I want to share a lesson I learned recently, not a funny journey I may say, but one that really make a huge difference in my marriage: The lesson about Mercy. I was sad and resentful, also angry with my husband, by the repeated times in which he tends to ignore my needs, ideas, etc, blah, blah, you know how that is if you are married. So I found myself, staring at nothing in the window, crying out a lot for His mercy... the one the bible says is new every morning? Where was my daily measure of mercy? I wanted to know... And the answer pop in my head: You have it...things could be worse. I go like: What? so I have to be happy and grateful because it could be worse? (I have to admit: 1-I was full of angry and completely mad at my husband; 2- Not in the mood to accept God's truth that is always...you know: truth...) so I stop praying and talking to Him at the moment and decide to think about something else meanwhile I got ready (in my heart) for something like that. Funny God... I turned on the Tv, just to make my best effort to avoid thinking of His truth. 

Couldn't achieve it, there was this Sandra Bullock movie I never saw before (don't ask me how come, I'm a huge Sandra Bullok's fan I really didn't see this particular movie before "premonition") The movie is about her having a premonition of her husband dying in a car accident...she goes forward and back in time till she fix her marriage relation.ship. A priest told her that maybe she won't be able to change destiny or...fate, but she can do things better so it all ends worthwhile, meaningfully, you know what I mean... I said: ok, ok, ok God isn't gonna allow me to avoid thinking of His truth, so I get it...it could be worse.

But it wasn't just that...I started a journey, studying about His mercy, and about idolatry, cuz the reason why I was mad, is because I, myself, sat my husband into a throne that exclusively belongs to HIM, to GOD. Then I learned, that his will, and His kingdom are far more important than myself, and that doesn't mean that He doesn't care about me. The complete opposite: He cares so much about me, my family, my husband, and everything, that He design marriage to accomplish the growing and to mature spiritually every step of the marriage way.

I started praying, fasting and sharing my experience positively, and it started to bear abundant fruit, or miracles as I believe...my husband is a better man, not that the Lord changes him, but that He, the Lord, changed me, and it makes a whole difference, and yes! The Lord is immensely merciful...ALELUYA!

Just sharing....

And here's a set I made about things I learnt.. hope you understand it and let me know your opinions about it:

I bought a new washing machine and a refrigerator, so, I'm kind of "rayúa" cleaning and moping and washing and cooking...let's see if it endures...(I don't think so, but let's hope.)
Here in Barranquilla, we called "rayúa" or "rayúo" to that person who is doing things or acting funny just because you have something new, like when you get your first car and the first month your cleaning and dusting off its carpets. After a month passed, the entire car looks like a dirty ashtray, and smells like beer and dirty socks. You know what I mean?

Onix Nails for a busy mother...what you think?

Yesterday, I painted my nails in black. First time. I'm a mother so this colors seemed like too young for me, or too agressive for me, or too something.
I decided to try them and see if they look good on me.
This is kind of the result I get, and I have to mention that it wasn't easy.
You know that if you are a mother, everything you do for yourself has to be done in the middle of the night, like...when everybody is sleeping. If you try this in anormal regular time of the day, everyone is going to need you to do something just when your nails are still wet, or you are halfway to finish the other hand. It is funny now, but lastnight I was like: "Why Lord, Why meeeee!!!!" hehe.

Sorry for the lighting in the photo. pretty bad huh?
I know.
I think it is because I was in the bathroom trying to hold the camera with something orange over me to make the black look better....it was my "inner frustrated professional photographer" trying to make her best, hehehe.

Is it just me, of this happens to you too?
Like, there's no time to dedicate to yourself and with the kid, and the husband, and the house, and the work there's no space, nor room for you?

I have a list of priorities, and I'm not there.
Church is there, Food is there, or my job, or the house cleaning eternal cycle, but not me, nothing about me at all.
Well.
The last photo was taken in a place with the appropriate light...
Here's the result.
What you guys think?

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO A STUDENT OF MINE WHO I CONSIDER THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL AMONG THE REST... HER NAME: VALERIA CORONELL. THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS ARE TWO OF THE ONES SHE TOOK HERSELF FOR A PARTY.

The first one is amazing and looks exactly as any photo you will find in professional magazine, think about vogue or elle or any of those...
Mi Vale, you look gorgeous!

She is wearing a black sequin dress and the attitude, the light, the bone latina structure, is amazing!
The next one is perfect

I'm really posting the photos because I want to dedicate her a set on Polyvore...I wish she like it.

And the last one...well judge by yourselves...a total beauty <3

Hi! This is me...this photo was taken while my son and I were playing with the computer camera. Not the best pic, but...my 5 year old son took it so I was impressed. The kind of amazing feeling a mom is suppose 2 feel.

My husband says it was scary, hehehe

Party Outfits I'd love to wear!

This outfit would be perfect to work here where I live. Barranquilla, is a small city in the north caribean coast of Colombia.
The blouse, I think is the main piece of the outfit, that puts the whole outfit together, and matches the bag, the hat, and the nude tone shoes togehter.
I'm so deeply sorry that there's no way you can find a pair of Lobuotines here in Barranquilla.
Hope you guys like it as much as I do.
xoxo
the next one is also a beauty (and also an outfit I created at my Polyvore account: http://carolinarcieri.polyvore.com/ check and let me know what u think.

This one reminds me of Carolina Herrera kind of elegance is soooo cute.
I think the shoes is the item i started with. And my favourite item of the outfit altogether.
What you think?

This one was a tag I was suppose to respond on time, but end out being a nice ensemble of pieces that make me think about a sophisticated girl with a touch of edgy or maybe rock style, exressed in the booties that acompanies the set. In this case I like the outfit, but the phrase more than anything. (hehe)

This one I particulary looooveeee very much, just beacuse of the t-shirt kind of dress I think is effortlessly chic. ;)
The bag and the shoes go perfect and if u can put it together, I'd recommend to imitate the make up the dress shows.
ok that is it for now...i promise i will continue putting some outfits together..but from my real wardrobe. Maybe not soon but...it is coming I promise.
love ya'
<3
xoxo

a set of mine
