something about me ;)

Hi, my name is paula i´m 18 years old, in 2016 i met the kpop and i became a fan of Blackpink and then i met stray kids and now im a big fan of them, and the others groups of the industry.

i like how to recreate pinteres oufits but i don´t feel comfortable to use them in my daily life. i think i can say i´m a big fan about clothing brands because my dad have a american clothes store and i learned from there.

about makeup, i love it too but i don´t know a lot, i know more about skincare products.

i´m from La Calera and i travel every day sadly. I want to become a teacher because i interesting about the lenguage, and was easy for me in the school, but now i´m scared because i think everyone have a better level of english than me. but i don´t wanna give up already. I´m introverted but with close friend and my parents i don´t act shy.

i hope to improve and learn more my english and stop using the translator. Seeya 😉
