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...]

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting New York Chica Easter is a couple of days away and I've been scrambling to figure out what our Easter meal will be.

I was thinking some deviled eggs for an appetizer, roast pork (pernil), arroz con gandules (rice and pigeon peas) and potato … [Read more...]

March 30, 2015 by Leave a Comment
As a loyal Verizon FiOS customer, I get to reap many rewards. One of the benefits I truly enjoy is the My Rewards+ Program. It's a fun, free loyalty program for those who have FiOS, High-Speed Internet or FiOS TV through Verizon.

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Netflix as a part of my participation on the Netflix Stream Team. All opinions are always my own. Growing up, I was a very shy little girl.

I totally get that it can be quite difficult to come out of your shell when you're around people you don't know well because I'm exactly that way. As an adult now, I'm … [Read more...]
