Frinally friday! 

 Hi all! Finally Friday! For those who work Monday to Friday like me means we are finally off to spend time with out family and friends, go out and for those summer lovers enjoy the weather. There is a lot going on this weekend, I heard that there is a disney cruise for toddlers in downtown Vancouver on Sunday, that I am dying to take Mia but we are heading to kits on Saturdays and my driving to vancouver is a loooot. Changing subjects, i’ve been feeling way better now that i’ve been paying attention to what I eat. I am using the 80/20 rule ( eat well 80% of your time and by well is eating what is good for you and your body and 20% cheat  foods). One of the things that I learned on my Wellness coach lessons was the individualism, that everybody is different and whatever can be medicine for me, can kill others. It is really true that when you start eating what your body needs your energy increses soo much as well as your mood. Myself I’m a snack person, I always have to be eating or drinking something, so lately I’ve been trying to get smart snacks like fruit and vegetables. Have you try those little carrots with himalayan pink salt anf tajin?!! If you haven’t try tajin YOU HAVE TO. You can find in any mexican store, is like sweet chilli powder! And it taste so damn good with fruit or veggies. Happy Friday everyone!

Where to go in Langley.. Greater Vancouver Zoo

Ok this visit was totally not planned. We were in our way to silver lake to spend some quality time with the nature, the weather wasn’t really hot on Sunday, in fact it was kinda cold ( and I was loving every minute of it) but we were already in the line up for the boarder. A day before we did a huuge line to cross the boarder and buy some cheap groceries ( seriously, I did 3 times my groceries here for only $100 USD ) i loove to support local but sometimes you just have to save some money. Anyways, while we were waiting in line I started complaining of how far the lake was, how late it would be when we come back and so on, so Francisco asked me if I wanted to go the zoo instead. I never heard about a Zoo close to my site, but I instandly became so excited because Mia is so into animals lately. When we arrived there, I was expeting some birds and maybe a bear, but I was surprise when they told me they have all this animals! Giraffe, lion, wolf, zebras, monkeys! We were so excited! Mia was screaming to them “come, come”. 


   I didn’t take my camera so as you can see not a very good quality pics with my iphone. But I was able to catch some shots to the lion’s training. This could be a very cool place for a birthday party! And they have little restaurants around, a big picnic area that I wished I could you. It was around 2 hours walk and we didn’t finish because it was Mia’s nap time, she managed to stay awake until almost 2 pm to see the animals lol! So if you decided to take a visit do not forget your comfy shoes and the stroller!! They also have a little train that you can take if you don’t like to walk, or you can rent family bikes!! It’s now my nap time! Seeyaa

My everyday MAC essentials! 

Hey guys! Today I want to share with you my everyday MAC essentials. I’ve been using MAC my whole life! I just love all their products! The studio fix is my everyday essential, I consider it as my cellphone lol! Something that I cannot leave my house without. I love it because is not as strong as liquid make up but still covers all the imperfections very well. Another essential for me is their black eyeliner. I’ve been trying tons of eyeliners in my life and there is no one better than the MAC ones. I usually use the pencil but if I have a special ocassion and I want to do my whole eye I will use the paste one. Lipsticks are another favourite for me, MAC has the must beautiful pinks and oranges ( those are my favourite colours for lipsticks). I also use their blush, even tho I really love Nars blush as well, This one from Rihanna for Mac is very nice! I rarely use my shadows, only for special ocassions, that’s why I have only basic colours, neutral and some pink and purple ( you can see how rare I use shadows by the ones that I still have lol! Seriously these shadows are from 10 years ago and I haven’t finish the half ). What are your makeup essentials?

Matchy matchy

Whaaat up yall! It’s been a long week and it’s only Monday lol! But I really wanted to post a pic of our matching jeans! I loooove when Mia and I dress a like! My jeans I bought them years ago no idea where, and I found Mia’s at childrens place. Lately I’ve been thinking alot about how much money I spend on Mia’s closet. You know? When I was pregnant I had this huuge amount of people giving me all the clothes that their babies were not using anymore, and I made the huuuge mistake of give it away. Use second hand clothes has never been in my life, I was feeling so bad just to think about it, so I bought lots and lots of new clothes for Mia. I don’t want to say it was a totally mistake, but it was a mistake. Now I regret all of this beautiful clothes that I gave away! Only if I knew that she would use all the stuff that I bought only once or twice! Now that I learned my lesson, I go to Once Upon a Child to buy Mia’s daycare clothes lol!! The thing is, in Mexico is not something common unless it was from your sister. But here in Canada I can see all the mommies they don’t really care, everyone is buying toys on craiglist or those groups on facebook, and the true is, it makes sense. I love to invest in something that I know she is going to use everyday like her summer shoes, or raining boots, a nice jacket, but daycare clothes? Who cares! She is going yo destroy it anyways. Mom’s to be, my advice is never say never! And keep your mind open! I know is so difficult specially when is your first baby and you want to spoiled her/him but they will not really care if they are using burberry or h&m lol! And they are gonna still spill milk and poop all of it! Anyways it’s night night time for me, sweet dreams!

Story time at Chapter Indigo! 

Hello loves! It’s been a busy week and I haven’t pay too much attention to my other baby ( my blog ), so sorry about that. We have some friends coming over, and today I’ve been on the streets trying to find a place with an AC. Seriously Vancouver is buuuuurning!! I am a winter person, but I know that as soon as winter comes we are not going to be able to do that much outside, so anyways,  I wanted to stay at home and have a peaceful saturday but it was impossible! It was too hot to breathe! So I decided to take Mia to story time at Chapter-Indigo and it was the best idea ever! I was able to have a rest while she was enjoying Curious george story, the temperature, the service, everything was right! I can’t believe I never knew that they do story time at chapters! Here in south surrey/white rock area is twice a month on Saturdays. And the best part? Mia got a book for FREE. Yesss!! I don’t know your baby but mine is obsessed with books! I am a fan of chapters, I usually go there to buy presents or if I want to buy some cool decor for my home. There was lots of toys with 60%off if you want to do your Christmas shopping! Anyways if you love around my area the next story time will be August 27 at 11 am! Have a great Sunday everyone!!

It’s all about me ID card..

A couple days ago, Mia’s daycare request me to bring an eartquake back, for emergencies cases. They asked me for an identitiy card and I was proudly prepare with one. Months ago I saw on facebook a post from a Mom who was saying how useful was this card for her, there was a contact name to where to request it and the info. So I did call and they said they will pay a visit to my home. I didn’t understand very well what was going on, so when my husband asked me I told him the police will come to our home to bring us one. It ended up being an insurance company who brought is the ID card lol! Trying to sale us some packages. Anyways, I got mia’s id card for free ( well, I had to listen for around 2 hours about insurance and stuff lol ). But really, in case of an emergency I think is the best thing to have, because you cannot think properly when does things happends, so you can just hang this card and it contains everything that the emergency crew would need. You don’t have to call these man, you can just make and print your own! Have a nice Tueday everyone!

Smoothie of the day.. 

I bought this Organic Greens product from Organika, as lately we haven’t eat much vegetables. Hubby and I we have been very busy working in our personal projects, so I don’t have that much time to cook. Usually when I want to add veggies to our diet I make smoothies, and usually I use Vega plant based protein, but I hear that is not very healthy to give protein to your baby, so this products is a perfect replacement. I just add a little spoon to Mia’s smoothies for extra nutrition ( I still add spinach and fruits to the shake ). One of my favourite restaurants to go in south surrey is call “healthy monkey”, and they have this delicious smoothie that I just replicate, it is all types of berries, 1 banana and the greens powder. It taste sooo good! You can buy the powder in there or you can find it in any health store ( wholefoods, natures fare, etc. ) have a great Monday!

Where to go for Sushi.. 

Omg you guys! I’m soo obsessed with this place! Seriously it feels soo good that after 6 years living in a city where you can find crappy sushi in every corner, I finally found the one!! I’ve been in so many places trying to find good quality sushi and this is just around the corner from my house. Today I went to the Grandview plaza ( south surrey/white rock area ) and I knew I had to come back again. I found this place last weekend when my family and I were biking around the area, but with Mia being annoying I didn’t have the time to take a pic but this time I made sure I did. I don’t remember the name of this roll, I think is call “special roll” something like that, but it is the biggest and delicious roll ever. Last time we also tried the bento box, tofu, miso soup everything was amazing! The place is very small, so I wouldn’t go with a big group, but if you go with 2 or 3 friends and after that you can go for a walk and do some shopping. It is call “sushi castle”. Here is another pic, sorry that it is not the best quality but I was alone with Mia once again lol! Happy Saturday everyone!
