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...]

Truvia | Review
December 17, 2009 by 4 Comments
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...]
Wondering What To Do On New Year’s Eve in NYC & The Tri-State Area?
December 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
I never have to wonder what I'll do for New Year's Eve because I am a homebody. I like to stay home where it's nice and warm and I can wear my pajamas all day long until I see the daylight the next day on New Year's Day. If there is ever a party at one of my friend's house or one of my family member's house, then maybe I'll reconsider but til' then, I'll stay home watching the ball drop with a glass of champagne and my honey next to me like I do every year. I think those are the moments that … [Read more...]

EXTENDED GIVEAWAY DATE!!!!!!! Since I'm a mom of three young children, I often wonder what my kids could encounter when they're on the internet.

It's geared towards children ages 2-8 so this makes it perfect for my 4 year … [Read more...]

December 13, 2009 by 2 Comments
Since I had three different posts for this giveaway (caused by a nasty comment glitch), I had to use my math skills to add a few numbers to get to #369 (such a HUGE pain in the butt!). Here is the "problem": The first "official" post had 356 comments & since the post had a "comment glitch" (no other comments could be recorded for some strange reason), I had to re-post the giveaway on a brand new post. … [Read more...]
Disney’s Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure
December 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
When the Disney Channel first aired Handy Manny, my kids and I were curious to see what it was all about. I don't often speak Spanish around them which I know isn't good for them but I grew up in a household where English was the number one language. I guess I got used to it. Handy Manny is a bi-lingual show about a Hispanic handyman and his animated, talking tools. The show teaches young children the beginnings of Spanish and the importance of cultural diversity. Learning Spanish while … [Read more...]
Santa Buddies: The Legend Of Santa Paws & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Choo-Choo Express | Review
December 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Every year during the holidays, I like to play Christmas music and watch holiday themed-movies to get into the spirit. I want to spread the tradition to my children so they are the same way, especially my four year old. During the past two weeks, she’s seen the same two movies almost daily. I think I know every line and so does she. The first one is Santa Buddies. Both of my daughters really enjoyed this one because they love dogs and of course, Christmas. It’s about a dog named Puppy … [Read more...]
