Camila's Second Birthday

This post is sponsored by Chuck E. Cheese's, however, all opinions are 100% my own true opinions!

I really didn't know how I was going to manage to pull of a whole party like I did last year for Camila, because I honestly have not been feeling good. My family's philosophy on parties are pretty much go big or go home, but it's always so stressful and I didn't think I could take the added stress this year. I racked my brain on a few alternatives but it was hard because everything is made for older kids and not really toddlers. Finally the light bulb went off and we decided that Chuck E. Cheese's would be the perfect way to throw a great party with minimal stress!

Glammed Up For The Tecla Awards with JCPenney

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with JCPenney and DiMe Media. However, all opinions
expressed are my own.

I am just coming off of a Hispanicize high, one filled with inspiration & empowerment. I never expected this experience to be so one of a kind but it exceeded my expectations and so much more. JCPenney invited a few beautiful ladies to get styled for the Tecla Awards that happened at the end of the conference. I was beyond excited when I got the email because I had really no idea what to wear or what to expect since this was my first year attending the conference, and I honestly didn't want to spend a fortune on a nice dress but I knew that JCPenney's prices that are aligned with my budget so I was happy to have them style me for the Tecla Awards!

Why It's Important To Have The Money Talk With Your Family

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chase and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. The opinions and text are all mine.

Most of my life I've only had my mom, her life as a single mother was hard and she worked 2 jobs and long hours to make sure we had everything we needed and then some. As a kid I can say that I didn't have a good grasp on the concept of money, and my mom never sat down and talked to us about it. As I got older I began to see things differently and would see how much we really struggled, and how hard my mom worked to make sure we didn't see her struggling. I appreciated it, but now my concept, and money management skills are the worst. I heavily rely on my mom for advice in all aspect of my life, like most Hispanics, but starting the dialogue and asking for help was the hardest part.

Touring Texas in the 2017 Toyota Avalon Touring
