It's been a long time and I'm 19 now!

Oh God, are you telling me that the last time I posted was on 18th February? You have got to be kidding me! Time flies! It really does because guess what? I'm 19 now! 

How did this happen?! It's my last year in the TEEN'S! 

Mum and Dad are always saying that seems like yesterday when I was born and now here I am... an 19 year-old girl. 

I can't complain about my presents. Seriously, I wasn't expecting so many things! 
I actually can't choose the most special one but I have to admit that my parents' was the most unexpected!

 They bought me a very, very, very cute sewing machine!
 I've been waiting to get one for so long and they surprised me. I couldn't believe when I saw it. They know how I love Fashion and that working on its "World" is my biggest dream. They are the best parents in the world and I'm so thankful for them being mine and for having them supporting me all the time! 

Can't wait to use it! 

 On Saturday, I went out with my friends for dinner, in a very cosy (yet elegant!) Italian restaurant. 

Food was just great and the waiters were so nice! 

My friends prepared the cutest of the surprises. And as I didn't expect that (and being as emotional as I am!) I started crying. 

They prepared a big box with photos of us on the cover. Inside of it there were a lot of papers and in between, there were 12 presents, I had to open each one of them by order what led me to this baby!

Fujifilm instax mini 8 is the new baby!

On Sunday, my parents invited a few friends over to a barbecue, to celebrate my birthday once again. I got a few presents as cute cards, money and two perfumes that smell like heaven!

A very nice friend of mine got me red roses, my favourite ones! (:

I love being the Birthday girl... I really do! (:

What about you? 

Let me know what do you like the most on celebrating your birthday!

Sometimes, things don't go the way you want them to...

Hello beauties!

You probably don’t trust me anymore because well... I promised to do my best to update every week and I didn't keep my promise. I’m really sorry for it but these past weeks haven’t been easy at all.

 At first, I had to stop my dance classes because it was just too much with school. I had no time to study or relax. Since the beginning I had told myself I’d be capable to do it. And I actually managed to do everything for years, but now, it’s just too much.  You’re probably wondering what it has to do with me not posting anything. Well, I've been dancing since I was a little girl and it was (and still being!) one of my passions, and it was so hard to say goodbye to my friends, teachers and in a certain way dance itself.

I know I can always dance at home or at school but it isn't the same. I miss the dance studio, the mirrors and the way the music was around me. Anyway, it had been a really hard time for me, but it was a decision that I had to take. 

The second reason why I haven’t posted lately is because school takes a big part of my time and when I’m free, I’m either sleeping or spending time with my family and friends.

I’m really sorry for not keeping my promise. There are no excuses because a promise is always a promise.

Much much love,

Raque

ups... I failed!

Helloooooooooo!

How have you beauties been? Hope you're all good!

Today, I just want to go on a really quick “talk” about my last post which was about one of my New Year’s resolutions...

 I said I would try my best to write something new every week but it didn't happen last week. The truth is that I had neither time nor patience to sit in front of my laptop and write a new post. I just want you to know that I’m really sorry for not doing what I promised.  Am I forgiven?

As a “punishment” to myself I've decided that this week I’ll be writing not one…  but two new posts! 

Now, do you want to know what will them be about? The only thing you have to do is:

Add Jardin Secret to your favorites and come back tomorrow to read it! (;

Kiss kiss,

Raquel

New year, new me?

Hello, hello!

            Happy New year everybody!

            How's everyone? I hope you're doing well.

            It's finally 2014 and I'm really excited about it. Hopefully it'll be as good as 2013. I have so many projects, ideas and new things I want to do.

            One of my new year's resolution includes Jardin Secret.

            When I started it, I told myself that I didn't want to feel obliged to write a post every day and that it'd be more like a hobby. The new thing is that I will do my best to post at least once a week. I want this blog to be a bit more 'serious'.
            Now… I know it's already 8th January but let me know what your new year resolutions are! (:

Kiss,
Raquel

The beginning

Hello, hello! :)

I had this idea a long time ago. 
I tried to start a blog at least three times, but I never went ahead.

This time, it'll be different!
So, let's do it!

Kiss,
Raquel
