Spoiled Latina Goals Giveaway

Cutest outfit from Pretty Little Thing

To end the year on a grand note, let's do a goal giveaway!!

Part of my main goal for 2019 personally is to get back in shape. With so many ways to lose weight, I am going to stick the the natural way of kicking my own ass and making it happen. I, of course like to look good while I work out, something about looking good makes me feel good if I look good. lol Weird I know, but honestly, if we look bumby we will feel bumby. I purchased a few items on the Pretty Little Thing website - their activewear is super cute and not only can I wear them to work out but also can use them just wear on a normal day - its called athleisure, and I'm all about that life!

 Ok, back to the giveaway - I want to help you get your 2019 off to a great start, with some basic but necessary essentials that I love and I know will help with boosting your confidence and feel empowered after using one of these items. 

I've gathered a few of my favorite items to go along with each goal and a brief little explanation as to why. Trust me, they will be a great addition to the new year.

• Cafe Bustelo - Cafe con Leche instant coffee packs. Easy, convenient and delicious!!
• Spoiled Latina coffee mug - this to go along with the Cafe Bustelo, it'll help boost our day and get us going and moving towards our goals. 
• Crest White Strips and Crest 3D Whitening Therapy because your smile is everything and after drinking coffee these will totally help. I swear by the strips, life changer!
• Body Fantasies - body spray in Hearts and Daisies scent - my favorite scent in the collection. Throw it in your purse, leave it in the car or simply splash it on right after the shower and leave it in your powder room to use next time. 
• Beauty Blender - I'm all about a flawless face and I live with my Beauty Blender. Anyone who knows me knows - BB are life.  To help you achieve that flawless look with makeup, Beauty Blender to the rescue! Beauty Blender all about face kit and blotterazzi pro.

Moments in San Antonio - video

The month of December has gone so fast, just as 2018 has. What an amazing year, and what an amazing way to start the last month of the year by heading on a mini road trip to San Antonio for a Holiday Influencer event hosted by Marisa of Mexi Moments with a special guest... Me! 

This weekend was already a busy weekend for me, I had a pop up shop the day before the San Antonio drive and my brunch and the Chevrolet Colorado that was loaned to me for the week was such a BIG help! I drive a small car in real life so when I had the opportunity to drive a pick up, I jumped on the opp. I was able to transport my Jefita Bonita merch to and from all my events this weekend. The weather wasn't pleasant (all my vehicle pics were bad) so having the extra back seat space helped so that my items didn't get water damage.

 Thank you, Chevrolet for supporting Latina Entrepreneurs!  

Marisa and I met a few years back. She was a new blogger and started a series of highlighting women who inspired her and she would share it on her blog.  She reached out to me and asked to interview me and me being me, I said yes. Fast forward to a year or so later, meeting her at Selena Mac launch. I was covering the event and she was in line. She actually had a good spot considering the 15k or so people there. We always kept in touch, most recently she attended SLDAY 2018 and was inspired to do something for in San Antonio and introduce me to the fab ladies of San Antonio. That's exactly how this event happened. I am thankful to meet followers who turn into people I can count on to help in anyway to build our brands. 

San Antonio was a great vibe. I sat and chatted with strangers who were so nice, shared a piece of me with each of them and they shared stories with me as well about our goals, business questions were answered and advice was given. We all have one thing in common, we all want to succeed. It was beautiful seeing a room full of Latina Entrepreneurs and future Latina Leaders of San Antonio. 

Take a look at the video, thanks to Sway Rodriguez for filming!

Latina Leaders of Houston Dinner

I spent the 4th evening of December with a fabulous group of Latina Leaders in Houston. Every day that I hop onto social media, I watch them work and continue to expand their craft and their own brand and I am inspired by them. They each do their own thing, each an entrepreneur and I was blessed to partner with Hennessy and recognize them in my first Latina Leaders Dinner party.

As Latina women of Houston, each of our lives is different. We are all either married with kids, single with kids, single and/or a in between but we are all have one thing in common, we are hustlers! Latna Hustlers of Houston, on a mission to be great, stuck in traffic most of the times but getting things done on our own or with a small team because at the end of the day we are small business owners on our way to building our empires. In 2017, Latinos in Houston represented nearly 40 percent of the region‚ small business owners, a number that has doubled in less than five years. We are the future!

Cucos, Cafecito & Charity

On December 1st, I hosted Cucos, Cafecito & Charity
 a brunch I put together with Los Cucos and Cafe Bustelo to raise toys for a local organization. The brunch was held at Los Cucos Mexican restaurant in Cypress - where they featured their famous Mexican brunch. The brunch has everything from Huevos Rancheros, omelettes, waffles, enchiladas, street tacos, flautas, menudo, pozole plus aguas frescas and so much more. I literally just got hungry!!

Before, during and after the ambitious ladies and I chatted about life and laughed, played loteria and networked; it was a great morning together.

Wishing everyone an amazing December!

Los Cucos, hosts a Mexican brunch at 6 locations in Houston and one into Vegas on every Sunday of the month. Make sure to grab a concha and cafecito with your breakfast - and if you haven't tried Cafe Bustelo, do it..it's so good!

Thanks for coming out guys!

Autumn wishes with Crest

El día de acción de gracias siempre ha sido un día muy divertido con mi familia y acompañado de rica comida. Me imagino que fue así en sus casas también, lleno de muchos platillos deliciosos y varios postres. Definitivamente con suficiente comida para el resto de la semana. Este año decidí tratar de hacer una receta de pudín de plátano que sé que a mi familia le encantaría. Las sobras son siempre ricas pero al mismo tiempo tenemos que ser conscientes sobre nuestra higiene bucal y tratar de asegurarnos que no se conviertan en un problema entre tus dientes. 

Estoy colaborando con Crest para compartir con ustedes por qué Crest Pro-Health es mi crema dental favorita para fortalecer encías y crear dientes fuertes, con beneficios para proteger las áreas que los dentistas más revisan. Así que asegúrense de abastecerse de Crest Pro-Health utilizando el cupón de $2 de descuento en Target . El cupón se puede encontrar en los periódicos en todo el país el domingo 25 de Noviembre.

Thanksgiving has always been a fun day with family accompanied by a whole a lot of food. As you can imagine, I’m sure it was this this way at your house too: way too much food and a bunch of different desserts, which means lots of leftovers for a week. This year I attempted my shot at a Banana Pudding recipe that I know my family would love. Having leftovers is great. They taste yummy, but we have to make sure we are keeping our hygiene in check because leftovers can get stuck in your teeth and that’s a not a good look. 

I’ve teamed up with Crest to share why Crest Pro-Health is my favorite extra strength toothpaste that helps you advance to healthier gums and stronger teeth with benefits that help protect against areas dentists check most. So make sure to stock up on Crest Pro-Health using the $2 coupon at your local Target store. The coupon can be found in Sunday newspapers nationwide on 11.25.

New music - Leslie Grace

Three-time Latin GRAMMY nominee, LESLIE GRACE, fully embraces the new era of social activism with the release of her new single and music video, "LUNES A JUEVES" FT. FARINA. A true "girl power" anthem for our time, the track is available today for streaming and download on all digital music platforms. The video is available on her official YouTube channel.

Beyond its inspiring, hard-hitting message, "Lunes A Jueves" is a playful song that showcases Leslie’s developing artistry and her ongoing "GraceVolution" as a multi-talented singer, songwriter and performer. The track features her and Farina’s vocals riding a contagious beat, with a fiery fusion of urban sounds and Leslie’s trademark tropical flair.

The theme driving the song comes to compelling life in the colorful video Leslie recently shot in Medellin, Colombia. Reflecting today’s rise of female equality movements, the song and video show Leslie and Farina standing their ground and choosing to be independent women, rather than taking less than they deserve from their men. During the pivotal dance floor scene, Leslie also takes the opportunity to showcase her classic sultry moves.

The release of "Lunes A Jueves" caps another incredible year for Leslie. In 2018, the artist received platinum certifications for her single, "Duro Y Suave"; co-hosted the Latin American Music Awards, where she also performed "Díganle," her latest collaboration with Becky G and CNCO; and enjoyed triumphant tours throughout Latin America and Spain, where she performed for thousands of her fans.
