Blog Renovation

If you didn't notice (because i'm not really that active. haha), my blog posts are gone! I deleted them. You know why? I accidentally washed away all my google photos! How crazy is that?!? My Google Photos, which includes the photos in here and from my Google+ account was synced on my android phone. I want to get rid of them in my gallery so I deleted them all. Tsadaaaa! That's how st*pid I am. haha. So, I'm going to renovate this site. Put some new banners, links and ads. Probably the layout will still be a simple and clean white. Then, (keeping my fingers crossed) i'm going to post more often. Still, I can't decide on a blog title. Do you have any suggestions? I want something connected to flowers or wildflowers, because Aster is a wildflower y'know. Gaaah I'm talking nonsense now. So, that's it for today wednesday! xx, Aster

Blank Document

Have you ever ever been lost on a dark forest? Not literally but that some kind of feeling. I am in that state right now. There's this four layouts that I need to finish for a church event and I just can't make it. Whenever I start on a new blank document, all I do is stare at it for hours. I tried searching google for help but still it doesn't in any way.


I'm feeling so lost that I'm getting confused. I'm doing this for years. I claimed that I am an artist since I was a child for being my creative self all the time. I won contests, I get high grades for my projects at school, I get commended for my creations, but right now, I can no longer find who I am. It felt like I lost a part of myself.

But who's to blame? I rested on this skill. So now that I need it, it just won't let me do it. So may I advise you guys that even though you've taken a different path of your career, you must not let go of your skill. Take time to practice them once in a while. Take time to sharpen them if you have time. Skills are a gift from God that you cannot take off upon yourselves. It is YOU that makes you for who you are.

And as I'm about to finish this post, my fiance sent me this link from odb.org. It summarizes that we should smile at all times because it isn't just good for us but to others who receives our smile as well. Also, God smiles at us to give us peace! Isn't that heartwarming? For the bonus, he sent me this message:

"I am blessed with ur talents and skills and I know, everytime u make layouts for promotions, even if u felt u did not gave ur best, God still smile on u for He is proud of creating u as his daughter. :)"

Can we say "awwww" together? lol. These are the exact words that I needed right now.

The 10 Reasons Why You Should Dress Up Every Day

Dressing up has proven to have the ability to boost your mood and overall confidence. Leaving the house in a wrinkled top, stretched out jeans and shaggy, slept on hair can have you feeling ‘blah’ all day. Nothing feels better than looking good.

You feel great, you act happier and you’re more personable towards the people around you. Sorry to say, but a first impression is truly based off of your appearance. When you look the part people will believe you can perform better. So why not dress to impress?

On a budget? Dressing up doesn’t require you to have a closet full of expensive clothes. Just start by skipping the sweats and aiming for the good stuff. Strive to purchase pieces that will boost your look and create a vision of success through your ensembles.

So whether you are running to the grocery store or heading into the office, start practicing the act of dressing up. Thank me later. Here’s why:

10. Looking good improves your overall mood and personality. 
9. It makes a good impression.
8. You never know who you will run into.  Don’t you want to look your best?
7. Life is too short to wear boring clothes.
6. The feeling of confidence.  When you look great, you feel great.
5. Fashion is a method of self-expression.  Express Yourself!
4. Acts as an instant pick-me-up.
3. If you’ve got it, you should flaunt it.
2. It puts you on your “A” game.
1. You deserve to look fabulous!

So, put on a pretty outfit and walk out that door feeling confident and sexy. Start each day with a positive attitude and a bold appearance. As Rachel Zoe says, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.”
