10 things that make me smile

Hello, sorry i have been ever so distracted with life. Working from my ipad is no good. I thought to finish my blogs on guadalajara however, i didnt feel inlove with the idea anymore. I think im going to stop blogging the things i think i should be blogging and start blogging about what i feel like. 


I wanted to make a list of all the weird things i secretely love to do. Things that until i sat down and really thought about it make me happy in weird and unexplainable ways. 

1. Walking very quickly in a crowded place weaving in out of people to get to where im going faster than everyone else. 
2. Getting into a warm car on a hot day and letting it pull me into drowsyness. 
3. Being so intimidated by someone i cant talk.
4. The crust on apple pie
5. Coming up with the perfect answer to a question 
6. Watching people, most of all the elderly lady named Lupita who works for my grandmother. Shes been with put family for over 30 years i believe and she is exceptionally fascinating. 
7. Taking a hot shower after swimming in cold water or being in the rain.
8. Never being able to remember what i look like and always being surprised when i look in the mirrior 
9. How the bus vibrates your head if you lean it on the window
10.  Sitting alone in public places and the awkwardness i feel. 

Thats my list, its very odd i know but i didn't ever notice how these things made me felt until now and i wanted to share. Let me know your top 10 things that make you happy with out you noticing. :) i hope you enjoyed this. Check out my channel on youtube : BeanQueen17 thanks for reading! Xxxx

Road trip day 2 part 2


Hello there so i have had a fun filled day! First of all we went back to Parque Agua Azul where we explored the butterfly observatory and the bird house which was cool and then we had a look at some more birds that were kept separate, such as parotes and weird looking breeds including a tucan! So cool! I havent felt that tranquil in a long time and i would recommend going there if you have kids or are a bit of a kid yourself! once we had explored everything we, went and checked out a small market near by. it was filled with bits and bobs, little trinkets and what nots, claiming to be vintage with hefty price tags for such little objects. It was cool though, they even had people selling old shot guns ha, only in mexico! While walking around we were stopped by a man selling tijuino, Eme bought one and encouraged me to try it, i was slightly put off by his aggressive method of combining the ingrediance, but i looked past it and tried this salty sweet drink and was delicious! Made up of lime sorbet, salt, lime juice and a mix of corn dough, sugar and boiling water which is then left to ferment slightly. Its ever so refreshing! And that day it was extremely hot so it was a welcomed treat. We then went back to the apartment for a rest as we are lazy people who were a little hung over from the night before. We then went out and met up with nacho again where we had a few beers and an early night! While we chatting though the idea to go to sayulita came up, i jumped at the chance to travel more so eme agreed we would leave his car behind and head off to sayulita the day after tomorrow! 

Road trip day 2!




Goood Morning! Boy did i have fun yesterday evening/night! 
Sooo after i shut off from you guys i popped my comfy shoes on and we headed of to the temple, after getting so lost we finally found it, we realized we must of had our head in then clouds because it was hard to miss hahah, it was extremely stunning, big archways and beautiful stain glass windows.

We followed the temple with a sneak peek at Parque Agua Azul however it was closing and so most of the interesting stuff was locked up! However i would like to say a big thanks to the security gard who snuck us in after closing so we could get the jist! It looked very cool so we agreed to return today. After our little adventure around the the city we got ready to go on out! I met up with Natcho at the black sheep, very cool bar by the way, its in this cute little square with fairie lights on the outside and a campy feel to the tables that sit under shelter, their pizzas are made in a log oven so i enjoyed the smokey scent of the wood burning while i gulped down fairly priced beer. It was good to see Nacho again, he hadnt changed a bit except instead of his hair being the fuzzy afro i remembered it had been slicked and styled so the curles sat neatly on his head. We talked alot about the last two and a half years and he enthusiastically gave me the download on how his band is going. They are doing pretty well,  at the moment and are on the verge of a record deal with a mexican label. Though most of their songs are in spanish a few are in english so if your interested go check them out their name is Barston, their genre is pop/rock and i think they are pretty grovayyyy.
Barston, Nacho is the one in black haha!


 Any way after a couple of beers we bounced and headed to an underground bar/club that Eme's friend took us to called UV, if your in the area and you like electro and minimal music you will love it. Filled with hipster types and cool wall art the place is pretty chilled and has a good vibe. I thought the boys how to dance and had a jolly old time giggling at Nachos lack of rhythm.  


Us at UV arent i cool? left to right: Me, Eme, Pacco, Nacho


At around  one thirty we decided it was time to move on so Pacco, Emes friend led us to another club, the lines were long but it wasnt too hard for us to get in, i can't remember the name unfortunately but the interior was pretty cool, fashioned like an old english pub but had hardly any where to sit meaning it had a massive dance floor that was packed with fancy arty types and guys wearing paisley shirts. It was cool, but it was getting late and i wasnt feeling the atmosphere so after an hour or so i decided it was home time as i was nackered. Stumbling in at three thirty i crashed hard and got a rough sleep. After i have got some food in me and had a chance to explore i will check in with my thoughts on the day so far.
