The Piñita Tee

T-shirt/Camisa: H&M Skirt/Falda: Forever 21 (similar here and here) Hat/Sombrero: Forever 21 (similar here) Shoes/Zapatos: Converse Bag/Cartera: Zara (similar here)
My closest friends know I'm a tad bit obsessed with pineapples so when I saw this t-shirt it was love at first sight! I also love a good white tee. I can pair a white tee with just about anything: jeans, denim skirts, maxi skirts, etc.! I got it in a size small so it would be a little baggy but they also have them available in extra small if you want something a little bit more snug. It is just the cutest little white tee I have seen in a while and just had to have it! Denim skirts are also definitely a huge trend right now, and they have been for quite a while. I'm so glad they came back into style in such full force because I've always been a fan! I remember having a denim skirt when I was younger that I would wear to everything and anywhere!
As you already know from previous posts, I started rotations last week. I'm currently rotating in Pediatrics and though its not something I currently envision myself doing, I'm keeping an open mind and am really enjoying it! There's something so fulfilling about helping to cure a little child. I've got to go work on all the homework and presentations I have to do but I hope you all are still enjoying the blog! See you in the next post!
The Monthly Favorites: July
August 5, 2016
As the month comes to an end I thought I'd share some of my favorites so maybe they can become your favorites too!
Favorite moment: Starting this blog!
This blog started on June 27th but I’ve had this blog in mind for years! Although technically this blog didn’t begin this month, it’s definitely been my favorite moment! I started this blog as a hobby and a distraction from bigger things (another favorite moment!) but it has really become something that keeps me thinking and creative!
Favorite outfit: The Military Jacket
Favorite inspiration: If you love blogs and still don't have a Bloglovin' account, you're missing out! Its such a great site to keep track of all your blogs at the same time! I absolutely cannot live without it! I also love their own blog account with gives great style advice and inspiration! I loved this one on 3 Denim Looks!
Favorite makeup item: Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors + NYX Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray (I'm sure you could have guessed these by this month's beauty posts!)
Favorite thought:
Favorite Laugh: Buzzfeed 24 Times Snapchat Was A Goddamn Gift To The Internet (Laughed my butt off!
Favorite song: Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake (I dare you to not be overcome by happiness and a sudden need to dance with this song!)
What was your favorite post from The Girl on an Island this month? Let me know bellow!
The Skincare Routine
August 3, 2016
This week’s beauty post is all about skincare! I take skincare seriously. Even though you might think I’m too young to be worried about this, I really believe that skincare should be used to prevent damage rather than waiting to fix damage that’s already begun! Here I’m going to share with you the products I’ve been using for the last couple of years. Do they work? Well I can tell you that I’m the oldest of 5 but when trying to list us in numbers, people never guess me as first!

¡Esta semana el post de belleza es todo sobre el cuidado de piel! Yo tomo el cuidado de piel seriamente. Verdaderamente creo que el cuidado de la piel debe usarse para prevenir daño en vez de para arreglar daño que ya ha comenzado. ¡Aquí comparto con ustedes mis productos favoritos! ¿Funcionan? Basta decir que soy la mayor de 5 pero cuando intentan adivinar que numero hacemos, ¡nunca me escogen como la mayor!
 |
| Tarte Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($12)- Sunscreen is very important! Although I prefer to use a moisturizer that already includes SPF, the moisturizer I have right now does not so I use this underneath for protection. |
 |
| First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration ($30)- I received this in a Popsugar Must Have Box and love it! The most important thing to prevent wrinkles is moisturizing! |
 |
| Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil Light ($16)- If you've read any of the previous beauty posts you know that I have oily skin, so why do I use an oil? When researching solutions for oily skin, I found that sometimes it is the lack of oil that makes our skin try to produce more. When I learned this, I started to use this oil and noticed a real change! |
 |
| Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit ($85)- This product on its own is very expensive ($105) but in this kit and with a discount, I got it at a great price! It is definitely worth the price tag though. I put this on on nights that my skin is feeling tired or problematic and I wake up with plumper skin, looking much better! |
 |
| CLINIQUE Moisture Surge Overnight Mask ($34.50)- I use this the same as the Luna Night Oil for when my skin needs a little boost. I also love CLINIQUE Moisture Surge Intense For Very Dry To Dry Combination Skin ($39)! It is very important to bring your moisturizer down to your neck! |
 |
| Dior Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm ($28)- Worth every penny! Makes my lips nice and smooth! |
 |
| CLINIQUE Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel ($26)- This is my PMS secret weapon! This zaps and drys zits in a day or two! |
 |
| Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream ($30)- Eye cream is so important! Eyes are the first to show signs of ageing so it is important to use moisturizer in the morning before applying makeup and at night! |
 |
| Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate ($67)- This is a 100-point reward from Sephora I got after a friend's recommendation. Its actually my second one! I use this in the morning just before applying moisturizer and it has worked wonders on my skin! As you can see, I'm running out so I'm probably going to have to bit the bullet and buy the full size version soon! |
The Military Jacket
August 1, 2016
Jacket/Abrigo: H&M (similar here) Top/Blusa: BCBG Outlet (similar here and here) Jeans/Mahones: American Eagle Shoes/Zapatos: BCBG (found at TJ Maxx, similar here) Bag/Cartera: Carolina Herrera (on loan from my mother, similar here) Jewelry/Joyería: Mejuri ($20 off when you use this link!)
Happy Monday! I found this jacket at the H&M at The Mall of San Juan but didn't love the price tag ($50). Thinking I could find another one at a cheaper price, I left it and went on to check my online shopping sites and the mall. Unfortunately, I couldn't find another I liked as much or one I liked as much that was cheaper! So, I traded my mom a Forever 21 store credit card I had (worth a little over ($50) in exchange for the jacket! Win!

¡Feliz Lunes! Encontré este abrigo en el H&M del Mall of San Juan pero no me había encantado el precio ($50). Pensando que podia encontrar otro a un precio mas accesible así que decidí dejarlo y buscar en mis páginas de internet de compras y en el mall. Lamentablemente, no encontré ninguno que me gustara igual o uno que me gustara que tuviera un mejor precio. ¡Lo que hice entonces fue intercambiar una tarjeta de crédito de Forever 21 que tenia (con un poco mas de $50) con mi mamá por el abrigo! ¡Qué éxito!
