Hello 2018! Word of The Year and January 2018 Goals

December 29, 2017January 16, 2018Anali Martinez GonzalezLeave a Comment

Setting goals is essential for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You’ll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.

I have also decided on my WORD OF THE YEAR!!! Every year, I pick a word that will be my guide for my life. This year, my word is JOY. I really want to focus more on doing things and taking opportunities that make ME happy. This past year was a little tough for me and looking back I realized that I wasn’t happy for most of it. I feel that if I look at every opportunity that is laid before me and ask myself “Will this bring me JOY?” and “Will I look back and be happy I did this?” And then if I stick to bringing JOY into my life everything else will fall into place.

“I Do Too” – How We Included Da Pup in Our Wedding

December 15, 2017January 16, 2018Anali Martinez GonzalezLeave a Comment

I was always one of those people that would judge other people who loved their pets like humans. The first day I met Chapo when I picked him up, I could have sworn I made the worst mistake of my life. He kept whining on the drive back to Austin because I had him in a little crate in the back. Halfway home, I pulled over to the side and took him out of the crate. I placed him on my lap and started driving again. He cuddled up and put his little head in this little “cave” spot in between my arm and the seat belt. My heart melted and I fell in love.

TNL Travels: Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo

September 28, 2017October 22, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez8 Comments

When the bride invited me to Playa del Carmen for her bachelorette, I was a little nervous. Girls’ Trips, in general, make me nervous after a bad experience I had. I was excited to go back to the Cancun area, though, since the last time I was there it was for my sister’s big 1-8. Although I won’t be hitting up Playa del Carmen for my bachelorette, it’s the PERFECT place for a bachelorette. There is SO MUCH to do! The weather is PERFECT! And the food is AMAZING!

Rashid Barrett will be your spirit guide as you try out all they have to offer. My family is REALLY into tequila and we have visited Tequila, Jalisco many a time. Rashid at Las Perlas Mezcaleria KNOWS his tequila and is the perfect person to guide you through the process. As he told me and my friend last week, “Every tequila is a mezcal, but not every mezcal is a tequila.” Rashid even helped me find a smooth and tasty tequila that I can honestly say that I LOVED.
