Latina Blogger Meet Up at Beso Hollywood

Last night my twin, yes I said twin, sister Christina and I went to a Latina Blogger Meet up that was organized thru Facebook. I was excited to show Chris what these events were all about. This one was really intimate so it was nice to really network and share stories with other bloggers. 

I took a break from YouTube for a week or so because I need to shake the negativity off from the last video. I could never fully quit because this is truly something that I enjoy doing. I believe being a blogger/vlogger is now a lifestyle. I can't go many places without a camera in hand to document my experience. 

I am not perfect and being in this industry there are so many different pressures and expectations that viewers/readers have for us and they are not shy to voice. I have rolls, and stretch marks, still learning to dress myself, and am still growing as a mother and just as a woman period. Negative and ignorant comments are to be expected when you put yourself out there publicly. I have learned to fake the thickness of my skin cause at the end of the day I do have feelings and sometimes I do get hurt. But with that it does push me to better myself and in the end I win.

To all the haters - eat my caca lol. 

 My outfit of the day video can be seen here

 Omg the food was ridiculous. I was full in the first hour that I was there. These are just some of the goodness I took down town. 

 Oooooo don't even get me on all the drinks they were serving, these shots were so yummy with a little raspberry surprise. I was too busy blabbing that I didn't take as many photos as I wanted.

 Quick thank you to Monique of CurvesandChaos for inviting me and stay close for a post informing you of the latina bloggers that I met :)

Not a typical outfit for me, I am usually hiding my body under my clothes. I decided to embrace my ever changing body and wear something that was out of my comfort zone. When I was shopping I ran into this top and I knew what the cut would do to my shape. I didn't give a damn and got it anyway! Haha. 

I used to be very insecure about wearing shorts, but I think thats what I have been buying more of lately. Its motivation to get it right, get it tight in the gym!

Ive had these heels in my closet for a while, and since I vowed to wear everything in my closet, I dusted these off. The clutch just made the coral in my top pop. 

 I am the most awkward model haha, I don't know what to do with myself! I wish I had a timer and auto focus cause I would rather be alone for picture taking but I had help from my friend Brigitte who did an awesome job!

I vow to keep up with my blog and my channel because it is enjoyable and is a source of stress relief for me too!

Valentine Nail Product List

Heres a few still shots of my nails. Excuse the crusty dryness around my cuticles, that is the result of cleaning up my manicure with acetone.  

Lets get into the products that I used in my video:

I started with PINK FRIDAY and NAIL ENVY by by OPI. Pink Friday is a really pretty bubble gum pink polish. Nail Envy has to be, hands down, my YOU BETTER GET IT OR YOUR NAILS SUCK product lol. Okay that was a little dramatical but thats how I roll. I totally own the strength of my nails to this nail aid. 

 For the Polka Dots I used Konad's White special polish just because its an art paint and dries really fast. Next up was the Sally Hansen Crackle in the obvious, White. My all time, never let me down, top coat: Seche Vite!

 Tools: These can get pricey if you don't shop around. Starting at the top; my "C" brush from e.l.f. this brush has been with me for a minute. I bought it at a random Mexican Market that just happened to sell their line, its been with me ever since. The dotting tool I got at a swap meet in Azusa but you can use an old ball point pen (dried up of course). Lastly, an angled art brush that I got from Sallys Beauty Supply store. You can use a cheap eyeliner brush if you can't find something like it. 

 GIVEAWAY:

Yes, I bought all of these items myself (modestly cause Im not rich haha) and I am happy and excited to kick off one of many giveaways this year. All you have to do to win is leave me a comment in the comment section of my video, and be a subscriber of my channel!
