Back in September, my buddy Raquel and I had the privilege of being "paparazzi" to the girls of Victoria's Secret at the Soho store in New York. It was for the launch of their newest fragrance, Bombshell. Adriana Lima and Lily Aldridge was there to help launch Bombshell fragrance with fellow Victoria’s Secret models Erin Heatherton and Candice Swanepoel. The Soho store is wonderful. It's spacious and it's in a sassy neighborhood. During the launch, it was chaotic. People and cameras were … [Read more...]
OxiClean Prize Pack Giveaway
November 5, 2010 by 72 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, my buddy Raquel covered the OxiClean event in New York City. There she met Anthony Sullivan and saw demonstrations on how well OxiClean removes dirt and stains right before her eyes. From what she said, she had a blast. By the photo she provided, I know she did. You can read all about her story by clicking anywhere in this sentence. ;) Unlike Raquel, I've used OxiClean for several years now and I love how it removes all types of stains. It removes those … [Read more...]

Kushyfoot: A Girl’s Best Friend | Review
November 2, 2010 by 2 Comments
Wearing heels is something I usually don't do. I like comfort so I opt for sneakers, flats or low heels boots. However, I do own a pair of pointy toe boots that hurt after a couple hours of wearing them. The heel is not that high, only about 2-1/2 inches but since I have a very low arch, they tend to hurt. My feet will agree that comfort is a girl's best friend, not diamonds. ;) I was recently contacted to review a few of the Kushyfoot products. Kushyfoot is no stranger to me. I've been a … [Read more...]

October 31, 2010 by 2 Comments
There’s a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ;)) for the week. I wanted to show my readers that there are plenty of great writers/bloggers out in the blogosphere and giving props to fellow bloggers is a great way to give back to the blogging community. Since I started blogging in 2006 (2008 publicly), I’ve met so many good, sincere and accomplished bloggers like Niri and Kim who both have taught … [Read more...]
