Springing into my home garden

Springing into my home garden
Hola SpoiledOnes! How have you been? Espero que bien! 

Well, winter has come and went and summer is slowly approaching, gardens are blossoming and squirrels are playing in the yards. I got so excited the other day, when I noticed my flower buds blossoming.  I live a wooded residential area, where most of my neighbors keep their lawns looking really nice. I even have one neighbor who I find cutting his yard, twice a week. So of course; we don't want to be the house with the ugly yard so we have our yard cut every other week. 


Lately, I've been wanting to experiment with gardening on my own. I remember as a child, my mother would be outside in our home garden planting flowers, trees and fruits. My father had a chile' tree, where he would send me to pick chile del monte to compliment his breakfast or lunch. My grandmother in Mexico, has banana, tomato, chile, papaya I mean everything you can think of in her garden so all those memories and everything combined has inspired me start with my garden. 


One thing about gardening and getting the look or personality that we want (as in all facets of our life) is the quality of the products we use. I actually went to Wal-Mart (because mom used to go to Wal-Mart and Handy Dan). I purchased Scotts Miracle-Gro and Ortho Round Up because for Spring Cleaning our garden these products are ideal.  I really want to make my yard look fab and take advantage of the woody area we live in. I also have a deck in my back yard and planning for my garden space to look beautiful for 4th of July or a nice dinner with the family outdoors. 


I'll be working on my outdoor space...and will share progress soon.

Road Trip to Corpus for Selena Festival

Friday, May 15, 2015



 A few weeks ago, I took a road trip to Corpus Christi to visit the Selena museum and memorial during the Selena "Fiesta De La Flor" festival. Had a fun 2 days with my friends, we laughed a whole lot, visited the grave site, the memorial on Ocean drive and walked through the museum. Seeing all her clothes which didn't look expensive while in glass but on Selena the outfits looked expensive. The many awards she had received while alive, were a sad memory for those visiting that weekend. 
Forever in our hearts!

NRG Energy savings package

In case you were not aware NRG Energy, Inc. is the official energy partner of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo which ended last week. The lights and carnival rides do not turn on by themselves right!? I am so glad that I was able to spend time at the carnival with my family on the last day! NRG, the Energy Empire has also made an awesome electronic service plan for the people thinking of making a switch and who also love incentives. The Rodeo Plan is customized for the ultimate Rodeo fan; the plan distributes competitive pricing and also offers a free pair of Justin Boots by signing up. Yes, a brand new beautiful pair of boots just by signing up!

That’s not all, NRG and the Rodeo teaming up has provided a personal power solution that keeps the only thing that keeps us sane (our Cell Phones) powered and ready to go!! The way it works is there are locations powered by NRG all around the city of Houston or at local events, they have battery packs that can be rented for $3.99 a week, and you use it and then return it to this kiosk. They can also plug into a 12.5 foot tower equipped with solar panels and a multitude of cellular phone device charging cables where we can charge for free!!!

Land O' Lakes Butter with Canola Oil *Giveaway
Hey guys! How many of you love butter but hate when you take it out of the fridge and spread it and it tears yours bread? Yeah,  I hate that too. Recently, I tried Land O' Lakes with Canola Oil and discovered its great flavor but also the fact that it is made by 3 ingredients. How cool is that?!
 Land O' Lakes tastes good because it is made with Canola Oil, salt and sweet cream -yup, that's it! And guess what?! It spreadable convenience is reason in itself to try it for yourself. 

Made of 3 Ingredients:
1. Sweet Cream
2.Canola Oil
3. Salt

Another reason, I am loving Land O' Lakes is because it is so versatile and its taste and performance is the same as margarines minus the 15 ingredients. It can be used for spreading on your favorite breads and pastries, or as a topping for sides or favorite dinners. Land O' Lakes shares recipes on their website for our meal preparations like the one below. 

I love me some crispy garlic & butter green beans! 
you can find the recipe and others on LandOLakes.com

I know you want to try it! Here is a coupon for you...simply click here.

I suggest you trying out the Land O'Lakes with Canola Oil but they also have a cinnamon sugar, honey and garlic & herb flavor that you may enjoy as well. 

 I love to eat! lol

As always, I try to spoil you guys...so on behalf of Land O' Lakes and Spoiled Latina.com  we would like to "spread" the love by doing a giveaway for a $35 Gift Card along with a butter spreader!!


Good Luck!!
