ABC 13 Houston highlights Yvonne Guidry of SpoiledLatina.com for #HHM

When I first started my blog, I didn't have a plan. All I knew was I loved music, I loved fashion and all things pertaining to beauty. I also knew I wanted to share my thoughts with the whole world and since the internet was something semi new at the time, I logged into blogger and created my first blog post.  Fast forward 6 years later and now my blog has been featured in multiple national magazines, I have spoken on several blogging panels, have a large number of followers and my blog gets thousands of visits daily. 

As I grew older, I knew that I was also being followed by young Latina's and young women everywhere and I wanted to be a role model in their lives whether I personally knew them or not. I want them to know that no matter where you came from or what situation you are living, that as long as they keep pushing and pursuing their dreams they can become reality.  So many times being stuck in a rut feels as though you will never outgrow that situation, but in all honesty, you can!

I was so excited when Rebecca Spera of ABC 13, reached out to me about being assigned to interview me/highlight me for Hispanic Heritage Month. I work my butt off, never for recognition but for the love of life, my life.

Thank you to everyone who visits SPOILEDLATINA.COM on a daily!!

Tina Knowles personal story

Last week, I attended a Women and Money Luncheon where Tina Knowles was the Key Note Speaker and listening to her personal story was truly inspirational. This was HER story not the Beyonce or Destiny's Child's story. Listen to hear how she persevered and how strong she is today and has always been.

Miss Tina also received the Key to the City of Houston which made October 2nd, Tina Knowles Day and if that wasn't enough it was proclaimed Tina Knowles Day all over the U.S.A. 

Congrats Miss Tina!

JCPenney partners with Gonzo Soccer in Houston

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with JCPenney and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a soccer clinic hosted by Gonzo Soccer and JCPenny. This new partnership is nothing short of amazing. The clinic allowed girls, ages 8-16 years old, to come and receive pro soccer tips and tricks from Monica Gonzalez, the founder of Gonzo Soccer. The girls received life skills training to help develop them to be leaders in the community. The girls were also treated to the latest sporty hair trends provided by JCP Salon. They enjoyed healthy snacks, refreshments and music, and even got to make their own custom Xersion jerseys!

SpoiledLatina radio interview

Last week I was interviewed by the Food Monsters a radio show on K Breeze Radio, hosted by Dom and his co-host Priya. I had not been interviewed on radio before so it was nice to be interviewed by someone that I know.  I talked about juggling mommy hood and my business, working with brands and #TeamHennessy. 

Also, on the same show was Ameer Jumabhoy who is an international polo player and model. 

After the interview, we ate at one of my favorite asian "spots" in Houston and the lobster was to die for!

Viva Mexico and Hispanic Heritage Month

It's Hispanic Heritage Month and I couldn't be more excited!

Hispanic Heritage celebrations since 1968 were celebrated for a week until President Reagan declared it to be celebrated a whole month back in 1988.  September 15th- October 16th;  is now Hispanic Heritage Month. Celebrating the Hispanics that came before me and the legacy they have left behind for us to learn about and teach our children about.

I have created my personal Pinterest board that I will be updating frequently this month with some of my favorite things to eat, stories that I will share with my son and fascinating facts about hispanics and the beautiful culture that we bring. 

Happy Independence Day to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Chile (9/18) Belize (9/21)  and of course to my motherland, MEXICO! ( I was born in the US but my roots are Mexican)

Saludos to all my hispanic brothers and sisters, who are making a difference in society and following your dreams to leave your own legacy.  We, Latinos are the driving force in US economics today and if you didn't know the major minority. We hold offices in government, business, sports and entertainment and we aren't going anywhere!

Viva Los Latinos!

SpoiledLatina featured in Latina Magazine

Honestly, don't know what to write right now. I am speechless, appreciative, thankful and honored to be featured in Latina Magazine, October issue. As a little girl growing up, I had dreams and goals and it is such a good feeling when you are recognized by the very magazine that I have read for years. Awesome feeling...

As I mentioned in a previous post, Eva Longoria graces the cover but ya girl (Me) is featured in page 32 of the same magazine!  One of my all time favorite eye make up applications is the cat eye. 

I love a thin cat eye to keep it classy and sexy but I also love a thick cat eye

 a la Amy Winehouse. 

My Latina style:

I just started using the Benefit push up liner and I love it! Must haves for the fall or if you're like me, all year long. 

Below are some of my past cat eye looks....

Anthony was about 3 months here... but my eyes!

Lisa Pelayo on the eyes

thinly lined, keeping it sexy

This was for an ad I did a few years ago.

Latina Magazine, October 2014 issue out now!!

Festival People [recap] Disney Love

If you have been following me on Instagram and Twitter you probably noticed I attended the festivities in San Antonio, that being Festival People. I was fortunate to connect with my Cricket Nation family who sponsored by travels in exchange for social media engagement and being that I am a Cricket Advocate that gave me and the people I connected with

 "Something to Smile About"! All opinions about the festival and Cricket are my own. 

So, this is the 3rd time the People en Español Festival has been held in San Antonio, and it was my first time attending so I was really excited to get on the road and on with the festivities.

I arrived in sunny San Antonio, where my Cricket phone service worked like a charm! We stayed the Grand Hyatt which is the white building. The parking was underground, and I was surprised that my phone had service while 2 levels below ground.
