Holiday Gifts Under $25 for the Whole Family

Thursday, November 19, 2020

 *Sponsored by ShopStyle and Nordstrom Rack. This post includes affiliate links. All opinions are my own.*






As you can tell, I’m really excited about the Holidays…and I absolutely love getting gifts for my loved ones just as much as I love dressing up for the occasion.


Because of the current worldwide climate, I am sure we all want to save as much as we can. Reason why everything from this list is from Nordstrom Rack, and you will see lots designer brands under $25!!


Let’s do this!




1. Secret Santa/White Elephant

Every year, I do a white elephant with my friends (the only rule is that the gifts must be around $20) and we always have so much fun. 


This year, you can use a Secret Santa generator online, and set up gift exchange details so you can still have fun while socially distancing! These are all unisex, useful gifts, that everyone will love!




2. For little ones 

For this little list, I tried adding things that boys and girls will absolutely love! Let’s say Nico, my boy, caught a glimpse of it while I was doing it and he was super excited about a few items (your niece and nephew will be too!)


 

I always feel like shopping for my husband, dad, and brothers is always the hardest. But here are some key items that will never fail!



4. For your gals

I love shopping for my mom and my best friends. Unlike the guys, I always go for things that remind me of them and that have some sort of meaning.



5. Treat yourself

Don’t forget to treat yourself this Holiday season, you deserve it too! 

Getting in the Holiday Spirit with shopDisney

Monday, November 9, 2020

Last year Nico was still too little to understand the Holiday Season. So this year I’m going all out, especially with the 2020 we’ve all had…we deserve to welcome the most wonderful time of the year a little earlier.


Last week, I checked ShopDisney and, as we have a two year old who is completely obsessed with Mickey Mouse,  I got a few pieces that I knew he was going to love.


The first thing I added to the cart was these matching Mickey Mouse sweaters. The one I am wearing is actually men’s, but I really like the oversized fit and that I can wear it as a sweater dress + I absolutely love matching with Nico.



This is also our first Holiday with Susy, we rescued her in January so I also wanted to get her a little something-something. This top with gingerbread cookies was perfect and she looks so cute!



As I brought out our box with ornaments, as this is the first time I get a big tree…I think it’s time to get some new ornaments. These are some of my favorites:






Finally I had to get these plush Mickey and Minnie- I’m giving the Minnie to my niece, Mila, who is turning one this month.  I can’t wait to see them together playing with them…aww my heart!



Did you already decorate your home? What are you most excited about this Holiday season?

“Friendly Beauty Ritual”- Beauty Lessons Passed Through Generations

Tuesday, May 8, 2018

This post was sponsored by Ulta Beauty. All opinions are my own.


With #MothersDay right around the corner, I’m excited to partner with  Ulta Beauty  and talk about the beauty lessons passed through generations in our family. I got together with my cousins and started to reminisce while playing with all things beauty, listening to music, and laughing until we couldn’t laugh no more.

But let me introduce you to them first…say hi to # 26, #27 and #28…as in grandchildren! Yes, we are that MANY cousins- big Hispanic family for sure. My grandma had 9 children, 6 were girls and 3 boys. I cannot imagine all the fights in that house about who took whose dress or lipstick. But it was probably so much fun. 


______________________


Con el Día de la Madre a la vuelta de la esquina, estoy súper emocionada de unirme a Ulta Beauty para compartir algunas enseñanzas del mundo de la belleza que han pasado generación tras generación en nuestra familia.

Les presento a la # 26, # 27 y # 28…¡las 3 últimas nietas de nuestra abuela! (y ¡sí! Somos muchísimos primos). Hace poco me reuní con dos de mis primas  favoritas y empezamos a recordar a nuestra abuela mientras nos consentíamos con productos de belleza, escuchábamos música y nos reíamos sin parar.

Les cuento un poco de mi familia. Mi abuela tuvo 9 hijos, 6 mujeres y 3 hombres. Yo no puedo imaginar todas las peleas en esa casa sobre quien le robó tal vestido o labial a la otra, pero al mismo tiempo todos lo que compartían. 

LAST MINUTE- HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM

Friday, December 15, 2017





OK ladies! I’ve shared the perfect beauty gifts for the gals in your life, and some statement pieces you should get for yourself. Now, it’s time to shop for HIM! It can be your husband, your boyfriend, your brother, cousin, or friend- I hope this list helps you find the right gift the men in your life.. To do this gift-guide, I asked my husband and a few of my friends what they would like this Holiday, and I’m loving the variety. In my opinion they all work for every man and can be adjusted to fit their personalities

Holiday Makeup Looks with METALLICS & Holiday Gifts.. with Ulta Beauty

Sunday, December 3, 2017




Brought to you by Ulta Beauty. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that keep Nany’s Klozet going.



I always tell you girls how an outfit isn’t complete without the right beauty look. As a fashion girl, I love using makeup as that finishing touch- that last accessory that makes my outfit. I love how beauty is about expressing yourself and having fun with the trends.

This Holiday season, there is one trend I’m ABSOLUTELY LOVING: METALLICS LUSTER. You can add this trend to your lips, your eyes, or your nails. My first advice is to focus on one metallic at a time- let them sparkle (literally and figuratively).

So today I’m going to share 2 Holiday Makeup Looks with this trend. All the products I’m using are available at Ulta Beauty; and you are definitely going to add them to your Santa’s wishlist. Then at the end, I’m going to share some perfect gifts you can find at Ulta Beauty for all the 
ladies in your life.

HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA: The perfect beauty set

Saturday, November 4, 2017

Sponsored by Belk and ShopStyle. All opinions are my own.


My Oh My. The Holidays are right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited. I love it everything about this time of the year: the decorations, the music, the smell, the parties…and of course, the gifting.

 Every year I find myself buying all my Holiday gifts last-minute- NO MORE! It’s never too early to start thinking about Holiday gifts. I’ve noticed that I have a thing for gifting (and gifting myself) beauty products. Every woman deserves a little pampering AND you don’t have to worry about what size she is, if it’ll fit or if it’s her style.

I personally love gifting beauty sets, and I’m loving the variety of Beauty Sets that Belk is offering this season. You will find everything for every lovely woman in your life: for the mom who is all about skincare, the sister that could wear a different lipstick every day of the year, and your friend who collects perfumes ( I don’t know how or why but I basically fit in all those categories #Beautyobsessed for sure!)

But out of all the sets, there was one that instantly caught my eye because of it’s great value, and because it is such a high quality brand: the Lancôme Parisian Holiday Case. 

Happy Holidays. Love, Nany - with Shutterfly

Wednesday, December 7, 2016



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.

Holiday Gift Guide 2016: Beauty

Tuesday, December 6, 2016



Happy Holidays everyone! How’s your Holiday shopping going?

This year I decided to bring back my Holiday gift guides. The past years I’ve always started with BEAUTY- why? Because they are basically the easiest gifts to give  since you don’t have to worry about sizing. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make every gift thoughtful and personalized.  

Also these gifts are great for yourself- every Holiday I like gifting myself something special (I wrap it and everything). I believe that if you have been eyeing something for a while,  you worked hard to save for it, why not treat yourself too? You deserve it!

1. Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer
When I moved to the U.S, the first thing I bought was a hairdryer. I was 17 and I learned how to blow-dry my curls- a thing I still do at least every week.  As soon as I saw the Dyson Supersonic, I was drawn to it and I couldn’t wait to try it (and now I couldn’t wait to recommend it…this is the future in hairdryers!!). 

The Dyson hairdryer is small and light (perfect for traveling), it dries ultra fast (which is important when you have as much hair as I do- now that I see how quick I can blow-dry my hair..I’m thinking about growing it out again!). It also has 3 speed settings (fast, regular, and gentle drying), and 4 precise heat settings (212F, 176F, 140F, and constant cold).

Holiday Party Ready…with Viva La Juicy

Thursday, December 1, 2016




Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Juicy Couture Fragrances through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Viva La Juicy, all opinions are my own.



My fave season is here…the HOLIDAYS! I love everything about this season: the decorations, the music, the food, the gifting, and the parties. Oh the Holiday parties!

When I was little, I remember watching my mom in complete fascination while she got ready for Holiday parties…how she would wear her favorite dress, apply red lipstick, wear pretty jewels, and leave a trail of her perfume around her bedroom (This was the start of my healthy obsession with perfumes!)

I would wait until she was out of the house and I would sneak in her closet and play dress up and dream until the day I would be a grown up and do as she did. Fast-forward 20 years and here I am… still enjoying every step of getting ready to any big (or small) event. Reason why I’m so excited to partner today with Juicy Couture Fragrances and share how I get ready for a Holiday party.

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.


Are you ready to start 2015 with the right foot? What would you gift a fitness lover? Share with us in the comments!

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 décor 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.


    Did you already start shopping for the Holidays? I haven't yet! Share more beauty gift ideas on the comment section below!

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

    Este año me decidí a hacer un par de guías de compras. Voy a empezar con la edición de belleza …¿por qué? 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 día a día.
    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 recomendación 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 pondría hasta en mi mesa de noche como un adorno). Pero más importante, huele riquísimo…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? Cuéntanos que otros regalos añadirías a esta edición de belleza!
    BESOS!
