Our son Nicolas is growing up so quickly! I can’t believe he recently turned six and instead of rocking him in my arms, we were planned a road trip to treat him to some cool experiences. The beauty of living in the Greater Houston area and in a state like Texas is all the amazing attractions just a road trip away. We had many exciting stops but the first stop we’ll highlight is The Crayola Experience in Plano, Texas. This interactive attraction is an immersive and creative colorful journey that is fun for the whole family. Trust me, my husband and I were coloring our own augmented reality draw ..read more

*This was part of a sponsored blog post in partnership with Reliant. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Photos by: Banavenue Photography This year it’s going to be nine years since I moved from Honduras to Houston, Texas. Wow! Almost a decade not living in my hometown, but the truth is, Houston is my hometown now. Houston has really grown on me, from the people to the food, I can’t imagine living anywhere else now. I feel so embraced by this city so I’ve embraced it back with my recent love for barbecue, country music and boots.My life changed drastically for the good when I moved here. Eve ..read more

We recently took a trip to Roatán, Honduras and it was even dreamier than our last Roatán trip in 2016. In case you’re new around here, I was born and raised in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Roatán is part of the Bay Islands, Honduras in the Caribbean Sea and it’s where you go to a nice vacation. Even though it’s not the city where I grew up, it’s where my dear college friends live so when I visit, it feels like home. I also love to get the perspective from two locals on where to visit, eat and play while visiting the island. This time around, the trip was extra special because we got to show Ni ..read more

The sun: I love it but little did I know growing up that is was so damaging to my skin and can also cause skin cancer. The sun gets me in a great mood and gives me a sun-kissed glow but it can also make me age prematurely—no, thank you. Yikes! I’ve been on a mission to try out the best sunscreens for my oily-combination skin that don’t make me breakout and protect my skin. I’ve also tried out so many formulas that are seamless under make-up and are great for every type of event in my life: a workout outside, the pool or everyday protection. These below are my favorite true and tried formulas ..read more
