Dia De Los Muertos DIY: Papel Picado

Dia De Los Muertos DIY: Papel Picado

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Target. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Celebrating Dia de los Muertos was not a part of my life when I was a child. I grew up in a Peruvian household with my mom, and while we acknowledged it as a holiday, we didn’t do anything for it. Living in Los Angeles, I did get to see it every year at Placita Olvera (Olvera Street) and I was … [Read more...]

TCA Interview: Taraji P. Henson On Empire And Hidden Figures

09/21/2016 by Fred Topel

Empire returns for its third season tonight as the reigning champion number one show on broadcast television. With that kind of popularity, spoilers are kept as closely guarded secrets. One thing we do know is that Mariah Carey is guest starring this season and she has scenes with Cookie (Taraji P. Henson). Over the summer, Taraji P. Henson was on an Empire panel for the Television Critics … [Read more...]

Enchilarmos For The Gold Cup #SinTraducción

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target. All opinions are my own. Here's a little secret about my family and I. We love our snacks spicy. Yes, even my 7 yr old loves a kick in her snacking. So, when we were getting ready to celebrate the Gold Cup last week (Mexico vs Jamaica)- we splurged on our favorite spicy treats while shopping at Target.   Over the … [Read more...]

How We Celebrated Dia De Los Muertos at Target’s Skeleton Square

How We Celebrated Dia De Los Muertos at Target’s Skeleton Square

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are my own. My daughter has been asking me all of October if we were celebrating Dia de los Muertos, and I always replied "we'll see." We have had altars and eaten Pan de Muerto for the past few years at home, but she actually wanted to head somewhere to experience a little bit of the culture. Being that it was the day after Halloween, I didn't want … [Read more...]

Makin’ My Man Over- Starting at the Bottom (Literally!) #MaLoUnderwear #CBias

07/20/2012 by Yolanda Machado

I love my man... I really truly do. When we met, I never thought someone who looked like he did could ever like me. Well, as it turns out, he fell in love with me, and now here we are. But, he has a secret. He wears the worst underwear ever. I mean they "look" normal: But the truth is they are one size too small and he buys the same kind over and over, even though they rip super easy. Sigh. … [Read more...]

Jason Wu for Target- Plus Size options

02/05/2012 by Yolanda Machado

First Missoni, now Jason Wu. Target is offering up their bargain prices for High Fashion Designers- now everyone can own a label! However, I always get sad as a plus size, that they rarely, if ever offer anything beyond a sz. 10 or 12. We plus size ladies like designers too! While the selection is limited and only goes to a 16, the new Jason Wu line has a few plus size options. The best of … [Read more...]
