Heart of a Fighter - The Sacrifices of Volunteer Firefighters in Peru
Good morning, good evening, or good afternoon,
This year I was blessed to spend my New Years in Lima, Peru for the first time with my huge family and warm next door neighbors which you can watch part of that experience in my Peru vlog to get a glimpse of it. Well, a tradition that is typically done to bring in the new year is something that's...

The Conquest to My Heritage and Manuela Saenz
Good evening or good morning, wherever you are,
First of all I would like to share my quote of the day in my "Daily Gratitude: 365 Days of Reflection" book which I love;
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us."
- Helen Keller

Catcalling is NOT A Compliment
Good evening,
I've been a bit busy with school, work and life in general, but something happened to me on Monday that inspired me to write about something I don't often like to talk about but I feel like sharing this would be important. I live nearby a police precinct so while walking home with my sister after a wonderful day, we were passing...

Las Matriarcas ~ The Matriarchs
~ in honor of my Tia Maria who is the trunk of her family and currently fighting for her life.
In my family, our mothers are the ones who have kept the family together. Many sacrifices were made by my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and my great-aunts and aunts throughout the years. The word impossible is non-existent...

The Ikonn's
Wuynas Nuchis!,
If you read my The Power of Gratitude in My Life blog, you would know that two people that have been very inspirational in motivating me to achieve my life goals and passions are Mimi and Alex Ikonn. I started following Mimi and her sister Leyla four years in 2012 when I found their LuxyHair channel on Youtube and fell in...

Thursgiving - UNHCR
Good evening my lovelies,
Earlier today while planning out the blog posts I will be writing out throughout the month of October, I decided that today I will talk about a charity that has been very dear to me for about a year already. Right now, while many of us all are worried about where we're going to go out...

The Power of Gratitude in My Life
Wuynas nuchis! (Good evening in Quechua btw)
So it's around 12:30 pm right now as I'm writing this so I'm settling down, doing my typical night time routine and there's one thing I've started doing this year that I'll like to share with you guys. Last year I noticed that many of the entrepreneurs that I look up to, for example Mimi and Alex Ikonn,...

Happy National Taco Day!
Hola!
So apparently not only is today Taco Tuesday (which I honestly don't usually follow tbh) but it's also National Taco Day so I left aside my plans to make a veggie and sweet potato platter and looked up a recipe that included goat cheese since I had some left over and was really craving it! Upon looking at a couple recipes I found one that caught...

The Chic Engiruvian
Buenos Dias!
After a long...looooong time of considering about starting a blog, I finally took the initiative to get.it.done.
I'm still not too sure if this blog is going to lean more towards talking about a project I'm thinking of doing or about a bunch of different things which is more probable since I'm always doing several different things that...
