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.

Remembering Abuelita with Santos Sabores

Cancun 2015: Relaxing in Paradise

This past weekend, my mom, sister, and I headed to Cancun to celebrate my little sister’s 18th birthday. We stayed at the Krystal Grand Punta Cancun and had the all-inclusive package.

1st Generation American: My Story

I am Mexican American. I am tired of being criticized for loving the United States, but for also embracing my Mexican heritage and traditions. I am in-between two worlds. It’s something only a few can understand. Being 1st generation American you constantly feel like you don’t know who you are because you love two very different cultures at the same time. And if you ever love one more than the other, at any instance, you feel like you are cheating on the other.

The Nueva Latina’s 10 Steps to Starting Your Blog

I started blogging about 5 years ago, but I started to really get into it about 3 months ago. It has been a journey so far and I am excited to be a part of this AMAZING blogger community. A friend of mine is looking into starting a blog for her brother and she asked me to write her a list of steps to start a blog.

I figured there are many other inspiring bloggers out there that would really benefit from a “10 Steps to Blogging” list, so I decided to share my list with you all!
