How To Keep A Healthy Marriage

Moe and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in December 2017 and I often get asked "What's the secret to a healthy marriage?". The answer is have good communication and great intimacy. 

A few weeks ago, I was robe shopping (yes, that's a thing I do) and came across a brand named Flora Nikrooz. I had never heard of the brand before yet loved every single piece I found. I ended up buying more than a few pieces ( my wallet wasn't very happy about it ) but I was very pleased and so was Moe. My favorite nighttime pieces are light, airy and satin. One of the pieces I bought was this Jules Chiffon Floral Long Robe here along with the same floral print chemise. I got so many questions about the robe after posting it on instagram that I decided to just write a post about it.

I take my night time ritual very seriously. Call me crazy but after showering, wearing my night creams and nighttime wear, I like to apply perfume before making my way to bed. I know it may sound excessive but I can't sleep unless I smell good. Of course, Moe isn't mad about this habit. (Let me know if you'd like me to share my favorite fragrances).

You see, I live for this quote "When you look good, you feel good" & that applies even when you're going to bed. Don't get me wrong, I have my days where I look terrible. & That's exactly how I feel. So, I try to always look my best because it helps me feel my best. 

Today I will be sharing my top 10 favorite intimates from Flora Nikrooz.

Think of this brand as La Perla without the costly price tag. 

p.s. I love La Perla for special occasions, just not for everyday.

Star Wars | Gap

All pieces are from Gap. 
Jacket  |  light wash jeans  |  white sneakers  | black t-shirt  |  dark jeans  | black sneakers 

Growing up I was never into Star Wars. As an adult I wasn't able to get into it either. Yet, after becoming a mother and watching my kids read the books.. we're all hooked!

Hence, there's no surprise we were stoked when we found out about Gap's new collection in celebration of Star Wars 40th anniversary. The collection is for men, girls, boys & babies. Although I'm a rebel when it comes to labeling as you probably saw I wore a hat for men in my previous post & I loved it! See here.

The collection includes graphic tees, denim jackets, leggings, sweatshirts, shorts, skirts and accessories, with prices ranging from $5 to $98. Affordable so everyone can get their hands on them.

Black Never Goes Out of Style

shirt: Express  |  jacket: Urban Outfitters  |  skirt: Silver Jeans  |  hat: Gap |  boots: Dumond  |  bag: Etienne Aigner

After doing my Spring cleaning last month I was able to get rid of a lot of stuff. Everything but what I intended to get rid of in the first place. I can't seem to let go of all my dark clothing pieces. Getting rid of my black pieces would be like loosing apart of me. I'll let you in on a little secret; when I was 12-13 years old I was full blown gothic. My mother thought I was crazy, poor woman. Black everything (literally). & believe it or not I still own pieces from those times (hoarder, I know). I'm just glad I grew out of it. Now let's keep that between us. 

Adirondack Mountains | Glampinghub

I'm so excited to finally share this post with those of you searching for adventure this Spring/Summer.
 Two weeks ago I visited Wilmington New York near Adirondack Mountains for the very first time curtesy of Glamping Hub. My family booked a stay at a beautiful rustic log chalet cabin facing the Whiteface Mountains. I was also able to share the weekend with my good friends Maria and Daniel. Our objective, to relax.

Stay Motivated

New content!! Can somebody say AMEN!
Ugh. I've been stuck in a rut lately and have finally gotten out of it. Want to know how? I put in a good workout this morning. It's insane how good working out can make you feel. Mentally, physically and emotionally.

I've been traveling back-to-back since January. I went from Florida to Bahamas (6 days), then the week after to Miami (3 days), then two weeks after to Orlando (Disney) and then a few weeks after that to Mexico (3 days). I'm not even including all the weekend trips my family and I do (Kalahari, Vermont, etc). I know it isn't an excuse, there truly is NO excuse to not exercising and taking care of your body. Yet, after getting back from my latest trip to Wilmington, NY (near the Adirondack Mountains) I haven't been able to find any motivation to get back on track, none at all. Until today. See more on my insta-story.

¡¡Nuevo contenido!! ¿Puede alguien decir AMEN!
Ugh. He estado atrapada en una mala rutina últimamente y finalmente he salido de ella. ¿Quieres saber cómo? Hice un buen entrenamiento esta mañana. Es una locura lo bien que te hace sentir hacer ejercicio. Mentalmente, físicamente y emocionalmente.

He estado viajando sin parar desde Enero. Fui de Florida a Bahamas (6 días), luego la semana después a Miami (3 días), luego dos semanas después a Disney World, después a México (3 días). Ni siquiera estoy incluyendo todos los viajes de fin de semana que mi familia y yo hacemos. Sé que no es una excusa, realmente no hay excusa para no hacer ejercicio y cuidar de su cuerpo. Sin embargo, después de volver de mi último viaje a Wilmington, Nueva York (cerca de las montañas Adirondack) no e podido encontrar ninguna motivación para volver a la hacer ejercicios, ninguno en absoluto. Hasta hoy. Pueden ver mas en mi insta-story.

Caribbean Food in Brooklyn

I've been raving about Pearls ever since I discovered it last year. Hands down my most favorite Caribbean spot in Williamsburg. I wanted to refresh your memory just in case you were looking for a tropical getaway (in NY). Just stop by this hidden gem for a great island taste, island music and overall a great time. If you missed my last post talking about Pearls check it out here.

Ruchki da Nozhki / New Nail Salon in Brooklyn

Last weekend my friend Maria and I needed some 'girl time' and ended up visiting this cool new nail lounge in Brooklyn called Ruchki da Nozhki which means little hands and feet in Russian (located on: 381 Atlantic Avenue, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn). From the minute we walked-in it was relaxation mode. From the classical music playing in the background, the soothing color walls, the beautiful succulents around the entire space and the sweet staff. One thing I instantly noticed was the unique scent in the room. It smelled clean and fresh. Certainly not your typical 'nail salon' smell. This is due to each station being equipped with a build-in exhaust system that absorbs fumes, vapor, and nail dust. This was a huge plus for me since I'm always with my daughters. Apart from nails services Ruchki da Nozhki also offers waxing services. & did I mention they also use all natural products.

The first question I received when I sat down for my pedicure was 'What would you like to drink?". & from that moment on I knew it was going to be a good time. My manicure and pedicure turned out better than I expected. & the extra massage wasn't too shabby.

The service was exceptional. I look forward to going back.

Spring Break in Mexico

Best Way to Pack for a Vacation

Let's be real ladies, I really dislike packing for vacations.. & don't get me started with unpacking!

I just returned from Mexico and packing for my 3 day trip was easier than ever due to the following tricks. If you are subscribed to my Youtube channel then you have already seen this on my cruise vacation video last month. If you're not subscribed.. please do so here. 

I sometimes have OCD when it comes to organizing and just finding things when I travel. This is specially the case if I'm traveling with my family. It's 100 times easier to know what to wear and when to wear it if everything is nice and organized. One of the things I do before a vacation is visit my local pharmacy and buy empty small containers. In these containers I put shampoo, lotions, night creams, cleansers, moisturizer, etc. I love doing this because I don't have to bring along the entire container of each product which can result in overweight luggage.
