Sassy Mama in LA

A Latina Perspective on Entertainment, Lifestyle and Life.

Have a Very Merry Grinchmas with Navidades en Universal #UniversalOrlando {Giveaway}

12/13/2012 by Yolanda Machado

I remember being 16 yrs old and my mom telling me she would be traveling for a week and taking my little brother. As any teenager would, I was ecstatic. Then, she told me she was heading to Universal Orlando Resort and I was mad. I still haven't completely forgiven her all these years later, but since then, I have been aching to go! Now that I have my own child, I am hoping to take her within the … [Read more...]

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

12/04/2012 by Yolanda Machado

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...]

Pampering Yourself and Your Pup at the Luxurious Langham Huntington Pasadena

09/15/2012 by Yolanda Machado

I remember earlier this year one of my friends asked me something that I thought was a bit odd at the time. She said, "Can you recommend a pet friendly hotel that also pampers and grooms them?" I think I giggled. However, I then remembered my mom who has eight, yes, EIGHT dogs. Each she treats like one of her own children (sometimes better!) and she travels with one or more each time she heads … [Read more...]

The Kia Rio Takes Us On a Smooth, Summer Journey

06/18/2012 by Yolanda Machado

When I think back to what summer meant to me as a kid, I remember it being hot and I remember being stuck in the backseat of my family's old Oldsmobile that was as old as I was for many...many trips. Now that I have a family of my own, I also take my family on mini getaways by car too. It's important to me on these daycation drives that I can get around with minimum gas useage and comfort for us … [Read more...]

Is Bigger Better…Cars, I mean- Kia Serento Review

05/22/2012 by Yolanda Machado

I remember being in High School and daydreaming about my first car. I always wanted an SUV or something bigger. Maybe it's a bit of a complex since I am about 5'2, but nonetheless SUVs were THE car I always wanted. My first car was a little clunker and since then, I have always had small, economy vehicles. I still always wondered if I missed the boat with SUVs, especially now that I have a family … [Read more...]

How to Battle LA Traffic in Style- Kia Optima Hybrid #KiaClassic

04/18/2012 by Yolanda Machado

There are a few things that are a given when you live in Los Angeles. Mexican food and Sushi in every corner, people wearing sunglasses all year long, perfect weather and panic at the first site of rain...and TRAFFIC. No matter where you live here or what time you decide to leave your home, you can bet there will be traffic every step of the way to wherever you are heading. Such was the case … [Read more...]

Getting Sporty with the #KiaClassic LPGA Tournament

04/10/2012 by Yolanda Machado

Golf was never my sport. I actually never considered it a sport I could get into. I watched some in High School when I would spend time at my friend Cori's house. Her dad was a golf FANATIC. I mean this man could watch golf from dusk to dawn (and sometimes he did), while yelling at the TV the way most guys yell about football, and still not get enough. If anyone of us kids that Cori had over were … [Read more...]

Have a Staycation at the famous Hollywood Magic Castle Hotel

03/14/2012 by Yolanda Machado

The busy life of an Angeleno is full of stress. There is work, family, work, life, work, kids, work... did mention work? We may have gorgeous weather but rarely to we take the time to enjoy it by ourselves, let alone with our families. That's why it is so important to just take off for a day or two, grab the family and just have a Staycation! A Staycation is when you basically take a few days … [Read more...]
