Miami Recap

LOCATION

I had the honor of working with Pantene as the official Social Media Ambassador for the Cosmo en Español's 8th Annual Summer Splash Event in Miami last week. The event was held at the SLS Hotel in Collins Avenue which was the same hotel I stood in. I attended the show and got to be backstage snapping behind-the-scene photos and instagraming away (see here). I was one of the first to get glam'd by the Pantene team. The stylist made a trendy Summer hairstyle 'the fishtail braid' on me and on all the models as well. They walked the runway and looked like they were walking on the beach. I mean the hair, makeup and swimsuits (by Maya Swim and Eberjey) were perfect!

Tuve el honor de trabajar con Pantene como embajadora oficial de medios de comunicación sociales para el Cosmo en Español 8th Annual Summer Splash Event en Miami, la semana pasada. Asistí a la serie y llegué a tomar fotos de detrás de la escena del evento. El estilista me hizo un look en pelo de verano que esta muy de moda 'la trenza cola de pez'. Este fue el mismo look que todas las modelos llevaban. Salieron a la pista y parecían que estaban caminando en la playa. Quiero decir, el cabello, el maquillaje y los trajes de baño (por Maya Nado y Eberjey) eran perfectos!

Once my hair and makeup was done, I had the pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth Gutierrez and Danilo Carrera alongside two lovely ladies Daniela Ramirez and Kelly Saks. We chatted about beauty secrets, style icons and lifestyle. 


Here's an inside look at how the interview went. 


 How do you maintain a radiant looking skin and protect your face from the sun?

Elizabeth: "I drink lots of water. Get facials as often as I can. I use lots of SPF and I try to stay away from the sun".

& guess who her style icon is? Victoria Beckham! She reveals that she loves European style and enjoys adding statement pieces to simple outfits. 


Elizabeth also revealed to us that she cannot live without mascara and I think we can all agree with her. I asked her about her favorite workouts and her eating habits. She said; she does't limit herself, she eats in moderation, enjoys doing Pilates and loves looking good for herself. 


 It was so nice speaking with such a successful woman/mother on her beauty secrets.

Tuve el placer de entrevistar a Elizabeth Gutiérrez y Danilo Carrera junto a dos bellas damas Daniela Ramírez y Kelly Saks. Charlamos sobre secretos de belleza, iconos de estilo y forma de vida.


Aquí está un poco de la entrevista. ¿Cómo te mantienes piel radiante?

Elizabeth: "Yo bebo mucha agua, me ago faciales a menudo, uso un montón de SPF y trato de mantenerme alejada del sol."
Ella revela que ama el estilo europeo (como Victoria Beckham) y también nos reveló que ella no puede vivir sin mascara. Le pregunté acerca de sus entrenamientos favoritos y sus hábitos alimenticios. Ella dijo; que no se limita a sí misma, ella come con moderación, disfruta haciendo Pilates y le encanta lucir bien para sí misma. Fue muy agradable hablar con una mujer exitosa e madre acerca de sus secretos de belleza.

You guys know me, I get very technical when it comes to food. This was my last meal in Miami and it is one that I will remember forever. This was the grilled hanger steak with fried organic free range egg, potatoes and Valdeón cheese sauce. This is was served as brunch in the SLS Hotel. For those foodies who want to know how this tasted; the cheese sauce was salty and paired perfectly with the lightly seasoned steak. Once you break into those two fried eggs, you'll find the creamy yolk oozing on the grilled steak. & even when you've hit your breaking point, when you can't take another bite, trust me, you won't stop until you've eaten everything on this plate. This was a perfect meal to start a long traveling day.

Uno de mis platos favoritos en el Hotel SLS; Lomo de Buey con Huevo frito y patatas al Valdeón

This is what I had the minute I stepped in the Hotel; The SLS burger. This bad boy had blue cheese, avocado/tomato/onion/lettuce, the most succulent and tender ground beef with an egg on top served on a brioche bun. & if that's not enough, they also bring you a caesar salad with an anchovy on top.

Esto fue lo que comi en el momento que entre en el hotel; La hamburguesa SLS. Este 'chico malo' tenía queso azul, aguacate / tomate / cebolla / lechuga, la carne de res molida más suculento y tierno con un huevo en la parte superior servida en un pan de brioche. Y si eso no es suficiente,  también le traen una ensalada césar con una anchoa en la parte superior.

Now..... the very controversial dessert that had my instagrammers flipping!! (see here)

on my photo I said;


"I've eaten many desserts in my lifetime but never one this perfectly executed. This is a deconstructed key lime pie. Words cannot describe how heavenly this was. #bestieverhad | El mejor postre que e comido en mi vida! #nytmonthego"

There were so many different components in this dish that simply work well together. The crumbs, some type of soury-limyish foam, creamy lime custard and golden meringue. Creamy, limy, sweet but not overly sweet, and beautiful. I would travel to Miami just to have this dessert, believe me.
________________

Aqui esta la foto que tenían a todos mis seguidores en instagram babiando. 

en mi foto me dije;

"He comido muchos postres en mi vida, pero nunca uno perfectamente ejecutado. Esta es una tarta de limón reconstruida. Las palabras no pueden describir lo celestial que es! El Mejor postre que e Comido en mi vida"

Había tantos componentes diferentes en este plato que simplemente trabajan bien juntos. Las migas, algún tipo espuma, crema de limón y merengue dorado. Cremoso, calizo, dulce pero no demasiado dulce, y hermoso. Me gustaría viajar a Miami sólo para tener este postre, créanme.
