Last Wordless Wednesday Of 2009

Is this our future? LOL Just kidding. After I parked our car at our local mall, we looked back and that is what we saw. My daughter thought the dog was cute so she wanted me take a picture. Doesn't he look like he's driving? :) Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Time To Get Busy!

It's almost the New Year and with that I decided to make lots of  changes, on my blog and in real life.  I'm looking into changing the theme/look of the site so it's "clean looking and much more organized".  I'm also looking into a part-time job (or full-time, whichever comes first) so I won't be social networking too much but with my iPod touch, I know I'll be in touch with my favorite people, bloggers & of course, Tweeters.  And, I'm going to start living my life as a new person. You … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – 2 More Days Til’ Christmas

I found this picture just a few days ago. I really don't remember taking this picture but I'm so happy I found it. I must've been 12 or 13 years old so it was probably in 1989. I wish I could remember taking this photo but I can't. At least I have the photo to prove it! From our family to yours, hope you have a fantastic holiday! … [Read more...]

How to make Flan | The Easiest recipe EVER!

Allow me to be honest here. I used to HATE Flan with a passion.  It was either too eggy (yuk, I hate that texture) or too "wet & slimy" - yes that is possible. I avoided Flan like the plague...seriously. UNTIL, an old co-worker of mine taught me how to make Flan - nice, rich and creamy. It is so easy.  Here's what you need: Blender Cake pan or a pan large enough to hold the flan A large pan to hold water - Baño de María or Bain marie 1-Can of Condensed Milk 1-Can of … [Read more...]

Caress Evenly Gorgeous Bodywash & Beauty Bar | Review & Giveaway

In the Winter, the weather can wreck havoc on your skin. The dry air in your home and the cold air outside really dries out the skin. That is why we need to use extra moisturizers to keep our skin soft and supple. It also helps if we use the right cleanser for our skin. For me, the right cleanser means a soap that smells great, leaves my skin soft and of course, one that cleans well too.  If a cleanser has exfoliators in the product, it's an added bonus because it sloughs away the nasty … [Read more...]

There’s Still Time At Amazon.com

It happens to a lot of us.  We procrastinate.  We wait until the last minute to buy gifts and then what happens? The hottest toys and gifts are out of stock until next year. So what do you do? You send some gift cards, of course! It's cool because the recipient can choose his or her own gift when that special item goes back in stock. It's a win-win for everyone.  You win because you didn't hand them just (even though cash is good in my eyes, lol) cash and they win because they can … [Read more...]

Truvia | Review

I received a box of Truvia from our friends over at iVillage.com a few months ago.  The reason why they sent it to me was because I was a community leader at one of their message boards a few months ago called Latina Beauty.  It was a great board but members were becoming really busy with their families and their life and it became a "ghost town", so I resigned.   Most of the members I know there are still in contact with me because we stayed friends so it wasn't a complete lost. Ok, back to … [Read more...]
