Brunch At BareBurger

LOCATION
BareBurger, NYC

IMG_9617

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! This past month has been so hectic and I'm sure you've been aware of that by the lack of posts I've delivered, and I'm so sorry! I am feeing a lot more inspired and ready to put my 200% back at it. I hostly didn't realize how much I would miss writing and sharing my thoughts with you guys until I actually took some time off.

A few days ago my Mr. and I visited BareBurger for brunch. We often dine there because it's an organic and all natural restaurant that offers vegan, gluten free choices as well as his favorite food, burgers! My favorite item to order used to be the mexican salad but since then they've changed the menu and now they have this one called Guapo Chop, Yum so delicious!! This salad is filled with pico de gallo, guacamole, pickled onions, jalapeños and so much more deliciousness. For brunch they offered a different menu which I was surprised to see. I honestly didn't want to go with the same salad anyways, even though I live for it. I decided to indulge on chicken and waffles! I know, I simply couldn't help myself when I saw it on the menu! I absolutely loved this order so much that I asked the manager to add it on the regular menu. He laughed and said lets see. I mean, theres a possibility right? 

I've always been a lover of all things savory, sweet and spicy and this dish has it all. Waffles, chicken, fruits, maple sirup, sweet potato fries and some type of banana fritters. I am telling you, it's heavy but isn't that what brunch is supposed to be? My order came with a drink and I chose a refreshing mimosa, of course. 
Moe (my Mr.) wasn't a fan of the whole mix which made me very happy, you know, more for me:)

Dominican Republic + JetBlue Giveaway!!


Growing up as a Dominican child meant visiting the Dominican republic annually, no exceptions. As I got older and my family expanded it became more difficult to continue this tradition. While growing up it was extremely important to attend our family reunions. Whether it meant traveling miles and miles to be with the ones I love during the Holidays or special occasions. To be quite honest, I've always looked for any reason to visit this beautiful country. There's something about the air, the food, the people and the culture that you cannot get anywhere else. I was born and raised in New York City. My parents are from the Dominican Republic and I have to say, DR will always feel like my home away from home.

I'm happy to partner with JetBlue for a very special campaign in which will allow you to win 2 round trip vouchers to any JetBlue destination, excludes Mint seats. How incredible is that?!! Please follow directions on Rafflecopter below to learn more details.
____________________________________
Creciendo como una niña dominicana significaba visitar la República Dominicana cada año, sin excepciones. Medida que fui creciendo y mi familia se expandío se hizo más difícil continuar esta tradición. Mientras crecía, era extremadamente importante asistir a nuestras reuniones familiares. Ya sea que significaba viajar kilómetros y kilómetros para estar con los que amo durante los días de fiesta u ocasiones especiales. Para ser honesta, yo siempre he buscado alguna razón para visitar el hermoso país que es la Republica Dominicana. Hay algo en el aire, la comida, la gente y la cultura que no se puede conseguir en ningún otro lugar. Nací y crecí en la ciudad de Nueva York. Mis padres son de la República Dominicana y tengo que decir, República Dominicana siempre será el hogar lejos de casa. Estoy feliz de colaborar con JetBlue para una campaña muy especial en la que le permitirá ganar 2 cupones de ida y vuelta a cualquier destino de JetBlue, excluye asientos Mint. Increíble no? !! Por favor, siga las instrucciones en Rafflecopter a continuación para obtener más detalles.

Denim + Heels and a Sweater

IMG_0846

Hey guys! Thank you so much for coming back to the blog:)
I cannot believe it's already wednesday December 10th! Only 5 more days till my birthday! I'm a little upset at my mom because she has decided to leave the country one day before my birthday and she will also be spending Christmas without us:( This will be one of the first times in a long time that my entire family spends the holidays elsewhere. but.. on the bright side, I won't have to get a few folks gifts:)

I know you might be wondering what's in my cup? It's green tea. I'm an unsweetened green tea addict.

Since it's midweek I decided to share a pretty casual look (in my book). Denim, heels and a sweater. Can't go wrong with that.

Quote Of The Day
Don't just count your years, make your years count. -George Meredith

Hola chicos! Muchas gracias por volver al blog :)
No puedo creer que ya es Miércoles 10 de diciembre! Sólo 5 días más hasta mi cumpleaños! Estoy un poco molesta con mi mamá porque ella ha decidido salir del país un día antes de mi cumpleaños y ella también pasara las Navidades sin vosotros. Esta será una de las primeras veces en mucho tiempo que toda mi familia se va de vacaciones durante la Navidad. Pero por el lado bueno, no voy a tener que comprarle regalos a muchas personas :)

Ya que es a mitad de semana he decidido compartir un look casual. Pantalones jeans, tacones y un suéter. Disfrutenlo.

Christmas Tree Picking With Family | Lexus

IMG_1142

Over the weekend my family and visited Battenfeld's Christmas tree farm in Hudson Valley in collaboration with Lexus. This was my family's first time cutting our own tree and getting the real, full Christmas experience. For this collaboration Lexus informed me that they would be making a donation to the Holiday Express charity based on the height of the tree we picked, so I made sure to get a big one:)  

We hit the road around 1pm which was pretty late due to a bit of traffic getting out of the city. Our original plan was to leave the city at 9am to catch a few awesome entertainers at the tree farm such as Santa Clause, bagpipers and horse-drawn wagon rides. We were certain we missed all the fun but were still pretty enthusiastic about cutting down our own tree. 
___________________________
El fin de semana pasado mi familia y yo visitamos la granja de árboles de Navidad de Battenfeld en Hudson Valley. Esta fue la primera vez que mi familia y yo cortamos nuestro propio árbol y obtenimos la experiencia real de Navidad.

Nos fuimos de camino a las 1pm, bastante tarde debido a un poco de tráfico para salir de la ciudad. Nuestro plan original era salir de la ciudad a las 9am para ver unos artistas impresionantes en la granja de árboles como Papá Noel, gaiteros y paseos en carro de caballos. Estábamos seguros de que nos perdimos toda la diversión, pero aún estábamos bastante entusiasmados por cortar nuestro propio árbol.

Gift Giving with BULOVA Watches

So thankful for another beautiful Monday! 

This past weekend was one of the rare ones. I had the opportunity to spend time with my mother and sister as well as with my adoptive family (my husband's family). It reminded me about the beauty of the Holidays. Which brings me to todays post, gift giving.

Estoy tan agradecida por otro hermoso Lunes!
Este fin de semana pasado fue uno de los raros. Tuve la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con mi madre y mi hermana, así como con mi familia adoptiva (la familia de mi marido). Me recordó de la belleza de los días de fiesta que consisten en pasar tiempo con la family y compartir. Lo que me lleva al puesto de hoy, regalar regalos.

Currently Loving | Rituals

IMG_9556

I am a fragrance junkie!! I recently came across the brand Rituals and was utterly obsessed. The packaging is beautiful and (of course) high quality. I received two products, The body cream and shower oil. The body cream has a sensual fragrance yet very luxurious and leaves your skin silky soft. The soothing shower oil transforms into a soft foam on contact with water, leaving your skin wonderfully soft. The indian rose and sweet almond oil scent gives a relaxing effect for the body and mind. You can purchase these exquisite products on Rituals official website as well as in Barneys New York

Rituals also has great gift options for this Holiday season. With every order of $70 or more you'll receive free fragrance sticks (worth $35). Offer ends 12/27/14

Happy Friday!

Soy un adicta a la fragancia!! Recientemente me encontré con la marca Rituals y ahora estoy totalmente obsesionada. El paquete es hermoso y (por supuesto) de alta calidad. Recibí dos productos, la crema para el cuerpo y el aceite de ducha. La crema para el cuerpo tiene una fragancia sensual pero muy lujoso y deja la piel suave y sedosa. El aceite de ducha relajante se transforma en una espuma suave en contacto con el agua, dejando la piel maravillosamente suave. El aroma de rosa indio da un efecto relajante para el cuerpo y la mente. Usted puede comprar estos productos en la pagina web oficial de Rituals, así como en Barneys New York.

Con cada pedido de $70 o más usted recibirá palos de perfumes gratis (un valor de $35). La oferta termina el 12/27/14

Feliz Viernes!
