Hello Everyone! I want to start off by saying thank you to my amazing boyfriend Eric for motivating me to do an end of the year post. Let's just say that my mind has been very scattered for the past couple of days due to me getting sick from an annoying cold & something negative that happened. Anyway, this year was extremely difficult. A lot of painful things happened, but I feel like this year tested me in a lot of areas. I learned a lot. 2017 was also VERY surprising, someone would've told me in 2016 everything that would happen... I wouldn't have believed them at first. Lol my siblings and friends made it all worth it though. I adore them. Overall, I want to end this year giving closure to all the things that happened. No resentment to anyone that I cut off, I just needed to do so because I try to surround myself with only genuine and kind people. I'm a huge believer I growth and compassion. So I cannot be around people who are not true to themselves and a...

Hello Everyone! So I really wanted to write about something that I'm passionate about, but I did not know what to choose until it finally clicked! MEDITATION. I'm not sure if you're personally familiar with what meditation is. It is defined as a practice where a person trains their mind or induce a mode of consciousness. Personally, I believe that meditating is progressive... the power to meditate is within us already. In order to properly meditate we must ask ourselves WHY. What is your reason to meditate. If you have no reason, well that's even better! Some people begin to meditate because it helps them re-calibrate. That's how I see it, it brings me back in touch with my inner stillness. With everything going on in our everyday lives, we get sucked into society's standard's and worrying about dumb shit like what people think of you. When you mediate you RECOGNIZE your thoughts, you are aware of them, but you must ignore them. Do not make the mistake...

Hello Everyone! I try to live life with no regrets. I'm learning to worry less and just enjoy life. For me, 2016 was definitely a year of experiences and emotional growth. When bad things happen... you have two choices. To let it consume you & kill you or to learn from it & use it for your benefit. I'm glad to say that mentally, I've changed a lot throughout 2016. Thanks to spirituality, I'm slowly becoming the person I want to be. Someone that does not want to judge others.... someone that has accepted that happiness is success and that it's not a destination. I don't want to change, but always better myself. I've become more forgiving. I'm discovering what unconditional love is. If you do things with love, it makes such a difference. One of the most important things that I've realized this year is... we're all on different paths in life, but we are all connected. We have to tolerate others even though they are different. This life is...

Hello Everyone!    So who has heard of Selena? No, not Gomez. THE Selena Quintanilla. A Mexican-American woman born in Corpus Christi, Texas who revolutionized fashion and Tejano music. She was unfortunately murdered 21 years ago today... ,but I would like to focus on the impact she made on many lives during her short life. Selena began her singing career in a band called ''Los Dinos'' which was managed by her father. In fact, more than one of her album's went gold! The queen of Tejano was a Grammy winner who also created her own clothing line. Everyone knew how talented and special she was. Most of all people would remember the way her smile and voice instantly captured someones attention. The way she danced, which seemed effortless. As some of you know I am also Hispanic and like Selena, extremely proud of my roots and culture.      Even though Selena was Chicana she never forgot her heritage. Her style and music derived from Mexico. NOW she still continues...

Hello Everyone!      What does being a woman mean to you? We all know at least one women that we look up to. It may be your mother or maybe even a public figure. For centuries women have been belittled and denied so many basic rights. Expected to not have the ability of leaders, to stay quiet, to cater, to care for. Misogyny is alive in society today, women are suffering all around the world. Women should not stay quiet. You do not need a man's validation in order to be happy. Let's support each other.      Let's remember all the women in history and all the women who are currently fighting and have faced death in the name of equality. Those women are true heroes. The women who sacrifice everything in order for their children to be well. The strong women who suffer daily because they are not allowed to do even the simplest things. These women deserve a celebration. I'd like to thank all the women who have helped change society for the better. ...

Hello Everyone!       How are you all? I wanted to discuss why I have not been uploading YouTube videos every week on my channel RoseLifeXO. I noticed that I did very well during the month of December! Which I'm happy about. Haha Anyway, it is because I had been moving houses and if you all have not experienced that, then let me tell you that it is very stressful. Especially with a big family and having college every morning (plus sometimes evenings). Even though yes, I have been under a lot of emotional/physical stress... I will be fine. Basically, me filming while feeling down would've been negative. I enjoy sharing parts of my life with you all, but I rather keep a balance of me being real and keeping negative things off of my content. My motive is to spread positivity. The last thing I want to do is complain, so I will not do that! Overall, I am happy about the move and glad that I am almost settled in. The place will only be temporary, but I do not want to get into...

Hello Everyone!      Today I want to elaborate on one of my main ideals. I call it an ideal because based on very personal experiences, this is something that I very much value.  Everyday I try to get closer to not only discovering who I am, but living the life I want for myself. It's certainly not easy, but it is very much worth it. I constantly see many people being afraid of showing themselves to the world. So many factors go into this, from wanting to impress someone to being told how to act. For most, acceptance is the goal... but what if you only needed your own acceptance and approval?       It has to do with the fact that us as humans have been conditioned to society's standards. For example, what is beauty? What is an acceptable way of living? And even the opinions that we have. We're expected to overall live so limited and unrealistically. It's such an irony actually, the reality is unrealistic. In my opin...

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to introduce to you a new segment on my blog & YouTube channel, called "Support Saturday'' . I will be choosing a cause/charity about once a month to post about. I invite you to help me raise awarness for these important matters please. So I chose the Chinese Yulin Dog Festival that will be held June 21st, 2015.  If you are not familiar with it it's when about 10,000 dogs are murdered and sold for their meat. Some are even stolen from their homes. This heartless event is not a race issue, it is a moral one. I don't understand how some people can do this. It is our duty to speak up for creatures that cannot even speak. So please if you don't have anything positive to comment, then save that energy and use it for something positive. Below I will leave links to donate and or sign the petition to stop the Yulin Dog Festival. Let's come together and spread light. Thanks so much for reading! XO DONATE:  http://www.whosa...

Hello Everyone!      Tuesday, April 28th, 2015 Cece and I went to the Future Hearts Tour in Dallas, Texas. I primarily went to see All Time Low FINALLY, but I adore all the others bands as well. It was our second time seeing State Champs! They are one of my favorite pop punk bands for sure. I cannot describe how rad the line-up and set-lists were. The show was perfect and I am so grateful for the experience! I tried my best to vlog some great footage so please check it out the video on my channel https://www.youtube.com/user/RoseLifeXO  Thanks for all your support babes. I appreciate it :-) Be fearless & smile! ❤

Hello Everyone! How is everyone doing? Well I just simply wanted to say hello and that I hope you all are doing wonderfully. I also just really felt like writing. I cannot believe that we are in April already! About 2 more months and I will be done with high school. Surreal. As of right now my University plans are going well. Let's just live life. Know when to not take things too seriously... to the point where we feel on the verge of a breakdown. Anyway, lately I've been doing more mediation and it has been great. I feel so much refreshed and centered afterwards. I definitely recommend you to try it! Because this week my anxiety had been acting up... during school. Not fun at all. I'm glad I know the source though. That helps. Don't you hate it when you miss someone? It's annoying. Haha, but I keep reminding myself that if they really wanted to be part of my life... they would. Let's not force things. Another thing going on in my life at the moment, is that ...

                                                              Hello Everyone!      I came out of hibernation today! Just kidding, it sounds cozy though. So it's currently the end of February and for the past week the weather has been very cold! It snowed twice, which is unusual for a city in Texas. The first time it was very light, but it got icy and they closed school. Then the second time it snowed much more. I basically only ended up going to school once all week. Not complaining! Haha the day I went it was an odd scheduled. I've said this a million times, but I do not like cold weather. Might as well enjoy it though. I can't help, but crave to be living in warm places like California. Not only because of it's weather, but a change in atmosphere would be very nice.      All this time that I've spent...

Hello Everyone! To begin with, I've never really been into New Year's resolutions. One reason is because I like to constantly work on myself throughout the year and set goals for my self quite often. That's just me. If you're the type of person that actually makes New Year's resolutions then that's fine as well! The key is to follow through and reach any of our goals. How do we do that though? Well personally, making a list of things I need to do is very helpful. Another way is making a VISION BOARD. For those of you that don't know what a vision board is, it is basically what those two words mean. It is a board of your visions/goals that you have. It can be for life or for the year. So below I created 5 steps to make your own vision board! I think it's such a fun and helpful idea. So I hope you all try it out and tell me about your vision boards in the comments or send me a photo of them on my social media! Keep striving for your goals and t...

Hello Everyone! I'm just making a quick blog post to share my new video with you all! It has been a while since I've make a new blog post. I've had a throat infection which means I've been coughing quite a lot. I'm feeling better now though. So I hope you all have been doing wonderful! Thanks for the patience! Please make sure to check it out my ''2014 Highlights/Resolutions'' video. I appreciate each and every one of you that take the time to give my videos a like and subscribe. I really enjoy making these YouTube videos so I hope you enjoy watching! Also, I'm currently working on making my channel better; like using my more professional camera (I currently don't have a USB for it which I need to get), but there are other very important school related things that I have to take care of first. Anyway, have a nice day babes! Email me if you ever need or just want to chat at AleyRoseBlog@gmail.com Be fearless & smile! ❤
