life
Now let's just say last weekend was packed with major celebrations in my family. My cousin turned 15 something I can't believe because it felt like not that long ago she was at my own quinceaneras. Also, my younger Sister finished college, not only with one degree from the University of California Santa Cruz but two and with honors in both of them and she did all in four years. So big congrats to her for all her hard work and sticking with it.
For my fellow Bay area natives, it was a warm weekend.So that made the commit a little difficult since many people want to head down to the beach. Having to get up at 4 am to make my sister first graduation was not joked, not going to lie but there was already traffic heading up the 17. The ceremony was nice and short and small wich made it an enjoyable graduation.will celebrate by going out to eat and having some Smitten ice cream.(Best way to celebrate anything!)
On Saturday we celebrated my cousin turn 15 with a fiesta theme party. from the pictures below you can tell they put the time and dedication into their party and theme. It was a great way to celebrate her turning 15 and spend time with the family. As mention before truly could not believe how fast time has passed.
we head back to Santa Cruz on Sunday for another graduation celebration my sister and our Latin ethnicity. it was a lovely graduation with a beautiful backdrop.
Overall it was a crazy weekend spent among family celebrating the great achievement in their life. truly proud of them and what is to come into the future for both of them.
(Hope you guys like the video I made bellow of my sister's graduation.)

Fashion
let's talk
Always has my back.
I'm in love with the bohemian look, it's something I always lean to when I go shopping for a new piece. So I thought for my first fashion post. I should post this lovely dress from my favorite brand of all time Free People.
The dress is called Retro Love Suede and its 100% suede. The best part it comes with pockets! if you know me I love pockets and to make it even better its teal. It does have a plunging neckline and a expose zipper in the back. what I love about this dress is you can change it up anyway.
I decided to wear a shirt under the dress and it fit conformably and looks amazing. The dress works for any occasion and since you can mix and match its worth the price. That's something I truly love from free people as a brand, that there dress could be used all year long in different ways. This Suede dress is not a disappointment at all.
Lets talk
Let me tell you its true! But just because you can write doesn't mean doing this whole blogging thing is easy. I'm going to be honest, I just have been so busy and out ideas that I been neglecting my blog. A blog that took me forever to actually make, so I have been a little upset on not keeping up with content. I have read on other blogs that you just need to write to get into the blogging scene or grove. I'm guilty of not writing, pleading guilty here.
So I deiced to set up a little challenge with myself to get me writing. I Jacqueline Perez will update at least once every other week.( If anyone wants to keep my accountable let me know.)
I also want to add more content to the blog not just make it about my life and trips, but I want to talk more about the Bay Area and the surrounding cities. The food and culture they offer growing up in Bay make it possible. The plan is to Include more fitness, my up's and downs with trying to become more healthier. My favorite recipes (I'm a true amateur cook like those kids on tv could sweep the floor with me.) Also maybe a little fashion I don't know much but I know what works for me. Most importantly I want to write about Coffee I <3 that stuff, and spend a pretty penny on buying it so why not write about it.
Thank you for sticking around and joining my on my writing challenge.

25!
When I was a kid twenty seemed so far away, but not that I turned I'll I can think is where did the time go. In a couple 5 years, I will be thirty and that seems like it just around the corner. Yes, I haven't reached the goals (Or still figure out where my life is headed.) I wanted in life but I ask around and that seems to be the norm. ( I truly hope!) Turning twenty-five was a true experience spent celebrating with the people I love in the city I was born and raised. Growing up in the bay area is like nothing out there.
So celebrating my Birthday in the Bay was a week long experience from drinking Blue Bottle coffee at the ferry Building, eating grilled cheese before heading to a Giants baseball game and looking out towards the rest of the bay area.Followed By spending time In downtown San Leandro and hitting up Sons of Liberty Alehouse, for good company and amazing food. I just had to do nine-minute drive and not struggle with parking, that's a major win in my books. To end the celebration I spent the weekend with my family who has been there to support and raise me in these last twenty-five years of life.

I want to give a big thank you to everyone who made this birthday so special and took time out of their day to celebrate with me.

travel
Our first girls trip! As you grow older you gain an independence to have actually trip with friends (or as I like to call them the family you pick. Keep in mind I am related to two of the people on this trip. With my sister graduating and my birthday come up we decided it was the perfect time for our first girl trip we been planning since last year.
We diced to hit the Happiest place on earth Disneyland, and Disney California for the weekend. We luck out and got two nice warm days ( it's been rain and cold in the bay.) so we were able to spend the day enjoying mint julep in the warm sun, followed by other amazing Disneyland food. (Jumbo turkey legs anyone ?)
Since we were already in Southern California we decided to branch out from the park and hit up Horchaeria for horchata inspired food like horchata coffee, (Yes I got an extra large!) we also got horchata ice cream in a concha.
Our last day in Southern California we decided to head out of Anaheim for more food! We went to DoughBoys the brunch was amazing. Since we're close we hit the grove for some shopping, and since we found out when we were in Paris in December that Ladurée opened a store in Los Angeles we got macaron and some pressed juice to start the detox after a weekend of unhealthy-ish eating .
Now time to get back on track and star my next goal before my birthday in April get back into my healthy balance eating.
