My Favorites at Latin Billboards 2013

The Latina Billboard Awards were live last night from Miami and I have to say, everyone was looking so beautiful. I love my Latinos. We are such a colorful culture. 

Romeo Santos was looking sharp as always rocking his non prescription glasses. According to his Manager Johnny Marines, Romeo is looking into a few movie roals. They are friends with Will Smith but Johnny didn't confirm.  Johnny who is a former NYPD was using his past expertise on the lady fanatics of Romeo Santos last night, everywhere they went ladies wanted to touch and hug on him. 

Ana Barbara who served as Host at this years awards looked stunning. 

Congrats to Don Omar and Natti Natasha who won Best Song of The Year with - Dutty Love

I was at Hooters having lunch with clients of mine and I received that email and ever since, I have a fire inside of me to continue and be the best me, I can be. I have always loved blogging because it gave me my own voice and space on the www to share my thoughts, my feelings, my ideas and in this  case some very awesome news.

I was in Miami for Hispanicize and I met tons of fabulous people. One person in particular I was very happyto meet was Editor in Chief of Cosmo for Latinas, Michelle Herrera Mulligan. We met at the bar, hey, don't judge, we were enjoying the Target pool party and happen to be thinking alike lol. 

I was pleased to sit in her "15 minutes of Genius" where she discussed her life as an Editor and struggles as a Latina in that world and her many accomplishments. I walked away with a lot of knowledge and very inspired.  

Don't forget, April 30th, Michelle Rodriguez on the cover, Me in the inside, page 11!!

Pitbull responds to Jay-Z's open letter song with his own version

A couple of weeks ago Jay-Z and Beyonce celebrated their wedding anniversary in Cuba which caused alot of static with most citizens of Cuba.  Mr. 305, Pibull is Cuban Proud and we knew he could not let the moment pass without weighing in on the topic himself.

The U.S holds strong economic sanctions in Cuba and the idea of them traveling to that country was abusured to most and has also led to a probe to find out whether or not The  Carters had proper permission to enter the country.

Expert potty training tips #everyflush

Being a Huggies Madrina Del Bano I was able to participate in a conference call with Dr. Alberto Cotton and fellow mom blogger Jeannette Kaplun about potty training. Since my son is 3, potty training is in full effect and this call was very helpful to very first potty training experience.

Dr. Alberto Cotton and fellow mom blogger Jeannette Kapluna

Being that my son is 3, I was feeling a bit stressed when the topic of my son not being potty trained was brought up. I had heard that boys and girls are a lot different obviously, but the myth that boys take a little longer and it's simply a little harder was taking its toll.  

So this is what I learned:

1. All children are different and there are four stages of potty training. Dr. Cotton states that the 1st stage is when the child, in this case my son is wearing a diaper and is wet but it doesn't bother him. He (Anthony) was at this step for a couple of months. The 2nd stage is when the child takes off his diaper and asks to be changed because he cannot stand to be wet. Anthony totally skipped this step. He never told me he needed to be changed, I always changed him before I thought he felt uncomfortable. I do talk and explain to him that a wet diaper is no fun and that it was best for him to let me know so that I can change him.*Speaking to a 2 year old sometimes is the same as talking to a wall. lol  Stage 3 is when the child asks to potty but doesn't make it to the toilet on time and the 4th stage is when the child asks to be taken to the potty and makes it on time.  I am proud to say that we are now officially at the 4th stage of potty training and completely skipped over the 3rd stage.  I have to admit, we are celebrating every moment! 
2. Sitting or standing for boys- whatever works at the moment. My son is sitting, but now recently has been wanting to stand. We are still working on it. 
3. Use a Timer- children need structure and repetitiveness and according to Ms. Jeannette setting a 30 minute timer will remind them that its time to go to the potty and after a while won't need a timer because they will automatically know.   
4. Wiping- for boys is a little easier, girls we must remind them how to wipe and constantly keep reminding them the importance of cleaning. 
5. Public restrooms- This is a big deal for me. Since my son has been sitting at home, I hate for him to sit at a public restroom. In Latin America, it's OK for a boy to pee by the tree but here in America it isn't seen as normal says Dr. Cotton. He suggests waiting. I am taking Ms. Jeannette's advice and buying a portable seat and buy lots of antibacterial wipes, that way I won't have to worry about my son touching anything which drives me crazy.

My lil man sitting on the potty

We are making Anthony's potty training a family affair. Since he goes over to his auntie and grandparent's house, we have encouraged them to support us in our efforts of saving money on diapers and assist us in potty training. Luckily like I mentioned, since he is in stage 4,  he is asking to sit on the potty and he is listening so it's making his visits a little easier. 

We are celebrating every step of the way by singing a song like Ms. Jeannette suggested or rewarding Anthony with stickers, and hopefully in just a few more months he will be fully potty trained. 

Huggies has an app, that you can download that has tips on making potty training a bit easier.

New Music: Joan Sebastian & Will I. Am

Not your oridinary collaboration, you see Joan Sebastian is a Mexican Regional singer who is about the age of my daddy and Will I Am, well we all know who he is, Mr. Black Eye Peas.  Both of whom are Grammy winners, respected in their genre of music and being collegues in the music business they managed to work the business aspect out.

News of this collab first came out last year around this time when Joan announced he had been writing english songs and wanted Will to produce the album. Very smart decision to accept for Mr. I Am. because Joan Sebastian has a very strong and loyal fan base and Will does too and not to mention anything he touches is instantly a hit. Yet, I was a bit apprehensive when I was going to listen to the track.

It is titled "I want to be happy" it is an upbeat sound, basically telling the woman of his dreams, that he wants to be happy and tired of the bs. ( typical )  It's catchy, it'll be one of those young college days, drunken nights, young hipster anthems, especially in the US and Latina America... don't believe me, just watch!
