I’ve been sharing weekend events around ABQ since July 2022 because this city is far from boring, and I’m determined to change that narrative. There’s always something happening here... you just have to know where to look.

I DID IT! 🥶🧊💙

This morning, I took the ALS New Mexico Ice Bucket Challenge - and thanks to YOU, I raised $2,105! 🥹🧡

My original goal was $500, and I never imagined we’d more than quadruple it. Every donation, share, text, and word of encouragement helped get us here, and I’m so incredibly grateful.

I did promise you an ice bucket… but apparently New Mexico had other plans. 😂☀️ The heat had that ice melting before it even hit my head! So a bucket of cold water really helped keep me cool all morning!

I’m thankful for Mark S. Orgeron, Angel Gee, and Vanessa Talavera for coming out to support me this morning!

I loved that Angel Gee participated by slowly pouring ice water on Nicole Abreu. 😂

And I was honored to dump ice water on Justina Migdonia Grant!

And thank you Maria Montoya for allowing me to be an ambassador for this challenge!

Most importantly, this fundraiser was about more than taking a bucket of ice water to the head. I did this in honor of my friend’s mom, Regina, who passed away from ALS in 2013, and for the individuals and families right here in New Mexico who are facing ALS. The $2,105 raised will help provide care, support, equipment, and resources to people and families navigating this disease.

Thank you for showing up, donating, sharing, and helping me support a cause that means so much to me. $2,105 for ALS New Mexico. We did that together. 🧡

And Regina, you are not forgotten. ♥️

🤠Who in Albuquerque went to the Kane Brown concert last night?!

I’m so glad I finally saw him live!

“Thank God” is definitely my favorite (wait until the end of the video) but I’m also loving his new single “Woman.”

Okay, Del Taco… I see what you did here. 👀🍔🌮

The new All-American Burgertaco combines two existing menu favorites, the Double Del and the Big Fat Taco, and it’s definitely one of those menu items I had to try for myself.

And since I was already there, I figured I might as well try the Dirty Del and the new Caramel Cheesecake Bites too. 😂

Now I need to know: are you trying the Burgertaco?

Available for a limited time at Del Taco.

Just because.
