Places I'd like to Visit in the Future || #Blogmas 2017

If you know me, you'd know that I LOVE watching youtuber vlogs. Especially British youtuber vlogs. My favorite British youtubers are Zoe & Joe Sugg. I love when they vlog the buildings or just them sitting in traffic vloging their view from their car. Since I've always wanted to visit the UK, that is as close as I'll get to ever going is from just watching their vlogs. From what I've seen on movies and the bits and pieces from vlogs. The UK seems so peaceful & beautiful. I would LOVE to move there one day. I could go on and on about why I love the UK & why I would love to live there, but then this blog would be long (maybe that could be a post for another day).



The second place I'd like to visit is California. I would like to go there just for the soul reason of visiting Disneyland. I'm a HUGE Disney fan and if I got to visit Disneyland, I think I'd cry of happiness. Disney is such a magical place I just want to get to experience it one day.




The last place I'd like to visit is Paris. The movies have painted Paris as the most romantic place in the world and I just want to see it for myself. Also, I heard they have a Disneyland in Pairs and I want to go see it.



So that's it, let me know in the comments where you would love to visit one day. Or we can continue the discussion over on my twitter @pinkraincloudd. See y'all soon. ♡

I was nearly killed by a candle?!? (Story Time) || #Blogmas 2017

The story starts out when my family & I were cleaning our house in Mexico. I was in charge of cleaning the kitchen. I started cleaning the kitchen and left it as clean as a whistle. So I look up at the top of the China cabinet and I see a white flower vase with a candle on top. I was like wow that would look so nice on the table.

I grab the vase by the white metal things (you'll see in the picture below). Here's where I made a mistake... I didn't grab a chair to boost myself to grab the white vase. I was 100% certain that the candle was glued to the white vase so I started to grab it and the candle dropped from on top of the china cabinet and hit me in the head.

I kid you not that when it hit me in the head my vision went black for like 6 second and then it went back to normal. I was so scared I thought I was bleeding so I grabbed my head and I felt a dent where the candle had hit me. This isn't no ordinary candle as you can see from the picture below that this candle is thick & heavy. My body (or should I say my head) was in shock for a few minutes then my head started to feel hot and it hurted like hell. I couldn't even talk or make any sort of facial expression because it hurt.


Here's the picture of the accident:
Green: me
Orange: white vase thing I wanted to put on the table




Here's what the candle that nearly killed me









Update:
A couple of days had passed now from the day I wrote the above and my head still hurts a little & the dent is nearly gone. It feels as if I'm going to get a small bump there too.

Aura Mugler Review || #Blogmas 2017

Guess who was picked for another voxbox? yup, me! I was lucky enough to get picked by Influenster to receive a voxbox to test out products they send me for free in exchange for my honest reviews. What is influenster you might ask??? Influenster is a community of over two million social savvy shoppers that stay on top of the latest product news and expert tips. Also, they review products, share honest opinion with brands and the community. Lastly, influenster members can test products for FREE based on social media influence. You can also be a part of the Influenster community! Just click on my referral link to get started (click here).


Anyways, lets get started!
Here is what was inside my Aura Voxbox:




Aura is a new fragrance that was released by Mugler & I was lucky enough to receive a small free sample to test out. Here's my honest review:

At first, I didn't like the perfume, it smelled really strong. Was honestly disappointed because I thought it was going to smell great. But I gave it a second chance the next day and I LOVED IT! It smells a little sweet (but not really sweet) & also kinda green. The bottle is a little heart that other people have said that it fits great in the hand & it's not big and bulky. (I didn't receive the bottle, but I got that info from various videos I watched)

I suggest so you won't have the same first experience I had with this perfume is that you spray it a little far away from you so the smell doesn't go straight to your nose. I believe that this was my problem I had when first smelling this & that was why I didn't like it at first.

Buy it here


Have you smelled this perfume? If so what do you think of it?

How I found out the truth about Santa Claus || #Blogmas 2017


I know many parents struggle with the "How do I tell my child about the truth about Santa" talk. My parents never had the Santa talk with me. I found out by myself (and no little kids didn't break the news to me).
Here's how I found out the truth about Santa...
It was January and I was about 9. I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but I had to look for something and I was rummaging through my mom & dad's closet when I stumbled onto gift wrapping paper. I was like "Humm my mom & dad have the same gift wrapping paper" I thought it was so cool. Then I found the special paper that they used to write little notes to us that were left by "Santa". That's when I pieced two & two together and I was like "holy cow." Of course I didn't confront my parents because I still wanted presents from "Santa". Lol
*sorry this post is so short, but I was really busy all day*

Furry friend tag || #Blogmas 2017

Hey guys! I was thinking the other day; I haven't properly introduced you guys to my best friend in the whole wide world. You've probably already seen her if you follow me on instagram, but today I've decided 
that today we're doing the furry friend tag! Yayy! *round of applause* so let's get right to the questions.

1. What is your pets name?
Her name is Cookie. I decided to name her that because of the way she's colored. She's brown & black; which reminded me of a chocolate chip cookie.

2. What kind of pet is it and what breed?
Cookie is a dog & she's a carlin pinscher. In case you don't know what a carlin pinscher is that's a pug mixed with a miniature pinscher. They are also called muggins. 

3. How long have you had your pet friend?
I've had Cookie for about 5/6 years. 

4. How did you get your pet?
Ready for a long story cause here it goes lol. I would always talk to my friend about how much I wanted a dog. It was my absolute DREAM to own a dog of my own. My cousin had one, but she didn't let me play with him (I know rude). Anyways, I would tell my friend how if I had a dog how much I would love & adore it. I would also tell her how I wanted a girl dog because I wanted to dress her up (I know you're probably thinking there's boy clothes for dogs too & you're right, but I really wanted a girl). 

One day my friend texted me. "Hey Jessica, my pug just had puppies with my sisters miniature pinscher. Do you want me to save you one?" I kid you not I cried. I cried so much because my dream of finally owning a dog was going to come true. My life would finally be complete. I texted her back faster than lighting... "Yes yes yes please" She then said "I know the perfect one for you." 

I convinced my parents for weeks. I showed them facts about how owning a pet would help lower stress & help with depression. Then one day I finally heard the word I was looking for "Yes" 

5. How old is your pet?
She's 6 years old. 

6. What is your favorite memory with your pet?
My favorite memory with my pet has to be when we picked her up from my friends house. 
It was raining & I was texting my friend thanking her over a million times. My heart was so overwhelmed with so much joy. And I was in pure disbelief that my dream was going to come true in a matter of a few minutes. After, I got my friends address my dad drove my brothers and I to go pick up my dog. At this point my heart was pounding so hard it almost popped out my chest. Then my dad gives me the bad news. Words I wasn't hoping to hear. He tells me that he could find my friends house. 

We park and I text my friend quickly. "I can't find your house" I got out the car and started looking for her house on foot. My friend text me back saying how she was going to come find me. Even with the rain pouring down on me I continued to look and look for her house. I was just about to give up hope & go to the car when I hear my dad scream "Jessica is that your friend over there?" I turn around and sure enough I saw my friend standing under a street light. I walk towards my friend & time seemed to have slowed down as I got closer & closer. 

When I got to where my friend was standing she was holding a blanket and in the blanket was a tiny little dog. She hands me the dog and it was shivering. My friend said so here you go. I still couldn't process that my life was now complete because I had a dog of my own. I was so happy. Held the dog close to me so it could feel my warmth. Then the dog nuzzled a little on my neck.

Then get ready for the tear jerker. I got my very first kiss from my dog that day. She licked my cheek & I started to cry. At that moment it all started becoming real to me. My dream was now a reality. I held her so close to me. She was so soft & she smelled like strawberries. I was on cloud 9 from that day forward. I thanked my friend a million more times & than I went back to the car. My brothers began playing with her & my dad drove directly to Walmart to get her a bowl & some food. 

7. What are some quirky things about your pets personality?
She is so smart. She was real easy to potty train.

8. What does your relationship with your pet mean to you? 
oh words can't even begin to describe my relationship with her. She's my best friend. I love her to death, without her I'd be lost.

9. What are some of your favorite past times with your pet? 
Running after squirrels with her. I let her know when I see a squirrel and then we chase it until I goes up a tree.

10. What are nicknames you call your pet?
Some nicknames I call my pet are:
Kiki & ookie.

Hope you guys enjoyed getting to know my dog a little better. If you want to see more of my dog you can follow me or my dog on instagram. Yup, I made my dog an instagram. I am one of those people.
