This year has been great. I have so much to be thankful for. I launched the aleyrojas in April and since then I have been blessed. I have been able to document my life and have captured some pretty awesome memories. It’s been fun. But, I can’t help but look ahead. The future is […]
It was the cold of times
Well we’ve had a bit of a cold front in good ole Kansas. To be honest, it’s been cold as heck. With winds at more than 50 miles per hour and snow drifting from the North, it’s enough to keep everyone tucked inside. Me including. I’ve came down, yet again, with a cold. However, and […]
Silver New Year
Now that Christmas is behind us, I’m beginning to get excited about New Year’s. And when I mean beginning, I’m literally talking about a new fresh start. Plus I’m looking forward to celebrating my grandfather’s birthday. It’s such a blessing to have the 81 year-old running around like a young gun. In preparation, I’ve […]
An aleyrojas Christmas
For me, Christmas is an important time of year. Not only because I get to spend time with family (I usually don’t get to see), but because of my faith. I come from a Mexican-Catholic family. And typical to our faith and underneath our Christmas tree is this nativity set. We laid down baby Jesus […]
Four days…and counting
I’ve been gone for far too long. Sorry friends. With only four days left until Christmas, the spirit of giving is right around the corner. I love the holiday not only because I loving giving presents (and receiving), but also because what the holiday means to family. My mom has put up the nativity set […]
Green with envy
Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence. I’ve been super busy with work and worst of all I’ve been super sick. I’m feeling so much better now. One thing I hate is being sick. That feeling of wanting and needing to do so much, but not have the power to do so. It’s just terrible. But, […]
My desire to spoil the ears
I have had the biggest obsession with the ear cuffs. Especially jeweled rhinestoned ones. But, for the life of me, I just couldn’t find any. Lets say I searched the end of the world for this accessory. Until today (while I did my usual web roaming), I visited Topshop, one of the newer places I […]
Thanksgiving OOTD
I am beyond thankful today. For many reasons. It’s obvious, family, friends, a roof over my head, life, good health, a wonderful career… okay I could really go on and on. But, new this year is having the opportunity to practice my creativity through this blog. How powerful is the world of technology and communication. […]
Something to be thankful for
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, of course. And while most of will be busy stuffing our facing and giving thanks, around our loved ones, it’s also another excuse to dress up. If you don’t have an idea of what to wear during the holiday here is a look–for inspiration. I’ll post tomorrow my look. Have a happy […]
Things I am in love with
Life is great. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are a couple of things that are making me absolutely happy. My moms center-table decorations. Purple being my favorite color. And saying good-bye to spring. For now. These green heel-sandals. Green being my other favorite color. I can’t wait to wear this! I am […]
