Always stay cool, like a lady

Today I hanged around with a pair of my closest friends, and while we intended to go to a bakery shop called El Puro Cielo ("Pure Heaven"), where the best cookies and brownies of whole Monterrey are sold; we stumbled upon a frozen yogurt store, and since it was really hot, we rather went in there. It was called Orangecup, and it's like a Pink Berry thing, frozen yogurt with fruity toppings, which is great, because since I heard of Pink Berry and tried it in a trip to San Diego, I longed for a store like that in here. Orangecup was actually pretty good so I'm definitely going to be a regular there now. Also I bought a bottle of Chanel's  Mat Lumière foundation. It was so pricey! but totally worthy of every cent. Three weeks ago I noticed I was almost out of foundation so I went in the search of new options because I wanted to switch brands, the old one was way to oily for my skin and didn't have enough coverage for my Cameron-Diaz-bad skin (no offense intended, she's one of my favorite famous people  and I personally ADORE Cameron Diaz, but have you seen a picture of her with no make up? well, I'm like that too, ugh). I had to add on top a layer of Mac powder foundation and it was just too heavy during winter, I don't want to now how would that be in a hot weather. Any way, I went to Chanel just because I saw it first, and after the employee applied some foundation on my face for me to try it I just fell in love with it. It was ultra light and, GOD! my skin looked flawless. After weeks of struggling in my head to spend a part of my next August's summer trip savings on it, I finally grabbed the money and didn't look back. It hurted a bit when I had to pull the money out of my wallet to pay, but it was a good investment. Or at least I think so.

Paseo Santa Lucía.

El Paseo Santa Lucía, or the Santa Lucia Riverwalk is one of the landmarks of my hometown that was build as an attraction for the 2007 Universal Forum of Cultures. The Forum was so much fun, you could meet people from all over the world. I remember one time when I went with some friends because a band we liked was going to play a show, and while people were waiting for it to start, some Jamaican dudes pulled out some bongos and started to play and sing, and other ones started to dance and invited people to join in. Minutes later we had formed a giant circle and everyone was dancing and making noise. We almost didn't notice when the concert was about to start. But now that the Forum is gone, going to the riverwalk is still fun. You can go and enjoy the pretty scenery and the sun, splash around in some fountains, be a little stupid with some friends, eat a lot and walk the calories off. Just my kind of fun.
