RE-POST; Silvia's Advice: How to deal with stress.

Do to a copyright complaint I had to remove a picture...which one not sure...So I just took them all off. From now on all pictures will be my own or properly given acknowledgment like it should have been in the first place...so I apologize. I am a photographer in the making so I know what it is like.

Hello my lovely bloggers,

I wrote my Glee review and didn't hit the post button and at some moment my internet got turned off and it didn't save so I have to rewrite it. So with that said all that yuckiness leads me to my subject of the day;

Subject: How to deal with Stress.
Questions: Silvia how do you deal with Stress? What is "stress"?


As a student and worker I know what who and what stress is. It is the worst friend to have over for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Stress comes in so many different forms of appearance. Many get Headaches, Rashes, stress knots in muscles, eyes, stomach, name a body part im sure you can get stress building up there.

I have had stress headaches better known as tension headaches and you just feel this pounding and squeezing all in your head. Rashes I have only gotten when i was planning for events, and its an irritation in the skin that you feel the need to scratch or you scratch an area of skin because you think it's irritated but its not and you just need something to do to release some stress. Stress knots now this is called something funky in Spanish but basically it's when your muscles start tying up in a knot from overwhelmed stress. I have had all three of these forms of stress including a stomach virus which are often caused by stress. All these facts come from the many doctor visits i have had in the many stressful moments in my life.

Yes stress can get so bad you can be sent to the doctor or worse you can be hospitalized.

Now that you know about the different forms of stress how can you deal with it?
here a few things that have helped me in times of stress.

1.) Coloring

Yes you read right coloring as coloring in coloring books. I have found that if you color a picture you can release any stress anger into the crayon. They use this Technic in child psychologist's offices. If the child's crayon is light brushes on the paper he or she is emotional if it is pushed hard on the paper he or she is stressed/angered. They also have lines and circles and what not to determin more. I have found that coloring helps relieve a little stress.

2.) Video Games

Wah? did Silvia just tell me to play video games? Yes I did playing video games often takes the mind off things for a little while and lets you take any anger or stress out on the game. So if you have a game system play a fighting game, some intense sport, something that will help you.

3.) Exercise

The most rewarding way you can release your stress is exercise. Go to your local gym or your own gym jump on a machine and just let it all out for an hour. Dont over do it cause then you will be wishing you hadn't and then get stressed some more because you are in pain.

Don't have a coloring book where you are simply draw on a piece of paper with a pen just doodling for a little while will help.

Don't have a game system, it's simple just exercise.

Don't have machines to exercise on take a jog around the blog a few times, running helps all your thoughts rush through your brain.

What do you do to relieve stress? Do you do any of the same things as me?
Email me your answers.

So my blog is late but its better than not posting one right?

I love you all so much im soo sorry I have not been on top of things lately.

Love: Arguments, Jealousy, Compliments, and moving on.

Hello all you lovely bloggers,

So i wanted to talk about something I have been dealing with, I was gonna wait till next month to make it an advice question but I have to get it out now, LOVE.

Yes the magical 4 letter word is my quick topic. Love is beautiful and I don't think I have been in love, the love I thought I had was petty school girl love because when I go back and think about it I think I was more in love with the idea of being in love. Which wasn't love at all Arguments, constant jealousy, and lack of compliments. Now I know what you all are probably thinking well everyone argues, gets jealous, and compliments are just luxury and something girls feel they need.

Yes arguments happen all the time but when you find yourself constantly arguing about little things can start to gett ugly, one can say something they don't mean at them one moment and scar the other person for a long time. Try to work on your arguments and if they can't be resolved then are you truly in love with them?

Jealousy, yes it can be cute but is it cute when your other half ask you 100 questions about someone you were talking to and then accuses you of liking them more? NO! it gets annoying after awhile especially when it starts moving on to friends and family. Jealousy can drive people apart or create abusive situations that sometimes leads to death. Many murder cases are of someone killing someone because they "THOUGHT" they were having an affair with their girl or guy. It's really sickening what some people do when their jealousy levels are super high. Take my advice lady and gents Moderate your jealousy, it's okay to be a little jealous but not too jealous.

Compliments, Every girl and guy needs to hear a compliment every now and then. A simple you look nice in red, your hair looks adorable, This dinner is amazing, I like your ____. Just give a little compliment and I am almost positive it will brighten their day and make your relationship strong.

I have had a two bad relationships in my life time and i let it stop me from trying to find love again. In my mind any relationship I get into that guy will be just like *Brody and he's just going to hurt me all over again. I couldn't bare to try love again and just get heartbroken all over again, it will take forever to heal my soul. Little did i realize I was never healed at all, avoiding possibilities of love and putting my guard up at all times was me still emotionally healing on the inside.

I have finally let my past go, *Brody is no longer going to stop me from being happy again. If he moved on and found love again I know I can too. All the possibilities that could have happened in the 3 years I was broken I can never get back So I have started fresh. I am in a new environment at school with new guys, new friends, and new possibilities. I forgot how much fun it is to be flirty cute inviting conversations and introducing yourself with a whole new insight.

I am currently looking for a new ring to wear that doesn't look like a commitment ring i am thinking of getting a cute little silver heart, no rhinestones just a simple silver ring for my right hand and I will keep my pink heart ring on my left finger because it is my promise ring I got at my Quinceanera and taking it off only makes me break my promise.

So my lovely readers,
Live, Love, and laugh each and every day. Don't be afraid to love good things can come out of it.

I love you all so much

Silvia's Advice: How to prepare for an interview (9/30/10)

Hello my lovely lady bugs...and...male bugs,

Sorry my blog is late I don't even want to tell you my excuse because I feel like I have been telling them too often. So here is Thursday's blog.

Subject: How to prepare for an interview.
Question: How do I dress for an interview, What kind of questions do they ask?



Any one who has been to any kind of interview knows how stressful this can be. So many things are rushing through your head the day before the interview up to the moment you sit down for the interview. Whether your going for School or a job.

The number one thing to worry about before your interview is your appearance, you want their first impression to be blown away by elegance. If you are dressed properly you earn some points. Remember you have to dress for the job, so if you are going for an interview for a job that requires getting sweaty and dirty don't go in sunflower dress and bring your coach bag.

Real Experience: I went for a job interview at target for flow team, which is basically night shelf stockers. I dressed in White dress Pants with a Halter top with a low V-neck black cotton sweater over it and 3 inch black heals. I had a soft black smokey eye and light tinted pink lips. Full foundations coral cheeks and contoured cheek bones. My hair was well done I had the whole enchilada. I went in and the assistant gave me a look like are you sure your interviewing for the right job. I was asked about 90 questions and was on my way home. I got an "EMAIL" 8 days later saying I wasn't fit for the job and sorry your not hired. pfff what ever...sorry I looked too good for you. ;-)

Never go in jeans and t-shirt your will get low brownie points for that. Even if you were going for an interview for a stocking job semi dress up. If you want to wear jeans dress them up. Wear a nice sweater and maybe some boots or 1 inch dress heals. If you are a male my best suggestion would be a button up dress shirt with a sweater vest or full sleeve sweater over it. Pull the collar out of course, and then put your sunday shoes on and you look good for a interview.

The questions they ask in job interviews are your basic What would you do?
What would you do if a customer was unhappy about a price?
As well as how would your rate your self 1-4 4 being the best
Brings a positive attitude even if your having a bad day
1-never 2-depends 3-sometimes 4-all the time.

These questions are what lots of places call "personality test"

you will also be asked about any job experiences you had and depending on your age they will ask about school. What you did in school how active you were and so on.

My number one advice for any interview you go to is "BE YOURSELF" don't try and be somebody you are not. Especially for job interviews because any false thing you say will come back to sometime. If your a shy person try and be open all jobs like social
workers so they can interact with other workers and customers. If you are a loud social person show that you are but not too loud, they don't want obnoxious workers. Unless thats a job requirement.

Well I hope some my advice helped.

I wish all of my lovely readers the best of luck in your next interview.

Ps. Birthday haul is being delayed I bought some goodies today(friday night) but im going back tomorrow (Saturday evening) and maybe i'll get something to add to my mini blog haul.

Silvia's Advice: Putting bad friends behind you/ life story.

Hello my lovely bumble bees,

So im actually posting a blog super early because of my own selfish reason...Glee hehe well on a serious note i desided not to write a blog about relationships and sex and all that important stuff I am privetly explaining the situation with the reader for the simple fact that I dont feel comfortable explaining it to the hundreds that read my blog. Maybe one day down the line but not this month. So im just going answer small questions about it.

Subject: Putting bad friends behind.
Question: How do you seperate from bad friends without hurting them or making them think your stuck up? I don't want them to hate me but I dont want to hang around them.

This subject hits home so close so sharing my experiance will hopefully help many.
Through out your years in school you will witness different groups of kids, the smart kids, the not so smart kids (who are the rebelious bad kids), the quiet kids, and the kids that just talk way too much. I was always the kid who was quiet but yet smart and if I got in trouble it's because I was talking to my friend. As 1st grade turns into 4th grade and 4th grade turns into middle school Kids go through stages the bad kids become good kids and the quiet kids sometimes become the bad kids you never know. I found that my friends from middle school started changing when we were in 8th grade. we were the big hancho's now of the school. I was sadly a follower I wanted to be with my friends I did all partying rebelious style.

One day I looked into the mirror I seen a face and said "look at that stupid girl I never want to be that girl. look at her with her blood shot eyes, smeared eye liner, chipped tooth, and look at that hair she's a mess" when I opened my eyes a little wider I noticed it was me, I became the girl I said I never wanted to be. I cleaned my face and the next day I made some major changes in my life. I did not want to be a disappointment to my parents, I refused to be a failer. So my 8th grade year I still talked to my friends but hung out with them less than I usually did. I started reconnecting with the friends that I left behind when I got close to my other "friends". One friend I remained close with and we both tried to work our way away from all the bad stuff. We even started seeing the school psycologist.

So what im saying from this little flashback is there are steps to slowly seperating yourself from friends without making a big mess.

Step one: notice whats going on around you, tell yourself you need to seperate and tell yourself why. Why do I need to leave this friend behind? what will happen if we remain friends?

Step two: slowly seperate yourself from the other friend or friends. Hang out with them here and there. ocasionally answer their phone calls and call them to see how they are.

Step three: notice the improvement.
Show yourself the good benefit's of not being around the bad crowd.

I started noticing how good it feels when they would get in trouble and I didn't. Rarely did it happen but when it did I was happy to know that I was truly not guilty.

When high school came around it was really easy for me to seperate from the friends i no longer wished to be around. I kept the good ones close and let the bad ones float about their life. Some went to new schools and others just found different crowds to hang out with.

Step four: Start new.
When you finally have a nice seperation from your old friends start making new ones, never be afraid to make new friends. Before you know it your on your own kid.

I started making new friends and had a life of my own I met some really good friends and I'm proud to say that my two best friends I met in high school.

Step five: Give your old friends some acknowledgment.
Even though your not close friends with that person anymore still tell them hi every now and then. If you dont acknowledge them, that's when you look like you are stuck up.

Im still friends with all those people just distant friends and I met a lot of new friends and they all taught me many lessons in life.

Friends will come and go but the good ones will stay by you forever.

I hope my life story and lesson learned steps help you with your near future friend situations you will go through them, everyone does.

I love you all.

Silvia's Advice: Friends and their Relationships.

Hello my love birds,

Subject: Friends and their relationships.
Question: My friend is in a relationship and I feel like they think i'm trying to steal him/her from them what do I do?

I have come across SOOO many conflicts with my friends relationship it is kind of sickening. 97% of the time it was my guy friends and their girlfriend, their girlfriends would not like me hanging around at all! It's not like I would be flirting with them because I seen all my guy friends as big brothers cause if I ever had a problem I would call them up and be like hey so and so is trying mess with me and so on you get the point I hope. So I have had at least 5 girlfriends come up to me and say "what is your connection with *Alex?" I would simply say he's my best friend, then they would send their friends to spy and do background checks on me like we were in a episode of Csi. It gets really tiring!

So after so many years of dealing with high school girl jealousy I have learned to do the following:

1.) Spend less time with the friend. As much as this idea sucks Popsicle sticks! it truly does help the whole situation. If you are not crowding your friend while they are in this new fresh relationship they have time to get to know each other and he or she will introduce their friends slowly and their partner will feel at ease when they start hanging out with them and getting to know them. This way the partner wont suddenly feel threatened by anyone hanging out with their new beau.

2.) Introduce yourself right away as *Jesse/Jessica's best friend of so many years. Come right out and tell her you have been friends with *Jesse/Jessica since your were in diapers, slowly tell her what kind of friendship you have with him/her. Then you can tell her how you look forward to seeing him/her around more often. Become friends with the partner it helps I promise!

3.) Well what if I don't like the partner? We have all come across these kind of situations were we just don't like the choice our friend has made in partners. You just have to breath in and breath out. Putting yourself in the middle will only hurt your friendship with your friend. That friend will despise you and think you don't want them to be happy. Sometimes a simple sit down talk will help, if you can't express your feelings write a letter and give it to them in person. NEVER I repeat NEVER send a letter filled with your heart and soul over the internet! It just leads to blackmail! Write the letter give it to them and ask for the letter back, it's only protecting you from them using it as a reference. If talking isn't your style go back to number one and just keep your distance for awhile.

Getting involved with a friends relationship;

When your friend is in a relationship and always has you around and asking your advice about different things. Remember the number one thing when a friend is asking for advice and pretty much puts you in the middle they will keep asking the question until they hear the answer they want to hear. Love truly does blind a person they do not want to hear negative things and you have to be patient for them to really understand the advice you are trying to give them. Sometimes you have to let them get hurt to snap out of it. We all don't want our friends to get hurt but getting hurt is the heartbreaking lesson that sticks to us the most and helps make better choices the next time.

I don't want to go too into this subject being that i'm suppose to talk about it in a few weeks. I might write two blogs this weekend 1 on some new Mary Kay products i just got yesterday and another of well its a surprise.

Love you all more than you know.

Silvia's advice: Healthy snacks for school and work.

Hello my lovely readers,

So I have been sitting in front of my laptop thinking and thinking, how should I tell my lovely readers about relationships and sex, it's not something you just talk about on blogspot, but to make sure that I say all the right things, give the right examples, and have some reliable resources that you all can look into for more advice after I share mine. I'm asking a few of my friends on their views of relationships and sex and I will put it all together. I think I will post this blog subject the last week of september to give myself some time. So for now I will talk about something else.

Subject: Eating healthy snacks for school and work.
Question: What kind of healthy snacks can I eat during the day at school or work?

When you are at school or work you get the munchies to eat some snacks and most places have those lovely snack vending machines with a bunch of junk food that is not healthy what so ever. So you then have to bring your own snack in your backpack, purse, and or brief case. So below are a few things I would recommend to bring along with you, and I personally like as well. they are not 100% healthy but they are much better than junk food.

Chips:
If you are a chip lover I recommend you buy the baked potato chips. They are slowly starting to come out with all kinds of flavors but so far all I have seen is regular potato chips, cheetos, and doritos. I would have these only two times a week.

Vegetables: Vegies are a really good snack to have at work, school is a little more harder to eat because of the crunchiness of the veggies might disturb other students but it would make a great side at lunch. as for work its great to whip out of your lunch bag and start snacking on while you are reading reports or what ever it is you do. Sometimes you can go a little crazy and bring along a small ranch dipping cup to give your veggies a little favor. I like using hidden valley light ranch dipping cups.

Fruit:
I used to bring a small bag of fruit to school for a snack, I would slice apples into bite sizes or put some grapes in a back. Some fruit were a little messy to cut and put in a bag for school so I stuck to apples and grapes. As for work I made a small bowl of mixed fruit.

Yogurt:
I loved whipping out my can of yogurt in class. Yogurt is one of the most popular snack of all ages for students and working people. Although yogurt isn't something that you can keep in your purse for 3 hours plan out when you can bring yogurt.

Beverages:
The best beverage to drink during the day with your healthy snacks is water. "Silvia I don't like water" well try out Crystal lites packages to add some flavor to your water. Still don't like that idea try Vitamin water its flavored water with vitamins added in the water. Still don't like that idea and only want to drink pop well try the coke zero or pepsi max. Any kind of diet soda is better than regular soda.


Well my loves I hope this helped you in some kind of way to start eating healthy during work or school. when you eat health you get more energy in your body to get through the day without yawning or falling asleep at the table. Don't think you have to eat healthy healthy healthy you can always have a small fix of your favorite guilty junk food snack.

What is your favorite snack to eat during the day?

Silvia's advice: Makeup for work and school.

(kind of a sloppy blog im sorry)
Hello makeup lovers,

Subject: Makeup for work and school.
Question: what are some good make up products i can use for school and work without spending 40 minutes in front of the mirror?

So yesterday in my blog i mentioned i would make a little make up video of a look you can wear to school every day. well I FAILED! My lighting was horrible, My memory card wasnt taking good video, I kept messing up. It was horrible not to mention i dropped my 88 pallet on my hard wood floor and 10 shadows fell out of the pallet. =( so this blog will just be about product that you can use every day for a quick make up fix before your first class of the day or work, and inexpensive.

Foundation:
I don't like putting on foundation or pressed powder before going to school or work so the perfect coverage for me is a tinted moisturizer. Its great for summer and its great for working women on the go.
Sephora's tinted moisterizer is just as amazing as Laura Mercier's Tinted moisturizer

The tinted moisturizer is $21.00 and last me about 3-4 months maybe longer you dont need much for a good coverage. its a whole lot cheaper than lauras thats for sure, its half price.

Concealer:
I only put on concealer if its a must but, we all have those mean pimples that like to pop up on our face while we are sleeping. so a good concealer to use with your tinted moisturizer is Mac select cover up.

its $16.50 and works like an eraser im quiet found of their studio sculpt concealer as well.

Eye primer:
eye primer is obviously a must im really digging the Mary Kay eye primer works good and is cheaper than urban decay primer potion, which too is an amazing primer.

it cost 12.00 and is in a squeeze too better for application.

Eye Shadow:
As much as we all like our individual eye shadows or dust i find that the Coastal scents 88 warm pallet is the best go to pallet for a quick simple look in the morning. you make a simple eye to a really dramatic smoky eye.

it's only $24.00 for 88 colors thats a deal right there.

Cheeks:
Blush is optional to many people, i dont wear blush every day just the days i want to dress up my makeup with some blush and lipstick.

Lips:
I love Mary Kays tinted lip balms, they give you a little color with some moisture at the same time. along with that i like lip stains they last almost all day and you can dress it up with your favorite clear or shiny lip gloss. =)




Here is the look i tried to film for you all.

(sorry the picture doesn't show the look to well the one that does...my eyes look crazy like lol)

All products used and web sites where you can purchase them are below:



Face:
Primer- Avon,Magix face profector
Foundation- Cover girl, clean for sensitive skin in soft honey; All drugstores.
Concealer- Mark, Speedway concealer; Discontinued.
Powder-Mac,Mineral Skinfinish natural in Medium Dark
Blush 1: Mark, mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush Custom Color Palette in Chica
Blush 2: Mary Kay,Mineral Cheek Color in Shy blush

Eyes:
Eye primer: Mary Kay,Eye primer

(My poor chipped pallet)

Eye liner: Avon,Spectra Define Eye Liner
Mascara: Cover girl, Lash blast waterproof in black; All drug stores

Lips:
Mary kay, tinted lip balm in apricot

And thats what i pretty much use every day...with the exception of all the foundation, sometimes i just dont use it at all.

I hope you all found this helpfull...kinda sorta....REMEMBER:you don't need make up to make you feel beautiful,your beauty comes within you. buts its just something us girls like to use and buy =)

with love,

<3 Silvia

Silvia's advice: Joining Extracurricular activities

Hello my loves,

So all of today i have been thinking what advice should i give today because i don't want to keep putting back to school advice because im not sure how it will apply to everyone, but the reason why I starting making these Silvia's advice is to help a lovely girl named Alli be less stressed about her first year in high school. So bare with me for the next few blogs they will be about back to school. I think tomorrows blog will be a video or pictures of a back to school make up you can rock every day and takes less than 15 mins if I can find my memory card and edit or put together in time for tomorrow evening. So lets end this blab with some advice.

Subject: Joining Extracurricular activity clubs.
Question: How will Extracurricular activities benefit me?



when you start school you will see and hear a lot of announcements about joining many different clubs. These clubs are basically there to 1.)Keep students involved with the school 2.) keep the kids out of trouble 3.) a good way to meet new people and make friends. The biggest pay off of joining many clubs is putting them on college application, colleges look at your list of clubs to determin how a.)social you are b.)personal interest and c.)how much community service you put into your school. When your in college depending on the school they still have some clubs you can join as well. When your out of high school and college job application now ask what kind of activities were you involved with in school. They recommand you list them all on your resume along with what you did when you were in that activity.

When I was in high school I listened to the afternoon announcments for all the different clubs and write down the ones I was most interested in with a date and time for sign ups. I was involved in a total of 5 extracurricular activities. Environmental, Philanthropy, Tech, Drama, and Yearbook. All very much fun I made many new friends in the clubs some becoming very close friends, I also made me some money in tech club, and went to prom for free because of tech. =)

Don't ever feel like you shouldn't join a club because you'll look like a school dork, because your not! You help make your school look better and I can only hope and promise it will make school alot more fun for you. plus you have a better chance at getting a fun job because you were so involved and social. So go out join all the clubs that sound fun to you and have a blast.

With love and encouragement,
Silvia <3

Silvia's advice: School Organization

Hello my school monsters,

Subject: School organization
How can I keep all my class folders and notebooks organized?



When I am in school I am so organized when it comes to folders, notebooks, and binders I called myself OCD for being that way. The benefit for being organized in school is you will know where everything is, it's easy to concentrate on studying, and you will feel great about yourself. So here are my tips and ways to staying organized for school.

Notebooks:
I had a separate notebook for each class and each notebook was a different color and properly labeled on the right hand corner for fall semester and bottom left hand corner for spring semester. This way if i went back to look at notes I know what semester im looking at and wont get them confused. My label usually read like this "Young adult litature, Mr. Yiakos(he totally taught health lol), Fall Semester, Silvia Lopez(sometimes Lopez, Silvia)". On the inside of my notebook would be all notes or self assignments. Each subject note would be properly labled with chapter number and page number of book readings, along with full date. This way when I went back to study I had the chapter,subject, page number, and date taken all right there.
*but to be honest I was horrible at studying only because I never made enough time but I had amazing notes.

Folders:
Like Notebooks each class had their own folder and color all properly labeled on the upper right hand corner. I would have the clear like folders but with color and on the right hand side was all or any hand back assignments and on the left was loose leaf paper and any notes I wrote sloppy and I needed to rewrite again in my notebook at home. I would also have a calender facing up on the front of the folder with important assignment dates and lab days as a reminder.

Binders:
If the class required a binder I would go to target for a 1 inch avery heavy duty binder with a window to lable the binder and decorate it to my liking. In each of my binders i had binder seperaters with the tabs on the side and i would label each tab with Notes, Quiz's, Assignments, Hand backs, and Projects. All depending on the class but that was the usual routine and in the back would be loose leaf paper.

Planners:
Each and every student should have a planner for school and I dont think i need to talk about this too much but you use this planner to write down all homework assignments any social events and important save the date information. I would be lost if i didn't have my baby planner.

Tote:
I loved taking totes to class cause i would keep all my folders and notebooks in there and carry my books. In my tote i would also have a mini purse along with a magazine or book to read when i had nothing left to do in class or to enjoy during lunch break.

Well i didn't really give too much advice I just shared what I do for classes when im in school and what not i would think thats advice through experience. hehe

I get all my school supplies from Target and Staples.

Happy school days!

Silvia's advice: Perfume or body mist for school?

Hello my little butterflies,

Blog Subject: Perfume Vs. Body Mist for school/ classes.
Which is better to wear for school?

When I wake up in the morning I get showered up and pretty for the school day put on the traditional deodorant and then I reach for a scent to spray on my body and I go back and fowards from Body mist and perfume. When I was in high school lets just say kids didnt always smell good in the small closed rooms you forced to sit in for 60 minuets. So your first instinct is to spray a little extra for that smelly kid next to you. Once you stepped into the classroom your classmates would space back and go woah what department store did you walk through this morning? So as a sophomore you learn what not to do from your freshmen year. So when I was a sophomore I asked for a Body mist for my birthday and Christmas to wear to school and I would wear it every day except for the days I dressed in nice tops and had the heals on, I would spray the expensive perfume I saved my pennies for. When i was a junior i would go every other day back and fowards and as a Senior I told myself Silvia you are an adult now you should wear perfume ever day.

So here are some questions you should ask your self before you decide Mist or Perfume


-Will it be hot today?
-Will I have a big class today? (you dont want to suffocate others with perfume)
-Will I have an Athletic Class today? (gym, weight training, Aerobics, etc.)
-My clothes today are they casual? (sometimes i went in pjs)

If you answered yes to any of these questions you wanna go with a Body mist.




-Is today a cold or decent weather day?
-Am I wearing something dressy and sophisticated?

If you said yes to those two question then Perfume is open for wearing.




You never want to wear perfume on a hot day because the smell is usually too strong for your self and others around you plus you dont want bugs coming after you from your strong sweet smelling self.

If you have big classes that day you don't want to sit in the room with this strong scent that can give someone with strong allergies a headache, plus a big class means extra body heat causing the classroom to heat up and its just a miserable feeling trust me.

If you have an athletic class that day you want to be able to spray some body mist when you are all done with the class so you can smell fresh after, some schools dont allow showers after class for the simple reason of not enough time. So applying perfume again may be too much and a waste of an expensive bottle im sure. *sometimes if you apply perfume in the morning, if you can find a body mist that goes well with the perfume you can apply the body mist later combining the left over perfume creates a nice smell. I like combining Bella Bilara(Mary Kay) and coconut passion(Victorias Secret)

If your wearing a casual outfit its always good to wear a nice body mist or soft perfume never dress up a casual outfit with perfume unless your going somewhere were you need to dress up your outfit a little.

Well my love buttons I hope my advice helped you choose the right thing before you head to class if you need advice for good perfumes for school send me an email SilviaKlopez90@gmail.com

Silvia's advice: online dating.

Hello my love angels,
So over the weekend I was sent this really awesome and sweet letter from a girl name Alli and she is a 15 year old reader who found my blog by searching friendship advice and thats back when i was having a little friendship problems (which im going through again) and didnt get the full intake of what i wrote but still got the feel of what it was about. So she sent me this cute email saying how she admired my blog and all the advice and rambles i do on here. i was thinking oh im getting views but not many and i should just give up on bloggin and go back to my silly facebook notes but when i seen that people do read my blog, like my advice and rambles, and reviews why should i quit? i dont need 400 followers to keep writing plus not everyone signs up for blogspot they just google and stumble across random bloggers. so thank you Alli i will continue writing blogs and i will try and answer all your questions through out the month of september that is my goal.

Blog subject: online dating.
So question number one was what are your views on online dating, have you ever dated anyone online?


I found this question to be perfect timing my close friend just recently met a guy online and im not sure if its official but it sure sounds like it to me but they are a couple and thing is he lives far so its a online relationship. he truly is a sweet guy to her. so when i got this question i was like...*Chelsea are you sending me a message from a new email in disguise? but as the email went on i knew it wasn't her.
So here is my view,

I think online dating is more complicated than dating someone who lives a couple miles away. Reasoning being you dont get to know them personally like i make funny faces when i pronounce certain words the guy im talking too would never know that and that right there could be one thing he loves and adores about you. you will never know if he or she is lying to you about something because your so far away. He or she can tell you they are going to work when they really are going out with a bunch friends doing stuff they promised to stop doing. Not that, that can't happen with a local relationship but its easier to spot if he is local rather than long distant.

I know you are thinking well a lot of those answers are based on not trusting him or her. well that brings me to my next reason you can't always trust someone you met online. It sucks to have to say that because you have those rude, mean, and sick people out there that take advantage of the internet and peoples trust and lie about who they are. So girls and guys dont fully trust that person till you know they are legit. Don't let the good words fool you.

Have I ever had a online relationship?
Yes I have. I have had 2 relationships and one was horrible and the next was such a dream but i quickly snapped out of the dream. My first online relationship was with a boy named cody and he was sweet and kind said all the right things i was 14 and naive he was a year older and lets just say after 2 months he was ready to do things i didnt want to do. I think you know where im going with this. I stopped any kind of contact with the guy before it got any worse and he contacted me again from none other than a juvenile jail campus. He was caught with drugs and alcohol and crashed a bike that was stolen. I had nothing to say to him i simply said well thats what you get and deleted my email/screen name so he could never contact me again.

Months later I met someone new by the name of Jon and he was the sweetest guy ever i had my gaurds up at first but as months went by i slowly let them down. only thing is i went by a different name and made myself a year older just for the sake that i was scared of him looking for me. (I as well did this for cody but i used a different name from the name i used for jon) i used my confirmation name. I stayed up till early hours of the morning, if i wasnt in school i would stay up till the sun rose and he was an hour ahead of my time. Jon told me great stories of his life and i told him mine. he was always there for me when i had problems and as i was for his. we exchanged the i love you after 5 months and talked for 2 years. I on the other hand was the bad guy in this situation and started talking to guys in my area i was social with alot and i was "involved" with them i dont want to say relationship with them because they all ended badly and its a experience im not ready to talk about. He some how found out and did the same thing and we slowly grew apart and started living our own lives. Month later we started talking as friends and thats all we are now. Now he has been sent off for training and will be sent off to iraq sometime after christmas. So now i plan to still email him and it can be my own little personal Dear Jon.

So My view on online dating? it can work for people who are down right serious about it and who are 100% faithful and know the other is 100% faithful. Just remember not everyone has Clean paws someone always has a bad record somewhere. dont let your gaurds down too fast cause you might get a cody, but if your patient and you wait you might get a Jon.

I hope my story of experiance help some of you out there. some may feel different about the situation. i mean some people do meet their soul mates and get married and have a family but some do get caught in a sticky situation and end up well you know...i love you all PLEASE! be safe if your going to online date dont give any personal information out till your ready to trust them and more than 2 people know about this online friend. Always tell someone if your online dating. dont ever keep it a secret its not good...trust me.

I love you all soo much thank you Alli for your super sweet email, you encouraged me to write more blogs. Join blogspot so i can follow you and you can start writing about your life and advice for girls your age. you can write your experience through high school. I promise to answer your questions maybe two a week or one a week. how ever many it is they will all be answered.

one more quick thing. if your going to have an online relationship don't drop your life to be online 24/7. you still have friends that want to hang out and need your attention as well. just because you have this online boy doesnt mean the world stops. as much as the feeling is unexplainable and thats all you want to do is talk to him. you still have family and friends to communicate with dont leave them hanging. but also have fun enjoy the fun butterflies.

Blog Question: Have your ever dated online? how did it work out? If you haven't would ever consider dating online?
