The Adelante Movement (what really went down)

I just arrived home from Hispanicize,
 and while my home smells like my presence was missed,
 and I'm back to where
everything flows with ease,
 I cant help to miss
 their voices, their giggles at night
their whispers in the dawn.
My friends have stayed and I had to leave.

Tips for Traveling (and sharing a room!!)


Hello Everyone!
In this lovely Sunday in which I had to work since 4am, I am still here with a long to do list.
Next week, I will be staying at the Eden Roc in Miami Beach with 4 other lovely ladies.

And all of a sudden, it hit me...
We will be 5 latinas in one room!!!
OMG!
That means...one bathroom as well.
hmmmm.

So, I decided to post some of the tips I have learned from traveling quite a bit in my life and doing enough hostels as well ;)

PACKING

  • When you travel, sometimes it is really hard not to over pack and bring unnecessary items. 
  • Try to plan ahead your outfits per day.
  • Organize your clothing in large zip-lock bags. This way when you open your luggage you don't have to take out your entire wardrobe just because you are searching that pretty red top. Roll your T shirts, underwear socks into separate zip-lock bags.there will be less shuffling of your clothes,and you can easily see what each bag contains. It also seals the air out compressing the clothes and giving you extra space.
  • Try to use all the space in your luggage, you can store small items like creams inside shoes!
  • Bring some hangers from your house, chances are the room will only provide a few, and when sharing a room, is likely someone will be without.

Getting ready for some Hollywood icons!!

  This is another reason why I love the fact of attending Hispanicize 2013!!
with more than 100 hundred sessions and 260 presenters over five days, I have just been informed that
there will be some Iconic women in Hollywood in one of the sessions that I'm looking forward to, The Adelante Movement: The wisdom of latina Legends, which is founded by Nelly Galan and presented by Coca-Cola Company.

Between the woman and the child

Lately I've been feeling strange...
like I don't even recognize my fears, desires
my motivations and my dreams.

Lately I've been feeling like everything that is happening to me
is unreal.
That all of a sudden I am a character in one of the wacky dreams from the movie "The Cell"
where fantasy and reality collide in the most freakiest way.
