Can you believe it? I hate to say it but summertime is on its last legs and Fall will be upon us before we know it. That is exactly why I’m taking full advantage of the end of Summer with Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails but first let me tell you a funny story. When I was approached to review the Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails, I was skeptical (as usual) at first. You see, I’m not a wine drinker. I like those “girly” drinks like Cosmopolitans, Piña Coladas and even a beer here and there! If … [Read more...]

Back To School with New Balance Footwear
August 11, 2012 by 7 Comments
Not too long ago, I was invited to a preview event to check out the latest footwear from New Balance. It was held in one of their showrooms in New York City and on a day I could not make it. So the wonderful PR company who represents New Balance, sent two pairs of the Minumus 20 Trail New Balance shoes for my girls to review. We are no strangers to the New Balance brand. I’ve bought New Balance footwear many times before. I love the brand because they are always stylish (just look how … [Read more...]

July 29, 2012 by 5 Comments
The past year has been a busy but great one, especially with being a part of the Keurig crew, aka K-Cup® Ambassador. I'm now entering the second year as a K-Cup Ambassador to taste-test new K-Cup® packs, share discount codes and giveaways for my lovely readers and to share my experiences with a variety of K-cup® packs. Recently, I was sent a couple of packages with some samples of the new Brew Over Ice K-Cups®. It couldn't come at a better time since New York has been slammed with 90 degree … [Read more...]
I Made a Delicious Tropical Smoothie with Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice #Tropimommas
July 15, 2012 by 20 Comments
Did you know that Tropicana is the single largest buyer of Florida fruit, purchasing approximately 11.6 billion oranges from Florida each year? That’s a lot of fruit if you ask me! I’m proud to be a part of the Tropicana crew (I’m a TropiMomma!) this year to bring you the latest information about Tropicana’s products and let you in on some great deals too. When I was a little girl, I remember my mother buying Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice every week. When I would get sick, she’d give … [Read more...]
Celebrating 101 Days of Summer Play with Banana Boat Natural Reflect Sunscreen.
June 24, 2012 by 2 Comments
Now that I'm a full-time working mom, I don't attend too many brand/blog events. It's either in the morning or in the afternoon when I have to be at work so I usually send one of my writers to represent New York Chica. Yesterday's blog event was different. It fell right on a SATURDAY! I was ecstatic when I received an invite to attend the 101 Days of Summer Play Event by Banana Boat®, held in the wonderful home of Amy aka SelfishMom. To be honest, I was quite honored. Lately I've been … [Read more...]
Product Review: NEW Apple Cinnamon Chex
June 22, 2012 by 5 Comments
Waking up to the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven is like heaven to me. The two scents combined makes me feel all warm inside and reminds me of the Fall, one of my favorite seasons. The flavors of both apples and cinnamon is the best as well. I love apple pie so this cereal was right up my alley. Let's give a warm welcome to Chex's newest addition to its family of flavorful, gluten-free cereals -- NEW Apple Cinnamon Chex. I'm telling you, it's like a bowl of goodness. At … [Read more...]

Book Review: ‘We Made You Out Of Love’
April 20, 2012 by 2 Comments
Do you have little ones asking that common dreaded question, 'Where did I come from?' I have three kids and each of them have asked that over and over again. Recently I was sent 'We Made You Out Of Love' to review and although I don't usually review books here, I decided to post about the book being that my seven-year-old REALLY enjoyed it. 'We made You Out Of Love' was written by authors, Michael Marconi and board certified pediatrician, Dr Greg Marconi, who both wanted to help parents … [Read more...]
iPhone 4s: Unexpected Laughs with Siri (*For Mature Audiences ONLY*)
April 13, 2012 by 9 Comments
I recently got into the "Smartphone Craze" and bought myself an iPhone 4s. I know, I know, it's about time! You should've have seen my dinosaur phone before. It was a Samsung basic phone with a slide querty keyboard -- in other words, a crap phone! The iPhone has been a phone I've been longing to own for quite some time and I can't believe I'm finally an iPhone owner. And now that I have it, I can't let it go. I'm constantly trying out new apps, texting, and checking out my new addiction, … [Read more...]
We’ve Succeeded in the Listerine Challenge! #HealthyHabits
March 16, 2012 by 3 Comments
We did it! Listerine and The Motherhood challenged us in taking the Listerine challenge for 3 weeks and we've succeeded. It wasn't difficult to keep up (thank goodness!) with the 3-week challenge since I am very diligent about keeping our mouths clean but with this challenge, brushing was now fun -- according to my 7 year old. :) Just in case you missed reading my first initial post, click anywhere in this sentence to do so. My two older children didn't want to "participate" in the … [Read more...]
