Salut World!
I set up this space to share with you my interest, experiences, maybe inspire you, bring to you news that interest me, trends, but also just to blab about my daily shenanigans.
I’ve wanted to start a blog for some time now, but when I’m about to start I always doubt
myself. Why would anyone be interested in what I have to say, or do. But then again like Mindy Kaling book title “Why Not Me?” to connect with others alike.
My story? I’m in my late twenties, born in Mexico City, but grew up in West LA, raised by an incredibly hard working single mother, the youngest but first to attend college, my siblings are ten plus years older and so it wasn’t easy to connect with them growing up. My mother didn’t get the chance to go to grade school or really learned to speak English in her 25 years of living in the States – partly because there are so many Hispanics in LA she could always get by, but I still managed to pursue a career in engineering, and got a Master’s Degree. In the ways of life I also found love. I married a handsome Swiss man, I get to call my best friend and biggest motivator.
The reason I tell you my background is to show you it wasn’t easy to get to where I am but it didn’t stop me from pushing forward. So if you’re reading this and you’re struggling in any way, don’t give up! Obstacles/limitations shouldn’t handicap your future, if anything it should make you stronger and humble. Your future is what you make out of it, no excuses. I am now living the life I’ve worked hard to have. I have the privilege to travel, buy myself anything (well except a Porch :P), and help my family out- when necessary.
And when I’ll share where I eat, where I’ve been or what I buy is not to show case my spendings. I’m just living my life as I want and how ever it makes me happy. Maybe you discover something new with my post, maybe you follow me because we have common interests/style, or maybe I teach you something new. At least that’s my hope.
What are some of my interest? I love sweets and spicy foods, love to travel, photography, I go head over heels, love my tea, beer and wine, try to stay on top of current events in regards to politics, technology, books, movies, the stock market, fashion, follow the sports that matter and because of my husband, tennis too (damn you Roger Federer), love the outdoors and fitness, but not to be “skinny” but to be thick, tone and healthy – I’ll be the person to order a kale salad but also a side of fries because at the end of the day life is too short, you have to do what makes you happy and satisfies your taste buds.
I hope you do tune in!
