This is sponsored post with Frito Lay. My family and I have been eagerly awaiting summer to begin. My husband is an avid griller and we love grilled food! This past weekend Los Angeles hit some record highs (um...103!!!) but since it was both his birthday and mother's day, we invited some of the family over for a cook out. Of course, we had to do it our way and our way is not … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post via Latina Bloggers Connect. Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I had been part of round one of lay offs for a company where the recession was just hitting. It sucked. I was young and completely lost on what I was going to do. When I finally decided to pursue being a Paralegal as a career, I had my first interview at a non-profit Immigration Law Office. I didn't have … [Read more...]
As the days get warmer, the less I want my face full of makeup and things that can clog up my pores. I go really light with my beauty routine and aim for a beachy look. The key to a beachy look? A summer glow.Most days I wash my face, tone, apply eye cream (oh to be 18 again!), and then I add my new favorite tool... Jergens Natural Glow Face Moisturizer. Not only does it work as a moisturizer, but … [Read more...]
I live in an apartment building. I love my apartment and all it comes with but since I moved from a lower unit to a higher (bigger) one, I lost my outdoors space. Lowe's challenged us this month to have a mini-outdoors makeover, which I knew would be a challenge since now I just have a narrow balcony. I love balconies, but mine needed some serious help. See Example A: So how do … [Read more...]
It's 103 today and summer has not even begun! Living in Sunny SoCal can be very hot in the summer, so when the kiddos are home on summer break you wrack your brain looking for things to do in southern California with kids and ways to not only have fun but stay cool. For us the answer comes at Knott's Soak City. Last year, I didn't get to go cause I was traveling so much but this year, I am … [Read more...]
I have this really bad way of dealing with things that I either find way too emotionally hurting or confusing. I ignore them. I know... I know, I'm an idiot. Working on it. So now that you know a little about me... let's begin. When I was about 13/14 yrs old, I met my father. It wasn't the first time, it was just the first time I could actually remember it. All I knew about he and my mother was … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago, I was invited to check out what's coming to Knott's Berry Farm this summer by participating in an exclusive- invite only Hard Hat tour of the new Boardwalk and Log Ride. Now, you guys know that my family and I are huge fans of the park...so I was thrilled to be checking out what goes on behind the scenes! When we entered the Mystery Lodge, our hard hats awaited us … [Read more...]
Watching Iron Man 3, I was in total amazement at how far the movie has come since the first release. I'm not just talking about the graphics, but the complete arcs of the characters involved really take you for an epic adventure. Take Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), for example. In the first movie, she is just Tony Stark's assistant...the smart, level headed female that not only can handle Tony … [Read more...]
The first thing I hear every Saturday morning is the sound of my daughter's feet dashing from her bedroom to ours. Pat-pat-pat she sprints down the hall and then I hear her feet grow softer. That's when I realize she is standing over my head. "Good Morning Mommy! I'm hungry!" That is my wakeup call for the day to begin. I usually glance at the clock and beg it to say something different than it … [Read more...]
It's no secret that I have a love...no, an obsession for nail polish. My poor husband has complained about my drawer of about 125 polishes since we moved in together over 7 years ago. Now, he is outnumbered cause my daughter has acquired my love of polish also. When I got a chance to create some Street Art on my nails thanks to SocialFabric, I jumped at the chance and my daughter and I … [Read more...]
