents with some and also lovely encounters that now are a permanent memory that as Voldemort's horcruxes were stained on a specific place or object. Below I present you the more impactful of them:






An oldie but an eternal memory...yes! A friend that now clearly grew up to be another man nicknamed me Smurfy and used to give me these chocolate and marshmallow baked goods every Saturday...wonder if he still remembers this silly thing. 





So, Spain...more specifically Barcelona was known to have one individual that loves dark chocolate, singing, dancing and obviously sports, plus the ability to dissapear.




This one is an older one even, and the memory attached is mostly by the sense of smell. This creature smelled so damn nice! Manly actually, but in the good way! The person acused me of stealing it or losing it, but as I remember, he was just sent to a better place~ 

In a more mundane meaning, this little was passed from girl to girl, you know, faking the sincerity of having something from him...plenty had him since I forgot the existence of the little one but hey! Hope happiness reached him either way.




Oh boy! We reached the weirdest one! Came out from one of those times that you were looking for nothing on Facebook and suddenly an announcement crashes your hope and silly dreams turning them into heartbreak.  

Don't be too sad for me! This one is a memory that was more simbolical of the hardships but developed to be the most amazing and rich story ever so, no hard feelings here on this one! 



One Valentines you wonder wether he's playing the Jay-Z on you and a sudden cheap as candy you notice in his hands catches your attention. You ask for it and the reaction is none other than a NO that denotes it is something special. You will never know the full story behind that lollipop and in a future it won't really matter but, in that exact moment, it means there is a Becky with the good hair. 


The relaxing trip was supposed to fill energy was hit by a tropical storm that never went away. No sunny beach, no sandcastles and no reply to what the thing is going on with you two. Perhaps you cried too much over it, didn't even enjoyed the stay....

You ask: Do you miss me? 

He replies: Lool no 




That year is a blurry blurry rollercoaster. Between hard as college work to the most stressing period of your so called relationship at the time, you forget all the good things that came up in 2016. We don't wanna remember much. It was THAT hard to overcome. 


This one. Sorry but I don't have long hipster wavy hair, mine is straight, so so straight and not even the less messy. Just ain't me. You had to know mine is not that way and now you do.



Howdy! It seems memories that stained were mostly evil and saddening. Not to worry now~ Liberate every single stain and tint of it, now we are free. 

This bus...Let's say it is the continuation of the situation in Etta James I'd Rather be Blind, after they walk out together and move to another location, leaving you not even a little blind of what happened.




Video killed the radio star was a song that I enjoyed as a teenager until the individual attached a hole bunch of evil and cringey stuff to it. Wasn't able to listen to it for a long time after that. 




Guess the friend that told me those details wasn't exactly helping me at all but in the end it was known by many. The memory was something that messed up the visit to surroundings, never wanting to step into the same place where the stuff happened once. 




We get to a happy one. Plenty was done here. It witnessed everything to write it down.




Bonus: A symbolic one that doesn't make me feel anything at all but that meant a lot the past few years. 






🍒🍒🍒

This collection of weird, specific and intense memories is an act of liberation, reaching freedom out of bad thoughts, no more negativity from now on! Letting go of these to open up for new and fresher impactful moments that fill my life with the purest love mankind has ever known.

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

After watching Rachel Nguyen's WHAT I EAT IN A WEEK video, my mind started to wander on dieting, yes, I diet sometimes but every single one there is a point in which I comply to others, wether is an outing with friends or my mother's favorite recipe, falling off track is pretty easy. Today, after a tiny binge on Nutella spreaded on white bread an alarm popped and told me it was time to reset.

Job hunting, exercising, worrying over the future seems like enough already, but Rachel made it look so pretty and elegant to reset yourself and eat clean, just giving the body good food for only 30 days.

Researching, it seems pretty easy, the program has it's on website "Whole 30", where they explain everything beforehand and here you can check the banned food: Download Whole 30 official rules.

So hey! Time to go ahead and work hard for myself only, hoping I'm strong enough to order green tea instead of a nice hot chocolate, but I do want to clean my body and see what this healthy clean changes do for my overall health. Sure, it will be hard, but in the end WORTH IT! Besides, one of the rules is to stay off the scale so, today I weighed myself and it will be the last time until 30 days pass.

Wish me luck



Until another time

The title of this post might sound daring and way bold, while for me, as an International Relations graduate, is actually a part of reality and just an advice towards the rest of the IR community. 


Disclaimer: This is definitely not directed towards the UN itself or any of it's activities. I respect it for what it is. Consider this post as an advice or suggestion for our fellow colleagues and others to perceive this field in a broader sight. 



When I entered college, there was this group of people that displayed their reasons to study International Relations and their expectations for the future, and everyone kinda said something about traveling around the world. As fancy and tempting this sounds, the IR field has no limits. Yes! No limits! 

Then, as our student journey kept going forward, most teachers would ask if we saw what the UN (insert assembly) was about, or if we would like to do a model an debate international topics. It always seemed to me that others think about consulates, diplomatic missions and finally the UN. 

Yes, it would be a great opportunity to be able to participate within the UN activities, although to my perspective, teachers and students are missing the big picture... As much as we love international organisms and the massive meaning of them, my colleagues often forget that our field is composed by different scenarios, and we have the local, national, international all interacting with each other. Whatever is done in an international way, affects us locally. Don't believe me? Think about how most of us have an imported item in the household, or about the music and movies, series, books, art...etc, that we have or has influenced our daily life. 

Everything is involved in an international performance, which is why dear colleagues, we can aspire to work in plenty spheres, not only the diplomatic way or the international organism is available. Dear colleagues, the world is ours! We can dream of anything! From yes, makeup, art, politics and even design, we can do it! It obviously depends on each individual but please, do not let yourselves fool that there is only one accepted way for us. This world offers more than you'd think.

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

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.

Hey, it is Mexican Cherry ~ Alive and already inspired to keep slaying...

Tiny update on how things are rolling these days and also an explanation for the lack of content a.k.a The Drought. 


Gonna keep this simple, really. My hardest, longest, complicated and terrifying exam already occurred and still waiting for results, gonna get em on December 6. Wish me luck! Hopefully I passed with a nice score (really praying for that).

Love has been floating in my air! Sincerely, between the exam, the study sessions that bae cheered and lightened for me and plenty coffees and dates, my schedule became a blob that focused solely on that. LOVED IT!

Creatively, must say inspiration knocked on my door again, feeling like creating what I truly want and how I want it. Today was the last day to work for school or projects and from now on the theme has been scheduled.

- Gotta workout a looooooooooooooooooooot since my lack of discipline kinda ruined the plan of being hot as on prom, now I gotta look decent and healthy enough.
- Read all I wanted but couldn't
-Paint! Love my watercolours and miss them so much
- Regain my guitar skills
- Boost this lovely blog and give it a deserved makeover.


A plus of it is that I will be introducing way more personal content, but this time a visual one. 

Still loving two bloggers/vloggers/queenswhoslay, and both are Rachel's except for their lastname...will discuss that later I promise.


So, love...burnout, creativity and fitness. That clearly visualizes december's take of events and the upcomming surprises, btw bae if you're reading this I love you so much, you are my rock S2 



- Until another encounter-


Yours truly,

Mexican Cherry

Life presents us a  range of choices to be made daily, from the most mundane such as chosing what to have for breakfast or our outfits, to the ones that will change our lifes forever. To me, one choice of life are friends.

Art by Allison Harvard - Sadly I don't recall the title...

We definitely chose people to participate and share our life together, and in this process there were times some people told me to leave behind my honest feelings, opinions and more importantly, to just adapt and be with others because in the future I might need their connections.

So, are friendships supposed to be smart or honest? 

I understand that the relationship we have with others can save us from difficult times, but to me there is absolutely no way I will ever "have a friend" just because of benefits. I have lived with a principle of honesty, with a note of purity within; I won't let anyone change me or tell me how to be, nor I will change others or tell them how to be either.

How I am is literally how I am - Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing, but it is the only way I have ever lived until this day, and I must say it has cost me some events maybe, night outs, parties and awful team projects, but in the end I know that the friends I have, even if I can count them perhaps with one hand, are the best ever and our friendship is as pure as the purest thing you can think of.

Wether I will need connections or others favours is unknown...but I have witnessed how mean people have taken advantage of those with clean intentions, just because of convenience, and also experienced the effect by myself.  I thought a girl was kind and sweet once, leaving behind my first impression of her, thinking to myself I was awful for judging way too quick. Short story, that girl was not sweet at all, she was a mean girl, one that would talk crappy things behind your back but would talk to you very nicely if she needed anything.

Experiences like those made me realize that if I ever encountered another mean girl or well another mean person, there wouldn't be a chance of them hurting me. Since then there was no question anymore of how to conduct my relationships in the future.

Proud that nothing changed me or my principles, it is true sometimes it affects me that others have like 10 close friends and can go out as a group, or maybe even the fact that in my own prom, this would be evident, that my friendships are not plenty, but one thing I know for sure is that there is no regret! I rather have 2 other close friends that encourage me to do my best and tell me things straightforward than having 20 that talk nasty about me behind my back or that just talk to me because they need something.

Mexican Cherry encourages you to stay true and to not let anyone change you! Keep the positive vibes floating `~
