PERSONAL | | THE TEENAGE ROYALTY IS MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY...TOMORROW!!

Excitement. Happiness. Fulfillment. That is what my heart is feeling right now. I can’t believe that I’m about to embark on my biggest adventure of all times. From tomorrow, and until the middle of July, I’m going to move to New York City to intern for WCMG Events, one of the best event companies in the city. And, of course, I’m going to give you the inside scoop about everything that will happen to me on the Big Apple. Expect photos from the beautiful city, the incredible events that I’m going to plan, the outfits that I’m going to wear and, of course, all the happy moments that will fulfill my heart with joy. I feel so blessed to be able to go to New York and to intern for one of the best event companies there is. It is an honor to have this experience. I hope the blog grows while I’m there and I will show you everything. I really want you Teens to be on this journey with me. I promise I won’t let you down. New York City, here I come!!

PERSONAL | | DETAILS OF MY BEDROOM

My room is still a work in progress. I moved to this house one year and a half ago. During the first six months I was interning for Revista of Expresso Newspaper and, during the other entire year, I was living in Switzerland. My room is very big and I want to improve so many things. I only live with the essentials. But I am moving to New York in less than one month so I do not feel like spending a lot of money on new stuff for the room. So that is why my room is so simple. I also do not spend a lot of time in the house, which is very unfortunate because I remember telling my parents, when they bought this house, that I wanted to turn my room into a place where all my friends could come and hang out. But, well, I was busy or abroad most of the time so my room is still a bit empty, but still very personal. My favorite place to shop for things for my room is IKEA. Every time I go there I come home with new items. It is the perfect place to buy stuff for your house. How about you? How does your room reflect your personality?

PERSONAL | | SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN LX FACTORY

First of all, I want to wish you, your family and friends a Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true and let’s make 2014 an unforgettable year. For this year’s first blog post I decided to show you some pictures I took last Sunday in Lx Factory. This amazing place right by the river was strongly missed while I was in Switzerland. It has shops and restaurants that you can’t miss out at all. To eat I highly suggest you the Burger Factory, the chocolate cake at Landeau (the best chocolate cake in Lisbon, believe me) and, of course, the incredible cakes at O Bolo da Marta (which was closed so I wasn’t able to take pictures). To shop, I suggest you Bairro Arte (if you want to buy a gift and if you are not sure about what to buy, go there and you will find very creative ideas). To buy some crafts I suggest you Wish and, for clothing, A Showroom is a very good option. I love going to Lx Factory to search for some creativeness and I also like when they organize parties there. I will strongly miss this place when I move to New York in a few days (still don’t know exactly which day it is but I will let you know, of course) :)

PERSONAL | | A BRAND NEW YEAR IS COMING

Today I realized it is just four days until 2014 starts. So today I want to look back and remember this past year. I am going to be very straight forward with you. This past year was probably the hardest year of my life. Imagine yourselves living, first on top of a mountain, than in the middle of nowhere in Switzerland, away from your friends and family. I know that all the pictures I posted on my Instagram made it look like I was having the time of my life. Though I was having a good time, this year was emotionally very challenging for me. Of course I made amazing friends and met many cool people. But for me it was very hard to be away from home in Switzerland. Anyhow, I don’t regret anything at all. Going to Switzerland to do a Post-Graduate Diploma in Event, Sport and Entertainment Management was the best decision I made in a long time. I learnt so much and it really challenged me. From this year I’m taking many good friends, cool experiences and a lot of knowledge. And 2013 made me realize how strong I am and the amazing things I can conquer.

So, now it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. This year I want to become the best I can possibly be. First of all, I’m moving to New York in the end of January/ beginning of February to intern for WCMG Events and that will be, for sure, the best experience of my life. I can’t wait to live for six months in New York. I’m super curious about what this experience will bring me and I will share every bit of it here on the blog with you guys. Second of all, I need to accept that exercise is the biggest anti-depressive in the world and that I need to start going to the gym to release all my endorphins every day. This is very important. I want to become the best in everything I do. For this blog, I want to start blogging every day, starting from the first of January, about fashion, music, lifestyle, and, most of all, I want to keep sharing details of my life and I’m 100% sure that this blog will grow loads during my stay in New York. I want to have the best year I can possibly have, honestly. I want it to be the year of the search of my true happiness. I want to search for it and feel truly happy. And I suggest you do the same. That’s my wish for you for 2014. Just be happy and try to take the best out of every day. I will be here to read your comments to all my posts and to learn from you too. I wish the best for you and your families and if you guys need anything or want to talk to me you can always e-mail me at theteenageroyalty@hotmail.com.

Let’s make 2014 “The” Year. Xoxo,

Rita
