Last weekend I wore this little look to a friend's baby shower. It was a chilly day as it has been (not this week!) So I wore this pretty silk long sleeve blouse from Boden I loved the color when choosing a piece. Boden is a British boutique that has really nice pieces for the whole family (direct link to the blouse below). I love the color and the fact that I can wear it all throughout the year. I think it is so important to have a neutral blouse in your closet because the possibilities are endless. In this case I wore it with my go-to short black skirt from Express I've had for more than 8 years. And my favorite Zara color blocked suede pumps. This look definitely reminded me of something I would wear in the fall.

El fin de semana pasado tuve un Baby Shower de una buena amiga. Me puse este look de bluse mangas larga y faldita negra. Esta blusa de seda es de Boden una boutique de Britana que tiene ropa para toda la familia. Pueden ver donde comprar la blusa abajo en el enlace. Me encanto el color cuando la escogi porque combina con muchas cosas. Tener una bluse de seda de color neutro en sus closet es muy importante ya que es super versatil y les va con muchas piezas diferentes. Lo combine con esta falda de Express viejisima y mis zapatos favoritos de gamusa de Zara. Este look me recuerda del otono que ya esta casi aqui.

I love a casual weekend look. And this weekend was no exception. I've had this white jean shorts for a very long time, they re my favorite and I'll never let them go. I wore them with  this classic polka dot blouse from OASAP. I wanted to add a little oomph so I wore a red lip by MAC and my go to red bag. Of course add in some fab sunnies, like my Kardashian Kollection sunnies and you are ready to be fab and casual.

Lo mas rico es sentirse comoda, y a mi me encanta estar comoda y a la moda a la misma vez. El fin de semana pasado me puse este look casual - estos shorts son mis favoritos y los he tenido por anios. Son de Express y super cheveres y comodos. Me puse esta blusa de OASAP y le anadi un lapiz labial rojo y cartera del mismo color para darle un pop a este look simple y clasico. Y por supuesto gafas de sol!

How many of you always wonder "how can I get that amazing hair on that video or in that telenovela?" I know I do! Well today I am bringing you a great how-to tutorial and video where you can easily see how to achieve those gorgeous loose curls. Maite Perroni just release her much anticipated new music video for "Vas a Querer Volver" and her hair as always looked like perfection. I am happy to share with you my take on the behind the scenes how-to tutorial her hair stylist created alongside Maite. I will be using the Pantene No Crunch Curls Whip along with other great Pantene products that leave my hair looking and feeling amazing. None of that super crunchy and sticky wet look, the total opposite ladies, I achieved a soft and pretty wavy look which I love for not just going out and looking glam but even for an everyday look. The steps are super simple and easy to achieve for anyone. Below are some photos so you can see exactly what I used and I am also adding the how-to video at the end of the post as well as a little fun surprise you will sure love! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Tag me so I can see your results when you try it!
I first started off by applying the No Crunch Curls Whip all over my hair. This amazing products softens my hair while detangling and getting rid of those unwanted frizzies! And what is best it does not leave you with that sticky feel or crunchy hair. It helps lock in your curls to last all day even to the next day ladies.

After applying a good amount of the Pantene No Crunch Curl Whip to my hair. I began to part it in 2 inch sections and started to curl the hair half down my roots. I held the curling wand for about 10 seconds and let it down. I did this all over my hair until I was satisfied with the curls and look. 

After curling my entire head, I brushed out the curls softly with a brush. Then applied Pantene Pro-V Stylers Texturizing Sculpting Wax which helped my fly-aways stay in place and left my hair feeling smooth and soft for a natural curl look which I love. I always love loose curls, they look so effortless.

I then finished off my look by spritzing a bit of Pantene Pro-V Stylers Flexible Hold Spray. This helped my look last all day without a hard feel on my curls. 

This look took me about 25 minutes to achieve, that's because I have a lot of hair, a lot of LONG hair. But it was still super simple and easy and ladies using the Pantene products help my curls last until the next day. You too can get these effective and inexpensive products at Walmart, so visit your local Walmart for all your favorite Pantene products. Here is the behind the scenes video where you can see the beautiful Maite Perroni and her hair stylist Gabriel Samra show us how to achieve her beautiful look, just like I did. Check out the video HERE.

So as you all may have heard Summer in the East Coast was cut short ladies + gents! We've had some amazing weather but definitely more like spring/fall but I am not complaining. It's been beautiful. Last Friday, my sweet hubby + I played hookie and we enjoyed a fun day out. We lunched at one of my favorite places in Hoboken, a latin restaurant with amazing delicious food from various Latin countries, called Zafra. So I wore this super cute long sleeve shift-style dress from OASAP which I loved from the moment I saw! And ladies at just $19 it is a steal! I think it's such a great summer/fall piece... Easily transition it into fall by wearing knee length boots and voila! If you love it as much as I do, you can now get it HERE.

Como ya han de saber el verano aqui en New Jersey ha sido super corto. Pero eso no significa que no ha sido hermoso igual. Hemos tenido temperaturas frescas, mas o menos de primavera pero los dias han estado hermosos. Y el viernes pasado mi esposo y yo decidimos disfrutar el dia y salimos a almorzar a uno de mis restaurantes favoritos de Hoboken, se llama Zafra, es latino-americano y es riquisimo. Me puse este vestido super chic que ademas de lindo es super barato, a tan solo $19 en la boutique de internet OASAP. Lo que me gusta tanto es que no tan solo es de verano, porque lo puedes transisionar a un estilo de otonio con tan solo ponerte botas altas y ya! Estas lista! Si quieres comprar este vestido lo puedes hacer AQUI.

Happy Monday!
And what better way to start off this amazing beautiful week than with a beauty post with none other than my favorite skin care brand Neutrogena. Ladies, you have seen me use Neutrogena many times and I continue to collaborate with them because I genuinely love what it does to my skin and I have read some of your comments on how it is your go-to skin care regimen brand too. There is something so important about taking care of ourselves inside and out and I can do just that with these products. Every morning I start off with my Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser which smells so fresh and clean and leaves my skin feeling as clear and clean as ever while it prevents those annoying breakouts. Follow that by using my Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub - which I use 2 to 3 times a week. It has gentle microbeads which helps smooth away dead skin without irritating. And then I am off to moisturize my face and depending on what I am doing on that day, I either stay makeup free and clean all day or I apply my some makeup. At the end of the night my trick is to remove all my makeup and dirt off with my trusty Neutrogena® Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes Pink Grapefruit for Acne-Prone Skin. They work wonders on my face and they leave my skin feeling cool and refreshed all the way to the next morning. 

So ladies, it is no secret this regimen is what helps me achieve the perfect selfie! Below are some of the tips and tricks I will be sharing all week long in the #NeutrogenaSelfie challenge. I will be posting one photo a day with a quick tip and how you too can join us in this fun challenge, read more below.

4. Smile. A great smile can make anyone's day. Not only is it a great way to have a beautiful picture but it can truly change someone's mood. Next time you pass someone share your beautiful smile!

So happy to bring you a mommy + me post today! I love shooting with my boy. Last Sunday we had a birthday party to attend and we decided to go in matching outfits, except he looked super cool. I bought this shirt for him from Slyfox Threads, a super cool and hip kids online store which I love and follow on Instagram. They have such cool things! B wore his tee with my favorite Children's Place jeans, they have the best jeans for the best prices, win-win and we added these leather sandals from the Gap. He looked adorable, I mean super cool;) And I had to match him by wearing black and jeans too, then added my favorite Rag & Bone hat! You guys have been seeing this hat a lot lately and will for a while more!

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with JOHNSON’S® Baby and Latina Bloggers Connect.

This week is extra special for me. Extra emotional. Extra memorable. Extra touching. My son was born on August 8, 2011. Three amazing years ago. The best of my entire life. Truly. And life has never been the same since. The amount of joy he brings into our lives is truly un-measurable. There are no words and there will never even be enough moments in my lifetime to really describe and capture everything he is to me. He is simply more than me. He is all of  me, all of my life, all of my thoughts, all of my emotions. He is my happiness, my laughter, my worries, my sleepless nights. And there is nothing more I want in the world than to promise my beautiful, intelligent, precious boy that I will always and forever be by his side... always. Wishing him health and most of all HAPPINESS. Staring at his peaceful sleep every night and morning. Kissing his delicious feet. Looking over his pictures, thinking back to every memory we've had. And most of all aiming to make him a great, amazing, successful, adventurous, fearless, kind, humble and mostly HAPPY human being. Because nothing in the world compares to being happy. Truly happy. And that is what he has given me and that is what I want to give him for the rest of his life. Because he is amazing. There is no one I rather spend my days with than him and I am so blessed to be able to enjoy every. single. day. of his life.
B, I promise:
...to give you everything that you NEED.
...to be the best teacher I can be.
...to be the best nurse and heal your wounds.
...to always be there for you.
...to teach you right from wrong.
...to raise you to be a humble and kid gentleman.
...to teach the value of love and not just money.
...to always make your favorite foods.
...to always say your prayers with you.
...to never miss the important moments in your life.
...to always kiss you good night.
...to always have our family hugs.

and to keep you safe...

...from the inside out. That is why I committed to this amazing collaboration with Johnson & Johnson. Because my son is my world and I love the Johnson Baby Promise. Many of us moms had been concerned about the products used in our Johnson's baby products and this is why they took it a step further by removing the ingredients, not because of safety but because of peace of mind. Because they understand us, as moms, as parents. And I love that. Here is an amazingly touching and sweet video, it is an open letter to all moms. And you have to see how Johnson & Johnson decided to deliver that promise, by giving us a sweet and symbolic promise, an open letter to us. And I am so happy they did. Here is the video. Enjoy!
