Versatile Blogger Award




First of all,  I want to thanks so very much to my dear Jannie from In All My Jannieness for nominated me for this award. It makes me very happy and I humbly want to thank her and also nominate her for this award. Her blog is lovely and I like to read it because I feel like I am talking to a friend.
Secondly, what is The Versatile Blogger Award? Since I am very new in this world of blogging and very, very amateur on this, I had to do some research and this is what I found: The Versatile Blogger Award is a Peer Recognition and Relationship Building for Bloggers. I think this a beautiful thing since bloggers find a little lovely family with their blogs and also we learn from each other and comment on things that are interesting to us. So thanks to Versatile Blogger Award and to Jannie.
Okay, there are a few rules for this contests that I have to pass along to all of you:

1.- Thank the person who nominated you for this award and link to their original post.
2.- Share seven interesting things about yourself
3.- Nominate 15 newly discovered blogs and contact them to let them know they have been nominated.

Now, here are the seven interesting? things about me:
1.- I am a true believer in Karma. What goes around comes around. I also believe in living in the present, enjoying the present time with family and friends. Differences in opinions should not ruin a good moment.
2.- English is my second language and I laugh at myself very often when I cannot understand what I just said to people. It is also funny to see their puzzle faces like, what did she just said? Hilarious! I just keep moving (should I say talking?)
3.- I have watched the movie Gone with the Wind like 200 times in my life. In the last 3 months I have watched it like 20 times. There is something about Scarlet O'Hara and I cannot get enough of her. I also love the The Ten Commandments and Pulp Fiction.
4.- I am a makeup compulsive buyer. I have a huge collection of lipsticks and eyeshadow. I remember being a little girl sneaking into my mother's bedroom and putting some of her makeup on. God, didn't I love that green mint eyeshadow and that red lipstick? When I visit my mother, I still like to go into her bedroom and go through her makeup collection and put some of it on.  
5.- I think of me as a person who is still very naive for my age. I think that when you have a good heart you never have bad thoughts. I like that about me.
6.- I am very clumpy. I am always hitting myself onto doors, desks, chairs, tables, etc.
7.- I hate to ride on the bus. I rather walk than take the bus. Nothing personal, but the bus service in NYC is not very good.
Uuff, this part was hard. Isn't always hard to talk about yourself?

Finally, my nominees are:
1.- Joice at Love Joice
2.- Donna at My sweet milk tea.
3.- Sonia at sccataneda
4.- Vale at Fashion and Cookies
5.- Fabrizia at Cosa mi metto???
6.- Jasmine at Adam Alex Mommy
7.- Winda at Seek the Sleek
8.- Mimi at Aesthetic Lounge
9.- Francesca at Don't call me a fashion blogger  
10.- Jannie at In all my Jannieness 


I know that the list does not have 15 nominees, but the presented nominees are very dear to me and I love their blogs. These are very special ladies with great style and with great fashion and with great souls. I hope you like the nomination. 


Hasta Pronto!

JewelMint Pieces

Hello Lovelies:
I want to share with you some photos of my new acquisitions that I am very excited about. These two bracelets that I got from JewelMint are so gorgeous.
                -------------------------
Hello Queridos:
Quiero compartir con ustedes algunas fotos que tome de mis nuevas adquisiciones, de las cuales estoy muy contenta. Son estos dos brazaletes que compre en JewelMint son muy lindos.

These pieces are created by actress Kate Bosworth and celebrity stylist Cher Coulter. Their creations are unique pieces and in my opinion each piece tells a story.  
                               ---------------------------
Estas piezas son creadas por la actriz Kate Bosworth y por la estilista de celebridades Cher Coulter. Sus creaciones son únicas y en mi opinión cada pieza cuenta una historia.


I was so excited when I got my package and I was beyond excitement when I actually opened it and I saw the delicate mint color boxes with a black lace around it. Each box has inside a gorgeous black velvet pouch and inside each pouch were these gorgeous vintage bracelets.  
       


        ------------------------
Estaba muy emocionada cuando recibí mi paquete y me puse aún más emocionada cuando lo abrí y ví las dos cajas de color verde menta con una cinta negra alrededor. Cada caja tenía dentro una bolsa de terciopelo negro conteniendo estos lindos brazaletes.






I love, love both of them. The Soleil Bracelet makes me feel like an ancient Egyptian princess and this girly Heart of Clove Bracelets makes me feel one lucky woman.

                                  ---------------------------------------
Estoy fascinada con los dos. La pulsera de Soleil me hace sentir como una antigua princesa egipcia y esta femenina pulsera de un trébol de cuatro hojas me hace sentir una mujer afortunada.

I am very happy with these gorgeous bracelets and I definitely will get more pieces from JewelMint. I recommend that you take a look at their website. Ah!, I've forgot to mention one more important thing: each piece is $29.99 for members and you get a 50% off promotion with your first piece. Isn't that sweet?
Hasta Pronto!
                                                               -----------------------------
Estoy muy contenta con estos bellos brazaletes y sin dudas que mas adelante voy a comprar más piezas de JewelMint. Les recomiendo que le den un vistazo a su página web. Ah!, se me olvidaba mencionar algo muy importante: cada pieza cuesta $29.99 para los miembros y también consiguen un 50% de descuento con la compra de su primera pieza.

Bye, bye!
