🎈CHEERS TO 4️⃣0️⃣!!! 🎉🎂🔥 & to ! 💐

I was so scared to get here but now that I’m here, I feel amazing. What is 40? Having lived so many lives, so many job experiences, met sooo many people, so many good things, so many bad things. But above all, feeling so loved!

4️⃣0️⃣ is having accumulated so many anecdotes that will make me smile as I get older, having made friends (you know who you are because my circle is SURPRISE! very small) that are now my family forever, going to concerts and singing my 💜 out and not caring if I am not everyone’s cup of tea because I like myself so much that it’s OK if someone doesn’t have good taste!! 😝

❤️ So grateful for my family and my health - ALL that is right in this world is because of them. My heart explodes anytime I think I get to be in this world with them. Thrilled to be on this adventure called LIFE with my boys! ❤️ 🌹

Thank you for capturing these 📸 so I can show my grandkids one day that their GAMMY looked good and was fab!

🍺 Finally got to scope out the new Talyard Brewing Co during one of their soft opening events! 🍻

The food was exceptional! 👌🏻 The Adobo Chicken Bowl is a must try - hearty with spicy rice, black beans, tomatillo salsa & pickled onions. 🍗 I went for the crispy fried chicken sandwich - ask for extra Talyard sauce - thank me later. 😋 I even finished my meal with an iced latte to go-yum! ☕️

The backyard vibes brewery has a massive kids’ playground, turf and plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas, big screens & can’t wait to try pickleball courts.

It’ll definitely be our go to spot this fall season as soon as the temperatures drop!

🥹 16 Years ago, living in Honduras 🇭🇳, my friends, both journalists, got me the gig of a lifetime shooting photos of Belanova for a print magazine in Costa Rica.

It was a full circle seeing them last night at the Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land, in my new hometown.

📸 Swipe to see me in my early 20’s living a dream as a young, female photographer and the photos that made it into the magazine 💭

Hace 16 años, viviendo en Honduras, mis amigos, ambos periodistas, me consiguieron hacerle fotos de para una revista impresa en Costa Rica.

This past Sunday, Post HTX served as the backdrop for the EmpowerHer Experience, created by Monica Delgado, a superstar fashion stylist, digital creator and Latina in the Houston community.

Her events bring women together to share a moment of wellness, reflection and support! 💪🏻 She also curates an amazing lineup of vendors and can’t miss sponsors. This year’s event started with a rooftop yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ class, sound healing and speaker panels where a few of us, including myself, shared a vulnerability and how we overcame them.

Last but not least, happy birthday to Monica today! I am looking forward to your next event! 💖👏🏻🙌🏻 Thanks for you for putting this together!

Checked out the new Conservatory Galleria food hall this past weekend with my family and we truly enjoyed the cozy ambiance and cute bar (we’ll be back!)- it reminded us of a European food hall. 🌍

There’s tons of food options so we tried al pastor tacos 🌮 from Taquiza HTX, Korean fried chicken wings from Seoulside Wings🪽 and a burger and fries 🍟 from Clutch City Grill. Total spent was around $62! 😱

Best part? 🤩 Order from your table, open a tab and you can all eat at the same time AND pay one time! Genius. This is a problem with other food halls & I’m glad Conservatory found a solution. 👏🏻

Have you been?!
