Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and I know that for some, it could be challenging to think of a gift that “Mom” would love. Well coming from THIS momma, I will share with you some ideas that all moms would love, use and appreciate! All moms want to look and feel beautiful ALL THE TIME, but let’s be real, time is a precious factor for the process (yes, I said process) it takes for us to look our best! A couple of things that moms would love and appreciate and most certainl

Sylvi's Rainbow & Unicorn themed 4th Birthday Party *This Blog Post has been updated w/ helpful links for party supplies as of 2019 I can’t believe another year has come and gone and my oldest is now 4…time really does fly! And I feel it flying faster ever since I started having kids. I ABSOLUTELY love everything having to do with kiddie parties and celebrations! Having a boy and a girl, I definitely get to play around with different themes and ideas, and love a fun challenge

Scenario: You're at home, about to head to a holiday festivity, and then it hits you! OMG I forgot to buy them a gift! The idea of getting in your car, braving the madness on the streets, and then finding a parking spot, is only a fourth of the battle, when it comes to nabbing the perfect gift! So the clock is ticking, and you can't get to a store?! WHAT DO YOU DO?!?!?!?!?! Ok Everyone, here are two quick and easy options, for that last minute gift! 1) GIFT CARD: It's an obvi

The holidays are all about giving, I think we can all agree with that known fact. But we can also agree that along with the joys of spreading holiday cheer comes the daunting reality of spending money. It can get pretty stressful just thinking about that list growing all throughout the first week of December, and don't even get me started on those last minute gifts we all end up scrambling for just hours before that holiday christmas party. Been there done that....in the mist

Last year's post on GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING (CLICK HERE FOR BLOG POST), I spoke of fun private companies that make clothing, jewelry and shoes with proceeds benifiting world hunger (Half United) , jobs for the homeless(The Giving Keys) and giving clean water, clothes, shoes, glasses (TOMS) . I still stand by these wonderful companies and always hope to gift these for my loved ones, knowing that it has mutliple purposes with just one buy! I wanted to play on another idea of

Coming from a large Cuban family, you can be sure that our Thanksgivings are filled with lots of food and family!! Regardless of who hosts Thanksgiving, my mom always makes “thee” turkey. Growing up, I was always soo fascinated watching her stuff and cook the turkey that I couldn’t wait to learn her recipe. Finally, the day came! One Thanksgiving, a few years back, I joined her in the kitchen from start to finish and took notes on everything she used and how she did things. I

Excuse me but how in the world is it already Thanksgiving? I mean I know we have a little over a week, but wow! I realized I'm behind on listing some awesome events coming to South Florida for the holiday season. Not just holiday themed, but great events in general! All we need is our first real cold front of the season. I can't believe we havent gotten atleast one set of 48hrs of wearing ridiculous layers under palm trees... a girl can dream, right? Also, in case you missed

It's Monday Nov, 2nd and the Halloween festivities are officially over... oddly enough even though I obbsess over Halloween, I actually am completely satisfied -FULLFILLED- with the Halloween season. Ready to experience any cold weather drop in Miami, continue with my pumpkin spice everything, bake my life away, and throw some candy canes in the mix! I become a little O.C.D. with "To Do" lists this season, and I always like to remind myself of my own " 5 Golden Rules (to stay

When it comes to presents, I ABSOLUTELY love searching for the perfect gift and I love to wrap and present the gift in a pretty way!!! First and foremost, I’m a planner. I am your typical type A-brainer, so I do 2 things: whoever it is that I am buying for, I think about the person. I think about what they like or what they would love, but would never buy or even think to buy themselves. Then, depending on the gift I’m going to give, I plan ahead and shop around/shop early. T

Well, starbucks has officially spammed their "Pumpkin Spice" everything (which I love), and all I'm doing is getting my lists upon lists for all the festivities this Fall season brings. Again ,I know that the official day of Fall this year is September 23rd, but "early is on time, on time is late". Start marking down your holiday TBA parties, local social events, and official OFFICIAL (any event) dates AHORA (now)!!! I can't tell you how many times I've double booked myself
