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

November 13, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez12 Comments

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.

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.

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.

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.

48 Years Ago: The first TRUE Music Festival – Monterey Pop 1967

June 17, 2015January 17, 2018Anali Martinez GonzalezLeave a Comment

I watched the Monterey Pop documentary again last night and I fell in love all over again. People weren’t on their phone the whole time and no one was pushing or fighting to try and get closer to the stage. The people in that documentary were just happy to be listening to the music live. I hope my generation can gain back that genuine love for music. Music can bring so much change and I think we have forgotten that.

Towards the end of the lab, we all got up to go to the basement of the building to put some samples in the oven overnight. He was in front of me in line for the oven. That’s when I saw him, like really looked at him. it was the first time in my whole life I blushed from checking a guy out.

An Ode to my Little Sister

August 29, 2014January 17, 2018Anali Martinez GonzalezLeave a Comment

Now, she is 16 going on 17. She began her Junior year on Monday. Over the years we have grown closer and I can say she is both a sister and a best friend. She tells me all her gossip with friends and boys. I tell her things about my life that I know no one else would understand. She is my shining light and everything I do in my life I do with consideration to her and my younger brother. I am so proud of who she HAS become and am excited for all the things she CAN become.
