Two Years and We're Evolving

March 31, 2016

There was a point on the blog when I would just talk about the weather in every post. I would remark about how hot it was or how the spring and autumn time are my favorite time of year. Now that I think about it, the weather talk was small talk with my blog. It was my blog and I getting to know each other. With two years since Nada Más Que Amor launched, there is still a lot that'll be evolving through time. There is still a lot that my blog and I need to know about each other, but with every post marks a step forward and it's special.

From talking about the weather and nothing more, to mini-notes of inspiration and lesson of the day. I'm pretty happy to see how far Nada Más Que Amor has got in the span of two years. With evolving outfit posts, DIYs, and fun random posts, the blog began to feel like home. I'm happy with the way everything is turning out, and how much the blog and I are evolving together.

Why everything feels like a mess

October 6, 2015

One day you look at yourself in the mirror and ask, "How did I turn out this way? How did I get myself into this? How did I get so much on my plate?"

I'm here to bluntly tell you, "Unfortunately, you made your life this way. You chose this route. You asked for it, so you get what you asked for."

I'm sure you must be baffled by the idea that you're the reason behind your life choices. Well, honey, you are. No one really has the ability to make choices for you since it's your body and your mind that accepts these given options.

Sometimes I feel like I have too much on my plate and ask myself, "How did it all turn out like this? How did I get myself into it?" and that is when I just sit back and ask myself the same questions from a different perspective, "Why did I choose this route? Do I really want this? Do I really want a billion things piled up on my plate? What do I want?"

What do you want?

Do you want to live an exciting life filled with color and perspective? To feel those nervous jitters every time something new and brilliant comes up? or do you want a smooth mellow life filled with pastel colors and sweet smiles? To have a peaceful day by the beach or to stay in with a cup of tea and a good book?

All you have to do is to ask for it. If you're not satisfied with what you have, ask for something better. If you're struggling with too much then ask for some peace and more free time for some you-time. And if your life feels too dull, then ask for that pop of color to brighten your days, and shining lights to light up your nights. It's as simple as that.

I went with an all black outfit that day, and decided to add a pop of color with the necklace and my turquoise blazer that hasn't seen the light in AGES! It's been locked up in my closet for months, that poor thing.

That day was a good day and I remember it well. It was a day of many meetings and a good luncheon. It was the day when color came strolling in after a tedious week of numbness work.

Live in color, my loves, and stay beautiful!

All Black by the Sea | Blogmas

December 20, 2014

I live on a tiny island and I barely shoot outfit photos by the sea. Well, that's probably because the sea is no where near me, okay that's a lie. There is a little sandy-rocky sea side about 7 minutes away from where I live, but do I like taking photos there? Alone? With people staring at me? Wondering what I'm doing, why I'm taking photos of myself, alone?

Honestly, I don't mind taking outfit photos on my own. It's really fun, and it gives me complete freedom on how I handle camera and I can take my time. But my only issue is the staring, the cat calling, and the risk of stalking. So I must resort to letting other people – like family members and good friends – to take photos of me.
