The only makeup you'll need for Spring | @ArtistryBeauty #Artistry #ad
I love makeup (but I think we already established that). I also wear it every day. Sometimes, however, I just don't have time to do the full-on makeup routine and lately, it has been a lot like that.
Last month during Hispanicize, I was introduced to the Artistry Spring Trend Collection. I have the full line at home and I can tell you that from start to finish, I take UNDER 10 minutes to do my

Abercrombie & Fitch's "nothing over size large" policy
I don't usually post opinions on companies on my blog, but after, Abercrombie & Fitch CEO interview expelling why his brand will never carry anything larger than a size "large" in their stores, I just had to say something. Mike Jeffries has come out to say that it's because "they don’t want overweight women wearing their brand." Wait... when did anything over a "large" become overweight? The

Spanish was my first language. It's what I learned to read in when I was in Kindergarten, and it's what I'm teaching my kid to read in as well. I remember having to read this: "ma me mi mo mu" over and over again. Every consonant had to go through the same ritual of being paired with a vowel. That is how one learns to read in Spanish
