DINNER IDEAS: ARROZ VERDE

March 30, 2016
I am so excited to share my very first video recipe on my YouTube channel. You guys have asked for it over and over and I am so happy to oblige. I wanted to make sure my first recipe was a simple but delicious one so I made sure to make my famous Arroz Verde for you guys. I cooked this exquisite rice on Easter and it came out so good, everyone loved it. It's such a simple way of spicing up your average everyday white rice and such a fun way to get your guests talking. I definitely recommend you try it. It's so good and different, which I love. White and yellow rice gets boring from time to time. So next time you need a dinner idea, try this one and let me know how it goes!
If you guys enjoy these kind of posts and/or videos please let me know in the comments, I truly love to hear from you guys and like to share what you enjoy most on here and on my YouTube channel.
Stay tuned for more very soon but please bear with me as I am trying to figure out the best way to film my cooking recipes. Thanks for the love so far on this video.

SLEEVELESS COATS FOR SPRING

March 21, 2016
Happy first day of Spring! 
I have been obsessing over this sleeveless coat for the passed week. I refuse to wear any more coats. I love that you can wear these so many ways and styles. Dress them up or down. This time I wore this casual look for a little shopping spree for a campaign I have coming up this week. I headed out shopping with Emme so I knew I had to be comfortable. I usually wear this with a sweater or long sleeve cotton top but this time I decided to do a button up and I love the way

VASELINE x GIGI NEW YORK

March 11, 2016
Happy Friday! 
The weather is getting warmer and personally I am just happy I don't have to wear a coat or even a jacket anymore. So you will pretty much see me in this little get-up on a daily basis. Black leggings, a cute sweater and a chic and super functional tote are my go-to #ootd for running errands and hanging out with my kids. Nothing like being comfortable but still a little stylish. I love long days spent

WHITE LACE MIDI DRESS

March 8, 2016
So yesterday, you read all about DAY ONE of my travel diary from my trip to California, where I attended We All Grow Summit. And today I wanted to mix it up a little bit and share what I wore on day dos... so for today's post I am sharing an outfit of the day. I love, love, loved this dress from the moment I saw it at Lulu's. It's timeless and classic and simply all around perfection. The midi was perfect for my first full day of sessions and keynote panels at WAG. I paired this dress with these amazing blush-pink-caged-heeled sandals (say that 5x fast!) and they were the most comfortable heels ever! So much so that

WE ALL GROW DIARY | DAY ONE

March 7, 2016
I honestly don't know where to begin to describe the last few days I just spent in California. As you may already know (hello! Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!) I attended the amazing We All Grow Summit in Long Beach, California. It was the first time I traveled without my kids and to be honest, it was a very difficult but very necessary decision I knew I had to make. And let me tell you, it was all worth it. I was so nervous leaving them, but they stayed with the two people I trust the most in the world; my mom and my husband. So I knew they would be in great hands. So off I went... I didn't know much of what to expect, I just knew I had to be there. See, We All Grow is a

VICKS VAPORUB | #VAPOLOVE

March 2, 2016
This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Vicks VapoRub and Latina Bloggers Connect. As always all opinions are my own.
For as long as I can remember my mom, just like every other Hispanic mother, has been telling me to use Vicks Vaporub or "Vivaporu" for every ache and pain. From when I was a little kids to now... I am 31 years old. And to be honest, these are those sweet warm memories I cherish. I clearly remember my mom using Vicks for her headaches... for my gripes, for my bruises... and for a zillion other illnesses. And now that I am a mom I find myself doing the same with my 4 year old (can be used on kids 2 years and up). I trust Vicks more than anything in the world, something that has been instilled in my for as long as
