Holiday Gift Guide: For Fitness Lovers…with Athleta...

Wednesday, December 10, 2014




As I've told you, this year, I decided to do a couple of gift guides. For the second gift guide,  I'm partnering with Athleta for a fun gift guide for fitness lovers. This one is one of my favorites because everyone makes fitness goals for the new year…so why not keep your friend/mom/cousin/sister (or yourself) motivated to do so with a great gift that she will actually use.

1. Fun print workout tight ($74): I love working out in black tights, but I like this technicolor print in B&W that is still as versatile as a regular black tight. It works for almost every workout activity and the quality is A-MA-ZING- always invest in high quality workout clothes that will last for years.

2. Training Shoe ($80): what are New Year's resolutions without a good workout shoe? These are super cute (love the aqua-purple combo); and they give you a barefoot sensation that is perfect for running and for gym training.

3. Insulated Water Bottle ($28): if you have a friend that's a hiker or does Bikram Yoga , she/he is going to really appreciate this one. Because of its technology, this water bottle can keep water cold for 24 hrs or hot for 12 hrs.

4. Sprint Watch ($45): this watch is perfect for runners; it has a stopwatch, 10-lap memory and countdown timer- and the price point is great too!

5. Plus Tech Hoodie ($64): if it's freezing where you live, this hoodie is a great idea to keep warm during winter training. The material is not bulky at all, so you can layer more if needed.

6. Sport earphones ($30): I like listening to music while working out but my earphones always fall off; these are designed to never fall because of their small size (AND they are water/sweat resistant)

7. Seamless Racer Bra ($46): sportsbras do not have to be boring; adding a pop of color underneath your tank is a great way to keep your workout wardrobe fun.

8. A yoga mat ($38): this gift is especially great for yogis but it is a great gift for everyone with healthy goals for 2015, no matter their fitness level or activity- we all need to stretch out, right?.

9. Spring Tote ($79): talking about yoga mats, this tote not only helps you carry your yoga mat easily on top, but it has two internal compartments and a removable shoe bag….so no excuses to head to work after your workout session

10. Stripes Hidden agenda Tank ($64): this top is a no-brainer; the back detail and the stripes add a little bit of a fashionable vibe to any workout outfit while also providing great support.

Holiday Gift Guide 2014…BEAUTY EDITION!

Tuesday, December 9, 2014



I don't know how and when, but THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!! You know what that means…Christmas Shopping!

So this year, I decided to do a couple of gift guides.  I’m going to start with a BEAUTY EDITION!! …why? Because they are the easiest gifts to give (and receive), you don’t have to worry about sizes, and everyone will feel extra glam with these ideas!

1. A neutral eye shadow palette: every girl needs a variety of nudes and browns to create every day makeup.
2. Makeup brushes: a girl can never have too many makeup rushes- and we always need to replace them. This set is also super cute.
3. A nail-lacquer set: some brands sell them as sets but you can also pick three fun colors that remind you of your mom/sister/friend and put them in a cute Christmas box…and there you go your own perfect trio.
4. Fragrances are my all-time favorite gift for the Holidays. Perfumes always remind me of a certain time of my life; and the Holidays are the perfect time to try a new one and create fun memories with it.

My recommendation for this season: Calvin Klein Euphoria; it is the perfect gift to give and receive this Holiday season. First of all, the bottle is gorgeous- I am going to put it on my side table as a dĂ©cor too, it was inspired by an orchid about to bloom and the sensual curves of a woman’s body. The scent was also inspired by the black orchid and its sexy and exotic notes…the end result: a mysterious, yet feminine fragrance that has become my ultimate favorite.

5. A clipless curling iron: if you (or a friend) do not have this magical tool…get it!! This is the type of curling iron I use and I love how natural the curls  I get with it.
6. Lip pencils/Lipsticks sets: just like I recommended for the nail polishes, get a few that remind you of the person you are giving the gift to, put it in a cute box (or makeup bag, see the next bullet), and that's it!
7.A makeup bag: not sure what to give for your Secret Santa? a makeup bag will do the trick!
8. Lip butter candy cane.

    ¡Y no se ni como, ni en que momento…pero LA NAVIDAD SE ESTA ACERCANDO RAPIDAMENTE! AsĂ­ que ya saben lo que eso significa… compritas navideñas.

    Este año me decidĂ­ a hacer un par de guĂ­as de compras. Voy a empezar con la ediciĂłn de belleza …¿por quĂ©? Por que son los regalos más fáciles de dar; no tienes que preocuparte por la talla, por devolverlo, y no conozco a alguien que no se vaya a sentir más glamorosa con estas ideas.

    1. Una paleta de sobras de colores neutrales: esta es mi favorita y toda mujer necesita una variedad de nudes y marrones para su maquillaje de dĂ­a a dĂ­a.
    2. Brochas de maquillaje: las brochas son la herramienta perfecta para mejorar nuestro maquillaje y deberíamos actualizarlas más seguido de lo que lo hacemos. Este set es lindísimo y tiene un toque navideño.
    3. Un set de pinturitas de años: muchas marcas hacen sus propios sets pero tu puedes comprar dos o tres colores que te recuerden a tu amiga, mama, prima.. y los pones en una cajita linda y LISTO!
    4. Perfumes: yo amo pero AMO los perfumes- los colecciono y cada fragancia me recuerda a un momento de mi vida…. y exactamente este es el momento para tener un perfume nuevo y crear nuevos recuerdos con ella.

    Mi recomendaciĂłn esta temporada: Calvin Klein Euphoria. Este perfume es el regalo perfecto para las que le encanta todo lo que es belleza; primero que nada, la botella es hermosisima (yo la pondrĂ­a hasta en mi mesa de noche como un adorno). Pero más importante, huele riquĂ­simo…tiene un toque misterioso pero femenino.

    5. Una rizadora sin clip: esta opción cuesta $30 y es una herramienta mágica para lograr ondas lindísimas.
    6. Labiales: lo mismo que las pinturas de uña- compra un par y envuélvelo de manera que se convierta en un set hecho por ti misma.
    7. Un bolsito de maquillaje: si deseas puedes llenarlo de varios productos y así es un regalo aún más especial.
    8. ¡Este bastoncito de caramelo con 5 labiales!

    ¿Ya empezaste tus compras navideñas? CuĂ©ntanos que otros regalos añadirĂ­as a esta ediciĂłn de belleza!
    BESOS!
