WEEKEND GET AWAY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK

Weekend getaways are my absolute favorite!
I suffer from wanderlust, so there are times where I will just have this urge to get up and leave somewhere.
Now my brokenness doesn’t allow me to do it as much as I would like, but I do try to do it as often as I can.

Every so often, we all need to get away without a plan. Vacations are fantastic, but honestly, they are stressful to plan, it can take months to plan and save.

Our financial situation doesn’t allow us just to get up and leave and getaway all the time. Yet even going to a small town near your area gives you renewed energy.
I am a true believer that it’s good for our minds to be in a different environment.

MAKEUP LOOK FOR ANY THANKSGIVING GET TOGETHER

We are officially so close to the end of the year.

How did this happen?

We are only a few days away from Thanksgiving, which means we get to celebrate togetherness with our loved ones.
Also, this holiday calls for a good makeup look to create to sit at the sala (the living room) ????

I grew up in Mexico, so honestly, we don’t celebrate the day so much as people that are born in the US.

Of course, I have to establish some of the US cultures into my daughter’s life and celebrate Thanksgiving, so we celebrate small.

I must also confess I don’t like Turkey!

#THNXBIRTHCONTROL

About two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a brunch event with Planned Parenthood and We All Grow Latina Network.

We had brunch while we were being educated about what, and how planned parenthood has and can help our Latino community.

When it comes to the sexual topics, and sexual health, the Hispanic community tends to go nuts about it.
Meaning, they do not want to discuss and almost make you feel like you’re committing the biggest sin, just by only talking or asking about it.

In better words, there is a massive taboo around this subject and Latinos.

One of the biggest taboo within the Latinas is birth control.

#WEALLGROWFAMILIA 2017 RECAP

Photo Credit: Robson Muzel

Tell me if Ana Flores and the We All Grow Latina Network don’t freaking ROCK??!!!

They always, always exceed all expectations!

Lately, I have been all about the feel of being in the right place at the right time.

This past month I was able to attend the second #WeAllGrowFamilia Event at Munchkin headquarters.

This year I had a special guest to go with me.

My daughter was able to attend the event with me since we had a last-minute baby sitter hiccup.

I was a little skeptical and afraid she was not going to enjoy the event or ask me to leave every hour.
Luckily, that was not the case; she enjoyed and kept on asking questions about people in there.

She was very curious as to what everyone was doing there and what they did.

STROLLING THROUGH EL MATADOR STATE BEACH

The ocean is a place where I feel I need to visit often to reset my soul.
There is just something about it that calms me and resets my thoughts, mind, and spirit.

Strolling along the coast of Malibu was one of my to-do things this year.

FEELING THE BLUES

Because for the past week, I’ve been feeling the blues.

Because for the past week, I’ve been feeling the blues.
I recently came across a look similar to the one I recreated on this post.
I have never mentioned this, but Linda Hallberg is my favorite make up guru! All of her looks are daring, amazing, clean, and everything that you can think with the word extraordinary.

Strolling through her website recently, I came across one of her daring looks, and it just totally spoke to me.

READING AFTERNOONS AT THE PARK WITH APPLE & EVE*

We have been into school mode for almost three months.
My daughter second grade teacher is focusing intensely in reading this year.

When it comes to reading, our kids tend to dread reading time often or at least mine.
I find that when I say “Jailah it’s time to read” she tries almost everything to not do it.

Of course as a mom we MUST always find ways to implement things our kids don’t like and make them like it right??!!!

While listening to my daughter read on one of her reading nights, I figured I could maybe do something outside of the ordinary and have reading afternoons at the park.

RE BRANDED

This year has been a roller coaster for me.

I have been stuck in a weird funk since March.
I am very analytic, way to analytic I would say and other people too.
After attending a big event this year, I started analyzing every single aspect of what I have been doing, and what I wanted to do.

I thought I had figured it out, but honestly I was still feeling stuck.
Until this day, there are days where I still feel stuck in that funk.
I hate feeling stuck because when I feel like that way, I know what I need to do to get out of it, but it’s like I’m limited and I can’t move forward.

Usually when I feel this way, I begin to over analyze and over think about every single thing.
My main focus than directs to everything I have not been able to complete or accomplish, rather than the things I have completed.
I started out my blog as an outlet to regain some “Me Time”

FALLING FOR COPPER

Welcome to fall.
Although in Texas we are still having summer-ish temperatures, we’ve had a couple of cold days.
People in Texas may say I’m exaggerating, but I just really don’t like cold weather.
I would rather deal with heat than cold.
Fall brings out all the copper-ish colors, which is the inspiration behind this make up look.

SMOCKED SET

Last month I was supposed to go out for vacation with my child, for some reason we were never able to come to an agreement on where we were going to go.

Than when we had a location, but something didn’t feel right.

 

I sort of always tend to be pretty good with intuitions, therefore when I decide to ignore red lights, I take it upon myself really hard.
This time I really went with my intuition and we cancelled plane tickets and all.

Fast forward to the day of our vacation, we decided to road trip and go somewhere “Local”
