Muppets-El Dia De Los Muertos
El Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), a Mexican celebration, is a day to celebrate, remember and prepare special foods in honor of those who have departed. On this day in Mexico, the streets near the cemeteries are filled with decorations of papel picado , flowers, candy calaveras (skeletons and skulls), and parades. It is believed that the spirit of the dead visit their families on October 31 and leave on November 2. In order to celebrate, the families make altars and place ofrendas (offerings) of food such as pan de muertos baked in shapes of skulls and figures, candles, incense, yellow marigolds known as cempazuchitl (also spelled zempasuchil) and most importantly a photo of the departed soul is placed on the altar. Death is laughed at in its face. Many euphemisms are used for death, La calaca (the skeleton), la pelona ("baldy"), la flaca ("skinny"), and la huesada ("bony"). There are refranes, sayings, and poems that are popular with day of the dead. These sayings are cliches and lose meaning when translated. For example "La muerte es flaca y no puede conmigo" means "Death is skinny/weak and she can't carry me." Calaveras (skulls) are decorated with bright colors with the name of the departed inscribed on the head. Children carrying yellow marigolds enjoy the processions to the cemetery. At the cemetery, music is played and dances are made to honor the spirits.

2012 Chevy Traverse ~ Diamond Edition Review
-steering wheel-I love that the steering wheel moves up and down, and in and out. It adjusted to fit my pregnant belly.
-3rd row-I love the 3rd row seating. I like that you can fit adults, comfortably in the back. The Traverse is made to fit adult legs.
-rear AC-My son loved this. He was able to control the temperature in the back for all the back seat passengers. No more freezing mom to keep the back cool.
-Rear Space-The 3rd row can easily be folded down for space. And there are easy to use latches to pull the seats back to where they belong. I especially like this because I am short and the belly. There is also a hidden compartment back here.
-heated and cooled seats-Houston weather, you never know which button you may need this Fall.
-10 to 12 cup holders
This vehicle is a crossover. For those people who need the van space but want a kinda car/suv look, Traverse is for you. Most guys wont get caught in the uncool mommy vehicle, but this is one is cool enough so says my husband. Not your typical mommy vehicle. And best of all, it seats 8.
8 is enough in the Traverse from Alba Garza on Vimeo.
Would you like to test drive a Chevy Traverse? Check it out for yourself...
Test Drive a Chevy Traverse between October 31 and November 26 and receive a $40 SpaFinder gift card.
***Disclosure-I test drove the Traverse for 2 weeks. I received a gas card and a spa certificate for my time. These are my honest opinions. I am a Chevy Girl!!

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

Celebrate the "Greening" of Frito-Lay's Casa Grande Plant
Frito-Lay’s manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona is 75% Near Net Zero! You may be wondering what ‘near net zero’ is… It means that the facility now operates mostly on renewable energy and recycled water while producing nearly zero waste.
•At the Casa Grande plant, we’ve implemented technologies to recycle water, generate electricity and steam from renewable energy sources, achieved LEED certification and succeeded in sending nearly zero waste to the landfill.
•At all of our facilities, we reuse our shipping cartons up to six times before recycling them to help reduce waste. All Frito-Lay manufacturing plants are striving to divert at least 99% of waste from landfills.
•Frito-Lay added 1,200+ fuel-efficient Sprinter vehicles to its fleet along with converting 650 sales cars to hybrid vehicles to help reduce emissions. Now, we’re even using all electric route delivery trucks in some of our metropolitan markets.
· For more than a decade, Frito-Lay North America has been committed to reducing the use of key major resources and the company’s overall environmental footprint, with the goal of: reducing water use by 75%; natural gas by 50%; electricity by 45% and fuel by 50% - all by 2020. Our environmental sustainability milestones at the Casa Grande plant are certainly helping us make progress on these goals.
· Through the “Near Net Zero” project, Frito-Lay has gone further than any other U.S. food manufacturer in taking a production facility nearly “off the grid”.
My thoughts-As you enjoy a bag of your favorite chips, remember the Frito Lay is doing good for our enviroment, and our future. These are the chips I enjoy. And I am glad that Frito Lay is making changes to help the enviroment we all live in. They also have a Chip in for Change program which donates $0.02 per bag collected (all Frito-Lay brands and sizes are included) to a school or non-profit organization chosen by each Chip Bag Brigade. Recycling and helping a area schools, I like that.

Pregnancy Diaries ~ Milk Nursingwear Review and Giveaway***CLOSED***
Her inspiration for Milk came after the birth of her first daughter in 1997. Early on she was introduced to the concept of nursingwear. While she loved the discretion and ease that nursing clothing provided, she did not love the dowdy styling. She wanted to feel attractive and fashionable and believed her clothing should reflect that.
So in June 2000, armed with entrepreneurial spirit, her MBA, experience as a Bloomingdale's buyer and a Marketing Manager, She realized her vision by launching a line of fashion-forward nursingwear. After seven successful years of running that company and bringing fashionable nursingwear to women the world over, She is doing it again now with Milk - better than ever before.

Pregnancy Diaries ~ Week 28
How am I feeling?
I am tired. This last trimester is the one I was dreading the most, and now I see why. I actually am so tired when I hit the bed, I knock out. And when I wake up, I feel like a thousand bricks fell on me. My bones hurt really bad. And not to mention that my feet will not go back to normal. This morning my shows don't even fit. The ones I bought for this pregnancy, one size bigger, with all the cushion, and padding.
How is baby girl?
Her moves are getting more and more visible. Even though she plays hide and go seek with everyone who tries to feel her. Daddy has felt her power a couple of times now. He loves to wake her up, and get her all worked up. it is cute to see them play together.
News?
I am in my bestfrieed's wedding that is in 2 weeks, and I am the Maid of Honor. This weekend was the bachelorette weekend, and I am so glad that is over with. I still have not received my dress, that needs to be severely doctored to fit my 7 month pregnant self. I am trying not to stress over that but we will see how long I can stay this calm.
Dr Visits?
I have a check up scheduled this week with my OB/GYN. We will see what the doctor says. I know I have to go see the Fetal Specialist again but they have not called to schedule my appointment. Can't wait to see baby girl again.
Well until next update...

Univision's Lourdes Stephen by Pantene & CoverGirl @ Magia De La Moda
Makeup artist Jessica Rivera tells us how she managed Lourdes’ look backstage using COVERGIRL:
· Afterwards, I covered her skin with a light layer of COVERGIRL & OLAY Simply Ageless Foundation (#255) and then used the COVERGIRL Clean Pressed Powder (Normal Skin, #165) to reduce the brightness of her skin in order to prepare her for the catwalk lighting and camera flashes.
· For her lips, I simply added COVERGIRL Shine Blast Lip Gloss (#800) in Glow.
· For her eyes, since Lourdes loves to highlight her eyes and her long eyelashes, in order to achieve the smoky eye look I used COVERGIRL Intense ShadowBlast (#800) in Beige Blaze and COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows color palette (#222) in Drama Eyes.
· I then outlined her eyes gently with COVERGIRL LiquilineBlast Eye Liner in Black Fire and finally used the COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion mascara in Very Back to make her eyes more striking.
· Join “My CoverGirl” at www.facebook.com/covergirl
Hair by Televisa’s hair styling team using PANTENE:
· The team of stylists created a voluminous and loose waves look to complement the dress and makeup.
· Before drying the hair they used Pantene Heat Protection & ShineSpray from the Medium to Thick collection.
· Then they created open waves using a wide pincer and finally sprayed Pantene’s Medium to Thick Anti-Humidity Hairspray to control moisture and give lasting shine to her hair.

Never Give Up: How to Find Hope and Purpose in Adversity Book Review and Giveaway***CLOSED***
I want to share a new book Never Give Up: How to Find Hope and Purpose in Adversity (Cypress House, Sept 2011), the story a 14-year-old’s courage and unwavering optimism through brain cancer, and the legacy of community service she left behind.
Meeting the need for “normal”Let It Be foundation helps families through life-threatening diagnosis by restoring a sense of normalcy LOS ANGELES – When Ruthe Rosen’s family learned that 14-year-old Karla had an inoperable brain tumor, they did what any family facing life-threatening illness would do: they put their normal lives on hold, sought the best doctors, solicited prayers, and clung to hope. Karla’s year long cancer fight evoked a community-wide outpouring of love, support, media coverage, and magical moments. She received private guitar lessons from James Valentine of Maroon 5, got to meet her hero pro-surfer and Soul Surfer author Bethany Hamilton, was given a $2500 shopping spree, and got a surprise room makeover worthy of a TV special. But more than any of those wishes granted in her final year, all she really wanted was to “be normal.” In Karla’s memory, her parents, Ruthe and Michael, founded The Let It Be Foundation™ (www.theletitbefoundation.org), a nonprofit organization that helps restore a sense of normalcy during life-threatening pediatric illness. A source of ongoing support not just for the sick child but also for the entire family, The Let It Be Foundation partners with families as they battle the most serious illnesses, because when a child is sick, the entire family is rocked. When illness strikes, medical expenses can overwhelm a once financially stable family, not to mention a family already living day-to-day. The stress and financial strain can damage even a strong marriage, and siblings are left feeling despair and loneliness as all of the family’s attention centers on the sick child. That’s why the foundation works to meet families’ everyday needs with housekeeping, grocery shopping, lawn care, meals, and transportation, sibling play dates and family outings. Through donations and private funding, they help with the normal day-to-day activities that get lost in the process. They also created a Youth Leadership Program to help the sick children they serve feel like normal kids again. Drawing on local student volunteers to give back to the community, members of the Youth Leadership Program befriend the kids, take them to local baseball games, bring them cards and handmade gifts, and hold fundraisers for special projects like Room Enhancements. The students work with local designers and construction companies who volunteer their services, making sure the rooms are kid-approved. Ruthe hopes The Let It Be Foundation will serve as a national model for community service. “If your heart’s desire is to help someone in need, just do it, and know you are making a difference,” she says.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR- Ruthe Rosen’s book, Never Give Up: How to Find Hope and Purpose in Adversity, passes on the meaningful lessons she learned from living with her daughter Karla’s cancer. It is a remarkable story of faith, hope, and joy in the face of the unimaginable. RUTHE ROSEN (www.rutherosen.com) is a family advocate, speaker and author. She is the cofounder and CEO of The Let It Be Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps families with children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. She shares her journey as a public speaker to healthcare professionals and to parents and families coping with a sick loved one. She has been recognized for her community service with many accolades. She was named the 2010 MLB and People Magazine “All Star Among Us,” and in 2009 received a “Making a Difference for Women Award” and an award for “Outstanding Citizens of the Year.” She lives in Chino Hills with her husband, Michael, and their two boys.
My thoughts-There are not enough words in the dictionary for a mother's love for a child. I am have a 10 yr old son, and am currently pregnant with my Lil Bit. And I would do anything for my kids. Life throws us challenges at times, and it is hard for us as adults to understand. Can you imagine a child? What they feel and what they are going through? The issues and dilemas they are dealing with. This book does just that. It gives us a view. It shows how strong a person or persons can be. And that sometimes, just being Normal is not that bad. It really made me reflect on my life, my challenges (which are not so bad compared to others), and the way I see and enjoy.

Essentials Feet TreatMint Foot Lotion Review
Essentials Feet TreatMint Foot Lotion has all the robust soothing action of a visit to the spa, available at the cost of your usual care product. With peppermint, menthol, and camphor oils, Essentials Foot Lotion is an invigorating foot therapy; moisturizing and working deep to help your feet unwind. With a collagen-rich formula, the Foot Lotion helps your feet stay young and pliable. Stanley Home is here to assist in all aspects of home care, and the Foot Lotion is just one small part of that.
My thoughts-I am 28 weeks pregnant and my feet are swollen!!!! They need someone or something to the rescue. But who can afford to hire someone to massage your feet everyday. I know I can't but I wish I could. My loving husband does take care of this for me since he feels so sorry for my achy feet. Essentials Feet TreatMint Foot Lotion came to my rescue. It not only soothed my achy feet but it relaxed me from the scent. I could feel the lotion soothing my feet. I may still have swollen feet everyday but now I have something to relieve my achyness.
Disclosure-I received sample product to review. These are my honest opinions.

Pregnancy Diaries - Wink Shapewear
So I am currently pregnant with baby #2, and this one is really taking me places I have not ever been before. Just look at the before I was pregnant..
I am already hitting number on the scale that I have never seen before and with my doctor putting me on such high risk. I cannot exercise at all. And now with the Placenta Previa, I am supposedly scheduled to have a C-section. My 1st was born natural and I really want this baby to be natural. But for my baby's well being I do not care what the doctors have to do as long as my baby is safe, and healthy at birth. So I am planning on going back into my size small (4/6). I have battled the scale before and am need of something to hold it all in and help me take care of myself at the same time.
I am gonna share a secret weapon with you...shhhhh
wink - the original medical-grade compression & shape wear
Slims you down | Improves power and performance | Enhances skin tone | Keeps you cool and dry | Kills bacteria |
How Does Wink Medical Shapewear Slim More Than Spanx®?
The results of 15 years of scientific textile research, our patented, F5 ComfortWeave fabric delivers the highest level of slimming power available. In fact, world renowned French plastic surgeon Dr. Yves-Gerard Illouz, M.D. found that only fabric with the pressure range between 17 to 20 mm Hg (found in our F5 fabric) delivers true slimming benefits such as the reduction of the appearance of cellulite.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING | The need for tissue compression following a c-section or normal delivery is caused by the trauma and insult to the underlying body structures involved. Muscles, blood vessels, lymphatic channels, and connective fibers attaching skin to deeper structures can all be altered, severed, bruised, or damaged during pregnancy, labor, and birth.
Bruising, edema, swelling of the uterus and discomfort are the results of this trauma. The art of proper post-pregnancy compression can assist in lessening these post-delivery conditions and further reducing the risk of possible complications, pooch bellies, loose skin, and pain. | Wearing a Wink™ Belly Wraps slimming garment post-delivery you will see your body bouncing back to shape faster. |
My thoughts-I have tried several shapewears in my past. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 4. And none of them seem to be backed with such compression. I can't wait to deliver my baby girl and start getting back in shape. I like the support this underwear will be able to give me after my C-section. I have not seen anything like it before for C-sections. It is contoured for my shape. One of my co-workers had to be admitted back into the hospital because her C-section opened back up. She had no support from her underwear and had her recovery time doubled.
***disclosure-No monetary compensation was received. I received a product sample to review. These are my honest thoughts and opinions. Your experience may be different than my own.
