My friend Gaby from VoguishDiet started this fun hashtag #SheDidntShave (in Spanish but let's make it happen in English too) because, let's be honest: over the knee socks and boots are lifesavers when we want to wear short skirts but we simply don't feel like shaving🙌🏼. Raise your hand if you have ever done this! No shame!🙋🏻🙋🏽🙋🏾🙋🏿🙋🏼

Mi amiga  Gaby de VoguishDiet empezó este hashtag #ellanoseafeito porque seamos honestas: las botas a la rodilla o las medias altas nos salvan la vida cuando queremos usar faldas/vestidos pero simplemente no nos da la gana de afeitarnos 🙌🏼🙌🏼 (¡aparte de usar pantalones! 

¿Quién se nos une!!? Levante la mano quien ha hecho esto antes,¡SIN PENA!🙋🏻🙋🏼🙋🏽🙋🏾🙋🏿

Before people get confused, let me quickly explain this: I'm from Venezuela but currently my parents and older brother are living in Ecuador. I also have a couple of cousins there.

Every year we used to meet in Merida (a gorgeous city in the mountains). This year we met in Cuenca...which actually reminded me a lot of Mérida because of the weather and scenery. We rented a house and it was 13 of us staying together- it was basically a weekend of playing cards, volleyball...I was bonding with my niece and nephew. It was really fun.

Hope you like the pictures of this beautiful place. XOXO

Siento que tengo que hacer una pequeña aclaratoria, porque me han llegado preguntas sobre si soy de Ecuador ya que hemos estado viajando para allá últimamente. Mi papá está allá , mi hermano también, y un par de primos...por eso vamos, para visitar a la familia.

Cada año nos solámos reunir en una ciudad de Venezuela que se llama Mérida- de donde es mi familia paterna. Este año nos reunimos un grupito en Cuenca...que por cierto se parece mucho a Mérida por su clima y sus paisajes de montaña. Alquilamos una casa donde nos quedamos todos y fueron unos días de jugar cartas, volleyball, compartir...y bueno yo estuve mayormente con mis sobrinos- aprovechandolos.

Espero que les gusten las fotos de esta hermosura de pueblo.

As the holidays approach, I’ve been trying to do all the holiday shopping on time. I used to be the one running around the mall on December 23rd.

When giving and receiving gifts, I appreciate gifts that are thoughtful and personal. I love when a gift screams: “This reminded me of you” instead of “Here’s a generic gift”.

Today I’m partnering with Shutterfly to show you some of the personalized gifts I’ve gotten for friends and family (and for my husband, myself, and the house). I’ve been using Shutterfly to print photo books and stationery for so long- but I love how the site makes gifting so easy, you can personalize your gifts with or without photos.
