I’m finally writing about something that has been HUGE in my life over the past 6 months! (my friends & fam know why I’m saying this LOL). I’ve been wanting to write about the Enneagram for a long time, but I often found myself distracted and I guess I just didn’t want to write about something this hard. Today I’m… View Post
Spring always arrives full of hope. The warm weather is an instant mood booster for my South American soul, so today I felt inspired to share some outfit ideas for Spring. Not only that, I’m styling the same Everlane dress in 6 different ways. If you have a similar dress in your closet you can copy some of these looks!… View Post
Anyone else obsessed with cinnamon bread around here? Today I’m going to share a healthy and super easy French Toast recipe. Plus, how to make a low calorie homemade jam under 3 minutes. It’s up to you what you decide to pair your cinnamon bread with. If I just toast it, I add cream cheese and jam. However, most of… View Post
I thought today was a good day to share how to keep a relationship strong and happy. Happy Valentine’s Day! This is one of my favorite days because we get to celebrate LOVE. And yes, I know love should be celebrated every single day (and we do), but today just feels extra special. I text all my girlfriends and nieces,… View Post
Today I’m sharing all the vitamins and supplements I’ve been taking for over two years now. I believe these are some of the best vitamins for women in 20s and 30s. They have made me feel so good. I rarely get sick and my hair, nails and skin have never looked better. It’s all a combination of working out and… View Post
Building a life for ourselves that we love sounds so easy. In theory, it should be pretty simple right? Do more of what you love and less of what you don’t. However, in reality things are a little bit more complicated than that. It requires making sacrifices, a lot of planning and discipline, determination and patience, but it is 100%… View Post
It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I started enjoying the outdoors again. I don’t know when my love for nature changed or why I ever stopped connecting with it, but I’m glad that changed. My first home was in a farm in the middle of nowhere back in Venezuela. Growing up, my dad always made sure we… View Post
I started transitioning to ethical skincare brands last year. Some, I’ve been using for 2-3 years without even knowing they were cruelty free, which made me super happy because I didn’t have to give up on products I loved. I still have some work to do in the makeup department, but when it comes to skincare, I’m proud to announce… View Post
I remember it all too well. I went from spending the Holidays with so many friends, loved ones and family to all the sudden being alone during a very cold Chicago Winter. It was rough. That’s why I wanted to share what helped me get through and how to feel less lonely during the Holidays (an in life in general… View Post
Trying to stay healthy all year round can be very hard. It’s even more intense during the Holiday season. We’ve all been there. It starts in November with Thanksgiving and after New Years, we find ourselves regretting our poor decisions about food and alcohol in January. Trust me, I do this every year. Hello Fresh really has helped me stay… View Post
Hi guys! Happy Thanksgiving week!! I’ve been meaning to hit publish on this blog post for a long time now, but for whatever reason, I haven’t gotten to sit down and finish it until now. I think the timing works perfectly though, because we all tend to be more mindful, generous and grateful during the Holiday season. Ever since I… View Post
It’s that time of the year and I could not be more excited. Thanksgiving week marks the beginning of the Holiday season and I know it can be stressful to figure out what to wear for every single occasion. That’s why I wanted to create 3 super easy to recreate and cute Thanksgiving outfits with Spanx Leggings (or any leggings… View Post
It’s the most stressful time of the year for most people. Holidays are a lot of fun and I love them, don’t get me wrong, but they can also be so incredibly draining. I’m always so exhausted after new years and feel like I have nothing left to give, that’s why this year I decided to do things differently and… View Post
You have no idea how excited I am to be sharing this post with you! I don’t think there will ever be a company that aligns so much with what I believe in, more than Dough. I’m always looking for ways on how to empower women. We are all in this together after all. Women are founding incredible businesses every… View Post
As consumers we have the power to dictate what the market offers. If we start making more informed decisions about the products we buy (from food to clothing to travel experiences), stop buying certain products that are terrible for the environment, and replace them for smaller, sustainable brands, that’s when things start to change. Even if you make one small… View Post
Ok, so… It’s pretty obvious I love sweet potatoes right? It’s just that they are so good! Sweet potatoes are one of the best carbs you can include in your diet because they are packed with vitamins and fiber and are so so delicious. They are also super versatile. I’ve shared my Sweet Potato Waffle recipe in the past, and… View Post
I was born and raised in Venezuela, so it’s safe to say that I’ve been eating arepas multiple times a day my entire life. Plus, I’ve been making them for over 18 years! Arepas have a special place in my heart, and now that I live in the US, they are still a staple in our weekly diets (my husband… View Post
I never thought I would make turkey breast every week, but after finding out how unhealthy the deli turkey breast I was buying every week is, I knew I could do it better. It’s so easy to make and SO GOOD. You guys know I make G sandwiches, bagels or wraps for lunch every day, and after trying the sandwiches… View Post

I want to start this post by making very clear that I have nothing against big weddings. I love weddings, but for us it didn’t feel right to spend all of our money in one night. That was a personal decision and I know not everyone would agree, but this is our story. I felt inspired to write about this because… View Post
Yup, he did it. And yes, I couldn’t be happier, but the reason I decided to write this post is not to share how happy we are or how he proposed. I decided to write this post to share a little bit about how I found myself after a major heartbreak and how I got to be the best version… View Post
You guys have no idea how bad I’ve been postponing to write this painful post. But, if something I’ve learned over time and after going through a hard situation, is that there’s other people going through the same and you never know how your situation can help someone else. Today, I want to share with you what happened to Toto… View Post
I’ve seen these posts all over and since I love the idea of sharing things about myself with you, I decided to take it to another level and share a few personal things that only a few friends know about. Ready? Here it goes! ONE – The unbelievable: I have never done any type of illegal drugs and I don’t think… View Post
Pearls have a very special meaning to me because they always remind me of home. Pearls are very popular in Venezuela (where I’m from and grew up in) and my mom wears them often. I’ve been exposed to beautiful pearls my entire life. I think they are classy and timeless and can upgrade any outfit in a second. You don’t… View Post
Hey guys! Happy Monday! For this week I wanted to write an entire post dedicated to the concept of happiness. I wrote about my definition of success on last week’s post and how from now on, my level of success will be directly proportional to my degree of happiness. But… What is happiness anyway? Is it money? Is it tangible? Is… View Post
It’s not easy to get dressed when it’s cold outside. I just moved to Chicago from Venezuela, so I can really say I have no idea what to wear in the Winter time. I don’t know how to look like myself and feel cute. It’s hard and way too cold to even bother sometimes, but today I’m making an extra… View Post
