Viva Las Vegas with The Nueva Latina: Part 2

November 19, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez6 Comments

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.

Remembering Abuelita with Santos Sabores

October 28, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez16 Comments

The taste of a frozen lemon pospsicle brings back memories of spending the night with all my cousins at my grandma’s house. My grandma had a thing for bolis and paletas. For some reason she was always fully stocked when we arrived. She didn’t offer actual food to us when we walked through her door. Instead she offered us sweet frozen goodness. That is one of the biggest memories my whole family has of her.

Cancun 2015: Relaxing in Paradise

October 7, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez21 Comments

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. It was AMAZING, to say the least. We enjoyed amazing food and beverages all day, everyday we where there. The beach was beautiful despite all the seaweed that has accumulated over the past year there. The sand was still clean and white. The weather was a little cloudy and stormy when we arrived, but it cleared up by the second day we were there.

In July, my mom booked our trip to Cancun! She used the Southwest Vacations to book our flight and hotel together. Traveling to Mexico right now is pretty cheap and we snagged an amazing deal of $838.23 per person for flight and an all-inclusive hotel.

1st Generation American: My Story

September 24, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez32 Comments

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

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!

Monday Sushi Night: Kona Grill at The Domain in Austin, TX

Kona Grill never disappoints! For a sushi chain restaurant it is great every time! I love the wait staff who are always nice and eager to serve. Our waiter was Alex and he was AMAZING. The environment is always hip and lively.

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.
