Orgullosa House Party for Hispanic Heritage Month

Last night eight of my girlfriends and I got together for our Tertulia, a tradition we started 13 years ago. This month it was an Orgullosa theme and we got to enjoy all the Orgullosa products that they sent us. We had Oil of Olay, Secret deodorant, Cover Girl lipsticks, nail polish, Venus razors, t-shirts, bracelets and bags. Our friend Liliana was kind enough to open up her house to us.

We shared stories, gossip, food, drinks and laughed until we cried. Laughter with girlfriends is always the best medicine for any ailment but it's especially good when you have gifts to share. We talked about being Hispanic, or not, about being half Hispanic, half African American, Mexican, Colombian and American. We are all women and we are friends.

"P&G announced the launch of “Orgullosa,” an initiative created to celebrate, empower, and fuel Latinas’ accomplishments and dreams. The initiative, which carries the name of the Spanish word for “proud”, has as its centerpiece Orgullosa.com, a virtual community through which Latinas can engage in a dialogue with one another that also provides them beauty, household, and lifestyle advice to simplify their lives". - Business Wire

Fall Has Arrived, if Even for a Few Days

Every year I have my fall post. This is it. I love FALL!!! I love fall and spring in Houston. We don't really have a real winter so it's kind of just fall and then spring here and then it's summer again.

(Photo by: Jean-Pol GRANDMONT And we do not have leaves like this in Houston in the fall. Very far and few between.)

Sunday we had our first cold front. It was amazing! It was so cool on Monday morning, so after I got home from dropping off the kids I went out for a walk for an hour. It felt so great!

We're supposed to have some cool days for the remainder of the week but at the end of the week it's supposed to start getting warm again. I'm really hoping it happens on Saturday after we have our reunion on Friday night because it's going to be outside.

Outside doesn't usually go over well with me unless it's winter time. I'm hoping for the best Friday night with this new cool front. PLLLLEEEAAAASE Cold front! Can you stretch it out until Friday night?
