How TheModMermaid Got Her Groove Back

Someone should just stop me and tell me how cheesy that title is. I couldn't help myself, sorry! How have you all been? I hope well and feeling nothing like how I felt whilst writing my last post about two weeks ago. I reread it and am now hoping to never be in such a scary place like that again. Although I know it's inevitable, eek. As for right now, I'm back and refreshed - ready to jump back into my b-game (blogging game! b-game, get it? someone ... seriously ... stop me!) I just got back from my trip to Cancun with my mom and sister. We raged every night and I met so many hot guys, it was JUST what I needed. LOL, okay I'm fibbing so hard. To be honest we woke up early, ate breakfast, laid out at the beach or poolside, ate some lunch, laid out some more, chilled in our room, had dinner, and fell asleep before the 9:30 entertainment had begun every night. I know, you're all thinking, "what a waste of a trip to Cancun" but seriously the weather was awesome and rest was just what the doctor ordered for me after a grueling two weeks in school. The beach itself had a calming effect on me, it always does. I love the ocean and the beach. So before I get back into the beauty swing of things, today I thought I'd share some photos of my trip!

My first hour at the hotel with late breakfast in front of me! I hadn't slept the night before because I was up finishing my paper and didn't submit it until right before I left for the airport!

Giant rock on the beach! Look how blue and clear the water was! So different from New York water, that's for sure, haha!

There was an infinity pool! The tiles on the pool floor matched the different colors of the ocean. If you put your head on the pool deck it'd look like there were palm trees just jutting out of the water! 

My sister learned to carve designs into fruit! There's a useful skill if I ever did see one, haha!

A typical lunch for me, haha. There was always so much to choose from and I always needed to put salsa on everything. It was awesome with a burger! 

This is probably my favorite picture because it looks like I paid $59 for a cup of Starbucks Coffee! It was 59 pesos but you'd never know just looking at it!

I made a friend! 

More scenic shots! It's so beautiful and these pictures are making me think my vacation was way too short! 

My sister and I rode on wave runners. We, of course, squealed like hyenas fearing for our lives because we were terrified of tipping over! We didn't thank goodness but our wave runner started smoking and it was honestly just so scary! We tried to pretend we were in a James Bond movie but every time we did we almost go knocked over by a wave or you know ... crashed into another wave runner, no biggie!

Selfless family mirror pic portrait! A classy bunch going out to celebrate my mom's birthday!

This was my favorite outfit/look that I wore on the entire vacation. It was the only time I dressed up, actually! The dress is from Forever21 which I featured in my MerHaul here. My wedges (if you can even see them, haha!) are from Aldo's.

On my face I'm wearing:
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in B20 (I think, it's the lightest shade they make, hah!)
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent
MAC Amberlights eyeshadow all across the lid and then blending out the edges
MAC Black Track Fluidline on the upper lashline
Benefit's They're Real mascara
NARS Orgasm blush
MAC Venus lipstick

Hope you guys enjoyed seeing some snaps from my vacation! I only just got back and am already wondering when I can go on another! Oh well, at least I still have the rest of my Spring Break off from classes to look forward to and then IMATS in just 10 more days! Are any of you lovelies going? :) I'd love to know!

Till' next time (and there shall be a next time quite soon!!)
