March 21, 2013 by Maria

It's March!! The weather is almost perfect. Our birds are chirping and my flowers are starting to bloom. Aside from weather being fabulous, it also means that basketball is nearing it's end and baseball season has begun. March means our weekends will be filled with basketball tournaments and soon, the College Championship Game. Since my husband & son have been glued to the basketball games on television, I'm in the kitchen finding fun snacks to have in between quarters. I head to Continue Reading

Justin Timberlake ‘The 20/20 Experience’ CD #JT2020 #Cbias

March 20, 2013 by Maria

Ever since I was little I wanted to be a singer. I had big dreams of singing on a large stage somewhere. I could see my name in bright lights! I just needed... my big break. But when I was 10 years old, I realized I had no talent whatsoever! I'm not kidding, I'm a horrible singer. But my lack of talent didn't keep me away from my love for music. Over the years I have been to dozens of live concerts and have bought numerous Cd's. Yes, I still buy Cd's. One of my all-time musical crushes is Continue Reading

I #LuvSoFab!! Video Entry For Sponsorship to #SoFabCon #Cbias

March 12, 2013 by Maria

I started my blog over 4 years ago with the intent of creating an online journal. While writing and documenting my adventures in life, I realized a few things in the process. 1. People were reading. 2. I was enjoying the process. 3. I started to find the connection between myself as the blogger and my readers. That connection is something that many have difficulty understand & conveying to their readers. Sometimes a Brand will reach out and ask: What makes me different? How do I stand Continue Reading

What Makes You 2x’s Stronger? #AngelSoft

March 4, 2013 by Maria

Let's face it, being a woman is hard. We make tough important choices every day of every year. The choice to go back to work was a very challenging decision my family & I made. I remember going back to work full-time after being a SAHM for several years. I was excited about the new adventure ahead for me, but very sad at the same time. I would miss my kids. I needed them, just like they needed me. I wanted to be home, but the economy was making a sudden downturn and I was afraid & worried about Continue Reading

The Perfect Combo: Merci Chocolates & An Award Winning Giveaway #MerciAwards

February 23, 2013 by Maria

Secret: I am NOT into television programming. I watch NO daytime television & very little prime-time television. I'm a Movie person! I love movies whether they are current or some of our best classics like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and of course my all time favorite love story: An Affair to Remember. So it is no surprise that I am anxiously waiting for the Academy Awards to take place this weekend. But to me, it's not just about the movies, it's all about the winner's acceptance speech. I Continue Reading

Entertaining With a Purpose: Macy’s Heart of Haiti Collection

February 21, 2013 by Maria

I was 11 years old when I made my first Thanksgiving Dinner. Strange for an 11 year old? Not for me. I have always loved to entertain, even as an eleven year old. So it is no shock that home decor and creating new recipes is on my list of hobbies. I am no stranger to Macy's Department Store. Recently you may have noticed my posts surrounding Macy's Culinary Council Cooking Demo Events in the New Orleans area. Every time I get a new email letting me know of an upcoming event, I am instantly on Continue Reading
