Disney’s BRAVE Movie Review


Recently my tween and I were invited to see BRAVE, the newest film by Disney and Pixar. The movie rated PG started off with a heart warming scene between the mother, Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson), and Princess Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald). The scene quickly changes when Merida walks off into the [...]


Recently, I got a sneek peak at the latest ponytail holders, thanks to CVS/Pharmacy. Ponytails have changed so much over the years. They are no longer considered a quick, style for harried moms.

Several months ago, I decided this summer we would spend more time together, bonding as a family. The decision came about as I contemplated my teen's summer job and his move to college. [...]


Disney's newest animated flick, BRAVE, showcases a fiery redhead that reminds me of so many Latinas. Her long curly locks, fierce determination and willingness to step outside the beaten path are characteristics many Latinas embody. Unlike many of the docile maidens in Disney's earlier movies, Merida, the main character, does not stand waiting for a man [...]

My feet heart my newest chancletas from the Havaianas Soul Collection. They're stylish, comfortable and priced just right. I've been wearing my navy blue and pop rose URBIS LOW SNEAKER for the past month, walking for miles in these shoes. They've gone on errands, lunch dates and even to Washington, DC. And you know what I realized? [...]
