Beauty: Suave Professionals Natural Infusion

A few weeks ago, I attended an event with Suave and celebrity hair stylist Leonardo Rocco to try out the new Suave Professionals Natural Infusion products. I was pleasantly surprised with how soft it left my hair. The line is infused with Macadamia Oil and White Orchid and also smells really really good. The past few months my hair has been feeling really dry and unhealthy. Mainly because I've been dying it so much (going from light to dark). My mom swears my hair is going to fall off because I dye it so much. After using the shampoo and conditioner, even the hair stylist at Univision (who does my hair for my TV segments) noticed how soft my hair felt. 

The best part is that it's super inexpensive. Each bottle goes for about $3.99. If you're looking to switch up your hair products (and are looking for something budget-friendly) you should definitely give it a try. Let me know what you think! 

Here I am posing with Leonard Rocco who did any amazing job with my hair. 

For My Miami Fashionistas: Fashion Influencers Night Out

For my Miami fashionistas, I wanted to share this really fun event taking place this Thursday (7/24) at one of my new favorite stores The Habit:Art in Cocowalk. It was started by two Venezuelans and they have tons of adorable jewelry and accessories from more than 40 Latin designers such as Estivo, Dopodamani and Kayli. I recently featured some of their pieces here. 

Hope you can make it! 

Head to Toe Summer Fashion

One of my favorite pieces to wear in the summer are floral print dresses. This strapless number is so versatile and can easily be dressed up in heels for dinner or dressed down with these tan sandals and a straw bag.

This short dress wouldn’t be complete without smooth legs. My go-to hair removal product is Nair™ Shower Power™ Moroccan Argan Oil. It’s perfect for your legs and body and even works on coarse hair. Because it dissolves hair below the surface, I can wear more of my summery dresses without having to worry about shaving every day! What’s your go-to outfit this summer?

Video: What to Wear to Minimize Your Tummy

Yesterday I was on Univision's Despierta America sharing tips on how to minimize your belly. Let's face it, sometimes as much as we work out, getting rid of that little "pouch" can be soooo hard! Luckily, with a few style tips you can easily minimize it. Here are some of my favorite tips to help you hide those trouble spots.

For Work: 

I love pencil skirts for work. The key is to look for one with a high waist so it helps flatten your tummy, like this one from New York & Co. We paired it with a dark solid blouse, which as we all know, darker colors are always more slimming. 

Quick Tip: By wearing your jacket/blazer open you help create a vertical column, which can make you look leaner and slimmer. It's all about the illusion. Don't forget to show off your best features. So if your tummy is your problem area, why not show off your amazing legs?

Casual Look: 

Wearing things that are too tight is a big DON'T when you are trying to hide your belly. In this case we decided to opt for a tunic, which skims the stomach area and doesn't hug and tug at your belly. You also don't want to go too voluminous, which can also make you look bigger than what you really are. 

This blouse from the Eva Mendes for New York & Co. line is perfect. I love everything about her line, it's feminine and chic and she definitely keeps in mind the Latina curves. The dark wash jeans also help minimize your thighs and can make you look slimmer. 

Dress: David's Bridal; Shoes: New York & Co. 

Night Out

Empire waist dresses are perfect for minimizing your stomach. It cinches right below your bust, highlighting the smallest part of your torso. The deep V-Neck also helps to elongate your neck. We paired this dress with some black heels to add some height and you're ready for a night out in the town.
