Celebrating Summer Futbol with the Pampers App {Sweepstakes} and Giveaway #MiEquipoMiHerencia

Disclaimer: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers.  All opinions are 100% mine.
Yesterday was a major day of excitement as I watched the opening ceremony for Summer Futbol and followed the excitement across social media. I dont know about you but watching Futbol for me is a thing of National pride and family. Its a time when we can come together and share in our love for futbol with good food, friends and family and unite across borders with others whose love for Futbol runs deep as well.

Having a little boy at home watching all the excitement makes my heart proud. Especially when you have a little one who wants soccer hair! We have been hanging out with friends and our family as we cheer on the teams and follow all the fun. My favorite part is the Goalllllllllll! You can just imagine the screaming here. 

So when I heard that Pampers Latino had launched the Mi Equipo, Mi Herencia Virtual Stadium app I quickly logged on to the Pampers Latino Facebook page to see what it was all about. 

I uploaded a picture of my Munchkin and picked my Team and then witnessed the cuteness before me! Here is my Munchkin in the stadium cheering on our favorite team! {He Loved it by the way!}
Im happy that Pampers is bringing Latino families and their babies together to honor two very important aspects of their lives: national pride and a love of fĂștbol. You can log on through July 15th to the Pampers Latino Facebook page to try out the “Mi Equipo, Mi Herencia”  app. There Moms, dads, Tias and tios and even abuelitos can upload and customize a photo of their little fan in the the Pampers Virtual Stadium. You are making a shareable meme that friends, family and other fĂștbol fans will all love.

While your having fun with the pictures dont forget to sign up for the Pampers sweepstakes to enter for a Grand prize of a year’s supply of Pampers diapers and wipes!

My friends son was glad to model it for us and even kick around the ball for fun! He hasnt stopped playing with the futbol since. Future futbol player maybe? He loved it so much he sunk his baby teeth into it!!

Wacky Science fun with The Happy Trunk

Disclosure: I was provided a Happy Trunk for review purposes. No Other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions are still all my own. 
My kiddo and I love crafts! We have shared many of the ones we have made with you and sometimes we have awesome ideas and not all the materials and cant go out and buy them at the moment so it ruins our fun. So when I get The Happy Trunk in the mail Im excited to see that it comes with everything I will need for the activities inside. The Happy Trunk has arts and crafts and even science activities for us to do together. 

This month we got Wacky Science! Check it out:
Inside there are activity cards that have instructions on how to do each of the science experiments from the box plus all the materials necessary for them.  Even including scissors!  
We started off with Slime monsters! This one sounded and looked fun so we jumped right in. They included a full size bottle of glue for which I was grateful since we used it all up in this experiment! 
It was easy to do and fun for my munchkin. Watching the materials mix and seeing how it changed into something new was exciting and a fun science lesson that can open up conversation on states of matter and more.
We ended up making 2 different colored containers and then decorated them to make fun monsters of our own! 
Arent they adorable?! 
We then did the Fizzing lava Lamp and this one we stayed on for a long time! 
Watching the solution bubble up inside with each shake was a blast! We used a little bit of fizz powder at a time to really make it last. 
It looked so pretty and was fun. We then did one more that day. It was the Magnetic Hairstyles!
My kiddo and I were giggling making different hair styles and even making a mustache for our magnetic hair man. Isn't he cute? With this one we got to talk about magnets and what they can pick up and how we were creating the hair styles with the pipe cleaners. We also made a nose and mouth with the scissors. 

Isn't it nice when you can sneak in some fun learning activities and your kiddos have no idea? The Wacky Science kit from The Happy Trunk occupied the both of us for a good afternoon. The best part is that with the materials provided we can stretch that fun for the future. What science fun have you been having with your little ones? Have you checked out the Happy Trunk before? We cant wait for a new kit!

For more with The Happy Trunk check out our review of Fun in Food. And dont worry they have a little bit of everything for the kiddos: Creativity Kits, Party favors, Party packs,  Science kits and mini creativity kits. Be sure to check them out!

Combating your Allergy face with Beauty tips from ZYRTEC #ENFRENTATUSALERGIAS

I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour for Latina Mom Bloggers on behalf of ZYRTEC® ALLERGY FACE® and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

How are you guys dealing with this spring weather? If your anything like me then you are not doing good and people even ask you if you are feeling sick. "Mija are you feeling ok?" But no its this allergy season that keeps coming at me and giving me a not so great allergy face. With all the sneezing and runny noses I don't blame people for wondering. 

But luckily I know that Zyrtec will be there to help me combat my allergies by providing me quick relief and not just any relief, but one that lasts the whole day! So anything that helps us out is a plus and the New ZYRTEC® Dissolve Tabs can be taken anytime or anywhere because they dissolve in your mouth without water. They’re perfect for someone who is on the go like me and if you still have doubts its even the number one allergist recommended brand.

But what about my allergy face?  
You ladies know what Im talking about. The puffy eyes and runny noses dont really scream out Hot mama so Im glad to say that in order to help women look fresh-faced and flawless during the height of allergy season, ZYRTEC has partnered with celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez to help women tackle ALLERGY FACE. Gomez has developed a variety of celebrity-inspired looks that will help all women face their allergies so they too can look like they’re ready for their close-up.

So in this instance for this weeks allergy face I decided to try out the lovely Jackie's "Fresh faced & Glamorous" look. It helped me feel more confident as I walked up to pick my munchkin up from school. Facing other parents and teachers when I dont feel so confident is tough so this little self esteem boost goes along way! 

Heres the Look I tried out so you can check it out too:
I bet it will help you tackle your own allergy face. But if fresh faced isn't really your look well dont worry since there are many looks to choose from that each help in there own way. 

Here's my own selfie with Allergy face trying out the "Fresh faced & Glamorous" look. Not so bad huh?
I know that we as Latinas set a different standard on ourselves on beauty thats truly cultural.  From our own moms who wouldn't leave the house without there face on that included red lips and great lashes its tough when you dont feel up to the standard. 

Check out this Fun allergy face Beauty video tutorial and for more videos check out there youtube page
And for more fun with Zyrtec check them out on Facebook. If your a thrifty gal like me then be sure to sign up for there rewards! We all like to save and get rewards dont we?

Please feel free to share how you deal with your allergy face or if you even feel you have one. Since I sadly know I do, its been fun to learn new Beauty tips on how to make the best of a not so great situation. Any and all tips are greatly appreciated!
