My Top Favorites From Getting Gorgeous with Restylane Silk 2015
It's not very often that I attend blog events being that I'm a full-time working mom and I work 2 hours away from the city. Most events are held during the day which means I can't always attend unless I leave my job early, take a personal day or (gasp!) call out sick! I don't have many personal days nor sick days so I like to save them for those days when someone in my family is really sick. But then there are events such as Getting Gorgeous that I wouldn't miss out on even if it meant … [Read more...]
New Exhibit at AMNH ~ Opening April 4, 2015 ~ #LifeattheLimits: Stories of Amazing Species
My daughters and I were invited to a media preview to check out AMNH's (The American Museum of Natural History in New York City) newest exhibit, Life at the Limits: Stories of Amazing Species. And amazing they are! Let me ask you a few questions. What if you could hold your breath for up to two hours? Or even gulp down a snack 10 times your own weight? Or how about living in crushing depths where there is no sunlight to support any kid of life? Do you think you would survive? Yeah … [Read more...]

Johnson’s #NoMoreTangles NYC Event #LatinaBloggers
Hey everyone! Did you know that Johnson's Baby Brand have been providing comfort and care for babies through their products for over 100 years? Yes, folks 100 years!

Grana Padano and Lidia Bastianich Teach Healthy Eating with Kids at Eataly
This month my daughter and I had the opportunity to cook some delicious and healthy recipes with Lidia Bastianich and Grana Padano in La Scoula Grande right inside Eataly in New York City. I've been a fan of Lidia's Italy since I was a teenager. My mother-in-law is also a huge fan. My mother-in-law always says, "All Lidia has to do on that show is throw some onion and garlic into a pan and I start to drool!" I enjoy Lidia's recipes because her approach is fresh, rustic, and simple. We … [Read more...]
