My favorite apps to stay motivated

This post is pretty different from my usual posts but I wanted to share with you some apps I really like to stay motivated.

The first one is Balanced. It helps you set "goals" for yourself. You can also choose how many times you'd like to do each things so I use it to remind me I have to do things like write posts, drink water... And it's a super cute app!

The next one is my favorite and it's Motivation. It gives you motivational quotes several times in the day and I personally love them. I feel like it always comes up with the perfect quote in the right moment.

And the third app is I am. It lets you choose from a list of adjectives and gives you daily affirmations with those adjectives, so that you won't forget how amazing you are.

And last but not least, it's not really an app, but I "use" it on my phone and I love it too and it's TUT's Notes from the Universe. I love receiving daily e-mails from "The Universe" with motivation and inspirational messages.

And those are my favorite motivational apps. I hope you like them too!

Question of the day

Do you use any apps on your phone to help you keep motivated?

Crescent rolls

It's Friday! And Friday is a posting day so I owed you a post. However, you should know that I've barely slept this week and I'm super tired so please excuse me for all the things that don't make any sense that I might include in this post.
¡Es viernes! Y los viernes toca entrada de blog, así que os la debía. No obstante, esta semana he dormido poquísitmo y estoy super cansada, así lo siento si digo algo sin sentido.

Today I wanted to share with you this ""recipe"" for Crescent rolls.
Hoy os traigo mi ""receta"" de los rollitos de hojandre.

To make these I used:
Para hacer estos he usado.

• A package of puff pastry
  Un paquete de masa de hojaldre
• Ham
  Jamón de york
• Cheese
  Queso
• 1 egg yolk
  Una yema de huevo
• Optional: jam
  Opcional: mermelada

Directions

Roll the puff pastry. You may want to cut in two halves. Then lie some ham and cheese on top, and even some jam if you want. I made some with jam and some without it.
Estira la masa de hojaldre. Problablemente necesitarás cortarla en dos mitades alargadas. Luego coloca unas lonchas de jamón y de queso encima, e incluso mermelada si quieres. Yo hice algunos con y otros sin.

Start rolling each half. 

Enrolla cada mitad.

After rolling it, cut each roll in smaller pieces and separate them from one another in case they would spread in the oven.

Después de enrollarlo, corta los rollos en trozos más pequeños y sepáralos por si crecen en el horno.

Whisk the egg yolk and brush the rolls with it. This will make them look gold and crispy. 

Bate la masa de huevo y pinta los rollos con ella. Esto hará que queden más dorados y crujientes.

Put them in the oven for 15 min aprox. at 350°F / 180°C.

Mételos en el horno durante 15 min. aproximadamente a 180ºC o 350ºF.

The Fairy Tale Tag

I saw this on Beautiful Curiosities blog and I loved it! I love tags (you know that) and I love fairy tales and this seemed so cute I just... I just had to do it.

I borrowed this photo from Once upon a time, because I love that show, and I fell like this photo really went with the tag. So let's get started!

Snow White - Do you consider yourself beautiful?
Truth is... I don't. Not really.

Sleeping Beauty - How many hours do you sleep at night?

As many as I possibly can! I'd sleep 24/7 if I could. I try to make it at least 7. So... 7 to 10 maybe. I sleep like a koala.

Cinderella - Do you have a curfew?

No. Although I live with my parents and they're always like "don't come late".

Rapunzel - Do you love being outside?

I don't. But when I'm in for a long time, I really miss fresh air...

Red Riding Hood - Do you trust strangers easily?

Nope. 

The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids - Are you easily fooled?

Yeah. Way too easily.

Beauty and the Beast - What makes someone beautiful in your eyes?

Being a good person. Being unselfish, caring about others, treating everyone (EVERYONE) well...

The Little Mermaid - What would you sacrifice for love?

Mostly everything.

The Frog Prince - What do you find disgusting?

Vegetables, dead animals... I think just what everyone else finds disgusting.

Jack and the Beanstalk - Do you have any plants?

I do! I have a beautiful orchid that's like my baby. She has actually died twice but she always comes back to life.

Puss in Boots - Do you have pets? If not, do you want them?

I don't have any. I kind of want and don't want at the same time. I feel like I really want one, but they don't live that many years and I'd be so sad when they die that they make me question if I should have one.

Bluebeard - What is your weak point?

I'm too scared I'm going to lose everyone and that I'll never be good enough, so I'm just like "they're gonna replace me any way, so I'll just forget about them now" and I keep pushing everyone I care about away.

Pinocchio - What is your biggest wish?

Right now? Graduate and move out. I don't know, my biggest wish is to get the life I always wanted, but that's too general. I'd like to move to New York, find a job I like and enough money to be able to afford for the things I like.

Peter Pan - What is your mental age?

12 maybe? I love Disney movies and sleepovers. I'm not a huge fan of alcohol and parties so I'd like to go back to the days when we'd just meet for a walk, then come back home early.

The Star Money - What is your most valuable possession?

All the letters I've received. I still keep all of them. 

Gold Mary and Pitch Mary - Are you a hard worker or a lazy one?

It really does depend on how much I like what I'm doing. When it's something I like, I put everything into it. But when I don't... I just want to be done with it. But what I really really am, is a procrastinator.

The Snow Queen - Who is your best friend?

This beautiful girl, who I like to call... beibi. But you can call her Maria:

The Princess and the Pea - Are you sensitive?

Way too sensitive.

Godfather Death - What qualities make a good parent?

Caring for their children, making them happy, making them happy and making them feel loved and good about themselves.

The Twelve Dancing Princesses/The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes - Do you like parties?

Not really. Unless it's a pajama party, or a pizza pajama party.

The Emperor's New Clothes - Do you care a lot about your clothing?

Yep.

The Brave Little Tailor - Do you consider yourself brave?

Nope, not at all. I'm such a coward.

And I'm tagging... anyone who's reading this and want to do this. Also, if you do this tag, please please let me know in the comments so I can read your answers.

Tips for buying makeup

Last week I had the pleasure and the privilege to write a guest post for Daisy Drops. I decided to share my tips for buying makeup. It's insane how much money I wasted on makeup products I never even used, so I learned these tips that will probably save you a lot of money and space. Do you want to know them? Read the post here.

Would you like to write a guest post on my blog?

If you'd like to write a guest post for my blog, send me an email to lovefrombe@gmail.com with your idea or leave a comment below. I sometimes translate my posts to spanish too, but guest posts needn't be to be in Spanish too, in case you're wondering. They must be in English, though.

DIY Pearls and tassel bracelet

This is pretty similar to a bracelet tutorial I posted not so long ago. I'm sorry, it's not my fault I love pearls.
Esta pulsera se parece bastante a la de otro tutorial que publiqué no hace mucho. Lo siento, pero no es mi culpa que me gusten las perlas...

All you need is:

Necesitarás:

• Pearl-look-a-like beads
  Cuentas que parezcan perlas
• Embroidery thread
  Hilo de bordar
• Elastic thread
  Hilo elástico
• A jump ring
  Un anillo metálico
• Scissors
  Tijeras

Hold the end of the embroidery thread between your thumb and your index finger, and wrap your fingers with the thread. I did this 10 times.
Sujeta el hilo de bordar entre tu pulgar y tu dedo índice, y envuelve tus dedos con el hilo. Yo di 10 vueltas.

Cut the end of the thread, and insert the jump ring. Cut a piece of thread, tie it around the tassel-to-be and wrap it. Then cut the bottom of the tassel.

Corta el extremo del hilo de bordar e inserta el anillo metálico. Corta otro trozo de hilo, átalo a lo anterior y envuélvelo con esto. Luego corta la parte de abajo.

And voilà! Our tassel is done!
¡Y ya tenemos la borla!

Now simply do a bracelet using the tassel just as any other bead.
Ahora simplemente haz una pulsera usando la borla como una cuenta más.

May instadiaries

May is over and it's time to see what my instagram looked like this month!
Mayo se ha acabado así que es hora de ver cómo ha sido mi instagram este mes.

• May 1: My beautiful ice-skates. I had to take them home because I had a competition that weekend.
  Mis patines preciosos. Los tuve que llevar a casa porque tenía una competición ese fin de semana.
• May 4: The accreditation from the competition. It was in Barcelona and it says FCB because it was in their rink, but I don't support (and never will) that club.
  La acreditación de la competición. Era en Barcelona y pone FCB porque era en su pista, pero no soy ni seré nunca de ese equipo.
• May 7: It was three years since the best concert I've ever been to, the day I finally got to hug my lovely friend S. And you can see "it's not over till it's over" written in her arm, which is like our motto.
  Era el tercer aniversario del mejor concierto al que he ido, el día que por fin pude abrazar a la súper adorable S. Y también podéis ver "it's not over till it's over" escrito en su brazo, que es como nuestra frase.
  
• May 10: My new roll-on perfume. You can read it all about that haul here.
  Mi nuevo perfume con roll-on. Podéis leer más aquí.
• May 11: My new notepad. Perfect, isn't it?
  Mi nuevo cuaderno. ¿No es perfecto?
• May 13: This is a microwaveable teddy-bear, like a heat bag, but it looks like a teddy bear. I actually use it for my period cramps... but shh!
  Un oso de peluche que se calienta en el microondas. 
• May 16: My dad bought me candy to help me study.
  Mi padre me compró cuches para ayudarme a estudiar.
• May 22: My candle. It smells delicious. I bought it for Christmas and I can't believe it still lasts.
  Mi vela. Huele fenomenal. La compré en Navidad y no puedo creer que aún me dure.
• May 28: I had an exam the next day and I couldn't sleep so I had to make myself a relaxing infusion.
  Tenía un examen al día siguiente y no podía dormir, así que me tuve que preparar una infusión relajante.
