Current favourites

I should have written this post earlier this week, but winter is back and I am feeling under the weather. Big time. Ugh. But today I was finally able to put some music, clean my room, and now do this. So let's get into it before my muse leaves me again!


At the end of February, while watching some youtubers' favourites videos, I realized that I had some things that could be interesting to share. They are a bit random to be honest 馃槀

Clothes
This autumn/winter/first days of spring I've been living on this outfit. I change the shoes from uggs, to Dr. Martens or converse depending on the weather and where I am going, but the rest is the same.
I got the sweatshirt last summer when I went to Primark for the first time ever (we don't have it where I live). I bought it just because at that time the girls from The Lineup were wearing some pieces with nasa logos, and I liked that trend (I've seen it a lot on instagram lately). It is a bit big for me, but so warm! I never thought that such an impulsive purchase would end up being this good haha
The jeans were a "gift". My cousin bought them for her, but she/they made a mistake with the sizes, and she gave them to me. They are from the brand Just Female (never heard of it until now. Probably because it is a bit expensive), and they are amazing! They are blue denim, but very dark (sometimes it looks black), and so soft and warm even though they aren't that thick! They also are very high waisted, which is the thing I like the most about them. I can wear them without a belt (something I can't normally do with jeans), and when you tuck your shirt onto them, it doesn't go anyway when you sit and then get up. That has saved my life everytime I've wore them to go watch my town's football team. No cold on my back! 馃榿 Bad thing about them: no pockets on the front, just tiny ones. And I need pockets!


Tv shows
I said to myself that this season I wasn't going to start new shows, remember? Not happening 馃槀 
The new show I recently started is Riverdale. I read about it once on Just Jared and I was like meh... But then a friend started watching it, and she was loving it. Same as the cousin I mentioned earlier. She says it is the perfect mix of drama and mistery. So I gave it a try, and it has become on one of my favourite shows right now, because I barely pay attention to my phone while watching it 馃槀
So far, I think my favourite character is Veronica. Because we share name? Probably. But she also gives some some Blair Waldford vibes I've missed a lot. The rest... they are ok. But Archie and Betty look like Stefan Salvatore and Sharpay Evans little siblings. Especially him!



Music
Regarding music, there isn't anything new. I keep listening to the same djs while I wait for 30 Seconds to Mars to release new music. My current favourite songs are from Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix. Oh surprise!! 馃槀 Calvin's new song, "Slide", puts me on such a good mood! And "Scared to be lonely" isn't doesn't make me scream while singing like "In the name of love", but I still love it.
Besides those songs, I've also been loving MTV Dance, the tv channel. I watch it through satellite signal (I believe it is French), and I put it while doing other things, like washing the dishes. So far, no casualties while dancing and cleaning 馃槀

Food
This a bit random, but I am living my childhood again through cookies 馃槀 
The first ones are called "galletas pr铆ncipe", and they have chocolate. I've been eating them since I was a kid, and they are sooooo good! Everytime I want to eat something and don't know why, I eat one of those. The others are called "dinosaurus". I've also been eating them since I was a kid, and they are what I eat most days during this meal we have in Spain called "merienda" (between lunch and dinner). There is one, that has like little dots, and I've always found it tastier than the rest when they are all made of the same. I am weird, ok? 馃槣 And a little tip: if you eat them, have something to dring close to you.
I don't know if you can buy them outside Spain, but if you can't, you are missing amazingly good cookies. 


Fitness
And last but not least, something to burn those cookies haha: yoga. I never thought I would be into it, but I tried it because my back and neck hurted a lot (I still don't know how to do crunches), and it has been amazing. I've been doing these beginners videos for a month now, and I've noticed such a big difference! My back doesn't hurt as much as before, especially the day before I do my work outs, and I feel more flexible! 
I try to do this routine everyday, and the days I also do pilates, once I've finished. It is the best way to stretch and calm your muscles. At first I got bored while doing it, because I am too used to my pilates videos where you don't stop moving and there is music playing, but once I saw the results, I learnt to like it.
This video is just part 1. Here you can check 2 and 3

Current Favourites

Such a new and inspiring post! Haha But I wanted to talk about some things, and I felt like I didn't have enough information or opinions to make a proper post. So I decided to do a current favourites post! 


  • Long skirts and dresses
For the past two years (maybe three), I've been obssesed with long skirts and dresses. And this summer I've finally started wearing them. They are so nice for those days when you need to go out and your legs aren't looking the best! (Like when you are lazy and don't want to shave xD)
I have two long skirts and two dresses. One of the dresses is a navy stripy one from the market in my town, and the other one is this one from H&M but in black.


About the skirts, one is my made by my mum. Last year (or the year before) I couldn't find a skirt that I liked, and she made it. It is like this one.


And the other skirt is this one Zoella wore in one of her vlogs. When I saw it  I really liked it, but I thought it would be really expensive, but then I saw another YouTuber wearing it and I decided to search it. Turns up it is from Pull & Bear and it costs just 10€! The fabric isn't the best, but it is really soft, and the opening is more comfortable than it looks. (Link to the skirt)



  • "Stranger things"

Yes... I also watched "Stranger things". If you spend time on the internet and tumblr, you've probably heard about it. It is a Netflix original show set in the 80's where a kid dissapears, and his family and friends start looking for him. But there are supernatural things involved! 
I watched it with my sister and my dad, and even though we tried to make it last (it is just 8 episodes), we couldn't. We needed to know more! My favourite character was Dustin. He was the best xD And Eleven was also really cool too. 
Apart from the plot and the characters, one of the things that attract the most about the show is the aesthetic. If you have lived on the 80's or just like that time, there are a lot of references to movies, like "The Goonies" or "E.T.". My dad also said that the music kind of reminded him of "Tron". That makes the show really special.
I don't know if there is gonna be a season 2, but I need it. How can they leave us like that? :O


  • Alex H酶gh Andersen's instagram
He is the guy who plays adult Ivar on "Vikings". And these days I am obssesed with his Instagram. He is the one posting the most about the filming of "Vikings" season 5, and even though we still haven't finished season 4 and there might be spoilers, I follow it because I need to know xD And he is really cute, I am not gonna lie. 
The other day I saw a pic of Harry Styles with short hair and I thought he looked like Alex. I am really weird with these things, so it is ok to think that I am crazy and that they don't look alike. At all xD



  • Martin Garrix
I watched his live set on Tomorrowland two weeks ago (via live stream), and since then I've been listening to his music non stop. I've liked him since "Animals", but right now I am obssesed with him. And, besides making amazing music, he is so cute! I don't know if I want to cuddle him or marry him. Or both xD
This is his new single, "In the name of love". My sister says that it sounds like the song from Haribo xD (And yeah, he is the guy who looks like Griezmann!)





  • The Michalaks
The Michalaks are my favourite youtubers right now. And they are the only ones I am up to date with xD
They are Hannah, Stef and Grayson (the little one), and they do dailyvlogs, though they upload them all together in a big one on Sunday’s instead of one each day.
Hannah was a beauty blogger (and she still is), but when Grayson was born, she and her husband decided to start filming their lives and do family video diaries so Gracie could watch them when he is a grown up. 
I discovered them thanks to Zoella, and since then I’ve been a fan of their videos. The quality is AMAZING. Stef’s editing skills are always on point, each week the videos are better and better. And the content is so good as well! I always find myself smiling through the whole video, they are family goals. Seriously, one day I want to have a family like theirs. You can see how much Hannah and Stef they love each other without being cheesy or anything like that, and that Graicie is the happiest child in the world and that he is really loved. Seeing him smile or laugh is precious. Right now he is learning to speak, and he says the funniest things xD
If you are looking for something pretty and nice to watch, something to brighten your days, check their videos. They are worth it.
I am linking this vlog from when they went to Iceland, one of my favourites.





And I think that's all for today's post! I could say that the Olympic Games are also among my favourites, (I even have a calendar to know what to watch everyday) but we just started. So we'll see how things go!
