Inspiration: Just a Teenage Dirtbag baby...


    Source: Tumblr
Honoring your preferences in every situation is the only way I currently know to find my voice among all those influences trying to get to us. You deserve to have anything in your life the way you wanted, but sometimes it can seem impossible, because of the popularity of the so-called "role models". It seems that to be the one that loves certain celebrity most, you have to copy them and ultimately make them your role model. I personally don't think that love equals imitation. It is possible loving someone and wanting to be your own self as that is exactly what all those "role models" out there are doing. They are just being themselves, and that is exactly the best lesson I can try to teach you this month. 

Ser fiel a mi gusto, en todo momento, es la única forma que a día de hoy conozco para encontrar mi voz entre todas esas influencias que nos rodean. Hay que darse cuenta de algo muy básico: nos merecemos vivir la vida a nuestra manera. Sin embargo, algo que a nivel teórico parece una afirmación evidente, al traspasarlo al plano práctico, tiene un recorrido corto. La popularidad de los "modelos a seguir" está llegando a niveles ridículos en los que la competición por quien quiere más a su ídolo, deja la individualidad en un segundo- o tercer- plano. Personalmente, no creo que querer o mejor dicho, admirar a alguien sea igual a imitar constantemente a esa persona. Yo creo en querer, por supuesto que sí, pero querer sin cambiar quién soy. Precisamente, esos "modelos a seguir" son llamativos por ser ellos mismos y con imitación, no hacemos otra cosa que alejarnos de se seguir su auténtico ejemplo.

 "You deserve to be who you are, so always choose what YOU want"

When I first thought of including all the inspiration boards I normally make and have in my phone or computer in my blog it felt so personal that I knew it was the right choice and the ideal way of facing this new project of mine. I want Shine On to be a reflection of me, Andrea. Since I have so much to choose, from the contents to who I want my contributors to be, I need to go for exactly what I want. Sounds obvious, right? Well,  why we don't we try to do the same and be the editors of our lives?

Cuando me plantee publicar mis "Inspitation Boards", que normalmente están en mi teléfono o en mi ordenador, supe que ese era el camino que quería tomar para "Shine On". En mi mente no cabe otra posibilidad diferente a un reflejo de mi misma. Parece fácil ser editora de un blog, pero cuando eres consciente de la cantidad de decisiones que tienes que tomar, desde los contenidos hasta quiénes quieres que contribuyan en tu proyecto, te das cuenta de que no es así. Así que mi criterio siempre se basa en elegir exactamente lo que quiero. ¿Parece obvio, no? Pues os propongo algo: ser los editores de vuestra propia vida.

HobbyCraft 120ml Multi-Purpose Fabric Glue

  1. Individually glue the studs to the pencil case carefully as the light fabric will slide them and you could mess up easily. you could glue them together or create a design. Be creative. You could sew them if the case material is not too thick and get amazing results too. It is completely up to you!
  2. Let it dry an entire night and add your favorite keychains to make it a bit more rocker chic. I love attaching beauty key chains that have a little real mascara or lip gloss attached. Those are fantastic!! Check out H&M for those ;) 

Do you guys enjoy DIY posts? Do you want me to share my college experience in some posts too? I think it is a great idea!

2 DIYs in 1: Back to school glam keys + Cool Key Necklaces for your sorority

DIY

Hi Dolls! So today's post makes me so so excited! Because I love DIY's so so much and back to school is the best time to share a really cool one with you, my lovely readers!!
This DIY is useful for so many things like:

  1. To recycle your old keys that are not useful anymore, maybe because you changed home or something like that, you can also use your old diary keys to do this DIY or keys from old toys you used to have.
  2. To glam your keys so that you recognize your and run out the door easily in the morning.
  3. To have a cool project to do with your roommate, apartment mates or even with the other girls form your sorority just propose them this cool DIY and they will fall in love with it, plus this will be the perfect time to bond together.
Let's go ahead and get started!!

We need:
  •  keys
  • necklace or chain 
  •  nail polishes including glittery ones to glam up your life ;)
Steps to follow
  1. Paint the upper front part of your key, wait it to dry and do another coat so that the colour really shows up then do the same with the other part of the key. You can do a glittery nail polish coat once it is fully dried.
  2. Add them to your key chain or to the chain to create a cool necklace so that you expand your accessories collection and never loose your keys. Trust me living with other girls it is such a wonderful idea to carry them that easily.
  3. Make your unique add nails sticker to them and cover with clear nail polish or glue rhinestones, remember to just stay creative JUST in the upper part so that you can still use them!!

Hope you guys like it! Let me know in the comments if you like DIYs and what do you think of this one!
