SXSW 2016 – Latino Singer/Songwriter Artist Raymundo

This SXSW I had the amazing opportunity to interview an up and coming singer/songwriter at SXSW!!

I have had the opportunity to interview many up and coming artists during SXSW and other live music events, but I am very picky about who I interview. I really want to believe in the artist and their music.

Upon learning about Raymundo and listening to his music I knew I wanted to interview him. Raymundo is a Latin pop singer/songwriter from Cali. He has made headlines in Los Angeles by overcoming obstacles and being able to open for acts like Juanes, Enrique Iglesias, Nelly Furtado and more! He is an amazing singer and I know he is going to do AMAZING things!!

Foodie Friday: Hay Elotes!! – Austin, TX

This past summer I was really excited to take my sister to experience the amazingness that is Hay Elotes!! I ordered a Chamoyada and she ordered a Mangonada, a specialty drink made of blended mango and liquid chamoy.. We both ordered their signature corn in cup with lime and chile. I think it’s safe to say that we will be going together a lot once she moves to Austin starting in the fall.

Foodie Friday – Joe’s Bakery & Mexican Food

I am extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food. When I first heard of Joe’s from a friend, I am not gonna lie, I was thinking, “You are full of s***!” The thing is that ever since I came to Austin I hadn’t found a place that truly, really, sincerely reminded me of the food from back home. There are AMAZING places in and around town, but most of them have one or two things on the menu that I actually love.

Holy Mole! Celebrating Las Posadas!

Last year, my boyfriend and I decided to start having an annual posada at our place. This year it will be the last posada we have in an apartment before we move into a house. I want to make it an extra special holiday party because of this, so I decided to make mole for my first time for the party.

But, of course, I wanted to test it out first before then. I am so excited because it actually came out AMAZING!! And it is a super simple recipe that anyone could follow and make using a slow cooker.

Viva Las Vegas with The Nueva Latina: Part 2

I also don’t want to walk around looking like I just rolled out of bed. Any other weekend in Vegas, I probably wouldn’t care. But, with the Latin Grammy’s and the Cotto vs. Canelo fight, I don’t know who I might see or even meet! Gotta stay looking on point!!

These are some of the outfits I plan on wearing during my trip. Most I looked for on Pinterest. I have very little to no fashion sense, so I need to look at what others are wearing that I can easily mimic.

Viva Las Vegas with The Nueva Latina: Part 1

I am BEYOND excited! This will be my first girls’ trip without my mom. My mom and I are super close and it makes me a little sad that I will be going on a girls’ trip without her. I am excited to bond and to party with my girls though! 3 of the girls joining me are my sorority sisters and I also invited one of my friends from college. It will be interesting to see how both my worlds collide while we are on our vacation.
