Superbowl Beyonce!

The Queen proved why she is the reigning champ tonight! Not only did Coldplay and Bruno Mars play back up to Formation singer; but she just through everyone for a loop when she hit us with the 1,2, punch and announced her Formation World Tour.  

The one woman who can drop a new video for a new song, perform that song at the Superbowl the day after dropping the new video and announce a world tour at the heel of per performance is not only a performer, but a mother, a wife, a daughter and and inspiration to many of us. 

There has been a lot of talk about her video and what it means -- she has guts, courage and without a doubt doesn't give 2 hoots about anyones opinion.

Thank you, Beyonce!

 Thank you for the years of musical happiness, for taking us on your journey that was also our journey. I say that because her songs, carry out moments that some of us live in some way or another. Music connects to the heart and is felt in the soul and she has been someone that I have cried with, laughed, danced, turned up to and I have admired her for many many years. Classy, gracious, humble, simply B. 

If you aren't one of the 11 million viewers that has watched the Formation video--- than here you go!

And, if you want more info on the tour...more info here.

Jessica Alba covers Cosmo

Not only is she beautiful, but she is a powerful, driven and if that wasn't enough...she's Latina!

Jessica Alba covers Cosmopolitan March 2016 issue where she talks about living like a boss and shares some of her success stories. She talks about her first career and how she wanted to be a big action star, to be as relevant as men. She also talks about embracing her femininity later in life and when she got her boobs at a young age didn't really know what to do. 

Jessica is also a mother of 2, married and I would love to say she is a Spoiled Latina too. Her Honest  company brand "spoils" babies at a young age by using products that won't harm their little bodies. No chemicals are used and honestly, the affordability for these amazing products are reason itself to start using safe products on our children early. 

Here are a few photos from the mag...in stores soon.

Fiesta De La Flor announcement and interview with Suzette

Wow!

Yesterday, was the press conference for the Fiesta De La Flor festival in Corpus Christi and what a beautiful experience it was. I drove down the night before, and glad that I did because although I was born in Corpus, I hadn't and still haven't experienced it as an adult, so being out at a small irish pub downtown and seeing the beautiful art downtown was nice.

The City of Corpus Christi Visitors Bureau hosted the press conference to announce this years lineups and special announcements for #FDLF  (watch video) The cities mayor spoke as well as Citgo's representative whom they referred to as "El Jefe".

It was special for me being born in Corpus, I expressed my feelings on my Instagram yesterday while sharing the video on having grown up there and Selena being a teenager when I was a child and me looking up to her and wanting to get an interview with her when I was 9 years old. It's a cute story. lol

The #FDLF festival is scheduled for May 6-7.....who's down to go?

visited her memorial

SpoiledLatina loves cars - Houston Auto Show

Lizza in the House!

Houston, We have Cars!
Lots of them and they are all different from nice to big, round, spacious, tiny, affordable, expensive and everything in between. The Houston Auto Show was the place to be at this past weekend. NRG Park is where all the fun was at. If you had been watching my snaps from earlier that week, you saw that I was at the #HoustonAutoShow on Wednesday having a ball!?

How fun is it to walk around a big open space filled with all types of cars? Chevrolet, GMC, Ford,

Toyota,  Jeep, Mercedes, BMW, VW you name the car and they were there. All except for RR.  I love being in a room of "inspiration" the "one day, I'm going to be driving in the Mercedes G-Wagon" moments fill my heart and get me motivated to keep on pushing.

Sprout Channel New Original Series "FLOOGALS" premieres January 23rd!

If you are a parent than you know about Sprout Channel, if you don't know or don't have children, let me school you. Sprout is a 24-hour preschool network, that up until recently my son started growing out of. It's a healthy alternative to watching all of the other channels TV offers.  I'm hoping that tomorrow's launch of the channel's newest original series "Floogals" will captivate his mind and keep his attention. Floogals is super cute, I was invited to a lunch this past week with Sprout Channel's VP of  Programming Lisa O'Brien intruding the show and we caught a sneak peak of the adorable series which follows three inquisitive aliens whom are exploring planet earth. Everyday is an exciting mission of experimentation, learning and discovery with Captain Fleeker, First Officer Flo and Junior Boomer as they explore the human way of life. 

The series is created for kids 2-6 years of age and has stunning cinematic quality. Floogals is funny and has smart story telling and each episode is about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary which is Sprout's overall brand identity. I connected with it being a Montessori mom, because watching the series reminds me of how Anthony must have felt when he was learning and discovering new objects and feeling new fabrics and fibers. My little pumpkin is 6 now, and I will continue to make sure his mind is full of positivity and growth and I will encourage him to watch the series. 

Hope you guys watch it!

quick video recap of the event and pictures... enjoy!
