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.

Potty Training Tips and tricks with Pull-Ups #SayAdiosToDiapers

Disclosure: This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Pull-Ups® Training Pants and Latina Bloggers Connect. However all thoughts and opinions are still all my own.

Last week I talked to you about this amazing Luncheon I went to with a great group of Latina bloggers as we had fun sharing about our potty training journey. Well this week I wanted to share with you some more in depth information on potty training and the benefits of using pull-Ups during your potty training journey.

My potty training journey was a pretty rough one. I felt alone and didn't have any friends to ask for advice so I constantly ran into new speed bumps in the journey. When it finally worked it seemed like a miracle and we never looked back. So here are some awesome tips that helped me on my journey and hopefully will help you as well!

Potty training tips and tricks plus the benefits of using Pull-Ups Training Pants during your journey:

1. Wait until your child is ready! Look for cues in your childs behavior and development and see if potty training is even something that can be put on the list. Check out the Pull-Ups website "The Pull-Ups Big Kid Academy" and check out the resources they have available for parents with questions on if your child is ready to start this journey. Using Pull-Ups during potty training is better than diapers so that your child will already develop the feel of pulling the Pull-Up up and down with its stretchy sides so that it mimics the routine of the goal which is underwear. 

2. Once you do start potty training... be consistent! Dont stop and give you child the idea that its ok to start and stop. Stick to the plan and be sure to spread the message to all family and friends plus those involved with caring with your child that you are Potty training. Getting everyone on the same page is valuable since you want your child to see that everyone is on board and this is really happening. 

3. Make potty training special! Go out and buy a potty and pull-ups with favorite characters to make it fun. Get some rewards such as stickers and candy. To make it even more helpful Pull-Ups come in a variety of sizes to fit your little ones depending on there weight. You can get gender specific pull-ups or night time designs and even ones with learning designs. My kiddo loved the variety and it made it a special event. Moms can even take the celebration with them with the Big Kid app on a mobile device. It has lots of fun features for the both of you to check out. 

4. Overall dont stress out! This potty training journey is different for each parent and child. Every child learns and grows in there own way and will get there at there own pace and its our job to remain calm and positive for them so that they see that no matter all the opsies and accidents that we are proud of them and here for them as they get there. 

I hope these tips help you and your family to get on the right journey. Dont be discouraged if your child doesnt want to be potty trained just yet. Let them let you know when the time is right. Reach out to other moms for help and remember that they will figure it out. One day you will miss those diapers just like I do when I see my big boy, so cherish each day during this adventure! 

Celebrate your Babys milestones with Pampers #SwaddlersFirsts {Giveaway}

Disclaimer: This review was made possible by Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers.  All opinions are 100% mine.

I remember finding out I was pregnant and immediately gathering items to create a memory book. I put in it every doctor appointment, every sonogram, every first special moment. I can still remember the first toy he received and the first outfit he got. So of course once he was born I made sure to capture every first and major milestone even more so! 

I actually went a little overboard and even wrote in it the first store he visited (Khols), his first restaurant he went to (Dennys) and even the first tv show he watched (Scooby Doo)! Dont worry though in between all the weird ones Yes I still captured his first step, the first time he stood up alone and his first word. I just felt like everything was so special, am I right moms?

Give A mom and Baby the gift of Sleep thanks to Pampers {Giveaway}

Disclosure: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

I remember being a new mom with a munchkin all my own and those first weeks being the roughest times for me. Its hard waking up at all times of the night to feed and change your baby and still get some sleep to start the day all over again. Its even harder when you dont have a diaper you can depend on to help you keep your baby dry during those precious sleep hours. But now thanks to Pampers more moms and babies will be getting the gift of sleep.

NEW Pampers goes beyond ordinary diapers to deliver our best for babies. Today we are celebrating the launch of major upgrades across our entire line of diapers, training pants and wipes. By interviewing over 9,000 moms about what was important for their baby, Pampers found the number one unmet need is a diaper that provides superior overnight dryness.  

Pampers incorporated this firsthand insight, as well as the brand’s deep understanding of baby and baby’s needs, to design a diaper that both mom and baby can count on for up to 12 hours of overnight protection. The product launch marks a large innovation in the brand’s history. Pampers Baby Dry is up to three times drier than ordinary diapers and provides up to 12 hours of overnight protection and three layers of absorbency. Pampers Cruisers are now more absorbent and offer Pampers’ best fit for all the ways babies play freely.

Here is how I gave another Mom the gift of Sleep:

Me, my sister and kiddo went shopping and had a lot of fun as we looked through baby clothes and accessorizes to help a little one sleep. He needed some nice winter clothes since its just getting cold at night, plus a blanket to keep him warm. What else could a little one need more than a special night light that also lullabies him to sleep? {Of course other than diapers and baby wipes!} But we didn't just look for the baby, we also looked for the mama. Because his mama is tired! She also has a four year old who started his first year of school and baby is one month old! So of course this mama needs all the love she can get. We got her some hair and body stuff as well as some journals and  pens so she can get out all her thoughts. She has a lot of sleepless nights and we wanted to help her feel happy and rejuvenated. So we invited her over and occupied her little one with pumpkin carving with my little one as we helped her out with her newborn. 

It gave her a chance to interact with other adults and relax and get some laughs in and some pressure off. We sent her home happily with plenty of treats and two tired little boys who slept good that night. 

Baby is even already wearing one of the warm outfits the very next day! 

Giveaway!

And now you can enter to win cozy blankets for mom & baby, a sleep sheep sound machine plus a $100 gift card so that you can also give the “gift of sleep” to a special someone. Giveaway is open to US residents. To enter please follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter below and give it a moment to load. Good Luck!

Pampers Love, Sleep & Play #pampersamorsueñosjuegos

This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers.  However, all opinions expressed are my own.

If you could look through the tons of photo albums I have in the few years since my son was born you would think I never put down the camera! I love my son and have such sweet memorizes of him as a baby. Especially now these memories are very much alive with the fact that this year he will be starting school for the first time and leaving his baby years behind. As I reminisce on these years I think about all the love we share with each other and all the ways we have experienced this love since his birth. So when I heard about Pampers Love, Sleep and Play campaign it really touched my heart.

In this new campaign Pampers celebrates and pays tribute to all the millions of ways babies uniquely experience love, sleep and play. 

Love: whether it's sibling love, parental love, or love from their favorite teddy bear

Sleep: whether it's a planned nap, impromptu slumber or a night filled with the sweetest of dreams

Play:  whether it's with a complex toy, a block or a simple box

Pampers knows that the how, when and where Love, Sleep & Play are displayed isn't what’s important; what’s important is the unique and joyful ways each baby delights in their own experiences. 

As a brand that has cared for the well-being of babies and their families for more than 50 years, Pampers understand the pressures parents feel in caring for their babies the supposed "right" way.  We know there is no one right way to care for baby and that is why we rally support for all the unique ways babies experience Love, Sleep and Play.

In celebration of the launch of there global Love, Sleep & Play campaign, Pampers is turning the spotlight on babies across North America to participate and take center stage in the brand's campaign. 

How can you be a part of this amazing campaign?

By submitting photos of your babies experiencing Love, Sleep or Play to be in the running to appear on Pampers Facebook page, Twitter feed and there special online gallery.  

Plus, they could be a part of a huge surprise New York City celebration this August. In submitting photos and joining the new campaign, parents can truly celebrate all the special ways their babies experience Love, Sleep and Play. 

So go and look through your photos or take new loved ones and share and join along with us other moms and pampers as we celebrate Love, Sleep and Play!
