I’m an Afro-Cuban/Irish girl who is in a happy place between the ultimate girly girl and all out tomboy.

The Professional Stuff:

I’m a freelance writer and blogger.  I’ve had my work featured on Yahoo! Shine both as a community blogger and a member of the Shine Beauty Guru Panel.  I’ve written for blogs such as  The Perfect Wedding Guide,   West Palm Beach’s Examiner.com and Rue La La’s Behind the Keyhole. I was a virtual blogger correspondent for  International Woman’s Day 2010 and the Avon Voices Contest in 2011. I also participated in Yahoo! Shine’s You.Reinvented  program for BlogHer 2010.

The Beauty and Fashion Stuff:

I am a serious product junkie!  My love for hair products has doubled since transitioning to natural hair, making me even more conscious of what I put in my hair.  The three drawer plastic storage cart in my bathroom is a testament to my obsession  fondness for beauty products.  I’ve made it my  mission to try every color eye shadow there is (nothing is off limits)!  My lipgloss collection has it’s own makeup bag and I’m always looking for a new tube of lipstick.  Doing product reviews on here is super fun and trust me, I don’t like everything I try!  As for fashion, my accessory addiction is crazy (and I won’t be seeking help for that!) and my motto for clothes is – don’t knock it until you try it.

The Personal stuff

Born and raised a New Yorker living in sunny South Florida!  I love the beach, reality TV, pizza, cheesecake, all types of music, and most of all, my husband!  When I’m not working or blogging (which I don’t know when that is!) you can catch me working on my fiction novel and short stories.
