Drumroll Please

Notice something really different? 

Haircut? No. New handbag? No. Did you get taller? Well, I hope so (one more inch until 5' 8")! 

Okay, I am sure you are tired or guessing, so let's just get to it. Kudos to you if you noticed already!

I am so exited to announce that the new blog design just launched this week and I hope you love it as much as I do. I wanted to improve reader navigation and allow the new design to be brighter and chic. Also, the mobile version has been released for easy reading on-the-go!

While I am on the topic of great news it is a new year with a new pageant system. I am so excited to now hold the title of Teen Miss New York! I am counting down the months to this summer when I will compete at nationals and get to meet all of the other national royalty. I am thrilled to begin making appearances and to be part of such a great pageant family. Preparing for nationals is definitely a long process, but it is extremely rewarding and fun. May the reign begin!

Happiness and Haute Chocolate

I'm a very punctual person leaving me utterly lost without my calendar. My iPhone is like my personal assistant that is constantly reminding me what to do and where to go. I still enjoy writing certain things down though and my 100-day Happiness Planner is the perfect place to do so. Can we just discuss how gorgeous the color of this planner is? I'm very into aqua, so this is right up my alley. It is so cute, and so me. Thanks for the present Mo!

A Day in the Life

Even though you know I love to share my fun weekend adventures, during the week I still endure the typical life of the American teenager. This includes trying to decipher the life game while completing hours and hours of homework simultaneously. College prep school is something else, but I actually love the challenge. Today I thought I would switch it up and give you a brief glimpse of my average weekday routine.


I'm up and moving by six in the morning to get ready for school. I go through my unnecessarily drawn-out process of getting ready which honestly should not take so long. Mind you that I wear a uniform to school, so I really have no excuse here. I waste time by slowly drinking hot tea and just sitting in front of my vanity staring into space contemplating my thoughts. I finally get it somewhat together before grabbing something to eat and heading to escuela.
