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.

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.

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.

I was on the plane getting ready to take off to Last Vegas this past November. One of my very best friends, Wendy, was sitting next to me. She was listening to something on her phone and seemed super into it. I assumed it was a song that she...

Last year, my boyfriend and I decided to start having an annual posada at our place. This year it will be the last posada we have in an apartment before we move into a house. I want to make it an extra special holiday party because of this, so I decided to make mole for my first time for the party. But, of course, I wanted to test it out first before then. I am so excited because it actually came out AMAZING!! And it is a super simple recipe that anyone could follow and make using a slow cooker.

I'm baaaaaaaack!!! Vegas was super fun and AMAZING! I love Vegas in general, so I really enjoyed myself. Not going to lie, taking a girls trip was TOUGH. There are just so many different personalities and different wants that it is hard to come to a decision that everyone is...

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.

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.

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.

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.
