Does This Ring Make Me Look ENGAGED?!?!

Julian proposed on the evening of 6/25/2016 with both our families present. He told me we were having a USA vs. Colombia game watch party. Minutes after arriving to his aunt’s house, a trio walked in playing our song “Amorcito Corazon” with my family in tow. I was super SURPRISED. And, I was also really happy that my family was able to make the trip up to be there with us. It was PERFECT.

Dia De Las Madres: Celebrating Mother’s Day Everyday

But, my mom is sooooo much more than that. She truly is my number one role model…the true definition of a #GirlBoss. She is from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She immigrated to the United States at the age of 13. She was able to overcome adversity and graduate college despite English being her second language. She went on to become the first woman and first Latina President/CEO of Border Federal Credit Union in Del Rio, TX. This past April, she was awarded the Cornerstone Credit Union League Professional of the Year Award. I took some days ff from work so I could make it to the awards ceremony. My mom has always been there for me, so I wanted to be there for her. I am sooooo fortunate to have my as a mentor, friend, and mom! She is such an inspiration to me. She inspires me and motivates me to be better and greater. Her and my dad came to the United States to give my siblings and I a better life. And I am sooooo proud of my mom and so proud to be her daughter.

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.
