This is a sponsored post for JCPenney. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. It’s 1 month into 2018, do you know where your resolutions are? If you’re like me, you probably left them in that forgotten abyss of “daily life” and can barely remember what you said you were going to do. For the most part, the usual ‘sleep more, lose weight, etc…’, don’t phase me, but the one I was … [Read more...]
Celebrating A Camry Quince With My Amigas
I never had a quinceanera. A number of different factors went into my not being able to have one, but at the time, I didn't mind. I was too busy trying to be an American teenager- with Nirvana and Pearl Jam on my radio, big plaid shirts and crushing on every grunge-skater boy in my neighborhood. By the time I had my own daughter, I realized just how much I missed out- simply because I wanted … [Read more...]
Zipping Through The Holidays With The Toyota C-HR
The holidays are crazy in Los Angeles. Yes, the weather is still gorgeous (and hot) but our usual terrible traffic becomes even worse, and going out around town to buy everything for your family becomes added stress instead of joy. Unless that is, you get to zip around town in a Toyota C-HR. I have had a deep love for Toyota for years. I have owned two, and once we get our finances in … [Read more...]
Movies Anywhere Will Make Your Holidays Brighter
This is a sponsored post for Movies Anywhere. All thoughts are my own. The holidays tend to stress out most parents, or at least, me... they stress ME out. Suddenly, my quiet home turns into Grand Central with all family descending upon it for our Christmas celebration. But, it's not just Christmas night... I also have a 10 year old that is off from school for 3 weeks, cousins being dropped … [Read more...]
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” Cast On Carrie Fisher, Strong Women and More
STAR WARSSS....nothing but STARRRR WARRSSSS. With the release of the much anticipated "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" right around the corner (only 2 sleeps left!!), we got a chance to chat with the cast and director Rian Johnson, at the press conference in Los Angeles last week. Typically, press gets to watch the film so we can ask film related questions, however, with The Last Jedi (and with the … [Read more...]
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” Is An Inclusive, Risky And Layered Story- And It’s Amazing
Nothing can prepare you for what STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI delivers. Absolutely nothing- and that's exactly what makes so damn near perfect. Star Wars fans can relax, what director Rian Johnson gives life to in this installation of the Skywalker Saga is fresh and new, but remains true to what made Star Wars the franchise juggernaut that it is: a hero's journey through a galaxy far far away. … [Read more...]
Best Gifts For Tweens #JCPChallenge
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with JCPenney. All thoughts are my own. Oh my God! Christmas is almost here! As a mom, Christmas is one of those holidays that I absolutely love, and dread. It’s one of those times where we reach our mom peaks. The family visits, the cooking, the cleaning...and the shopping. ESPECIALLY the shopping! Aside from my poor wallet hating me, every year … [Read more...]
The Harmony of Story and Music in “Coco”
Earlier this year, I bought a record player for the distinct purpose of buying an old record that my mom used to play every weekend. "Canciones de mi Padre" by Linda Ronstadt was what I would awaken to on Saturday morning, with the scent of chicharon and camote frito in the air, as my mom would dance her way into Saturday morning chores. Cooking, cleaning, laundry... it all had a soundtrack, and … [Read more...]
Getting To Know “9JKL”
This is a sponsored post for CBS 9JKL in partnership with Role Mommy. Right before the Thanksgiving break, I was invited to the set of the new CBS comedy, 9JKL. Funny enough, it also happens to be one neighborhood over, so you can say, essentially, I was visiting my neighbors. So, we're family right? Well, in "9JKL", Mark Feuerstein plays Josh Roberts, an out of work actor who moves back … [Read more...]
REVIEW: “Coco” Isn’t Just a Movie- It’s A Love Letter
To Latinos, and Mexicans in particular, "Coco" isn’t ‘just’ a movie- it’s personal. Imagine, if you can, having been told your entire life that people of your race are lazy, are criminals, thugs, and that we need to go back to where we came from. Or, having someone exclaim upon meeting you, that ‘you speak English so well’ or being told by editors and professors that in order to write your … [Read more...]
