Music Video: Michel Teló, ‘Ai Se Eu Te Pego’
I’m back! Where from? Well I recently came back from two weeks in Europe. I was mainly in Germany, so my plan while in the country was to keep my ears out for songs in German. Nothing caught my attention until I heard this song, but one verse into it I realized it was in […]
A Leave-in Conditioner Worth Stalking
Have you ever found a product that works wonders for you, only to find that you can’t find it … anywhere?! For me, it was a L’Oreal Vive leave-in conditioner that I first started using two years ago in Greece. Read on to see how my love of this product sent me on a mad […]
NYX Cosmetics’s Dark Shadows The Crimson Amulet Collection
NYX Cosmetics certainly has a way with making show-stopping makeup palettes. (Last summer’s Jerseylicious palette, anyone?) Their newest creation is inspired by the only vampire film I am dying to see, Dark Shadows. Cute packaging and character bios aside, this set contains blushes, glosses, and powders you’d actually want to use. I was convinced that […]

Relatively Simple No-Boil Lasagna!
The fact that my family and I have a deep love for Italian food may seem a little odd, given that we are Puerto Rican and have never traveled outside of our island and the United States. My exposure to good pizza, lasagna, good mozzarella and other delicacies have come through the blessing of having extended family […]
Birchbox – And Why You Should Try It!
As a lover of all things beauty, I know the longing feeling of wanting to try every new product out there. I also know how expensive such a habit can be, as well as the heartbreak of an empty bank account. In order to curb my spending, I joined Birchbox. I like to explain Birchbox […]
The Bag That Got Away
How obsessed are you with this Rebecca Minkoff laser-cut cheetah print bag? Don’t worry- I’m beyond obsessed. Every single Tuesday for about two months, I scoped out my local Bloomingdale’s, each week admiring the beautiful laser cut-out detailing, strong but lightweight chain detail and sleek leather of this bag. I saved up my gift cards, […]
