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 (and it was also my first Winter there). It was rough. That’s why I wanted to share what helped me get through and how to feel less lonely… 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
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
This post was sponsored by BUSH’S® Savory Beans as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Just to be clear, this post might be sponsored, but these are the actual beans we use every week! I love cooking black beans from scratch, but it’s a lot of work and… View Post
I can’t decide if I’m a pancake or a waffle person, but something I know for sure…. These pancakes are heaven!! And healthy, and delicious and have great texture. If you are into bananas and are a waffle person, make sure to also check out my ‘Healthy Banana Waffle recipe’. This recipe serves 2. I made it like this because… View Post
Hey loves! It’s finally here. A healthy way to each french toasts!!! You guys have no idea how much I love French Toasts in general, and even though, I’m not going to say this healthy way tastes the same as the kind you’ll only eat on a cheat meal, it does taste amazing!

Hello my loves! Happy Friday!! I’m super excited to share with you another favorite recipe for breakfast; Sweet Potato Waffles. I love these as much as the banana waffles and I have them for breakfast a couple times a week. There’s one or two days of the week where I make a bunch of waffles and freeze them. They can… View Post

You can make these waffles on the weekends, every morning if you have the chance or… 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
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
