This blog is where I share my adventures of my lifestyle that literally takes me from the desk of a multi billion dollar business to the dinner table of a rambunctious family of four. I am passionate about: love, beauty, fashion, motherhood, business, marriage, travel and so much more. We will laugh, cry, and pucker on lip gloss together. Let's Get IT!
Get You Some Color
2014 IS THE YEAR & I OWN IT!!
They said I was crazy (not to my face); but I kept on dreaming- taking big steps toward my future goals which you might not understand today- but you will in due time. My faith has kept me inspired and determined for more. They say I am never satisfied with what I have- but they dont know what is rightfully mine. That is ok because I will be the beacon of light in a world of haters, naysayers, and the unbelieving. I will inspire you, motivate you, and bless you! For now take note of my beauty secrets- put a little color on you, because you are looking a little pale with disbelief. Guess what at 43% off you really cant hate on that! Besos mi amor!

It's Time to Lead on Leave
Women!!! Demand your leave as part of your compensation- if a company doesn't
see value in maternity leave, it doesn't see the value in you. There are
lots of companies that offer paid maternity leave and those are the ones that
understand that the cost of maternity leave is a small investment in
having women in the workforce because women bring immeasurable benefits to a company.

Will You Jump
Life presents opportunities and hurdles; its how we react when we encounter these lovely life speed bumps-this is what defines us. At what point do you say- I only live once and go for it? At what point do you embrace the change and run towards it with hands wide open and eyes closed shut? It takes courage and faith to know that nothing changes when nothing changes. Life is too short to live in fear of taking an opportunity or challenge head on. You know what I say- check yourself in the mirror, reapply that lip gloss, smooth your hair and GO FOR IT!!!
How Did You Know
Now in 2014 I have been doing some major reflection on what I have accomplished being thoughtful of my missteps, and always ready for what God places on my shoulders. Today I reminisced on what were my happiest moments and it was knowing when.
You know that moment when...
When everything seems to align perfectly.
On Your Mark Get set_ You still here?

My Lovebug is here- she has been for about four months now- Ellabelle Jeanne. She is one of the those off the charts baby- literally, the Dr says so every month. She is quite the blessing and I am forever thankful! So I am a NYC hot mom learning how to juggle life as a wife, mom, and working fashionista. It is difficult- which is an understatement with constant interrupted sleep (but we are working on getting baby girl's sleep more in line with Mamma) dealing with shoe buyers and vendors, crunching numbers predicting trends and trying to lose the last 3 pounds of my baby weight. I cant believe that I gained almost 60 pounds during my first pregnancy; but totally psyched that it is almost all gone. Breastfeeding does wonders for baby and Mom. Tomorrow I start my gym membership at Crunch, now that I have lost pretty much all of my baby weight I wont to lose another 18-20 pounds to get me to my wedding weight. My 3yr anniversary is coming around the corner and it is crazy as I reflect on how much my life has changed in a few short years. I am working for one of my dream companies, toting the cutest baby on my hip, with the man I fell in love with 4yrs ago. Life aint easy but it is definitely eventful and exciting!
34 Weeks of being a Preggo Newly Wed
Tonight I sit back and reflect on all the changes happening my life, nearing a new peak in my career, achieving almost all the goals I wanted to achieve ( as of yet)
Nearing the end of my first pregnancy with my Hubby, once darling love gets here we will be celebrating: my 27th birthday, Hubby's 27th bday and then a 3 year wedding anniversary; 2011 is a year of blessings.
