For mother's day I had a big rager planned at Knotts Berry Farm. Instead my husband and I started getting sick Thursday night. We ended up going to the Goodwill and trying to go to some Mexican sushi place but ended up at a Japanese sushi place and me walking in hoping that my shirt was really the Kanji spelling of Tokyo and not some cheeky obscenity.<br />

This outfit was all in a day's work of thrifting. I got both pieces at the same store. The Russian lady who works there was happy to see Sochi again. She said she told her whole family about Sochi's name. She is from Sochi, Russia. After spending 100 dollars on $2.00 items (yeah it happens) they said, "these are for you, happy mother's day" and gave me 6 waste baskets. Brand new, tags still attached. I heard them tell they lady before me to make sure she took one, but they handed me 6! I was so excited. Even though I don't need any trash cans, it was really cool cause they were free!<br />

But I guess I should be thanking Sochi for the trash cans cause without her I wouldn't be a mom and without being a mom, I wouldn't get any free trash cans.<br />

5 de Mayo is a great "holiday" because it says it's exact date like the 4th of July. It's hard to forget. Now if they only called Christmas the 25th of December I could actually remember which day it falls on.<br />

These are Granny's Vince Camuto's she got at Nordstrom. They are one size too big but I wore them anyways. I will spare you the story of her seeing them on another woman, befriending her, and exchanging email addresses all in the shoe dept.<br />

So I had to wait till my shitty hair color and hair cut grew out to blog again. I tried to quit, I tried making a new blog but in the end my style is just to killer to not share with the world. Or maybe I just miss my friends. We decided to go to Big Bear for the day since the Palm Springs area is crowded with Coachella go-ers. I would go to Coachella if I were VIP and had a $6,500 cabana with my own bathroom and a guaranteed sighting of Beyonce.<br />

Here's me posing with the world's worst michelada. The beer they put in it was lukewarm. I don't even take my showers lukewarm so yeah I was no impressed. My retired HR manager mother told the server I didn't like it and she took it off the bill.<br />

Little town, in a peaceful village. Here's me with my nose in a book just like Belle. I bought this book as a prop on the drive up at some random yard sale. The man I bought it from told me he met Charlie in the 60's while hitchhiking. My mom then asked , "Were you one of his followers?" He was not but I still should have asked him to sign my book. I get shy around celebs, what can I say. #helterskeltereaster</div>

And then my husband did his duty of taking awkward toddler & tiara like pictures of me. See, I'm still the same ole Sophia, wearing Mexican dresses and belts. This one came from my local vintage store for $6.00. It's not a safe time when I enter that store #wheremytaxreturnat<br />
<br />
I love you all, please don't be a stranger. I actually changed my email address and forgot to update it on here and also tell some of my closest friends. Sorry Lindsay! TKM! Leave me a comment, twitter me, or instagram. You will find me eventually.<br />

I created a new blog over at <a href="http://9to5mama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://9to5mama.blogspot.com</a> . Check out my first post which is my wedding day costume and details.<br />
<br />
Why the move?<br />
Well, I want to blog about different things now, not only dressing up like a show pony in my backyard and taking pics of my outfits (which I will still do), but also speaking on things that I like and recipes and projects. I feel like this blog here in one-tracked and technically I could have just started talking about new ish but I figured that this marriage milestone would be a good catalyst for a change that has already been occurring. And hopefully the artificial comments will reduce "Love your outfit!" over at my new spot.<br />
<br />
I'm slowing re-following everyone at my new URL. Hope to see you there, if not, it has been fun....lasophiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067489300055344841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860053140149766859.post-34353577229527247312013-09-28T09:07:00.000-07:002013-09-28T09:07:22.772-07:00U-Turn<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

So, I think my summer fling with light hair is over. I really didn't like it, I liked the idea of it, I wanted a change, I tried it out, and now in the end I know that dark hair suits me and I can accept it and move on. Would Snow White would have been Snow White without her hair dark as ebony? No, she would have been Snow Ball or something else stupid. This is my stance and I'm sticking to it. </div>

By the time you read this I will be starting my new job. Today is my first day, Happy Mexican Independence to me. Except instead of Spain, I'm leaving a group of sad children behind. I got a job in fashion and couldn't be more excited. I'm feeling very Kanye West Late Registration.<br>
<br>
The last weeks of August were pure celebratory, my daughter's bday, my bday, my nieces' bdays, and more. My 2 weeks of commuting to downtown L.A. for training will surely slow me down. Good cause I'm eating too much pizza and not exercising. OMG am I Selena?<br>
<br>
Here is me hitting my baby's pi~nata at her first bday party. My niece brought the pi~nata just in case she reads this.<br>
<br>
Vintage dress and jellies. All thrifted.<br>
<br>
Sochi said a new word today, "caca." There, that's my mommy blog. blegghhh.<br>

After a long hiatus, Maricela returned to my loft to model some clothes for me. I decided I need to have my niece start shooting the pics for me because Maricela makes me laugh too much and I end up using the straightening feature to fix it all on iPhoto. Maricela is one of those friends that I feel does way more for me than I do for her. I wish I knew better how to balance the scale but I ain't no libra #virgoproblems. Till then I will just keep making her tostadas and mojitos, our go-to lunch.<br />
<br />
These clothes will be added to my shop in the next few days...<br />

I got so caught up trying to be a young Sandra Cisneros in my "Vest Side Story" post that I really glazed over the DIY vest I made. So it was a jean jacket, I cut off the arms, and appliqued a piece of fabric to the back using the satin setting on my machine. Even though I have been told my sewing looks like "Helen Keller did it" I still continue to try and make myself things, since I did take lessons for a bit and all. I just don't have a steady hand to ever create something really well. I'm better at other things and that is ok with me. Here is another piece I made for myself. It is La Virgen de Guadalupe on a jean jacket.<br />

I'm craving fall so bad this year. I vow to wear more than leggings, sweaters, and boots this year. I have been taking pointers from Helga and Desiree. I love their layering techniques.<br />

It's where I post pics of the so called healthy food I eat. It's a photo menu for me really.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
My new fave is a nopales (cactus) juice I make in the morning in my nutri-bullet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recipe:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
the juice of 3-4 oranges</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a handful of organic alfalfa sprouts</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons of flax seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3/4 cup of nopales</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup of frozen pineapple chunks</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
GRIND and drink. So refreshing. But my market was out of nopales today so I guess I'll have to go on a hunt tomorrow at another store or find a machete and head for the hills... </div>

My boyfriend says I complain too much. Just another lovely trait I have inherited from my mother like upper lip hair. I don't complain to be a drag, it's honestly a way I make conversation. Nothing unites the people like haterade, right? Today I have chosen to complain here, in my little public corner of the internet. Here, in list form are things I hate about the shower.<br />
<br />
1. Stepping into a wet shower (recently after someone else has showered)<br />
2. When people use my loofah (<i>Hey, why is my loofah wet?)</i><br />
3. When I buy new products such as body wash, then I get in the shower and realize I have left them by the sink so I have to step out and get them.<br />
4. Taking a shower (can you think of a bigger waste of time?)<br />
5. Hearing my mom complain time and time again about how dirty my glass shower doors are. Get over it, they are shower doors, they are dirty with soap, not dirt. So technically, they are clean.<br />
6. Wet towels on the floor (a post-shower peeve of my mother's as well)<br />
7. Empty bottles of product. Can we put them in the trash already?<br />
8. Bitches aka my boyfriend who uses my Noxema, I told him to use the Aveeno face wash.<br />
<br />
Look, I'm not even that bad, I couldn't even think of 10. On to the clothes.<br />

My 4th of July costume really reflected how much the Junk Gypsies have been rubbing off on me.<br />
It's pretty much my favorite show on television right now. Their style is a lot more country than mine, but I can still appreciate it and how they basically drill a hole into anything and make it a lamp. Just proves it is true, all of my favorite people are from Texas. I love you M.J. Que viva Selena and Sarina.<br />

The 4th of July has turned into one of those 'I'd rather stay at home holidays.' On the way home from my boyfriend's art show that day, we were in ridiculous traffic. Glass was shattered in the street like someone had broken a window of a few parked cars. "It looks like there is going to be a gang fight around here," said my boyfriend. "I think that already happened," replied me. I just don't trust my fellow Americans when it comes to major holidays. People get too drunk and I live off a scary highway. Am I getting old? On New Years Eve this year we were at my boyfriend's parents house. We had all these plans to do the traditional stuff at midnight, fun Mexican stuff, like eat 12 grapes, run around the block with our suitcases to ensure good travels, and then NEWSFLASH on the T.V. (my heart always stops when this happens) some people had shot one another dead at the annual firework show in old town Sacramento. We ate the grapes, but nixed the running around the block idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a paranoid person who lives my life in fear, but from now on, I'm going to spend my NYE and 4th of July in some sequins at home, sippin on some fancy Bev Mo ciders and beers and eating a block of gouda cheese till sleepiness ensues. </div>

This post is a nevergram- a dress I'd never worn before these pics were taken. I have to say, the dress feels better than it looks. The open shoulders give me a sense of freedom, like I can't be bound by accessories, chokers, cameos, hoops, or rings. But then I download the pics and the dress seems #boring.<br />
<br />
My niece, "You used to dress like Zenon, now you dress like a mom."<br />
<br />
I still have my crazy costumes, don't unfollow me just yet. Wait till you see my red slip on slip I have planned for the 4th of July.<br />
<br />
Till then, I'll be working on my Snooki body. Ordered some bootleg DVDs from a Craigslist Killer the other day. It they are legit, I should be looking like Snooki in no time. Snooki post shore and baby that is. It might be pure insanity, but I'll try anything once (except methamphetamines and select opiates). <br />
<br />
Besos, bye.<br />

Um.....hi<br />
<br />
I'm hashtag humiliated for not blogging for so long. Thanks to everyone who still stopped by to say hi in my comments section under my CHRISTMAS post. oops. Once Easter came around, I almost blogged. I was going to make a joke about me blogging only on Christian holidays, but I couldn't even get myself to do that. It's not that I'm slammed all "oh Im a new mom and I can barely function," no, def not that bull. It's just I that I haven't had the ganas, the desire, to blog. Blogging filled some void I had in 2010. All my voids are now full, almost all of them.<br />
<br />
I'm off work for the summer so here I stand. Black and white is a trend now? WTF? Those are my fave colors of all time. My next 2 outfits after this one will be in those colors- spoiler alert.<br />
<br />
I'm still<br />
- loving black and white<br />
- losing my baby weight as slow as molasses, cause that's what it is molASSes <br />
- living out of wedlock/in sin<br />
- looking like a robot in my pics<br />
- not loving police<br />
<br />
Since I left ain't nothing changed.<br />
<br />
We all have our absences, I feel like I'm so Dr. Dre the Chronic 2001 now. <br />

Every time I try to get ready from start to finish meaning: shower, hair, and makeup, it is like a freaking Mexican tropical storm hits my room. Something breaks, I duct tape my carpet, I drop something behind my vanity and my daughter always manages to sh*t her diaper. On top of it all I'm always on a time crunch because the sun goes down by 3pm so if we wake up at 10, 11ish on a Sunday, then we only have a couple of daylight hours to take pictures (we live in the mountains, in a canyon). This is what happened the day we chose to take Xmas pictures for our 1st holiday card (Im not that ignorant to send out a card that says "merry christmas" assuming everyone celebrates Christmas).<br />
<br />
After briefly contemplating going to JC Penney or Sears, or somewhere professional, we just grabbed the tripod and drove down the hill out of the canyon where it stays light till 5. You know, regular civilization. Unfortunately a lot of other people were there doing the same thing. Fortunately we were the best dressed, because you know that matters in life.<br />

Once again, I have some Aveeno products to share with you. Let's go from right to left starting with the <b>positively radiant daily cleansing pads</b>. These are textured so they help exfoliate your skin. I actually keep them in the shower and use it to cleanse my face since they are self foaming, and just rinse my face off afterwards. Great for removing makeup. I like looking at the dirty pad and seeing all the stuff that came off my face. Don't lie, you know you do it too.<br />
<br />
Next is the <b>pure renewal sulfate free dry shampoo</b>- This stuff is a life saver. I used it this week when my hair was half greasy, but not ready for a wash yet. My bangs get greasy after a day and this stuff keeps me from looking like I live on skid row. Ok, that was harsh, this stuff keeps me from looking like I've been camping. Is that better? It is white when you spray it on. You have to let it dry a little and comb it through your hair. Especially important for those who have dark hair with gray roots. Definitely not a cute look if you don't comb it through. Leaves your hair smelling fresh too.<br />
<br />
<b>Positively radiant daily moisturizer with SPF 30</b>- I'm not the first to tell you to use a moisturizer with an SPF in it and I certainly won't be the last. Even in these winter months. Don't be fooled by overcast, UV rays are no joke. This is something you should use year round. I like that it has a pump, I use one pump a day the moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup. And then I say a little prayer for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Positively radiant brightening cleanser</b>- Speaking of pumps. Here is a brightening foam cleanser with a pump. Great to put in your shower or along side the sink so you can remember to wash you face. I'm not a big fan of foaming cleansers, I prefer cream. But this one does the trick.<br />
<br />
<b>Positively radiant skin brightening daily scrub-</b> I have reviewed this one before. This one is good because it has those microbeads to exfoliate your skin. It does foam. My mom is a big fan of this stuff, she has been buying it for years. Guess what she's getting for Xmas this year? <br />

I know what you're thinking, I look like an ice skater lost at a renaissance fair. At least that's what my family was thinking. Truth is, I'm a recovering bodycon skirt addict. I decided it was time to break out of this rut and what better way to do it than with my developing <strike>social </strike> sewing skillz. I found some really great tutorials on Youtube for easy circle skirt patterns. All I had to do was measure my waist and divide it by 2 x pi. Math? Ugh havent seen you since high school when I took algebra 2 as a SENIOR and was tutored by a SOPHOMORE in my class. College didnt make me take math since I was a humanities major. Got to take computer science instead with all the other dum dums. Awww my golden years....</div>

The only bad thing besides me messing up the hem by 14 inches here, 18 inches there, was that the fabric stretched a lot once it was cut but my Craigslist hired sewing teacher saved the day by telling me I could just add elastic to the waistband. Originally it was going to be a zipper. I wouldn't call it a work of art but it is wearable and boy did I tear up the town today by wearing it to: Staples, the post office, Target, Sushi, and Food 4 Less. This girl is on fiiiiiiirrrreee. Um not really. </div>

One of my all time fave quotes and I dont even remember where I heard it is, "It's not baby phat, it's phat baby." So now that my st*tch*s were dissolved, it was time to get back to my work out regimen. I thought it would be easy since I stayed active during my pregnancy, walking on the treadmill for 40 min a day and lifting light weights. The day my water broke and I went into labor I had done the treadmill, I was also trying to induce my labor by walking cause I couldnt take being pregnant anymore even though I wasn't due yet. blah blah blah.<br />

"You should be thanking me, I gave you the body of a woman" -My baby daddy.</div>
<br />
So baby daddy took me down to the garage where we have our gorilla gym set up. I <i>so </i>did not want to be there. I forgot my headphones so we both had to listen to the Mariah Carey station on Pandora at the loudest volume while I sang along like a clown to "Honey" and "Heartbreaker." Everytime he looked over at me on the elliptical I would lick my lips and wink at him because I felt so sexy. Not. I just wanted to bother him cause I didn't want to be there. <br />

After receiving an evil eye in return for my affection, I changed the station to TLC and dedicated "Unpretty" and "No Scrubs" to him. To which he replied, "Do they have I don't want no pigeons?" Finally my time on the elliptical was up (an elliptical that my mom bought during one of her insomnia spells from the home shopping network. We complained that it sucked and she blamed Nacho for not putting it together right. Then we looked up the reviews online and figured out that no, the machine just sucked. Who buys a piece of exercise equipment without looking it up first? Answer: my mom.) After I got off the elliptical I decided that working out without Sochi in my womb was a piece of cake. That's it, no more games, I was going to go hard. I brought out the jump rope. I don't think you want to know what happened next. It's something your faucet does, except my bladder was doing it. Is this why I was supposed to do Kegels? SNAP, this wasn't going to be easy. I exercised for a week and then fell off because of Halloween and Nacho getting food poisoning (he ate 3 chili cheese dogs, yeah). If he doesn't work out, I don't, plus I was tired cause he was stuck in bed and I was taking care of him and the baby. Now I'm back on the wagon again. This weight will only stay on as long as I let it. I had gained 15lbs the year before I got pregnant so I have a lot of work to do. This will not stop me from blogging and trying to express myself through style. I'm back on the outfit posting wagon.California Love,<br />

Happy Halloween from our Frankenfam</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reasons I havent posted:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>A dog ate my blog</li>
<li>Im checking my sources, but it might be against my religion</li>
<li>No one is paying me to do this and as you know, Im all about the benjamins, baby.</li>
<li>I've been tied up working on my novel</li>
<li>So many episodes of Ancient Aliens, so little time</li>
<li>The feds are after me</li>
<li>I have no clothes</li>
<li>Watering plants takes priority</li>
<li>I have a newborn at home</li>
<li>My computer has a green monkey virus </li>
</ol>
That list was full of half-truths. I'll leave it at that. Anywho, here are our some pics from Halloween. We had way too much fun making our costumes. I stayed up till 4:30am sewing mine. I made it out of some curtain fabric stuff I got at a thrift store for $2. I have been taking private sewing lessons in my home from a lady I found on Craigslist. She hasn't killed me yet so it is going well. It's a lot of fun and I am filled with passion cause I have wanted to sew my entire life. Sochi's costume was a collaborative effort between her dad and I. (Much like her conception except I tried to take all the credit for this one.) Nacho made her flatforms by buying a pair of baby shoes, inking them black, then layering and gluing foam to the bottom. I made her bolt collar with rolled up felt. He decorated her shirt to say "Frank N Baby" and I tried to sew a collar onto some black cape thing my mom bought at the dollar store. Don't even ask me how I did it cause I still dont know. We took "him" trick or treating. Of course, everyone thought she was a boy. Our costumes were inspired by her hair. <br />

It's that time of the month again...time to give away and review some great essentials by Johnson & Johnson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's start with the Listerine cool mint- Ok, when it comes to mouth wash, go the distance and do NOT buy it at the dollar store. You will be sorry. <b>Listerine</b> is an essential part of your dental health and something I definitely can't live without. I learned the hard way when I had to pour my dollar store mint wash down the drain. Wasn't even worth a dollar. This one is quality. Get it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Lubiderm daily moisture</b>- The bottle reminds me of my grandparents like the smell of fresh baked cookies might remind you of yours. My grandma didn't make cookies but she made some mean chicken taquitos. If you have ever shredded chicken or washed dishes you know the need of a good moisturizing lotion. This one is perfect, non greasy. I leave it by my sink and once I've finished washing my hands, I use this. Get it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Aveeno baby lightly scented wash and shampoo</b>- Lightly scented here is key. A baby's skin is 200x more sensitive than any human beings who is old enough to read this review. So take care of it and don't use harsh products on your bebe. My daughter loves getting her head washed with this stuff, she gets calm as a cucumber. And it's tear free. Even though she's not old enough to produce tears yet. You can trust this on baby skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Aveeno baby daily moisture lotion</b>- I use this on my baby over the traditional pink Johnson&Johnson baby lotion because it is fragrance free. I use it after the bath and daily to moisturize her sensitive skin. Keeps her smooth baby skin, baby smooth. Moisturizes for 24 hours. I'd say that is a fact.</div>

After a hot, pregnant, summer it was time to get Maricela back in my attic to model some winter wear. Oh how I love exploiting her beauty and figure for my own personal gain. She does not mind because she is my friend, uh right Maricela? Most of the pics feature her with an open mouth mid-joke or wise crack cause that's just how funny we are IRL. We joked that we should have our baby daddy(s) up in the loft with us to write down all our funny jokes. What I can remember of her jokes I use as selling points; furthermore exploiting her on an intellectual property level. "Let the Hunger Games begin!" -Maricela on wearing blazer below that has already sold BTW. <i>That's</i> how good she is. <br />

I'm kidding about the latter of course. <br />
<br />
I pulled this spearmint pleated skirt out of my shop to wear to my sisters 40th bday party this weekend. And I will not be putting it back in. It's nice to have a garment other than a dress that fits. Everything is thrifted except for my shoes. <br />
<br />
Went thrifting today for the first time in a long time and found some jeans for myself. Shock! Jeans. I just need to style them now. I'm really feeling the wedge sneakers that are out right now. Going to get some Steve Madden ones soon with my birthday money, that is, if they are comfortable.... <br />

I chose to use a model, my friend Maricela, as I felt more comfortable dressing her body than mine that just gave birth 2 weeks ago- that and she has really rad hair. Did I mention this is an outdoor mall? And it's summer? And the stores are spread out like going to another land within Disneyland.

</div>The first piece I found was the skirt at Guess on the clearance rack, still cost $75.00. It was a black sheer pleated maxi skirt with a mini tribal skirt attached underneath. Since it was so basic, black and white, I knew I had to bring some color.<br />

That's where the neon shoes came in. I have visions of owning a pair of neon bubblegum pumps and had seen many pairs at Macy's. I ended up purchasing a pair from the sales rack by BCBG for $22.00. HARD CORE SCORE.<br />

For the top, I left it up to Madonna's daughter's line "Material Girl" also at Macy's. A hot pink sleeveless tank with cut out detailing in the back. The basic yet trendy tank allowed me to bring it with accessories which I also got at Macy's. A gold cuff bracelet, gold collar necklace, and some gold earrings 30% off. Hell, at this point I was able to even throw in a purse which was a small black quilted faux leather one with a gold tone chain. Oh how I wished it were Chanel. I still had $13.00 left on the gift card but the look was complete. We went to the dressing room in Macy's and headed back to the stage where we were the first to arrive. Baby daddy was there and taking photos for me. Finally the event began which was hosted by Ellen K from KIISFM 102.7.<br />

I'm an emocita pesimista to begin with- translation- emo pessimist so I didn't have high hopes of winning. Not because I dont believe in myself, just because I don't like to be let down. But then Ellen K went to the audience and asked a random lady which look she liked the best and she said mine because it was "classy." Then Ellen asked Sonia Casta~neda, Youtube beauty guru and she said me as well but maybe she was biased because we are both moms. And then they announced the winner, and it was not me. Afterwards people kept coming up to me telling me I should have won which was really nice. Not cause I was hurt, but because I knew they appreciated my work, my art, styling and the fact that they didn't even know me meant it was sincere. This challenge was truly a challenge for me because as those of you who know me know, I don't really shop at the mall too much. I invest in shoes and then my clothes mostly come from thrift stores. I was unmoved by many of the clothes I saw in the stores. But that's all me, not them. In the end, I fell in love with Maricela's complete look which I know a lot of people did as well. She looked so hot. I'm lucky to have her as a friend/willing participant in my styling dreams. Remember, she is also the model I use for my Etsy shop. I pay her in clothes.<br />

If I could style for a living I'd be the happiest girl in the world. Ok woman, cause I'm 28 and pretty sure I was the oldest contestant. If anyone wants to hire me, I'm ready to work. Fashion is my passion. Always has been. In the words of Antoine Dodson, "Thank you! I live, I live." <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ok, so remember back in June, when I tweeted, commented, insta-gramed, and harassed the ish out of everyone to go and vote for me for Project Style? And then I lost by 20 votes? Well, it was all worth it in the end cause I made it to the next round after all due to YOUR votes. I was selected as the wild card winner as a result of having the 2nd highest total votes in the competition. So on Thursday I will be participating in the live style off at the mall where I will be given $200 dollars and 1 hour to shop and put an outfit together. Whoever wins the challenge gets a $1,000 dollar gift card to the mall and will have a chance to win a trip for 2 to New York fashion week. OMG I would die. Send me good vibes. I'm going to be so nervous! And I still can't move too fast, you know cause I gave birth just 2 weeks ago. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In other news....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I turned 28 on Friday. I didn't say a peep about my birthday on any social networks. It's been interesting to see since I havent had Fakebook for over 2 years now, who remembers your b-day. I'm not one of those people that gets hurt if a friend forgets my birthday. There are 364 more days in the year and a lot of other dates to remember, so I understand. I ended up having 3 cakes. My nina (godmother) brought me a tres leches cake, then my friend Maricela brought me a Coldstone ice cream cake! My family came over for a BBQ on Sunday so I made another ice cream cake so I wasn't just serving half eaten cakes. Everyone got to hold our baby, she stayed asleep all day being carried in everyone's arms. My sister said it was a "sip and see" I guess from Real Housewives, if you watch that, you know what it is. I wanted a champagne toast like Beyonce had in her hospital room after baby blue was born but everyone refused that idea. So, I got it for my b-day! yayyy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
