Girls Night Out with Chi

Sometimes a girls needs a break, sometimes that break consist of a glass of wine and an uninterrupted shower (mommas you know what I mean!!) Sometimes you need to go out and get pampered – whatever pampered might mean to you. Last week I had the chance for the ultimate pampering!! The Houston Latina Bloggers were invited to Chi Academy to get a little pampering and a makeover!!

They asked us to show up with no makeup and no product in our hair – Eeek! You mean all of us gorgeous ladies showing up in our true colors? I don’t wear too much makeup and lately I am lucky if I get a chance to style my hair, so this was not a stretch for me :) Before I knew it all the ladies were there and we were all swept away for our before pictures. We giggled at the idea of taking a picture of ourselves in our natural look.  Displaying An_Evening_with_CHI_Print_BEFORE_MSTR.jpg

My All Natural "Before" picture! 


Truth be told ladies we are so beautiful without all that makeup and product but it didn’t hurt that we were treated like a star, after our before picture we meet our personal hair stylist and later we were asked to meet our makeup artist!


Each one of us getting our very own stylist and some needed double duty!!

By the end of the night we were ready to take our after shots! We played around and ended up taking picture after picture – all of us feeling pretty glamorous!



All of my beautiful Latinas come in all shapes and sizes, some of us get dolled up daily and others not so much, but at the end of that evening the girlie girl in us came out giggling and excited to play hair and makeup!

A super Special Thanks to the ladies that worked their magic!!  Thank you Melissa & Brianna!!

For me personally, I felt super fancy, the last time I could remember getting so much attention was the day of my wedding, 7 years ago this month!  That’s a looooonnng time! Thank you CHI for making me feel so special!

Weekend Snapshots| F*R*I*E*N*D*S

Today I'm linking up with 3twentysix and a quick recap of my crazy busy Weekend Snapshots

Throughout the years you've seen me post running pictures, before a race, during, after and in training. Sometimes in the rain, on a beautiful crisp morning and even at times before the sun rises. What you may not realize is that in the past few years the girls and I have been through so much more.

Kemah Toughest 10K - Sept. 2015
January 2013, I remember sitting at my dad’s kitchen table and telling everyone for the first time that I wanted to train to run my first 5K - Alma (my aunt/sister/close friend) said without hesitation if you do it I'll do it. Shortly after that I posted to FB and our friend Cindy chimed in "I want to do it too!" little did we know what would become of a little 5K Color Run before it was all said and done Lety joined us and Clarissa too - Fatima our little cheerleader.

In the past three years we have set out to celebrate our little girls birthdays, our birthdays, husbands birthday's, holidays and life together bringing us closer than we ever thought.  Our girls love to get together just as much as we do, all of them BFF's in the making. Let us not miss more than a couple of weekends without seeing each other and the girls start demanding a Friday night BBQ :)


Cheers to my birthday girls!! 


This weekend we celebrated our February birthdays, a bachelorette party for another beautiful friend and of course the #SB50. 


I wouldn't change it for anything in the world I can't imagine a major life event happening without one of these ladies by my side... or even just another Friday night BBQ for that matter!!

My ride or dies :)

Having fun with my new #Fujifilm #Insta
