Getting Back To School Ready With Target

Happy Monday SpoiledOnes! 

How was your weekend? Ours was entertaining as always with little Anthony. H-Town Kid is heading into the 1st grade and although we make several trips to Target throughout the year, this one over the weekend was different. Our focus this time was getting back to school ready. He's not ready for summer to be over and although it is bitter sweet,  I am ready for the next step in his educational life aka mommy needs a break. 

He is learning so much, growing so much, has his own energetic and witty attitude. 

Raise your hands if you've ever been to Target for 1 thing and end up walking out spending $100 or more all because the many other item that we all of a sudden need are staring at us whispering "buy me". Thanks, I knew it was not just me. 

We walked in and of course, Anthony was hungry. I'm always up for some popcorn from Target. We sat for 30 minutes, thats how long it took him to eat 2 personal pan pizzas, I people watched, thanking God that I only had one child to get ready for back to school. We have kept up with his "homework" through out the summer so make his transition into 1st grade easier. . 

We headed over to the "School Shop" the Target designated school supplies section where other children and parents were shopping. I am so glad I was not the only one who looked confused while following a list. The color coded end caps made it easy for Anthony to help me shop for his school supplies. He got to pick his 1st grade lunch bag and a very cool Star Wars school box. 

We shopped for about another hour, walking through the boys section, picking out new pieces to add to his wardrobe. He loves to try clothes and I love to see how he suddenly transforms himself to a superstar with his confidence shining after he feels good in a new jacket or t-shirt. It's so cute! 

The Cartwheel app by Target has its extra savings at the store making it easy for us to save simply by downloading the app. Back to school savings will be available on the app until September but trust me, you'll want to keep the app and enjoy the savings year round. This weekend was also tax free weekend in Texas which helped me save even more $. 

Y'all make sure to take advantage of the back to school savings through out the month of August. During the 2nd and 3rd week of August you'll earn a $5 gift card when spending $30, you'll also save 30% off school uniforms and next week kids apparel savings are up to 30%. 

Don't forget to stop by the mommy section and spoil yourself a little too. We deserve that cute little something something :)

Living beautifully and purposely is essential to our busy lives. It's a way of staying sane in this crazy world. If we live happily and cheerful than life is much more beautiful. Less stress, less wrinkles, less tension equals good health and a long happy life. 

I grew up shopping at H-E-B, and Suave was and is a brand that is usually in my shower. Not only does Suave come in a variety of scents it performs just as well as a premium brand for a whole lot less and that my friend, makes me smile. My husband is the Suave purchaser and I'm the user. lol I use the conditioner, my hair is thick and find that the Suave conditioner helps detangle my hair and leaves it soft, manageable and beautiful. That's one way I spoil myself. I also use the Suave Kids Purely Fun 3 in 1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash on my son, Anthony. Of course, I use the conditioner as well for his hard to handle curls.

My mom, the Suave queen introduced me to the brand as a child, matter of fact she still buys it. She loves it. She prefers the Suave Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner, she says it makes her feel as if she's in Miami. I love that woman!

Pretty in Pink - OOTD

There is something about the color pink that makes me smile. Its my absolute favorite color. So when I visited the Marshall's store in Miami looking for a bathing suit, somehow I managed to make it to the dress area (its the natural shopper in me) I found this dress. The dress was on sale, took it to the dressing room to try it on and it fit perfectly. I had to buy it. This was my second time wearing the dress, I paired it with a pair of low heels I purchased at Nordstrom and wanded my hair for a wavy look. 

I had to film a segment with a local TV station and this made the perfect look. Never under estimate what you can find at Marshalls. It may be difficult when looking through the racks to find the right piece but with a good attitude and some time you'll find it or if you're lucky, it'll find you.

I love playing with the filters as you can tell.. lol

#SLDAY2016 was powerful! (video and pics)

Words cannot express the way I feel. I am happy, thankful, joyful and appreciative for how the day turned out. I celebrated my blogs 8th anniversary and created the first SpoiledLatina Day celebration for myself and all the ladies that I know. I love you.

July 9, 2016 Houston, Texas - Yvonne Guidry, Founder of the Houston based popular Lifestyle Blog SpoiledLatina.com, a blog that she created out of her love for life, fashion, beauty and entertainment partnered with ‘all Laundry to celebrate her 8th year blog anniversary as well as her city proclamation that she received in 2015. “SpoiledLatina Day 2016 is proud to partner with ‘all because ‘all is an iconic brand that makes the busy woman’s life easier with products that deliver powerful laundry performance and results.”

“I could have celebrated myself, but I know so many amazing women in Houston, I wanted to make it more about us and less about me.” Yvonne says, “I did this for my mother, my sister, my friends and the ladies who follow me and the ladies who follow my amazing panelist. We all deserved this.” The sold out event which aimed to celebrate women in all facets of their lives did just that. “We hold many responsibilities and ‘all the guests walked away empowered, motivated and stronger and with the desire to work hard but know that they deserve to “spoil themselves a bit more without feeling guilty about it.”

Guests panelist included: Raq-C Cordova a motivational speaker based in LA that had a popular show on Mun2’s Chiquis & Raq C, Devi Brown a TV and Radio personality, Joy Sewing the Beauty and Fashion Editor at Houston Chronicle, Zanetta Jones of the Houston Rockets, Tyzza Macias founder of Factory Glam, Yuridia Gonzalez of 104.5 Radio, Lisa Valadez Assistant Publisher at Houston Style Magazine and Athena Anesti a local influencer who is helping people live better and healthier lives.

SpoiledLatina plans on taking the concept on the road nationally and plans to be in a city near you.

Thank you to everyone who supported the event in one way or the other. all Laundry Detergent, Boost Mobile, Rigby and Pellar, Telemundo, CCM Foundation, Madre T's Sweet Creations, Whatcha Cravin, Marquis Lofts Downtown, Vickys Garden and all my family and friends who made this day come together just nicely.
