5 Planners to Keep 2017 Totally Organized

January 9, 2017January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez4 Comments

If you’re anything like me, your planner makes or breaks your productivity. Having a yearly and monthly calendar, to-do list, and planning space at your fingertips helps you to feel in control over life’s chaos. Think of a planner as a centralized area for all of your organizational needs. I am OBSESSED with planners and I think you should be too! The planners I love the most are the ones that offer more than a calendar. My goal with this post is to equip you with space to dream, outline goals, and plan this next year with purpose so you can achieve success!

“Somos Pobres” – Financial Tips From My Parents

September 26, 2016January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez2 Comments

I am beyond grateful that I had my parents to teach me the true value of hard work and how to save money from so early on in my life. Life after college wouldn’t have been as easy if I didn’t have them there reminding me and nagging me about finances and making wise financial decisions.

It’s easy to post motivational pictures on Instagram. It’s easy to be THAT GIRL behind a computer screen. I strive to make my family, friends, and other women feel empowered. I know how hard it is to be self conscious and, sometimes, getting a little push from someone can make all the difference.

The Nueva Latina’s 10 Steps to Starting Your Blog

August 20, 2015January 17, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez25 Comments

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.

Blogging has become the best hobby I have and I love to put my thoughts to “paper” while sharing my life experiences with others.

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!

Hello Texas!!! A Recap of our Trip to Colombia and Upcoming Giveaway!

August 7, 2015October 22, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez14 Comments

The food was AMAZING! And super cheap. The conversion while we were there was $1 US = $2,800 Colombian Pesos (Or $2.80). We ate like royalty the whole time were there. Not only was the food cheap, but they also serve HUGE portions. I have found this to be true in Mexico as well, that the level of service is SO MUCH BETTER than it is here. People in Colombia are continually trying to see how you are and really trying to accommodate to you. Every place we ate at, we were treated like VIPs and that is something that I feel is lost sometimes in the United States.

Nos Vamos a Colombia! Meeting the Love of My Life and Getting Ready for Our First Big Trip

July 22, 2015October 22, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez18 Comments

I never understood that Colombians were “different” than us. We are Mexican, but my parents still exposed me to other Latin cultures and customs. In a way, I was always destined to meet a Colombian and fall in love with him, right? *winks*
Now, I am 3 days away from boarding a flight to Colombia. I am so excited and can’t wait to see what awaits us there! Julian has been there multiple times in his life (obviously), but this will be my first time visiting another country other than the US or Mexico.

As a Latina and a millennial, I realized how much POWER I have. Like my father, I am a Civil Engineer. I am active on social media. I also serve and hold officer positions on various volunteer boards, like both my parents. I have a blog where I can reach a broader audience on issues I find important. I have POWER to bring change through my work as an engineer and through my writing. When you go and make statements like the one you made about immigrants, it give me…us…the POWER to use it to bring consciousness on an issue that really needs to be resolved.
