Houston Fashion Bloggers Holiday party

I am slacking on my pimpin lately...lol My posts have been slow, with the holidays and all I have just neglected my poor baby. But here I am today, with a little cold,  the day after Christmas with a bit of energy and hoping to catch up. Hope all is well in your world! Merry Christmas!

Mandy joined me and I dressed her (long story)   

Couples of weeks ago, I was invited to the Houston Fashion Bloggers Holiday party held at Saks 5th and I was particularly excited to meet the founder and the rest of the fashion bloggers in town. To my surprise, there were quite a few. I mean Houston is a large city so I knew there would be some fashionistas with the same goals and like as me.   

It was a pleasure meeting all of you and I will most def see you guys a lot more in 2013.

my take on Net10 Wireless...

I love new gadgets and phones especially, so when I got offered to try out the new Net10 Wireless phones and their phone plans I naturally obliged.  Ok, so let me tell you about Net10 Wireless, they are a new phone company focusing on family plans while saving us the consumers some bucks in these economic hardships.  We could all use some extra money in out pockets and Net10 is making it easy for everyone to have their own phone, without going over minutes or getting charged extra for text messaging. 

I, being the Spoiledone that I am, had first dibs at the phones and I chose to try out the LG Optimus Logic which I am actually loving right now. It's a touch screen phone, I am able to download my favorite apps, such as Instagram and Facebook. It has a seamless integration with google apps therefore allowing me to download my calendar and contacts to this phone. It's a nice size, clean and sturdy phone. I have already downloaded children's learning apps also for my soon to be 3 year old to learn with. 

My hubby who has been a strict blackberry user, is happy to be trying out a new phone that he could actually get online easier with, and download games and apps. Something he is not used to doing. Mr. SL will be using the LG800G  good thing about this particular phone is that it only weighs 3 ounces, its touch screen and easy to use.

So here is how Net10 Wireless works, and why I think its a smart decision. No credit checks, low monthly fees, great phones and the family rate plans are unbeatable. With the new Family Talk plans, Net10 is an even better choice for families! 

They give you all the great savings of a contract plan without the contract, nationwide service on Americas most dependable networks and the best part of it all, no activation or cancellation fees!! Whoop! First like is $50 bucks unlimited data, text and talk and each additional like you add is only $40 more.  so thats..... 

2 line family plan: $90 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411


3 line family plan: $130 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411


4 line family plan: $170 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411

I know for certain, that me and most of my friends pay at least $100 per month for just one line. So 2 lines at $90 and at $85 if we do automatic refill, will surely make for an extra pair of shoes in our closets. lol

Makeup2 (squared) Launch Party hosted by Me

Had the pleasure of hosting a long time friend of mine's make up launch over the weekend. Tee Burr is a celebrity make up artist who I met when I hired her for some music videos a looong time ago. I always kept in contact with her, so when she told me she was launching her own make up line called Makeup Squared and asked me to host her launch party, it was a no brainer.

The evening was filled with fabulous women, great music, good food and lots of laughs and a good time!

You have to support the line, which is the only cosmetics brand designed for women who represent all ethnicities & myriad of skin tone. And guess what, a SpoiledLatina collection may soon be in the making :)

Mandy came out to support

Tee is a makeup genius

the colors are highly pigmented, i love them all

Wine (Columbia Crest) & Dinner

I was invited to a sit down dinner at Haven with head wine maker at Columbia Crest Winery, Juan A. Munoz Oca who happens to be Latino by way of Argentina.

I was excited to have gotten an invite from Columbia Crest, and although my tummy wasn't too happy that evening I did enjoy my experience. I was happy to meet other social media gurus and the wine maker himself.  We ate a fab dinner paired with different wines and got to know the wine maker. Our food was even brought out to us by the head chef, how cool is that?

Juan was so cordial, he spoke about growing up in Argentina and how his grandfather and him would walk the vineyards as a child. I think its awesome how everyone in this world is different and lead interesting lives in their own right. Him being a wine maker he was so knowledgable about the different wines we tasted, obviously because he made them, but he was passionate about them. Juan also explained why Washington is just as great or an even better location for a winery than Napa Valley. Why you ask, well for one it never rains making it a perfect climate for a grapes to grow and the fact that they have their own irrigation system allows them to create the perfect wines.

Mr. Juan and I

The wines were so delicious, not dry and when I found out the prices of the wines I was surprised. A great bottle of quality wine sold between $8-15. Meaning, we can all enjoy wine and be fancy on a budget. love it!  Out of the 4 different wines we tasted, including 2010 Chardonnay, 2010 Les Chevaux Red Wine, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite. It was a taste of cherries with a cocoa finish, it was soooo yummy! I actually need a glass right now. lol

our dinner, so good (all Texas raised & grown)

Chef Randy Rucker (one of the best chef's in Houston)

i love a table with wine glasses flowing

Overall, I had a great time, tasted some new wines that will now be purchased by myself and friends of mine. A big thank you to Columbia Crest for the invite, keep up the great work Juan!

RIP Jenni

Although, I wasn't one to listen to Jenni Rivera or much of her music, I did see how the Latino public loved them some Jenni. She was always one to speak her mind, was a strong woman, held her own in the entertainment business and either you loved her or hated her but she was unrecognizable. It's kind of hard for me to write this blog post because to me, being Mexican American and the age that I am now, we haven't felt this pain for one of our own since Selena.  This whole day December 10th, seems to be dedicated to her, her life and what she has left only as memories to us, her fans.  As is sit here, I am watching her on TV as they are replaying her music over and over....

Jenni Rivera performed what was her last and final concert in Monterrey, NL. which happens to be an hour away from where I spent a lot of my summers as a child. She was said to be traveling with her lawyer, make up artist and a few others who have all lost their life yesterday shortly after  3:30am.

She left  behind 5 children and 2 grandchildren ( my thoughts and condolences are with her family) a music legacy and was about to embark in movies making her film debut next month....So sad and tragic. 

Remember to love those around you. Always show your appreciation to others, say I love you when you do, because nothing in life is promised. 

I love you SpoiledOnes!

Winter Sexy

Winter Sexy by spoiledlatina 

I love the the winter because, I just think it's a sexy season. One way to feel sexy is by wearing nice intimate clothing underneath your winter wardrobe. Nothing turns a man on more, than natural makeup, a nice eyeliner, sexy lips and little to no clothes. lol Try it! It's cold outside, but doesn't mean you can't change the temperature :)

El Pavo Esta! Happy Thanksgiving *video (Univision)

So a couple of days ago, I was asked to be a "model" in a video, I've never been in a video, but it was a funny parody of a song called Tacata, I had not heard the song before but apparently it has a lot of youtube hits. Anyway, the video features JoJo, from Mananas on Tu Musica 104.9 as the Turkey himself, lots of the Univision staff including the news team.  I asked Athena to be my model friend and dance in the video with me, since he has lots of experience.

We had lots of fun acting silly...Hope you enjoy it! Happy Thanksgiving! click to watch

"O" Baby!! Why Getting Yours Will Improve Your Health!

I have the best news ever!! Drum roll, please....Now you have every reason to have more SEX (safe of course)!! Let me tell you why getting yours is not only good, but good for you!

Sex is a form of exercise, and like all exercise it burns calories and boosts endorphins making you feel great! After a good roll in the hay, ever notice how your skin glows, your stress level is lower, the tension in your body has lessened, your overall perspective has become a little more positive? This is no coincidence! Your body goes thru ALOT during and after doing the deed. So whether you are accompanied or flying solo, here are some great reasons to make sure to get you some. After all, an orgasm a day just may keep the doctor away!

Meeting with Romeo Santos...So Nasty

I love music and as most of us do, we also have our favorites. I was fortunate enough to meet one of my favorite musicians, Romeo Santos of the mega latin group Aventura while he was in Houston promoting his dvd release for "The King Stays King" a concert dvd from where he  sold out at Madison Square Garden for about 3 nights consecutively. He's like the male version of J.Lo, that hard to get close to. 

There must have been over 2k people in line waiting to get an autograph, catch a glimpse, a smile, and if lucky a hug from this latino heartthrob.... luckily I didn't have to wait in a line. I got a smile, a hug and we spoke and laughed about some of his previous work and very first cd. I was waiting on him while he met other fans for a private meet and greet the radio hosted and honestly I don't know how he does it...I was laughing the whole time, at the requests some of the fans were making, than at the replies the management would give. His management took care of everything and even though he may have been growing frustrated, he kept his cool and smiled at everyone.  

I attended the concert this year with my girlfriends and we all had a blast. Go out and support Romeo and thank you to mi amigo, Johnny Marines, for always looking out for me!

his last concert was so much fun...my life here

Remember...

stole this from my Facebook friend John.....

"Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind."

by the way.... There are 60 days left in 2012....How will you spend the remainder of the year? What changes will you make in preparation for the new year?

I for certain, will remain positive and will continue to hustle my way to success....You are either with me, by my side or in my freaking way.

Making Fitness a Part of Your Lifestyle!!

"You will never have the ass you want by sitting on the ass you have." Harsh, but true statement. The reality in life is that you will only aggressively persue that which you truly want. Bottom line is how bad do you want it??

In a society where everything is so fast paced and time seems more limited than ever it is very easy to make excuses about why you live the way you do, why you eat the way you do and why you refuse to make fitness a goal and priority in your life. "Well I don't have enough time." "I'm too tired." "I don't know how to cook healthy." Do these words sound familiar to you? If they do, I encourage you to make a conscious effort to immediately STOP making excuses and make yourself and your health a priority. The benefits of leading a healthy and fit lifestyle, not diet or phase, but LIFESTYLE, are not only cosmetic, but you will reap rewards in your health and mind as well. Your attitude on life improves, your self esteem increases, you will live longer! Aside from feeling and looking great you have all these added bonuses that money cannot buy. Money cannot buy health or self esteem. You have to make yourself a priority period. There are are 24 hours in each day, and if you can take one hour out 3-4 times a week to get your ass to the gym or go somewhere you can get your sweat on you will be on your way to a whole new you...a better you!

Here are some tips on how to get motivated:

1. Get Started. Get the ball rolling! The hardest part is getting started, but just dive in! Find a gym, park, class or some kind of outlet for you to begin working out. Start on Monday if you must, but really any day, like today, is the perfect time to begin.

My 1st Latism Experience....it was great!

I had never been to a conference for Latinos in Social Media and I must say I loved it and I will return the next and the following years to come. There was a feeling in the air and room filled with nothing but Latinos who love blogging or are involved in Social Media. This was the perfect place to learn, engage, meet and connect with the RIGHT people and making lasting friendships. I enjoyed everyone I met.

Not only was I nominated for Best Latina Fashion Blogger but I didn't even know I was nominated until a week before the conference, which is why I'm guessing I lost. :) lol I was up against some great nominees and considering it was my 1st nomination, I was pleased. However, It would have been great to win in my own city!
