Celebrating the Holidays con Familia + A Holiday Giveaway

This post was sponsored by Hallmark and Latina Bloggers Connect.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As we prepare for the gift exchanging and the holiday parties, I want to share some fun new holiday cards that Hallmark has created for our family and friends who speak Español or if you're like me want to give some of your non Spanish speaking friends a card from their favorite Latina, lol! My family is a big one, and most of the time I can't make it to be with some of the most important family members such as my abuela's because they are living in Mexico and I cannot be with them. That is why I am happy that Hallmark is helping us connect with family and friends in our language. Imagine the happiness someone gets when receiving a card. 

The cards are beautiful hand designed cards that are perfect for everyone on your list. Whether its a holiday, birthday or just because they have a variety of funny, religious, lighthearted and heartfelt cards, you know the ones that make you cry because they are just that beautiful. I love the "just because" cards - just takes the words right out of my mind and on the card. Imagine the happiness someone gets when receiving a card with a picture or a small gift.

Visit Hallmark.com to find and share the perfect holiday card. 

Just in time for the Holiday gifting enter to win ...Buena Suerte!

SpoilYourself - Giveaway

So excited to share this giveaway with you guys! 

Last month on Latina.com I was asked to suggest the perfect holiday gift. Either something I wanted or wanted to gift.  I couldn't think of anything else that I wanted more than a portable battery charger. Something that fits in my purse, my camera bag or even my jacket pocket. I researched the best cases, some were small and inexpensive and others were a bit bulkier and pricey.  I think I found the best portable battery out there!

It's the Trident - EL TRIDENT EL-E9000-PP Electra Portable Power 9000.  

I am able to charge my iPhone 5s a minimum of 3 times simply by plugging in the USB chord and voila, my life is saved. You can also charge your cameras or anything else that requires a USB chord. 

Now you have a chance of owning one yourself. Enter the SpoiledLatina giveaway now! Oh and you will win the PINK one just like the one pictured above thanks to +Radio Shack 

Good Luck!

Love "El Chavo" *giveaway

So happy that I get to share one of my favorite childhood tv shows with my 3 year old son!  El Chavo del Ocho is a Mexican iconic tv show, that has found its way into the hearts of many young children in the U.S. El Chavo is now an english cartoon that our children can watch, learn and connect with their latin heritage. I know my son is loving it!

I remember going to my grandmothers house in Mexico and watching El Chapolin Colorado and eating pan dulce and drinking a cold coca cola. Those were the good old days,  I wish I had a picture of myself dressed as "La Chilindrina" for Halloween one year, I later regretted it, because for about a year or 2 after that my family would call me, La Chilindrina. lol
