I had the opportunity to get some products to throw a RSVParty with the website vocalpoint.com

I was provided with all the tools for the party such as free sample products, game ideas, coupons to give out to my guests and so more. I was also given a gift card to buy party supplies.

Since I was going to be busy being the host, I assigned one of my guests to take all the pictures and unfortunately she lost her phone before being able to send me the pictures, so I only have the picture of the set up for the party with the amazing products provided to me.

I can tell you we had so much fun with the Icebreaker game and my guest enjoyed the food and the presentation about the products.

Now, as the products goes, I have to say that my husband loves his razor. He usually does not like disposable razors because they irritate his skin, but with this razor, he has been irritation free and he has been able to reduce the shaving frequency. Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor is highly recommended by my husband and also the moisturizer and Shave prep as well.

I tried the Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner and I love the smell and how shinny my hair is looking these days.

We have always been fans of Crest toothpaste and toothbrushes. Our mouth feels really fresh after using them.

A new product for me was the Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm Luxury touched by Nature. I love how my lips feel. Now that is hot outside my lips are hydrated without the slushy feeling on them.




Disclaimer: I was provided with the products free to host a party, but all opinions are my own (and my husbands)

Well, life has been so busy and difficult lately. Lots of things happening and maybe not the right things to share with a lot of people until things are resolved.
I missed my post for that same reason last week and I will be just kind of stopping by to say hello this week. Not only all the things going on right now, but the internet at the house has been in and out (more out...) so it has been difficult to be online. The phone is ok but it is not the same to visit site and leave comments, etc.

I have been trying to eat healthy and keep active. I hope things take a turn for the best and I can go back to a normal life... (is there is such a thing...LOL)

Leaving next Sunday on my vacation with my son to Hawaii, I really need it.

Ready for combat!

Today, July 20th, we are celebrating the  202nd anniversary of our nation’s independence.

Hoy el 20 de Julio estamos celebrando 202 años de la Independencia de Colombia.

En esta época donde la obesidad se ha convertido en una epidemia, es muy importante tener opciones saludables para poder disfrutar con toda la familia.

Tuve la oportunidad de reunirme con unas fabulosas blogueras de Los Ángeles para aprender sobre las medidas que el restaurante McDonald’s está tomando para seguir las recomendaciones alimenticias de choosemyplate.gov el nuevo sistema de nutrición recomendado por la Primera Dama Michelle Obama.

La nutricionista Mónica Montes nos conto sobre las nuevas iniciativas y el valor nutricional de los diferente menús disponibles en McDonald’s, como por ejemplo la nueva avena con nueces, bananas y arándanos, con solo 290 calorías que sería una comida ideal para empezar el día con un desayuno nutritivo.

Como en McDonald’s las comidas son preparadas al ordenar, eso da la posibilidad de cambiar y personalizar las ordenes para el gusto personal y también para las necesidades nutricionales.

Ok so this week and I late posting and I have a very short post. My apologies.

My family is back and with my son the germs are back. He is sick and now I am not feeling that well.
I was able to finish the #2weekchallenge and I am glad I did

Now it is time to reorganize my life and schedule. Do not have as much time on the computer as I had before to post, and it is really hard doing it from my phone. I guess I have to figure out how to schedule all things going on.  Creating other posts is easy because I can write them in advance and then post, but with this, i have to tell you about my actual events, so it makes it difficult, but I will figure it out. (it is hard when I am at work 8 hours too)

I will continue walking and drinking my water...

Strawberry popsicles

Pour the strawberries and milk into a food processor or blender. Add plain unsweetened yogurt and mix until it is a creamy pink color.  Then add honey, and blend again.

Pour into molds and freeze. I storage them individually in Ziploc bags, so my son can enjoy them later.

This recipe can be used with any soft summer fruit

VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL

Paletas de Fresa
