Selfie

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

You ever wake up, pass your full length mirror and surprise yourself by what you see? I don't mean a big pimple or an unexpected scar but an elated revelation. In a world where taking self- portraits with our smart phones is instantaneous and prominent, it's quite easy to get lost in the world of narcissistic joy... or harmless trend? However you see it, I am actually quite intimidated by the thought of it! It isn't that I'm doubtful about my appearance, it's the realization that once something is posted online, it is out there for public elation.

Links à la Mode: September 25th

It's always an honor to be featured in Independent Fashion Blogger's weekly link roundups. I appreciate it even more because it's one of my more personal articles that was selected, included with some really great links. This week it's all about diving head first into the Fall season!

Take Art With You

You may have already seen and heard about my collaboration with Casetify, if not then what are you waiting for?! I have a collection of original artwork to be printed on cases for your phone or tablet... iPhones, Androids, HTCs, iPads and even a Blackberry! I recently received one of my custom cases, it's much better than I expected it to be! 

Hispanic Heritage Month

If you're close enough to know me, then you may know that I'm a Latina. With so much going on in the world right, it's nice to know that there is a month dedicated to the people of the Spanish- speaking kind. From September 15th to October 15th, hispanics in the USA rejoice and observe in celebration of what makes us proud to be a part of such a wonderful community. 

Beauty Bit, Put Your Best Lip Forward

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

If there's anything I love more than shopping for new Fall footwear its definitely new lipsticks! A new lip shade can be your best accessory, and provide you with new found confidence. A bold new lip color may be all you need to boost your morale this upcoming season! When it comes to wearing daring lip colors, I tend to keep the rest of the makeup very minimal, that way the lips do all the talking! This Fall season, all of the latest shades will make you forget about the hot pink lipstick you loved all summer long. Why not have fun with your makeup, it's only temporary!
