NRG/Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

If you didn't know NRG Energy, Inc. is the official energy partner of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I mean, someone has to make sure the concert lights turn on and carnival rides work. right?!  The Energy giant also has created a cool electric service plan for those people who want to make the switch and also love incentives.  The Rodeo Plan is tailored for the ultimate Rodeo fan, the plan delivers competitive pricing and also offers a free pair of Justin® boots by signing up.

• customers receive competitive pricing for 12 months
• 24/7 service and support online or by phone
• access to information and tools that put you in control of your electricity budget

NRG’s partnership with the Rodeo doesn’t stop there, as they have teamed up to provide personal power solutions that when we are at the rodeo our phones aka our lives don't power off!! The way it works is there are booths powered by NRG around the city of Houston or at local events, they have a battery pack that can be rented for $3.99 a week you use it and return it to any kiosk. They can also plug to a Street Charger which is a 12.5 foot tower equipped with solar panels and a bevy of mobile device charging cables where we can charge our phone for free!!


The power packs look like this, very easy to carry.

look for them around Houston and see you at the Rodeo!

Jamaican Me Miss You

Hola SpoiledOnes! It's been a crazy couple of weeks and this cold mixed with rain is not making matters better. I am missing Jamaica. I feel as though I have connection to the country. I am not sure if it reminds me of Mexico because the people are friendly and the food is amazing- especially the spices! I have visited the island twice and I am fascinated with it. I can't wait to explore the rest of Jamaica. My last trip was in November of 2014; and I learned so much more than my previous visit. I was able to explore and learn the culture and see historical sights. Truly an honor to see.

Avocado Heaven last night in Houston! #EchaleChallenge event recap pictures

Last night, guests who joined the festivities for the Avocados from Mexico #EchaleChallenge event at the swanky Galleria eatery Caracol, were in Avocado heaven!   We were treated to fresh avocado filled fish tacos, delicious shrimp cocktail bites and other delicious appetizers all with avocados. We all mixed and mingled through out the room while sipping on avocado margaritas that I must admit were delicious the Mojitos and avocado sangria were also tasty drinks. Guests also enjoyed some of Vianney of Sweet Life Bake amazing chocolate and avocado brownies and also gained valuable fitness tips from Carmen Melogoza from Latino Fit Club.  The crowd of about 75-100 people truly enjoyed themselves. I was so glad to be a part of this great event and to see a lot of my friends and colleagues and also got to meet new friends. 

Thanks for the love!

Disney's 1st Latina princess Elena of Avalor

It is no wonder Latinos are the major minority; we have big spending power and our influence is growing. With that being said I'm glad Disney took notice and created its first Latina princess

 Elena of Avalor

love the red dress and big hoops

Elena will star in her own TV show airing on Disney Junior in 2016; but will be meet her on an upcoming episode of Sophia The First. 

What Disney has shared about Elena is that she is a confident and compassionate 16 year old , she has a little sister named Princess Isabel, her grandfather Tito, and her grandmother Cici. (where is her mother?) She also has a best friend named Mateo and while trying to save her family from Shuriki, Elena was pulled into her own magical amulet.  Princess Sofia is wearing the amulet now will restore Elena to her human form and helps her return to Avalor. Too cute!

I love the fact that she is also voiced by a Latina actress Aimee Carrero who is on ABC Family’s Young & Hungry. She is Dominican and raised in Miami. 

Looking forward to meeting Elena of Avalor soon!
