Movie making has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Now, many individuals have the option to choose movie theaters that have surround sound and 3D effects and also purchase Blue Ray DVD's. All of these advanced technology for movie viewing is great, but sometimes I enjoy watching a movie the way I did growing up -- the classic way. One of my ultimate favorite classic movie is Dirty Dancing®. I've watched the movie Dirty Dancing® numerous times, and even bought the soundtrack … [Read more...]

A Visit to New York City For The #LowesChallenge Event
June 2, 2012 by 3 Comments
I was invited by Lowe's to attend their Designer Challenge a few weeks ago. Little did I know I would also meet my long time friend, Jai from Mami's Time Out. I was psyched. We have been online friends for about 7-8 years -- way before we started blogging. It all started in an iVillage.com message board called Latina Beauty. We learned a lot about each other and soon we decided to start our very own blogs. Meeting Jai in person was the highlight of my day. I'm sure there will be other … [Read more...]

We Remember – 10 Years Later – 9/11/11
September 11, 2011 by 3 Comments
The first time I wrote about 9/11 was in 2009. It was my second year of blogging. The last post happened the following year in 2010. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the tragedy that made America stronger, unfortunately. Do you remember where you were on that horrible day? Like many people, I remember it so well. It was my son's first day of school. My husband and I were first-time homeowners for a full four months. It was a new beginning for us. I never thought in a hundred … [Read more...]
I’m Teaming with the Tropicana OJ Express at Grand Central Terminal in NYC
August 23, 2011 by 1 Comment
I'm thrilled to be a part of the Tropicana Team as one of their TropiMomma Ambassadors. I've been a Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice consumer for as long as I can remember and it's a product I believe in and buy every week for my family. According to a Tropicana survey, one in four Americans start the day off in a bad mood. I hate to say that I am THAT one. It's the "waking up early" part that I dislike. I love mornings but I wish I wasn't exhausted as soon as I get up. It does change … [Read more...]

July 16, 2011 by 4 Comments
{Scroll down below for a slideshow} Recently I went to a cooking class at the French Culinary Institute where I was invited by FAGE (pronounced Fa-yeh) to cook alongside with other bloggers. Honestly, I never bought FAGE yogurt nor have I tasted it but I was intrigued on how to incorporate yogurt into everyday cooking so I obliged. Here's a little history: The Beginning: In 1926, Athanassios Filippou opened a small dairy shop in Athens, Greece. At the time, the shop’s location was … [Read more...]

Chris O’Donnell Joins the Lunchables Team at Times Square
May 21, 2011 by 13 Comments
Earlier this week I had an amazing opportunity that doesn’t happen too often for me. I was recently contacted by Lunchables to join them at Times Square along with other bloggers to help them reach their goal of donating up to one million pounds of fresh fruit to Feeding America AND get a chance of a lifetime to interview Chris O’Donnell (father of 5!) from the TV show NCIS: Los Angeles and movies like Batman and Robin, Scent of a woman and more. Now who’s crazy enough to say no to that? … [Read more...]
