Day #1 of "Wedding Bootcamp"

This week I decided to start on my workout regimen and on my eating healthier diet. Back in high school and pretty much throughout my whole life I was super skinny, I would eat McDonalds all the time and pig out whenever I felt like it without having to worry. Fast forward to when I turned 21 and I started noticing my belly was growing :/ With my wedding insight I know it's time to stop being lazy and to start my so called "wedding bootcamp"! My arms and legs are fine, I just need to lose some belly and overall tone my body up. This week I'll post what I ate and what exercises I did and hopefully this will motivate somebody else to start their diet :) I decided that having a picture on what you envision also helps you stay on track, so this is one of the wedding gowns I fell in love with, if I keep my dedication high hopefully I'll be able to purchase it and look fabulous in it, in no time! :)

Isn't it gorgeous?! It's designed by Lazaro.

What I ate: Breakfast-Chai tea w/creamer and sugar(not too healthy but I'm addicted!)

Lunch- From McDonalds-Chipotle Grilled snack wrap & Apple dippers w/caramel.

Dinner-Steamed rice, vegetables, and grilled chicken.

Workout: 30 mins of cardio in my room(go on youtube there are tons of vids about this), and some sit ups. And don't forget to stretch!

This week I also started taking the SlimQuick 7 Day cleanse pills which are supposed to make your body get rid of all the toxins and it also helps speed up your metabolism. I'll weigh myself at the end of the week and let you gals know if I did in fact lose weight or if I feel like my stomach got cleansed.

I'm engaged! :D

Yes it's true, he finally popped the big question last saturday night, the day after our anniversary. I had suspected he might ask me but I didn't think he would do it that night, so I was clueless at the time it happened. We had dinner at http://www.velvetmargarita.com/ (if you're in so. cal, definitely check this place out it's awesome!!! & the food is delicious), anywho I had invited some friends and family to go and have food and drinks with us, and I was feeling pretty tipsy lol. So we're waiting for our food and I notice everyone start acting strange(pulling out their cameras, moving the table back), so I say "what's going on!?, then I turn to look at Ish and he looks super nervous and he pulls out a box, omg! omg! lol , he gets down on his knee and he says "Mayra we've been together for 6 years already and I wouldn't change them for anything in the world. I love you and I know you're the one for me, I think it's time for us to take the next step, will you marry me?!" at this point I'm already crying my eyes out, so I hug him for what seems like forever telling him over and over I love you, I love you. Then I remember oh yea there's other people here haha, so I say yes of course I'll marry you, he puts on the ring and wow! It's gorgeous! lol I was so happy at that point I didn't even want to eat, I just wanted to stare at my ring all night long (which I did) lol.

I was in disbelief lol

Here's the ring.

I just wanted to share my story with you gals, we're already planning out the wedding one step at a time, we want a dia de los muertos themed wedding sometime next year:) Oh and fyi he told me he had already spoke to my mom and dad like 2 weeks before proposing and they both gave him their blessing and said they would support us 100% aww.

P.S. I entered this wedding contest to have our dream wedding, please vote for us! :)

Today is my 6 year anniversary with Ish!
What started off as a friendship led to love. We have grown together so much over the years and I know one day I will able to tell our kids about our history together. I love you babe!!
I made a slide show of some of the pictures over the years :)

Tonight we're going to a japanese restaurant for dinner and afterwards to a hot tub woo hoo :)
Tomorrow night we're going out with a bunch of friends to celebrate again!

Bangin' out!

This past weekend was my good friend Edlyn's birthday! Sidestory: Edlyn and I have been friends since 6th grade(even though we initially hated each other lol), throughout high school we became best friends and inseperable. Come senior year I end up liking her brother & surprisingly enough she was ok with it, fast forward 6 years(exactly!) and she is still my good friend as well as my future sister in law. We refer to each other now as sisters :) She is hilarious and even though our friendship has had some downs, at the end of the day I love her and she will always be a part of my life :) soo with that said Happy Birthday Ed! I love you sissy in law!

Senior Year of high school, class of 04 baby!
We went to a local hole in the wall bar so I decided to wear a simple black top with a zipper that kept unzipping lower and lower throughout the night lol. (btw I hate my chest I seriously want a reduction!!) My makeup consisted of a smokey eye(gold and black) and nude lips. Here are some pictures of the makeup even though my bangs totally covered my eyeshadow, bummer. I usually wear my bangs to the side but for that night I decided to bang out!! lol

First haul post

This is my first haul post and I want to start doing these more often, school starts next week so hopefully I'll have spare time to do more posts. Most of these things I purchased online so it's easy for you gals to find them.

I've been wanting some nude pumps for a loooonggg time, & I found these really cute ones at a good price. They're actually comfortable and look super cute! (http://www.cutesygirl.com/)

I love this cardigan because of the color of it (coral) it would look super cute with a plain white tee, and some jeans. (http://www.forever21.com/)

I love skirts even though I hardly wear them :/ But they're one of my favorite wardrobe pieces, this one isn't too short so it's perfect to wear with heels. (http://www.forever21.com/)

Found these shoes and I had to have them, Ish has some similar ones and we like to match our shoes every once in while. cheesy I know! :p (http://www.forever21.com/)

Forever21 has a cute line called "Rocker Babes with a twist" and I had to get these things! I love the whole rockabilly style, so these were must haves for me!

Cute owl necklace that also serves as a locket, and I found this awesome ring that goes on two fingers at once, I'll be doing a post on jewelry soon :) (both from http://www.forever21.com/)

Last but not least I've been needing a wallet and I found this one that matched my juicy couture purse. I absolutely love it! It also serves as a clutch. (Found this one on ebay)

P.S. Hello to all my new followers!! :) If you guys would like for me to post more on something specific let me know :)

Sexy Pictures for your lover <3

Valentine's day is coming up and some of you ladies may be looking for an idea on what to give your man(or woman I don't judge ;D) as a gift. This past christmas I thought to myself what can I give to Ish as a gift, I wanted to give him something unique and something he would appreciate. What better than some sexy pictures of yourself, if you're in a commited relationship and you trust your partner than this would be a great surprise and something to spice up your love life ;). Grab your girls and make a date out of it! Here's some advice as well as some of the pictures I took for my honey. Hope you learn a little something.

Tips:

1. Buy some sexy lingerie, grab some of his button up shirts, his jerseys, or wear his favorite team colors.

2. Go all out with your makeup. Wip out that red lipstick you never wear, and put on some fake lashes.

3. Relax!, drink some wine with your girls and let loose ;)

4. Have some good lighting, when taking pictures lighting is everything. Have someone hold a lamp and aim it in your direction.

5. Wear high heels! Heels make your legs look longer and they do wonders for your tush.

6. Play some music. Channel your inner Sasha Fierce while posing for the camera.

7. Last but not least: Have fun!! & take turns taking pictures of each other :)

A really great editing program (which is 100% free) is photoscape, google it and download it to your computer. You can add really cool effects, and sexify yourself even more. Have the pictures developed at your local Target or CVS, Buy a cute album and put all of the pictures in there. & TA-DAH! Super cheap & he'll love it!! :)

Thank me later ladies! lol :)

New Year, New Look!

Hey dolls, yes finally a new blog post I promise to start doing these more often! If you follow me on twitter than you probably already know that I ended 2009 by chopping off most of my hair!! If you personally know me then you know what a huge deal that was for me, I was so proud of my super long hair and after much convincing(from my boyfriend) I decided to go for a new edgier look so off to Brenda I go. She was so excited when I told her to chop it off lol as though I had just told her she won $100 dollars haha! Anywho I'm glad I did it, I loved the outcome, but sometimes I wish it was just a wig lol I get bored soo easily by my hair, but I'll learn to make the best of it :)

Side Note: If you live in So. Cal Brenda is an amazing hair stylist!! So if you ladies or men are looking for a good hair cut/style let me know. Holla :p

So since I got this new haircut I've been emphasizing on my eyes with makeup, & today I was wearing this turquoise/beige top so I decided to do something similar on my eyes. It's super easy to do & if you don't have the exact same products improvise ladies. Hope you gals like it!!
