Houston we have a Drybar!
So excited to find out that Houston will be launching a Drybar  on September 13, 2013 in Uptown Park. 

With Drybar's in New York, LA, San Francisco, Atlanta and Dallas it's about time the 4th largest city in the U.S gets its very own. 




Founded by longtime stylist Alli Webb, Drybar has become a regular stop for celebs such as Cindy Crawford, Emma Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Zooey Deschanel, Rose McGowan, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Garner, Maria Shriver and Nicky Hilton.


Drybar Houston will provide flawless blowouts at a flat price of $35, regardless of hair length or thickness (wash included!). 


Drybar’s style list reads like your favorite cocktail menu:

the Cosmopolitan (lots of loosecurls), the Straight Up (simple and straight), the Southern Comfort (big hair with volume), the Mai Tai (messy and beachy), the Manhattan (sleek and smooth) and for the little ladies, the Shirley Temple at $24.



At the core of that experience is Drybar’s top-of-the-line customer service and obsessive attention to every last detail. The Houston shop, located at 1141-3 Uptown Park Blvd., will feature Drybar’s signature look, including custom Italian chairs, tufted fabric walls, marble bar with built-in iPhone dockings stations, and flat screens quietly featuring your favorite chick flicks.


Drybar recently added some heavy hitters to its board with the addition of Paul Pressler, former CEO of Gap Inc. and a president at The Walt Disney Company, and Janet Gurwitch, founder and former CEO of Laura Mercier Cosmetics and an executive vice president at Neiman Marcus. “Drybar has created an incredibly cool and innovative experience for the consumer,” Gurwitch said. “I am excited to be part of this impressive team to further expand the Drybar brand.”

My appointment is set and I can't wait!

Love "El Chavo" *giveaway

So happy that I get to share one of my favorite childhood tv shows with my 3 year old son!  El Chavo del Ocho is a Mexican iconic tv show, that has found its way into the hearts of many young children in the U.S. El Chavo is now an english cartoon that our children can watch, learn and connect with their latin heritage. I know my son is loving it!

I remember going to my grandmothers house in Mexico and watching El Chapolin Colorado and eating pan dulce and drinking a cold coca cola. Those were the good old days,  I wish I had a picture of myself dressed as "La Chilindrina" for Halloween one year, I later regretted it, because for about a year or 2 after that my family would call me, La Chilindrina. lol  

giveaway time!  

Share your childhood El Chavo memory and you could win "The El Chavo prize pack"
plus there are other ways to win as well :)

Naya Rivera ft. Big Sean (new music)

Naya Rivera ft. Big Sean (new music)

I love Naya Rivera and Big Sean's relationship! The Glee actress has done what most Latina's are known to do, win a man's heart with her latin beauty, talent and recently he admitted that she cooks for him and does things for him that he has never experienced. Big Sean has been name dropping her a lot lately and now here she is with her new single ft. her man Big Sean. 


The twosome was spotted in LA yesterday leaving the Power 106 studios where they both debuted her single on the air... 




so do you like it? I think it's catchy and with Big Sean's success and not to mention hers, it surely will be a hit in a few weeks.

I am Team Hennessy Houston!

Breaking News:  I have been given the honor to be the "Brand Ambassador" for Hennessy, USA representing the urban Latino in Houston, TX. It is a huge deal not only to me but for Latinos in Houston because Houston was strategically chosen as 1 of 4 cities to have ambassadors/influencers who encompass Team Hennessy Latino.  We are night time influencers with day time business values. We make things happen and you will soon see.

I am so excited for what this means for Houston as a whole!

As part of my training for Team Hennessy I took a trip to NY and the experience was amazing! Sitting in the conference room, with the Hennessy staff and the training, the conversation the commodore between everyone was really special.


The team had a friendly drink mix challenge and I think Houston would be proud to know that I was the winner, well it was a tie between Rudy from TH Miami and mine but we all know I won. lol 


Be part of the ultimate experience simply by following Hennessy and sign up to be notified about all the happenings in our area. If your in LA, NY or Miami follow my Team Hennessy Latino family as well...

 What is your #WildRabbit? What motivates you to chase that next level of success? #NeverStopNeverSettle

Vacation at The Jamaica Inn- Ocho Rios- Heaven

Saturday, July 20, 2013

Vacation at The Jamaica Inn- Ocho Rios- Heaven

I had the most relaxing time ever during my vacation at The Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. While planning our vacation, we knew we didn't want a huge resort overflowing with hotel guests, and since this was our first vacation without our 3 year old, we didn't really want to be around any children. I know kinda posh but hey, that's how I do. lol I wanted a beach and we decided on Jamaica as our destination for the week.

Short flight from Houston to Montego Bay, a private car drove us to the hotel which was about an hour 1/2 of well worth the wait and time. Upon arrival to The Jamaica Inn, we were greeted by Kingsley a lovely gentlemen that graciously took care of our bags and assisted us to our room. (Kingsley has worked at The Jamaica Inn for over 6 years) oh the room, was glorious. I posted a video on my instagram page of how fabulous my room was and the view. Our first meal, was served in our room and it was amaze. I knew from that point on, that we would love it. A way to a woman's heart besides shoes, is also her tummy. lol

Jason was awesome!
We stayed for 5 days, 4 nights in a premier veranda suite overlooking the ocean. I loved that the rooms didn't have a television making it the most wonderful, relaxing, romantic and favorite vacation thus far.  We laid on the beach for hours, went on boat rides, couples massages, dinner in our room, breakfast in our room balcony. We met one of the owners, who owns the hotel with his brother. His father bought the hotel in the 1950's after the war and have kept it in the family since. As a matter of fact his daughter is going to hotel school, so that she will one day manage the property. He stays and lives on the property It was amazing! Truly a 5 star resort.

 sunset view from the balcony
 The friendly staff makes it so easy for you to love and call The Jamaica Inn your home away from home. The property has no more than 50 rooms including private cottages that are to die for with spectacular views of the ocean. I had the BEST Calamari, the BEST Curry Chicken, I crave the fruit smoothie that is complimentary as your first beach drink every morning on the beach. The breeze, the sun, the view. If your lucky enough to be there on a Tuesday, the staff has a manager hour with complimentary drinks and an amazing buffet and dinner on the beach.


 Before I forget, it was mentioned that Kelly Rowland was supposed to get married here and later called off the wedding and returned with friends and family on a getaway.
Enjoy the pictures and be sure to visit Heaven on Earth at the Jamaica Inn.
It's a little pricey and it is not an all inclusive, but as mentioned, good food, good service, and you can't beat it!
