Sunday Funday II

Hello Lovers! I'm nursing a tremendous hangover and it's all the bartenders fault - he just would't stop pouring us wine! (thanks mike) Ouch! 

The weekend was uneventful aside from yesterday. Yesterday was a perfect museum day and so a visit to the MOMA was in order. We caught the Diego Rivera exhibit which was nice but i expected a bit more. Still, i recommend you make your way there if you can. It gave me the urge to watch Freda... which i've never seeing. Yeah yeah i know. 

Anyway guys, i'm still way too hungover for a proper post so here are some pics from our visit - the iPhone edition. This was a Sunday Funday for sure. Enjoy!

Happy Monday!

Today you are YOU...

Have a Great Weekend Lovers!

Finding Real Joy

You all recall my SOYJOY Daycation adventure this past summer right? And the awesome giveaway soon after? Yes, that was a good day (shout out to Kristen!).  Well, it seems we have more adventures to look forward too. The fortunate gal that i am, i was again approached by SOYJOY and chosen as one of five bloggers to be a 'JOYTESTER' - a campaign designed to encourage ways to help find real joy in YOUR everyday life. Needles to say i was thrilled and accepted without hesitation. This is such a big deal for my little blog. Uh-Mazing! This year SOYJOY will challenge us all and I can't wait to see what they've got up their sleeve. 

I cannot express how excited i am to work with this bran again; from the very start they have been nothing but exceptional. Plus working alongside such an inspiring group of people is such a treat, AND to be the only Latina Lifestyle Blogger of the group. WEPA!!!

My first challenge (one of three), is scheduled for sometime in March. So stay tuned to see what new SOYJOY adventure i'll be up too next. You know its gonna be good. In the mean time i invite you to take advantage and enjoy this GIVE & GET SOYJOY coupon. This is a winning situation all around, lovers.

A New Purpose

I got this beautifully woven plum colored clutch two years ago in a little Parisian Boutique. I spent €40 on it with no real purpose of what to wear it with. I just wanted it. Total impulse buy. Since then i've only used it perhaps three times. Today its going to serve as a temporary carrying case for my new and beloved Kindle Fire. 

It's a bit large but it will serve the purpose until i am able to get a proper protective case. Plus, it gives me a great excuse to use it. What do you think?

PS: are you like me who names most of my electronics? i name my electronics. i do. my new kindle is now dubbed KiKi-Fuego. :)

A Late Christmas

Please divert your eyes from the unflattering sweater and instead look at the box i am holding. YES, my family paid attention and gifted me a brand new Kindle Touch!!!! A late but perfect Christmas present. (Happy Dance)

*UPDATE*

While enthusiastically setting up my brand new and beloved Kindle Touch, conveniently the commercial promoting the even newer Kindle Fire aired. I was now torn. That damn Ad got to me. The Kindle Fire came in color with web-browsing capabilities for shopping online, blogging and of course, fulfilling its purpose as a convenient electronic book reading devise! I now longed for the Fire. What to do? Well, easy - i shamelessly asked the fam if they would be ok with me returning the Touch in exchange for the Fire aaaaand Vuala!

YES, I'm now the proud owner of the brand new Kindle Fire!!!!

I've wanted a Kindle for so long. My daily commute as i hustle into the city is easily 45 minutes to an hour. This will certainly make those days more bearable. And although at heart is still enjoy a good hardcover - its pages, the touch, the smell - with the Kindle i know i will be encouraged to read more books. I will continue to purchase my hardcover copies but will reserve these only for the classics - as it should be. 

THANK YOU FAMILY. I LOVE YOU DEARLY!

Happy Monday Lovers!

Rest In Peace, Etta James.

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

Although I shared this video earlier on  twitter a proper blog post was most definitely in order. This is singer/songwriter Ginette Claudette, and i just recently discovered her and her wicked cover of John Mayer's 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room' on youtube. Her raspy breathy voice pulls this off so perfectly and effortlessly, i was hooked.  I am right now going through the remainder of her vids and so far i approve.... and i think you will too.  I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more from Ginette. Enjoy!
