🇪🇸🇹🇷🇲🇽
Currently, I am a social media marketing student at VC, which will later transfer and achieve a degree in International Relations as well. I love traveling, shopping, exploring new places, listening to urban music, and watching my favorite football team which is FC Barcelona and Spain's national team. My overall goal is to work for a fashion, beauty, or even sports team to promote their brand. I would love to work in the United Nations as well to combat problems all over the world. In the future, I want to have my own business and create beauty products.
Jaydin, Itzel, and Joselyn spent Easter Eve wrapped in the warm charm of the Heaven Made Market, where the coffee is rich, the flowers are fresh, and every small business feels like family. We found the sweetest vintage pieces, got permanent jewelry with meaning, and treated ourselves to cookies that tasted like childhood.
Come along in the vlog — it’s one of those days we’ll never forget.

We’ve all had those bad hair days! When no product seems to work, and your hair has a mind of its own. Hair is often seen as a reflection of our identity and health, yet many people don’t truly understand what their hair needs to thrive. Effective hair care starts with knowing your hair type, scalp condition, and the ingredients that actually make a difference. But what if the secret to great hair isn’t in how much you use, but how well you understand your hair’s unique needs?

Hair porosity refers to how quickly your hair will take in and retain moisture. It is predicated on the well-being of the outer sheath of your hair, which is the cuticle, which opens and shuts to take in or out water. There are three levels of hair porosity:
𝙇𝙤𝙬 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮
Cuticles are tightly closed.
Hair tends to resist moisture, making it harder for water or products to penetrate.
It may take a long time for hair to get wet and also to dry.
Signs: Product buildup, water beads on hair, hair feels dry but is hard to moisturize.
Tips: Use lightweight, water-based products. Apply heat (like warm water or a steamer) when deep conditioning to help open the cuticle.
𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙪𝙢 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 = 𝙉𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙧
Cuticles are slightly open, allowing moisture in and out with ease.
Hair is generally healthy, manageable, and holds styles well.
Signs: Accepts moisture easily, dries at a normal rate, doesn’t tangle too much.
Tips: Stick to a balanced routine-moisturize regularly, and avoid excessive heat or chemicals to maintain porosity.
𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮
Cuticles are raised or damaged, often due to heat, color treatments, or genetics.
Hair absorbs moisture quickly but loses it just as fast.
Signs: Frizz, tangling, dryness, and quick drying time.
Tips: Use heavier products like creams, oils, and protein treatments to seal in moisture and strengthen the hair. Avoid heat and harsh chemicals when possible.

It’s a simple way to figure out how well your hair absorbs and holds moisture. Here’s the most common method:
Important tip: Make sure your hair is freshly washed before testing! Oils and products can mess with the result.

Hair type refers to the natural shape or pattern of your hair strands, and it plays a big role in how your hair behaves, what products work best, and how to care for it. Hair types are usually categorized into four main groups (Type 1 to Type 4), with subcategories (A, B, C) to describe the texture more specifically.
Hair color analysis is the method of determining the colors and tones that most suit your natural coloring- such as your skin tone, eye color, and natural hair color. It assists individuals in selecting hair colors (and sometimes makeup or attire) that improve their overall appearance. This is sometimes associated with the idea of seasonal color analysis, which categorizes individuals as spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
Determine Your Skin Tone:
Cool undertones: Pink, red, or bluish hues. Veins may appear blue. Skin burns easily.
Warm undertones: Golden, peachy, or yellow hues. Veins may look green. Skin tans easily.
Neutral undertones: A mix of warm and cool.
2. Match Hair Color to Undertones:
Cool undertones: Look best with ashy blondes, cool browns, jet black, or cool reds like burgundy.
Warm undertones: Look good with golden blondes, honey browns, copper, and warm reds.
Neutral undertones: Can wear a wide range of colors, both warm and cool.
3. Consider Eye Color:
Cool-toned eyes: Icy blue, grey, deep brown.
Warm-toned eyes: Amber, hazel with gold or green, light brown.
4. Seasonal Analysis:
Spring: Light eyes, fair warm skin. Best with warm blondes, strawberry blondes, and light golden browns.
Summer: Cool undertones, soft features. Best with ash blondes, cool browns, and rose golds.
Autumn: Warm undertones, deep eye color. Best with rich auburn, copper, and chestnut browns.
Winter: Cool undertones, high contrast (pale skin/dark hair). Best with deep blacks, cool browns, and icy blondes.
Why is a Hair Color Analysis Important?
It prevents the use of colors that don’t go well with your skin tone (which would leave your complexion dull or pale) and instead enhances your own natural glow. It’s particularly helpful before significant color transitions or lightening/darkening (or vice versa).
Fashion is a form of self-expression through clothing, accessories, makeup, etc. It isn’t only important because of the fact you express yourself through it, but because it could show something cultural/ historical which could include an iconic piece from the 1800s, a traditional costume, or even a way to express your beliefs. Most importantly, it can help politically when awareness needs to be brought to an issue or situation happening worldwide. An amazing example of this could be the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. Ukranian model Ilona Chernobai attended the event wearing a dress with both colors of the Ukraian flag (blue & yellow), and then she poured herself with fake blood to protest the devastating continuing war happening between Ukraine and Russia.
As the world continues to evolve in every aspect of fashion, these are a couple of the trends I believe will be coming this summer. From high-end luxury to everyday affordable wear, the upcoming trends for the hot, fresh, and tropical weather. Get ready to meet the next big things this summer season!

This style combines bohemian and hippie fashion influences. It’s a relaxed and free vibe with a mixture of dramatic flowing fabrics with neutral & earth tones. This includes vintage pieces, chunky belts, and cowboy boots. The main staple pieces that play a huge role in this style are the chunky, layered statement jewelry and silk scarves to add a touch to it. This style is seen the most in musical festivals like Coachella and EDC.
For women, polka dots are back! No matter how big or small, this pattern can be styled in many ways. From playful or sophisticated, it depends on the variety of the occasion. Polka dots are considered classy, fresh, and modern but at the same time retro, depending on the style. They are timeless, and they are back to stay!
Floral prints are the moment for men this spring & summer! They are styled in many ways, as shown in the image above. It could be the whole outfit, or it could be a statement piece to add that bold touch to any outfit. You can find floral prints for everyday wear or more formal, you name it! Shirts, Shorts, Blazers, and etc, floral is ready to give you that boost of confidence.
Capri pants are the perfect option for the warm weather while still offering more coverage than shorts for those who appreciate it. They can be used as casual wear or made more formal with some kitten heels and a blouse. Capris are great when you still want to be comfortable because they are often made of breathable fabrics in every color!
Short shorts for men are in! Thank Mr. Paul Pascal for bringing them back. These shorts are perfect for everyday wear; you can use them for sports, casual days, formal evenings- you name it. This summer staple is great for staying cool on hot summer days and staying cool since they are made with lightweight fabrics for comfort.
The classic look from the 2000s is back! It’s ready to make a comeback and create stylish and unique looks. This must be basic for many, but it’s a staple piece for every day when you want to run errands or just want to be a bit more stylish with a mix and match of different shades of denim. Denim is the best way to stay comfortable but still look fashionable and make a statement.
How can we forget about sports?! Sports jerseys are absolutely everywhere, you can find them not only when watching your favorite sports game but also on the runaway. Vintage and retro jerseys are back and ready to be celebrate or to be upgraded in a more fashionable way! Look at Georgina Rodriguez for a example, she is wearing a custom VETEMENTS jersey gown signed by her partner, Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2024-25 fall/winter show. Wearing sports jerseys are not only for fashion trends, but they are conversation starters and the perfect staple piece to style your outfit from with jeans, skirts or even over layering it for a more creative look! Its a great way to blend streetwear into high fashion by making it a personal and meaningful choice when it comes to choosing your favorite team or player. Say yes to being comfortable, supportive, and fashionable all in one!
