Celebrate la naturaleza with Aveeno Active Naturals
AVEENO celebra the Beauty of Nature this season. My mami would tell me her little secrets growing up about using what's already in nature to my advantage. Most of her tips and recipes were passed down from my nana to her, and I'll keep the tradition going as I pass it on to my nieces. Although... growing up in a Latino community, my mami wasn't the only one giving me beauty tips. I would get

Add a piece of bacon to any website
Sometimes it's fun to do random things online. Although I'm not a bacon lover, I thought this cool little trick was fun to do. To get a big ol' piece of bacon on any site, all you have to do is add "http://bacolicio.us/" before the web address. So for example, slather on some bacon (soy, please!) on my blog by copying and pasting this: http://bacolicio.us/http://livingmividaloca.com. Easy and

Bubblefest 2014 at Discovery Science Center
The 18th Annual Bubblefest is now open at

been passing by on my way home and watching the tent and huge Bubblefest sign
on top of the building. Every time I passed by, my four kids would scream, "bubbles,
bubbles, bubbles!" They knew what was

Shopping for lingerie
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Figleaves.
I'll take any chance to feel extra girly. Makeup, hair done, dresses... and nice lingerie. While it's nice to wear the trashy lingerie every once in a while too, the kind that you can wear every day is even more important. It's the first thing you put on, and what sets the tone of the day. You will typically find me wearing undies

My six year old finishes his Kindergarten day completely famished. He comes home and is just starving, all day - every day. So on a recent trip to Expo West, I had the opportunity to pick up some new favorites. My favorite feature about these products is their ease of transportation. I stick the juices in the freezer and by the time I pick up my kid from school,

5 Tips for Choosing a Convertible Car Seat
This conversation is sponsored in collaboration with Evenflo and Latina Bloggers Connect.
When I had my first child, I didn't think much about what went into a car seat. I chose something within my budget and mostly based on looks. Now, as a more experienced mami, I look for a few must-haves when I purchase a car seat - and between the two kids and two cars, I've done it about six times now! So

Buggy Night on Moto X from a 6 year old's point of view
My six year old is still hooked on his Moto X and on Buggy Night - the most recent episode in the Motorola Spotlight Stories. If he has a great week at school and passes his spelling test, he is rewarded with phone time on the weekends. You'll find him walking around our home raising his phone high and low looking for the little bugs in Buggy Night, and then laughing when the frog eats them.
