Beauty with a Latina Edge

As I’m sure you’ve OBVS noticed, there’s been a lack of posts on this site lately. I took the summer off from blogging to work on my tan and my beer belly, and to figure out my blogging life. It took a lot of cocktails and there was even an iPhone fatality involved (I dropped it in the pool while texting, oops), but I’m back and I’ve got news!

Going forward, this site will become more of a lifestyle website, focusing more on shoes and booze and events, and even beauty from a personal perspective, but generally, most things beauty will be showcased on my new site, Beauty Piñata.

Beauty Piñata: Beauty with a Latina Edge, will focus on beauty for and from a Latina perspective. It’s still in its baby stages, as I’ve been on vacation, but it’s finally coming together nicely and I hope you’ll share this new adventure with me! Continue reading

I own at least 60 pairs of flip-flops. I’m not exaggerating – you know my love for shoes runs deep, and flippie-floppies are no exception. That being said, I have pairs scattered everywhere: in my purses, cars, bedroom, backyard, wherever and whenever. Comfort and variety is key; I need a color to match every outfit/purse/accessory I own, and I need them to feel like clouds, especially after an 8+ hour stretch in heels.

While Havaianas aren’t THE MOST comfortable brand I’ve ever tried, they’re up there. I’d give them 4/5 stars, because after walking around downtown LA all day they started wearin’ and tearin’ on the inside of my toesies. Continue reading
