February 26, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Verizon FiOS (#SomosFiOS). All thoughts and opinions expressed here are 100% my own. Growing up in a bilingual home meant I was able to communicate in both Spanish and English -- in my own special way.

Gluten is a wonderful thing. It keeps breads soft and helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together. I was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2006 -- a year after I had my daughter. Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones … [Read more...]

Disclosure: This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with LUBRIDERM® and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions are honest and 100% my own. During the long, cold winter months, my whole family suffers from extreme dry skin to the point where if we don't moisturize well enough, our skin itches like crazy!
