Blending would be combining things together to make a new mixture. It could not be undone. Consider blending strawberries and ice cream together in a blender.
Mixing can be undone. Consider trail mix, made from nuts and raisins. You could pick out all the raisins to return to the original ingredients.

You are very helpful! Thanks a million ^_^

While what geoffb said is true, you will hear "mix" where "blend" would be appropriate. I have seen countless times on baking instructions (like for a cake) it will say "mix" almost always.
I would honestly reserve "blend" for when a blender is involved and just use mix for everything else.

That's a good point.
So mixing can be used for either of the definitions I used above, whereas blending is restricted only to the inseparable mixing of materials.
