I feel like I have to say this to all my fellow Dominicans and Latino(a) people out there who think the looting is the worse thing about all of the protests after George Floyd’s murder - and to all my Christian brothers and sisters who know that God’s greatest treasure is a human being. I … Continue reading A Letter to My Community

The Continuing Loop of Tech Addiction
Almost every year for Lent, I give up social media up until Easter Sunday. Every year, I miss it then I don't, and every year after Easter I go back to gradually using social media again until I feel addicted to it. It's an endless cycle, but one that I try to break. This year, … Continue reading The Continuing Loop of Tech Addiction
Love is Kind
I have so much to say about love, self love, etc. I felt compelled to write this post because of Valentine's Day yesterday and seeing all of the longing for love, especially in girls/women. This will be short but I hope helpful. There's this notion that is instilled in people at a very young age … Continue reading Love is Kind
The Power of the WOMAN
It's an epidemic. The majority of the women I know don't fully understand their beauty and value. Most of us would change things about our appearance or rather have something that another woman has. I rather have curly hair and I rather be a little shorter. I've always wondered why we're so hard on ourselves. … Continue reading The Power of the WOMAN
Connecting the Dots
In a world where faith and the practice of religion is on a decline, God still seems to shine a little light through the cracks. You probably thought the beginning of that sentence was going to lead to some movie trailer, but no. I just want to tell you guys a little story. My friend … Continue reading Connecting the Dots
‘Tis the Season
It’s almost Christmas!!! I think that in the midst of shopping for gifts, doing holiday-related activities like ice skating or visiting the tree in Rockefeller Center, we forget what we're really celebrating. This week, I went to mass and the main celebrant was Timothy Cardinal Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York. If you're not Catholic … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season
Hair Tips: How I Repaired My Damaged Hair.
Side note: It's almost been a year since I've uploaded a blog post, which makes me sad because I like to write about random thoughts. But I promise myself that I will write more often. I've been meaning to write about how I've been able to grow my hair out. About five years ago, my … Continue reading Hair Tips: How I Repaired My Damaged Hair.
Best Halloween Ever!
Last week, my co-workers and I dressed up as Sara, Gary and mir.i.am from Jimmy Fallon's 'Ew!' skit. He release a video to the skit with will.i.am and it was epic. I was mir.i.am and I worked extremely hard to get my costume to look almost identical to the one that will.i.am wore. So there … Continue reading Best Halloween Ever!
Farewell Captain
Before Zac Efron, Derek Jeter was the only one I had eyes for. Yes, Derek was my first love. I used to have a poster in my room that said "Show Stopper". My Dominican dad never knew what that meant. On this very sad, rainy day, I say bye to Derek. The last of the … Continue reading Farewell Captain
So this happened today…
Imagine how excited I was when the day to go to Jamaica finally came. I decided to take a trip for my 30th birthday and booked it several months ago. I walk outside of my apartment and my parents tell me that they also booked their flight and are going. Surprise! Woohoo. It couldn't get … Continue reading So this happened today…
