How to achieve your resolutions + printable

How many times have you found yourself at the end of the year writing new resolutions and wondering what happened with the ones you wrote last year?. If you are one of the few that actually accomplishes more than 50% of the goals you set yourself then CONGRATULATIONS! 

But the majority of us feel like we haven't done most of the things we wanted to do, and why is that?

• Maybe you wrote down some unrealistic goals, like quitting your job and making $100.000 from your blog. Let's be serious, that's not going to happen. Goals need to be realistic, measurable and with a deadline. Saying that you want to lose 1 kg. or 2 pounds per month is more attainable.
• You had too many goals. Focus on just a few rather than going crazy with lots.
• You didn't write them down, or if you did you forgot about them the next week. A solution for this is to print a piece of paper (like the one I'm giving to you) with specific goals, an action plan with deadlines and put it in a visible place.
• You wrote resolutions just for the heck of it. If they don't "speak" to you they won't motivate you. State a goal like it's your life mission for that year. 

The list could go on and on, but this post is not about that, on the contrary, I want to help you plan and monitor your goals.

The most useful and productive webapp ever and 10 clever ways to use it {14 days}

Last night I had a great time with my family because my father-in-law pulled off a perfect evening for my bday, I was kind of scared I had to suspend it because of the bad weather but everything worked out just fine despite of it. Today, I'm blogging from Caracas, my mother and I planned to come see my family once again (they all live here).

Today's post is about a crazy productive web service that lets you create awesome connections using different triggers and actions to create "recipes", this service is called IFTTT (If this then that)

An explanation if you haven't heard of it: there are over 50 different channels like facebook, twitter, dropbox, evernote among others, when you want to create a recipe you need a trigger that leads to an action for example:

1. For this recipe I used Instagram channel as a trigger and dropbox as the actions which means that everytime I post a photo on instagram it automatically saves in a dropbox folder.

There are crazy amount of clever things you can create using IFTTT:

2. I use it to tweet when I post something on my blog, it's a great way to let your readers know you just posted something.

3. To archive on google calendar everytime I tweet something, if you want to keep track of your tweets this is the best way to do it.

4. To Add to Google Calendar everytime I do a check in on Foursquare, to keep track of your every move.

5. To add on facebook your instagram pics when you upload them.

You can also browse different recipes from other users you can use like:

6. Every time you are tagged in a photo on Facebook, it will be sent to Dropbox.

7. Save Favorite Tweets in a single Evernote.

8. Send email for new craigslist postings in the search result that you are interested in.

9. When a new Blog post is published, add to BufferApp.

10. Pinterest pin with keyword to Twitter.

They are very easy and fun to create. I hope this post was informative to you, if you wish I post about something in specific let me know :)

How to Pull a Perfect Eyeline Flick {22 days}

Ever since I know how to do my makeup my "signature look" has been the cat eyeliner. Throughout my life I've perfection it and I nail it every time I use this technique. 

For this tutorial I used Lab Colors Perfect eye liner from Lay Pro but my absolute favorite is Revlon Colorstay liquid eye pen, if you can buy Revlon's eyeliner.

1. I always start in the middle to the outer corner, to see how thick the eyeline is going to be.

2. Then I finish filling the eyeline from the inner corner.

3. This is the most important part of the whole thing: follow the line of your eye, if you are not that pro you can draw some dots or draw a very clear line to where you want the flick to finish.

4. At this point you should connect the two points from the flick to the outer corner, making a slight curve, or if you want another effect, link them together with a straight line.

5. Lastly, you should fill the white space et voilá!

Do you have a signature look? Tell me about it! I hope you liked this post :)
