Also... A Few New Things Around Here

Now that I am not working like a slave have some time on my hands, I've gone back to the good 'ol days of being obsessed committed to blogging. Don't get me wrong, this is what I love 'yo. So because I've been "working" here again. I've added a few things, removed some others, and I'm here to let you know all about it.

First things first, I finally deciphered how to use feedburner, WHEW! It feels good. So basically now you can subscribe to my blog via e-mail. YAY!


Where the red arrows are, just in case you missed them.

Thanks to those of you, who answered to my demented tweets while I was learning/figuring it out. Besides that, I finally got to post my blog button. Feel free to grab it, I know some of you already have [and you are awesome]. What I want to do is look around for everyone's buttons and add them to a different page, sort of like a tab [that I will create] for buttons. But meanwhile I will have them up here in the main page. So hit me up if you wanna exchange botones buttons.

Thanks girl for showing me how to do it :)

And another great milestone that I achieved today [I'm a bit on the dramatic side, huh?] was creating my own favicon. What's that? Well it's the little heart you now see besides the name of the blog on your browser.

Photobucket
LOL. No need to see my tabs.

Seriously, I felt so accomplished. I've been wanting one ever since I saw it on her blog and learned that bloggers could have that too. I found out what it was called and how to do it and is as easy as 1-2-3. Literally. The only sad thing is that I found out a bunch of "web designers and blog designers" charging even $10 for doing this!!! Com'on people, let's help each other out, isn't it easier to just put the instructions on your blog? Sigh...

Other minor changes and tweaks I did was remove my Polyvore badge. And of course now this lady here's making me wanna go back to being majorly hooked there. We'll see. I  am running out of synonyms for also, joined a community called Blogs by Latinas, it's a directory of blogs, by female Latin writers. AWESOMENESS. I added the button to my blog as well, and not to be redundant, but I also created it. I strongly recommend browsing through there, and if you fit the profile, join!

And now, to what really matters the most....YOU GUYS! I updated my blog roll. Now, if for some reason, I erased someone, and you'd like to be added back. LET ME KNOW. If you are not there, but you'd like to be, LET ME KNOW. If you are on the list, but you wished to be removed, LET ME KNOW [hey! you never know].

Be sure to scroll down that list, there's a lot of new people. Even some IRL friends of mine have opened up their own blogs. So look, look, look. Have fun.

I think that's it for now, loveys.

Kisses XOXOXO

Also.... jajaja just kidding!

Awards and Shotouts

I got an award YAY!!!!! [Ok, make that 2] Lovely Meagan from Megs7827 gave me the Honest Scrap award.



The award is to honor those who write from the heart. The rules state that I should tell you 10 things about myself you don't already know and then pass it on to 10 bloggers of note.

Talk about timing. After I had just finished writing my "100 Truths About Me" post, I suddenly need to come up with 10 more! Holy Jesus! But, apparently I was still on that mindset, and was able to do it all in one day. Wheew.

10 More Things You Don't Know About Me:

1. One of my favorite snacks is crackers with butter and cheddar cheese on top.



2. Back home, my room was painted lime green, bright orange, blinding yellow, and vibrant blue.
3. I had restylane injected on my lips once.
4. I always went to private school. One Baptist, one Presbyterian, and the other two were Catholic.
5. One of my favorite artists of all time is Joan Miro.



6. I own over 15 bathing suits. Which I obviously don't wear anymore thanks to the weather!
7. I hate ironing. I don't do it. EVER. If something needs to be ironed, the honey does it. At home, my dad did it. But, I'm considerate, so I don't buy clothes that need ironing.
8. My hair on my head doesn't grow. For real!!! It's been that length for like the past three years. However, I need to shave my legs everyday!
9. I'm the most allergic person on the planet. I'm allergic to cats, hair dye, sea food. And many other things  that doctors have never been able to identify.
10. I absolutely hate the feeling of wet hair on my back or shoulders.

And now, I pass this award to...

1. Lilu from LivitLuvit
2. Lisa from Just Lisa, No Filler
3. Liz from It's Unbeweavable!
4. Nic from Pinknic's Planet
5. Brown Girl from Brown Girl Blogs
7. The Novelista Barista from The Novelista Barista DUH!
8. Robyn from Fashionista 514
9. Jess from Du Wax Loolu
10. Mayra from life is BANANAS.

And Deanne from Dream Sequins gave me The Fancy Pants award. I love this!!! The honey always calls me smarty pants. LOL! Anywhozers, I am giving this award to:




1. Kelly from Lions, Tigers and Fashion OH MY!
2. Hanh from Life in Travel
3. Maegan from ...love Maegan

Love your blogs peeps!! Keep it up. Also, I want to take this moment to mention two other awards that I've earned in the past, and I'm pretty sure I didn't mention them. I really don't know [can't remember]. But I probably didn't cause I was a newbie and didn't know eff about this whole biz. The lovely Sierra from OceanDreams gave me the Blog Lovin' Award and Gerri Ward from Shoes From Around the Globe gave me the Butterfly Blogger Award. These two are amongst my favorite bloggers. I seriously love them and their blogs, so go check them out. I've always had the picture of the awards on my sidebar, and they link back to them, but just in case, yaneverknow.

She has some particular pieces with tons and tons of crosses on them and you all know how obsessed I am with those. Anyway her blog is what I wore here and what I wore there, with some posts about pieces that inspire her! Don't waste another second and go see it NOW.

#12. The Novelista Barista I love this sweet girl. Her comments always make me happy, just like a cup of coffee sans the huge headache. But who can resist coffe anyway? I love her blog, makes me feel like I'm chillaxing at Starbucks.

Did I mention she looks vintage herself??!?! She's amazing
