Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat

Strawberry Shortcake Live

Last weekend, my daughter and I headed out to have our own little mommy/daughter day. This day outing was a tad extra special because we were heading to see Strawberry Shortcake and her friends. Now Strawberry and I have been friends since I was a little girl, and now, my daughter is a a huge fan as well. So we sat (or well, I sat, she danced non stop...kids and energy!) and listened … [Read more...]

A Date With Friends and a Manicure #CVSNuance

#CVSNuance by Salma Hayek

I have some pretty fabulous friends...but getting time to spend together in between kids, work and just life, well, is almost impossible. But lucky for me, CVS made sure we had an excuse to get together and I got to host 9 of my friends at the trendy Bellacures in Beverly Hills for an amazing moisturizing manicure with Salma Hayek's Nuance. I also got a chance to show off some of Nuance's … [Read more...]

Los Angeles, I’m Kinda In Love With You #LoveThisCity #Cbias #SocialFabric

TheLondonHotelWestHollywood

There's something special about being from Los Angeles that being from any other city can't match. Believe me, I have heard the arguments. Sure, I am biased... I was born right in the heart of L.A. Just two miles outside of downtown and on the edge of Echo Park at Queen of Angels Hospital (a building rich in Los Angeles history and is now, a Dream Center) is where I took my very first breaths. I … [Read more...]

It’s The Most Magical Time of the Year #DisneyHolidays

ItsaSmallWorld

Living in Southern California makes the holidays a little more unique. Our holidays are often spent in beautiful 70 degree weather, without a snowflake in sight. What we also get to experience is the Disneyland Resort magical transformation to celebrate the holiday season. The Holiday transformation is just as awe inspiring and magical. We were lucky enough to experience both parks...or should … [Read more...]

The Nissan Pathfinder at the L.A. Auto Show- The Car for Family Roadtrips #NissanEspanol #NissanPathfindr

FINAL NISSAN ENDCARD

Now that my daughter is older and doesn't whine over being in a car for over an hour (thanks for teaching her that my dear 100 and 405 freeways), we are starting to think about taking a few more family roadtrips. The problem, however, is space. The man is 6'3 and needs leg room, so if the seat goes too far back, my daughter can basically kick him the entire ride because her legs are also very long … [Read more...]

LA Auto Show with GM- Day 1 (Or How I Fell in Love with the Chevy Impala)

When I was asked by Yolanda to cover the LA Auto Show for her as a part of the GM Influencer program, I was excited...and scared. I don't know about cars. I don't know what torque is. I don't really understand horse power...except that it makes your car go fast. I wasn't sure what I was going to do or ask while I was there. Yolanda assured me that they were interested in what I thought as a … [Read more...]

Moms Who Inspire

supermom

It used to be that moms were the ones that stayed home, minded the kids, made cookies and said "wait til your father gets home." Man, those days are SO far gone. Today, moms are kinda like Wonder Woman... they raise children, while holding careers, managing a household, and they are out there inspiring people to do things. They are women, just like your mom, or my mom, or even me. Red … [Read more...]
