20 Things I Learned About Friendships & Relationships

This post might come off as a little sassy, but we're down. With V-Day right around the corner,  here are 20 things I learned about friendships and relationships:

1. Patience is truly a virtue.

First, let me start off by saying: I am very sorry to anyone who caught me while my patience was running thin. I definitely struggle with possessing patience, but I'm working on it.

2. People throw rocks at things that shine.

When you're in a relationship with a wonderful person, your friends might try to break y'all up because they're jealous. Jealousy is a very ugly trait.

3. There are different types of love. 

And, I love that.

4. Exes are exes for a reason.

Don't stalk them on Instagram and Facebook. As Elsa would say, "let it go." (My mom taught me that one.)

5. Don't go to your ex's work.

It's awkward for everyone. Really. Trust me on this one.

6. If you breakup with a guy, and he asks if you can still make-out on the weekends he's a jerk.

No comment.

7. Don't make promises you can't keep.

It's hurtful for everyone.

8. Jealousy is an ugly trait-- that a lot of people wear.

When you are thriving, friends, even those who you think are your real friends will try to bring you down.

9. If your "real" friend talks bad about other girls to you, she's probably talking bad about you to other girls.

Who knew Mean Girls wasn't just a movie?

10. Love wholeheartedly.

Always. Always. Always.

11. If someone doesn't support your goals, they're not worth your time.

If someone says, you shouldn't-- ignore.

12. Those who can't accept you at your worst don't deserve you at your best.

We all have highs. And, we all have lows. It's important to still love someone through those periods.

13. Don't kiss and tell.

It's no one's business what goes on between you and another human being.

14. Don't fight for someone that you're over.

What's meant to be will be.

15. Say what you want to say.

If you want to tell someone you love them, say it. If you want to tell someone that you want to marry them, say it. If you want to tell someone that you want to move to a new state with them, say it (but also mean it). You never know what you might be missing out on.

16. Most people are good.

Most. Some are crazy.

17. Family is always a true friend.

I can always count on my family.

18. Different people cross your path for different reasons.

I've met people who have encouraged me to do my own thing and follow my own dreams. I appreciate those people and thank God for having them cross my path.

19. Commitment is a choice.

Believe it or not.

20. Loving is living.

Without love, you're not really living. Love is everything and more.


I hope y'all have a wonderful Valentine's day, whether you're celebrating friendships, lovers, or yourself! Stay safe!

Life Hacks To Slay The Spring Semester + Giveaway

The spring semester is in full swing and I am ready to conquer it like no other. And, I want you to be able to slay it in the same fashion. Therefore, I'm sharing some of my favorite life hacks to help you thrive this semester. 

Let's get started:

Make a schedule-- and stick to it.

I love a consistent schedule that is easy to follow. I made this one over winter break. I included when I plan to:

• Eat
• Go to class
• Workout
• Study
• Volunteer
• Wake-up/go to bed
• Laundry

I definitely recommend making a schedule like this one that you can put on or above your desk. Having it easily accessible will encourage you to follow it.

Use a planner.

I am a huge fan of Lilly Pulitzer planners, as they are bright and colorful. However, they also have a lot of space for you to write down all of your assignments and to-dos. If you're a planner addict like myself, you can also purchase a pack of stickers. I love using stickers for birthdays, big assignments, events, etc. 

Get your textbooks!

I recommend purchasing your books from the Barnes & Noble Marketplace. I found 6 of my textbooks for $1.99. (Not sponsored, but I wish it was!)

Clean out your backpack.

Right away, start off the semester with a clean backpack. I cleaned out mine a couple of weeks ago and it was gross! Think: snack wrappers beyond snack wrappers. Ew. I also threw my backpack in the wash to ensure the ultimate level of cleanliness. Don't forget to pack it with your supplies and a girl survival kit!

Be a minimalist with your school supplies.

I take 6 classes; having 6 notebooks and 6 folders is extremely unnecessary, I use 3 folders and a 5-subject notebook. I label my 3 folders:

• Important (Syllabi, mission statements, etc.)
• To Do (Assignments in progress)
• Turn In (Completed assignments)

I've found that this system works great! I then use a 5 subject notebook because one of my classes isn't a heavy note taking class. I'm also thinking about cutting this semester down to a  3 subject notebook, but we'll see!

Make flashcards + put them on your night stand. 

I actually shared this life hack with my social psychology class last semester. Everyone was super impressed! When you're done making flashcards, put them by your bed. You are more likely to go through them before bed if they're within reach. #ChannelFactors

Focus.

Constantly remind yourself of what you're going to school for (and how much money you and/or your parents' are paying for it). Last semester, I felt like I was spreading myself too thin. I wasn't. I was having trouble focusing. My friends were always partying and having fun. I felt out of place not being able to join them. It doesn't matter what other people are doing. It matters what YOU are doing.

Winter Pampering Routine 2019

Definitely not a fan of this cold weather-- but who is? My skin is definitely in need of a warm detox. One that rids hormonal acne and gives me the glow up every girl wants this season. Let's talk about how I pamper myself during this chilly time of year:

A hot bath.

I like to start off my pampering sessions with a warm, luxurious bath. I like to go all out and use a bath bomb and/or other fun tub time potions to make my bath look pretty. Tonight, I'm using this citrus bath oil from Kneipp.

Glow-up body routine.

My glow-up body routine is fairly minimal. I like to start off by exfoliating my body with a scrub from Bath & Body Works or a DIY scrub.

To DIY a sugar scrub I like to use:

• Brown sugar
• Olive oil
• Honey
• Cinnamon 

Then, I shave and follow up with a body wash and an in-shower body lotion. This makes my legs so soft and smooth. 

Face care.

My skincare routine is kind of excessive these days-- I'm not going to lie. I found a Korean skincare routine on Pinterest and I've been following it religiously for the past couple of weeks:

1. Oil cleanser
2. Foam cleanser
3. Exfoliator (Don't forget your lips too!)
4. Essence
5. Serum
6. Sheet mask
7. Eye cream
8. Moisturizer

This routine has changed my skincare. It is so dewy and glowy-- I love it! 

Other bits and pieces.

During my pampering routine, I like to drink lots and lots of water to hydrate my body. While I'm sipping on my water, I like to watch beauty gurus on YouTube or something on Netflix. And, of course, a snack is needed! My go to is popcorn. This makes for the perfect comfy & cozy evening-- especially right before the spring semester starts up.

18 Things That Happened in 2018

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Finals are finally over-- and I'm finally able to submerge myself back into the blogging world. I wanted to kick off the end of the year with a blog post on 18 things that happened in 2018. Usually, I talk about my accomplishments, but the truth is: there are ups and downs. 

Here are 18 things that happened in 2018:

1. I toured some colleges in Florida with my family.

My sister is planning to further her education at Florida Southern College, where she wants to study business and political science. And, I already miss her like crazy.

2. Not only did I experience a concert in the pit, but I experienced Taylor Swift's Reputation tour from that view.

It was one of the most incredible nights of my life. As Taylor would say, it was gorgeous.

3. I also saw Charlie Puth perform.

One word: shirtless. If you ever get the chance to see him in concert, do it! He sounds amazing!

4. I had my first real breakup.

As much as I don't want to discuss this on a public platform, I would like to add it to my list. It happened. And, more importantly, it helped shape who I am today. I am constantly reminded that things happen for a reason.

5. I took my first ever college level science class and got an A.

This one in itself deserves an applause.

6. I made the Dean's List. And the President's List.

Hard work pays off! This past semester I got a 4.0, taking the maximum amount of credits. I've never worked so hard in my life.

7. I found my passion.

I love working with immigrants. I want to be a psychologist for immigrants and help them overcome trauma. I want to help them find themselves. I want to help them self-actualize. I am so passionate about this topic that I am planning on conducting research about immigrants and self-actualization during my senior year at Cabrini University.

8. I hit 120,000 views on my blog.

I know, I know.. my blog has definitely been slacking. But, thanks to y'all, I reached 120,000 views. Thank you so much for your support. (Stay tuned for giveaways in 2019!)

9. I went to Washington, D.C. to advocate for immigration reform.

If there is anything I learned this semester it's to advocate. Advocate for what you believe in.

10. I attended a protest to shut down Berks County Residential Center.

#ShutDownBerks

11. I was inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma.

Did I mention hard work pays off? Always, always, always go the extra mile.

12. I began teaching English as a second language (ESL).

And absolutely love it! I think I would like to pursue this as a career someday.

13. I toured a few small towns in South Carolina.

And, I tasted the most amazing bread-- covered in cheese and butter and Heaven.

14. I adopted a workout schedule and kept with it.

This was definitely on the harder side, but I did it! I found a kick butt workout that really activates your legs and core. I've never loved my body shape so much. #WhatsWrongWithBeingConfident

15. I completed my first year of college, and second, and third.

I have never been so proud of a decision I've made. Cabrini University has given me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to receive anywhere else.

16. I supported my mom at her graduation.

My mom received a certificate for leadership. She continues to be an inspiration to me everyday.

17. My family went to New York and saw Niagara Falls.

Just a mini family vacay, but I enjoyed it. It was nice to get away for a little while.

18. My grandma conquered her cancer treatments.

Above all, my grandma was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of ovarian cancer and she received treatment for it for the past couple of months. To say the least: she rocked it. I couldn't imagine being in her shoes. But, by what I've seen, I can tell you it's extremely difficult. Her will to keep fighting was definitely an inspiration to not only my family, but other members who attended the cancer center. If the world had half as much optimism as she does, this world would be a beautiful place.

My 2018 Christmas Wishlist

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! 

I know it's been quite some time since I posted a blog post. Don't worry; I'm working towards solidifying a set schedule. In this blog post, I'm going to be sharing My 2018 Christmas Wishlist with y'all. The things on my list are definitely a lot more practical than they have been in past years. This year, I'm asking for makeup, skincare, and comfy clothes. 

Out To Lunch Tote by Kate Spade New York

If you know me, you know I love Kate Spade New York designs. I think her designs are so classy and elegant. I've been eyeing up this lunch bag since the summer. Since I'm going to be commuting to college next year, I wanted to invest in a quality lunch bag.

Mountain Classic Anorak by L.L. Bean

Before I went to college, I purchased a cheap rain coat from Kohl's. Don't get me wrong, I love it. However, it doesn't hold up too well when it's raining cats and dogs. I want to invest in a better quality rain jacket that will last me forever.

Conceal & Define Full Coverage Conceal & Contour by Makeup Revolution

I have never loved a concealer as much as I love this one. Not to mention, I'm definitely in need of a new one. I think this will be my third, maybe fourth bottle? #GoBuyIt

Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Ultra Professional Blush Palette by Makeup Revolution

Because of how satisfied I was with the concealer, I wanted to put Makeup Revolution's blushers to the test. These colors are absolutely gorgeous-- aren't they?

Illuminating Fixing Spray by Makeup Revolution

Again, putting Makeup Revolution to the test: I wanted to see if this is comparable to Urban Decay's All-Nighter Setting Spray-- for $8 this would be a steal.

True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation by L'Oreal

Not only am I in desperate need of a new foundation, but I've heard such great reviews about this one. If any of you guys have tried this foundation, let me know what you think! 

Cucumber De-Tox Foaming Cleanser by Peter Thomas Roth

I've been using this cleanser for ages and love it! It has helped even out my complexion without over drying it. 

Green Apple Peel Nightly Brightening Pads by Juice Beauty

I found these brightening pads while browsing Ulta Beauty online. I think they would be so much fun to try out before a big event, like a dance or graduation.

Cabrini University Open Sweatpants

I've had my eyes on these for the past couple of months. I am all about going to class in a comfy, yet cute outfit. These sweatpants will get me through-- plus, who doesn't love school spirit? #GoCavs

Online Only Double Entendre Pressed Powder Shadow Palette by Colourpop

To be honest, I'm not much of an eyeshadow guru. However, I think these shades are natural enough for me to pull off. I also think they're absolutely gorgeous!

Deep Clean Purifying Cleanser and Mask

After a long week, this is my go to solution for banishing breakouts. It draws out all of the gunk from your pores. My pores not only tighten, but my skin looks super glowy. 

L'ORÉAL Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara

Who doesn't love mascara? Rumor has it: this mascara is supposed to be a dupe for the Better Than Sex mascara. And, I, like all other makeup addicts, love this mascara.

Lulu Hat

I have two hats: a Cabrini University one and a monogrammed one. I would love to add to my collection.

Ulta Eye Gels

The perfect addition to any self-care evening. I think these would be so fun to try out!

18 Things I'm Thankful For in 2018

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Don't worry: I know we all have final exams that we need to start studying for and Christmas lists we need to shop for, so I'll keep it short. Here are 18 things that I am thankful for this holiday season:

Bloggers.

For saying what you want, how you want, when you want it. I think it's incredibly brave.

Determination.

For helping me overcome difficult obstacles and go after my dreams.

Peter Thomas Roth Detox Cucumber Cleanser.

For keeping my skin under control-- even when I have two exams and a paper due the next day.

Real friends.

For supporting me and loving me.

The people that stand by me at protests for shutting down detention centers.

I attended a vigil to shut down Berks County Residential Center, a detention center for undocumented immigrants. It was extremely eyeopening. Read more about it here.

Fate.

For bringing me where I am today. I have met so many people who I wouldn't have crossed paths with otherwise. These people have expanded my views and helped shape the person I am today.

Pearl earrings.

For making me look classy even in yoga pants.

Cabrini University.

For giving me a quality education. I love learning and I love experiencing new things.

Sunshine.

Warm, sunny days will forever be my favorite.

My right to vote.

I think it is so important to voice your opinion through taking part in elections. Be the change.

Taylor Swift.

For writing a song that you can relate to at any point in a relationship-- from the honey moon stage to the never ending breakup. #WANEGBT

Language.

Being able to communicate with people is a beautiful thing. (I'm almost done my Spanish minor-- woo hoo!)

Psychology.

Understanding the human mind is an incredible experience. I am currently enrolled in four psychology courses and they are mind blowing. I am always analyzing people in my daily life. (Yes, I know I probably shouldn't do that.)

The ability to help others.

I currently teach English as a second language (ESL) to at risk migrant children and I love how rewarding the work is. Every chance you get to help someone: do it.

Risks.

For teaching me confidence.

Love.

For teaching me that it exists.

Failures.

My dad always told me that one learns more in their failures than they do in their successes. Whether someone walks out of your life or you do poorly on a test, you learn from it. Those failures have taught me how to approach those same situations differently.

My family.

For being incredible. My family has always stood behind me, whether I want to protest an issue, blog about my favorite makeup brands, or pursue a different career path. If it weren't for my family, I wouldn't have been able to grow and develop into the best version of myself.

I wouldn't be:

• Pursuing a college education, studying psychology and Spanish
• Taking part in my college's honors program
• Graduating a year and a half early
• Teaching English as a second language (ESL)
• Running a blog that has 100,000+ views
• Working with 50+ companies
• Being inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma (DES)
• Advocating for immigration reform in the United States
• Growing my confidence

Thank you so much to my family. I couldn't be more thankful for the love and support they give me. What are you thankful for? Are you thankful for your ex like Ariana? Or, are you simply thankful for a nice home cooked meal-- I know I am! Comment below!

20 Things I Learned Before I Turned 20

I'm officially 20-- and, yes, I feel old! Last week was a blast! I woke up to confetti sprinkled around my bedroom floor and sticky notes all over my bathroom door. I also woke up to instagrams, tweets, and snaps from you guys! Thank you all so much for remembering me on my birthday! It means the world to me. XOXO

1. Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time.

Everyone is unique. Don't waste your energy analyzing and contrasting yourself to others. It's overrated.

2. Always do your best.

Always give your all-- no matter what the event is.

3. People are people.

We are all humans regardless of our backgrounds. Those fleeing their home countries and coming to the United States are seeking a better life. Click here to read more about the caravan.

4. Everything happens for a reason.

I am a huge believer in this. Every person that I've met has had an influence on me in some way, shape, or form. Whether they motivated me to do something out of comfort zone or think differently about a topic.

5. Priorities are a must.

In order to be successful, you need to keep your priorities in check.

6. Don't force a relationship.

Things that aren't meant to be, aren't meant to be.

7. Mom and Dad are always right.

Even when you swear they're ruining your life.

8. Do the things you want to do.

A few years ago, I was pressured to think a certain way.

9. Stand up for yourself and what you believe in.

In high school, I would have had a heart attack if I had to stand up for myself and/or what I believe in. College has taught me that it's okay to stand up for what I believe in. I now write state and federal letters regarding immigration reform.

10. Drama doesn't matter.

High school never ends. As my mom would say, "Be like Elsa and let it go."

11. You have to work to get what you want.

Sometimes you need to indulge in some mozzarella sticks and study for 3 hours in the library to get an A on a social psychology exam.

12. Material possessions aren't everything.

Material possessions are nice. However, when it comes to the point where they're consuming your life you need to reevaluate your priorities and values.

13. Honesty is the best policy.

Sometimes the truth hurts. But, it's better than being caught in a lie down the road.

14. Give back.

I have classes Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, I like to give back to the community and teach ESL to at-risk child migrants. And, I love it! It is one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had.

15. Falling in love isn't a choice.

You meet people when you least expect it. And, it takes you by surprise.

16. Picking out a first date outfit is harder than calculous homework.

I've been on several first dates and each one, without fail, has resulted in my closet spitting up all over my bedroom floor.

17. Trust your gut.

After I toured Cabrini University, I knew it was the school for me. I knew I would be successful in any major I chose.

18. Vote.

Voting is so important. Make a difference.

19. Knowledge is power.

My dad has been saying this to me since first grade. It wasn't until this past September when I realized what it truly means. I am currently pursing degrees in psychology and Spanish. I am using these degrees to learn more about the immigrant population and how I can help them and make a difference. That's powerful.

20. Be proud of yourself.

I think it's totally cool if you want to play a Taylor Swift song and jam out because of something you've accomplished. Go for it!

It's Fall, Y'all!

It's fall, y'all!

Pumpkin spice lattes are officially back in stock at Starbucks-- it's officially fall! I am loving the cozy, snuggling weather. I've moved all of my J. Crew sweaters and boot socks to the front of my wardrobe. Are you guys loving this fall weather too?

Back to the blog.

One of the more exciting aspects of my life that I want to note: I am officially back to the blogging game! For those of you that don't know, in the middle of July I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Doctor's orders: lots of rest. 

Now that I am back, I am planning on doing more blog posts geared towards not only my college life, but my personal life too. There are. So. Many. Things. I want to talk about.

I started my junior year of college.

They weren't kidding when they said junior year was the hardest year. I am taking 6 classes: PSY 202, PSY 204, PSY 271, PSY 305, ECG 300 (Immigration), and SPA 210. On top of that, I am a member of the Spanish club. I have classes Monday through Thursday, and on Fridays I occupy my time with homework and volunteer opportunities. Definitely booked! (But, I like to keep a busy schedule; it keeps me out of trouble.)

I love my classes.

Like I mentioned earlier, I am taking four psychology classes, 1 class on immigration, and a Spanish class geared towards psych majors. I am absolutely in love with all of my classes! I am especially fascinated with my Personality Theories class. I have analyzed myself and my previous relationships over and over again. This class makes sense of everything! I am also really enjoying my Social Psychology class. I adore my professor and the subject matter. If you ever get the opportunity to take one of these classes (even if you're not a psychology major), take them!

Career goals.

As a junior in college, I have began thinking about my desired career path. The options are truly endless. However, I am planning on going into clinical psychology where I will focus on the immigrant population. Currently, I am looking to apply to a graduate program. Life is going by so fast!

I Love What I Wear | Confidence & Fashion

When I was "growing up," (I say that as if I've stopped growing up) I went through several different fashion phases. During 6th grade, I went through a tomboy phase-- and not the cute kind. Yikes! In 9th grade, I thought I was an Abercrombie & Fitch model. And, during my senior year, Aerie yoga pants were the only thing I came to know.

Transitioning from high school to college was one of, if not the easiest transitions of my life-- style wise. I wear what I want, when I want, how I want.

The LWD

I've always adored the little white dress; they're timeless. I purchased this one for my high school graduation-- and I've used every opportunity to where it since.

All The Colors

Over the years, I fell in love with Lilly Pulitzer. Her designs are bright and girly. I am bound to make a statement wherever I go. And, I love that.

Pom-Poms

I love tassels. And, I love pom-poms. They're so trendy and fun! Anything with a tassel or a pom-pom has my name written on it!

These are just some of my clothing pieces I go to. I feel the most confident when I'm wearing something that is girly and fun, yet flattering to my body type.

Question of the Day: What's your favorite clothing piece in your wardrobe? A LBD? Or, maybe a fun pair of rain boots? Comment below!

How To Become The Best Version of Yourself

I am so excited about today's blog post; I am helping Vanessa promote her new fitness blog: www.simplehealthhuman.com. It's one of my favorites!!

Over the past couple of months, I've been inspired to be a better version of myself. With that being said, here are some of my tips in order to work towards being the best version of yourself:

Create a feel good playlist.

Music has incredible powers. Instead of listening to sad songs like "Babe" by Sugarland ft. Taylor Swift on repeat, listen to "Can't Stop The Feeling" by J.T. Oh, and "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfeld! That's one of my favorites.

Exercise.

Create a workout plan and stick to it. The creating part is the fun part, whereas the actually sticking to it is the hard part. Once you get into a groove, you won't be able to get out of it. I actually use this app called 7M Women (#NotSponsored). They have a variety of exercises that only take 7 minutes. And, yes, I have seen results. (If you're not into the whole sets and reps thing, try a dance workout! Click here to watch my favorite dance workout!)

Sample Workout (Leg Day):

• 0.5 Miles in 10 Minutes
• Tabata Body (7MW)
• Stretch
• 7 Minute Butt x3 (7MW)
• 50 Squats
• 50 Calf Raises
• 50 Banded Walks (25 each leg)
• Post Workout Stretch Routine in 10-15 Minutes

Buy something new.

#TreatYoSelf, Girl! You deserve it. Buy that Kate Spade wallet you've been yearning for, or buy those LuluLemon leggings you've been eyeing up since January.

Try something new.

I've been taking up yoga since the year began. (My best friend actually suggested we try it since my college offers free classes.) I ended up really enjoying it. This summer, I've been following along with YouTube videos and Pinterest poses. This upcoming semester, I'm hoping to fit not only yoga into my schedule, but pilates or kickboxing. Trying something new is empowering.

Cut the negative people out of your life.

After I graduated high school, I let go of friendships and relationships that I found toxic. Being constantly surrounded by negative energy left me feeling angry and miserable. Once I got to college, I found a group of friends with positive vibes that totally changed my life.

Drink lots of water.

Lots and lots. Victoria's Secret models drink a gallon a day. (I think that's a little overkill, but if you can do it, you rock!) I've been drinking between 48 oz. and 72 oz. a day. It's done wonders for my body!

Indulge in things you love.

I love to dance. And, I love to work. I love to help others and volunteer for local organizations. I enjoy spending time with my family and playing silly board game like Trivia Pursuit. Do things you love. Life is too short to not be doing what you love doing.


It's so important to be mentally and physically healthy. Put yourself first. Always. As cliche as it sounds: live everyday like it's your last.

Ana Luisa Jewelry Review

Welcome back to my blog, everyone!!

Today, I'm sharing one of my new favorite jewelry brands with y'all: Ana Luisa NY. Ana Luisa is a designer jewelry company. (Some of Ana Luisa's designers have worked for various famous brands like Tory Burch and Ralph Lauren-- two of my favorites!!) Their jewelry is not only high-quality, but also unique. Ana Luisa only releases a limited quantity in order to ensure each piece is exclusive.

Ana Luisa Jewelry sent me these adorable teardrop earrings. They add the perfect touch to any outfit for any occasion. You can dress them up or down depending on the look you're going for. (That's my favorite part about these earrings!) Morning brunch with your family or prom night-- you decide!

They also sent me this layered chain necklace. Which again, can be dressed up or down depending on the look you're going for. I decided to pair it with this floral romper from Hollister for a daytime look. But, you can also pair it with your LBD for a Saturday night on the town with your bae. I love the versatility! 

I am absolutely in love with these jewelry pieces. I've been experimenting; wearing the jewelry with a number of different outfits. I'm planning on wearing these two pieces to an Honors Convocation in the fall, and I'm also planning on letting my sister borrow the precious duo for her prom. I feel so gorgeous in these pieces. They're handmade, high-quality pieces that will never go out of style. Checkout Ana Luisa Jewelry for the latest fashion jewelry trends!
