Disney's 1st Latina princess Elena of Avalor
It is no wonder Latinos are the major minority; we have big spending power and our influence is growing. With that being said I'm glad Disney took notice and created its first Latina princess

 Elena of Avalor

love the red dress and big hoops
Elena will star in her own TV show airing on Disney Junior in 2016; but will be meet her on an upcoming episode of Sophia The First. 

What Disney has shared about Elena is that she is a confident and compassionate 16 year old , she has a little sister named Princess Isabel, her grandfather Tito, and her grandmother Cici. (where is her mother?) She also has a best friend named Mateo and while trying to save her family from Shuriki, Elena was pulled into her own magical amulet.  Princess Sofia is wearing the amulet now will restore Elena to her human form and helps her return to Avalor. Too cute!

I love the fact that she is also voiced by a Latina actress Aimee Carrero who is on ABC Family’s Young & Hungry. She is Dominican and raised in Miami. 

Looking forward to meeting Elena of Avalor soon!

Tina Knowles Day in Houston!

Tina Knowles Day in Houston!
Last year I was invited to attend a luncheon where Tina Knowles would be the Key Note Speaker at a woman & money empowerment summit and I accepted the invitation for a reason; Tina intrigued me.  I wanted to know what the mother of the most famous woman on the face of this universe had to say. I have been a fan of Beyonce since The Writings On the Wall, from when she was rocking her braids and making her debut into the music industry, and still think she is The Queen of all Queens. Aside from the obviously beautiful self that she is; I feel she speaks to the woman who grew up with her. I can honestly say that every time she released an album I was experiencing the same things she spoke about in her songs. I wasn't obviously living her lifestyle but I was almost the same age as her going through the same things we as women go through.  I think all woman can relate!! 

At the summit; I shared the video which I went on to publish to youtube and the video was shared by most all media outlets from @necolebitchiedaily @globalgrind to @Vogue) Thanks! 

That day, Tina shared a beautiful story which she gifted to the ladies of the audience. What I didn't share on the video was that Tina was also gifted the honor by the Mayor Pro Tem and the Mayor of Houston Annise Parker who proclaimed October 2, 2014 to be  #TinaKnowles Day in Houston!!

 I wish I had met Tina and thanked her for such a powerful message that I myself needed to hear.

Soon after Beyonce who was inspired by her moms words - used a piece of my video in which her mother gives a bold statement... you can hear me agree by saying "mmmm-hmm" in the video below and in the actual song which I think IS super cool!! Maybe I will meet both Queens one day :) for now just watch this video of her mother being honored by the City of Houston. 


I met Choncha The Chola and I love her!

I met Choncha The Chola and I love her!
So this past weekend, I met Choncha the Chola ask as Cammjay. A humble Latino from the west coast who was in Houston supporting Boomcack at his make up event(previous post) Honestly, I found out who Choncha was that day and so glad I did. His energy, humbleness and desire to be a positive impact on everyone through his crazy sarcasm and wit is genius. As I sat in the audience watching him speak about himself and his background and why he is using his platform to be an influence, I felt I had to chat a little with him and pick his brain. *I filmed this the same day, I filmed the NFL post just later that day - so pardon if I'm looking a little rough. lol

Cammjay shares hilarious videos on his youtube channel that you must watch.

enjoy! 

My cousin inspires me

My cousin inspires me
So many woman inspire me. Inspire me to be better, dress a certain way, feel a certain way and that has inspired  "Woman who inspire me, Wednesday's" to the blog. Hope you are inspired by these stories as well. 

My mother and Jessica's mom were cousins. I remember as children; almost every summer was spent in Mexico with my grandparents. I loved going to Mexico because it was also a chance for me to visit with my cousins who came down from Chicago to spend time with their grandparents. My cousin Jessica is younger than me, and over 10 years ago she lost her mother. We became closer over our adult years; she has a son who my son plays really well with and on top of all of that we are family so the support, love and bond will always be there. Recently, Jessica has been on a mission to change her lifestyle. Her personal health lifestyle and that is what has inspired this post. She has lost over 80lbs and that is MAJOR! I asked her to write a piece for my blog to help inspire others and myself even to continue to live a happy, healthy and fit lifestyle.


"One day in the middle of my workout, a song from Beyoncé, Heaven came on and instantly I began to think about my mother. My mother passed away over 10yrs ago, and I started to think about "my WHY". That "why" was and is my "reason " to change and started to change and live a healthy and fit lifestyle. When I was young and overweight my mother would always try and encourage me to exercise and eat healthy. She was trying to instill in me how important it was, but as a teenager I didn’t want to hear it, with all the insecurities I already had, I didn’t want to admit that I had a weight problem on top of it. Thinking about my mother gave me even more determination to continue pushing to the end. To many times we take life for granted and don’t realize how important our lives are. As I laid on the floor; doing my plank for 60 sec, that’s all I could think about...how she was right next to me pushing me to hold longer, and softly saying how proud she was of me because I finally took control! I was so scared to admit to myself the damage I had already caused myself and how I was stuck. I was uncomfortable being comfortable at 280 LBS. (my heaviest). My mindset was anything I thought that could be different, was impossible but I’m here to tell you that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! I didn’t love myself nor did I believe in the true strength that lies within me, and I honestly can say that all those negative thoughts has changed. As I was finishing my workout, all I could say was THANK YOU MOM, for always believing in me and teaching me everything you possibly could. I didn’t know then, but now I do and I want to say that feeling is so rewarding knowing what I am capable of and the dreams that lie before me, are possible! SO then the journey begins… 





Love you Prima!

JLO legally changes her name...

JLO legally changes her name...

The beautiful 45 year old Jennifer Lopez legally changed her name to ... tan tan tan ----> 
Jennifer Lopez. Not quite the big name change your were expecting but she had taken on the name of Jennifer Muniz when she married Marc Anthony Muniz or Marco Antono Muniz which is his real name back in 2004. The couple split in 2011, but the divorce was just finalized in June of 2014. They co-parent the twins, Emma and Max. 

I am excited about reading her book "True Love" she is one truly amazing woman career wise. I was skimming through the book moments ago and I read quickly about how everyone in the world must be thinking she was living a dream... she was married to Marc Anthony, she was performing at an award show, she was on top of the world...but really her world was falling apart" her memoir True Love has made Jennifer Lopez a NY Best Selling Author as well.  

I'll let you know my thoughts on it next week...

Have a beautiful Wednesday!

New Year; New You?

Monday, January 5, 2015

New Year; New You?

Happy New Year SpoiledOnes! 

I am hoping everyone had a beautiful time with friends and family as did I. The holidays are always fun, this year unfortunately I didn't spend time with my side of the family. I was pretty bummed about it, but now I am looking forward to spending time with them very soon.  

So, how many of you have resolutions this year? Do you think they work? Honestly, I didn't write anything down as far as "resolutions" but I do have a few things that I want to change about myself and my routines that have been on my mind.

  • Working out: This might be the most popular among everyone. Staying on track of your fitness goals is pretty hard when you are a working mom, business exec, and CEO of your home. I mean, I can we can easily take the easy route and have liposuction than work out (which is a great alternative) but I will stick to the gym this year; set an hour long playlist or listen to audio book as I work out.
  • Blog OOTD: 2014, was a busy year for me. Lots of traveling which meant more instagram pictures and captions and less blogging. This year I will blog daily and share my outfits with you as inspiration for your daily wardrobe.
  • Read More: I bought so many good books last year, read through a few pages than one of lives interruptions happened and the book was never touched again. This year already, I have ordered 1 book and purchased 2 at the store.  I will read and share the books I read. 
  • Save money: It's so easy to buy things when you have money. This year I am grateful for my career and for my pocketbook, however I will work on my instant gratification spending that I tend to do and save the dolla dolla bills for the rainy days or the quick vacays!
Whatever resolutions, changes or habits you are improving, I am wishing you the best! If you don't follow through or something happens and you just couldn't resist, buying that bag or eating that delicious meal... don't feel bad. We all make mistakes, what matters is what you do to fix that mistake and make it work for you. 

Wishing you a beautiful 2015, with many laughs, encouraging and positive people around you, lots of success and an abundance of blessings!
