Ramblings, changes and new image

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Well, well, well...it seems like I can't keep up with posts more than a week!! Even when I carry my computer everywhere and I keep taking pictures of everything. And yes, I've been busy with work and tired, because when have I not been busy and tired since the beginning of 2013? but now I have 1h and 1/2 of train distance to cover to go to work and the same on the way back. I don't have the "no time to blog" excuse. 


Oh, haven't I told you? We couldn't find and apartment in Geneva and our contract was over at the end of August, so we had no choice and now we live in the Canton of Fribourg in a small town where Deni had an empty apartment. Basically we live at the end of the world from my job at Geneva's airport. Hence, the extra train time for me every day.  Just so you know I'm someone completely used to live no more than 20 min away from anything and anywhere both in Madrid and during the past three years in Geneva. So it's been such a challenge for me to adapt to everything. 


This past week I've gone to bed around 22h every day and that's like extremely weird for me. More if I add that if I could I'd go straight to bed as soon as I get home. My body is so tired and lazy these days, but my brain would shut down and makes me have nightmares and wake up 3 times every night for no reason. No wonder I wake up tired, having this battle with myself every night!


Now, one thing that I'm enjoying so much about all this is the extra time with myself every day and the view from the train window while I listen to my favourite uplifting mood songs. 



When looking at everything as a whole, life is not that bad. We've been through lots of changes and more downs than ups...but we are still there so I guess that counts for something.

Talking about changes, have you notice something looking so good in my blog lately? =D
Finally I decided that I want to go somewhere with my blog and the best way to go back to blogging was a make over. New,name, new image. I wish I could say I'm the talented person behind this design but oh dear, I'm not.  The artist is no other that Kristen from KV's confessions. I've been following her for a while and I not only think that she is gorgeous inside and out, but extremely talented. I knew that if I ever wanted someone to perk up my blog, it'll be her. She was easy to work with, very patient and did exactly what I asked for. Also, I think her rates are quite fair and that's important when you are in a budget like me. 

She just started her dream job so go to her blog and say "coucou" from me. If you want a blog make over, you won't find better.

Monday quotes

I relate to both of these quotes, tho I'm not quite sure if they actually complement or contradict each other...What do you think?

On a side note I'm extremely happy with my little blog lately.
Thank you very much to the new readers and all those who comment!!
I'm thrilled because there is more much interaction between us =)
And is good to know that so many people go around without watch,
that I'm not the only one with a sleeping disorder
and that what I called "ear warmers" is actually called "earmuffs"
(You will never go to sleep without learning something new)

And you know what would be even more exciting?
if we could start the "advertising" in my blog going.
I'm advertising myself in bigger blogs and I will continue to do so in the new year to come,
and that means good news to you if you decide to advertise with me.
Prizes are quite reasonable, so please check it out.
You would make me a happy girl!!

Random facts about me


There are a few weird things I do when Deni is not in Geneva. I don't know why but I seem to procrastinate more than usual. And some times I would lose track of time...

But that might still happen when he is around, so I'm not sure if there is a direct relation.
Yet, there are two remarkable changes in my sleeping behaviour when he is out of town:

1) I would watch any show or movie until I'm almost falling sleep, no matter how tired I am or how late it is.
2) Once I'm exhausted and I'm ready to turn on the computer,I'll place it in Deni's side of the bed...

I don't know if my brain is trying to fill in the empty space or I am just lazy...anyhow it seems as if Deni's absence translates in some sleeping disorder for me.

The good news? He is going away the 1st of January 2013 for two months and a half to do an intership...

sleeping disorder eh?
Challenge accepted !! =P

Anniversary Dinner!

Yesterday (tuesday) was our first year annyversary...

It's seems like it's been forever and at the same time not that long since we started together.

We've been extra sweet with each other all month.
 Monday he cooked me a delicious dinner and yesterday was my turn.

Pinterest helped me to be a little bit creative...

Ich liebe...Oktober!!

I can´t believe we are already half way through October!! Time is going way too fast!!

I've been working a lot. Like ALWAYS.
And I've been exhausted. Like ALWAYS too.

But I'm actually liking October a lot.
For many things.

One. I've started my German course and so far so good...I'm quite excited!



Two. I'm loving deeper colors on my lips, specially berry colors...



Three. Octobre c'est le mois de l'amour pour nous. Our story didn't have an easy start (mostly because of me. Bad timming I would say) and one year ago, in October the Miracle happened <3

(When I smile too much I look like an old wrinkly lady)

Bonne semaine à toutes et à tous!

Me, Myself & I Link up party!

I found this link up today and thought it was really fun so here we go!



Questions:

1. When you are feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?
In no specific order: eat, sleep, hug my boyfriend, high volume music, crying...yes,     crying!because sometimes you just need to let yourself go a bit to come up stronger!!

2. If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?
When I was little I really wanted to be a princess so I'd say some time in the spledoreus years of the French or English Empire (despite hygene)...but at the same time I love today's technology, so I don't know!

3.What's the most creative halloween costume you've ever worn?
I don't remember a halloween costume, but I have this one from last Carnaval =) (My mom made it. I'm a middle age princess, tho people say it looks like a wedding dress!)


4. Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told?
- I'm really bad at video games
- I'm a complete american TV shows sucker.
- I like to mix french fries and sunday (The mix of hot/cold and Sweet/Salty it is really interesting).
- I remeber certain conversations so well that even after some time I could still tell you what exactly you said and what you were wearing so...watch out! =P
- In other life I probably was a shopaholic. In this life I struggle with the ups and downs of rehab.

5. What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
- To take way more care about our skin. At 24 I'll really appreciate it.
- To worry less about what people at school think or say about me.
- You are actually good at learning foreign lenguages.
- To fall less in love of our b/f at the time. At 23 you'll find a really, really good one =)
- To look less into the past and enjoy more the present.
- Not to want to grow so fast, be crazy and enjoy more being teen.
- It is good to try to be so strong but you have to learn how to deal with pain and to let yourself grieve. It is OK not to be ok.
- Our mother is so particular and we have such a define character that we will always collide. But don't worry, do your thing because it eventually gets better =)

So yeah!Hope you like it!
Go and link up!

Blog Update(Guest post) + Life Update + Pic of the week

Hello, Hello there!

Blog Update
Like you see my blog has gone through some changes lately and there will be more in the future because I'm having really a lot of fun with it!!I'm even daring to touch de HTLM code.

I haven't decided yet what to do with my banner. On the other hand I'm actually loving the button I did!!
Do you like it? GRAB one! <3

I'm also thinking about getting into sponsoring in my blog. I find it so fun, you connect with people and get to know many blogs. Probably I'll be starting this in October, but just as a small experiment I'd like to...
