HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

For the second year in a row, Babushka was honored to be named “a top Latino digital influencer” and is headed to the LATISM16 conference in Orlando this October. LATISM stands for” Latinos in Tech Innovation & Social Media and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment of the Latino community in the areas de educacion, health, technology y business through the use of Tech innovation and Social Media.” Their goal is to “share best practices,  reach Latino(a)s in the digital space, and  build the pipeline of  tech innovators.  Together we are igniting Latino(a)s to drive the innovation economy." And they are Beautifuls, they are!

The impact of Latinos, especially when banded together and highlighted is a bella and powerful thing.  Thanks to LATISM and other like minded organizations, Latinos are getting heard and paid attention to, but we need more of us to bring new ideas and insights, more potencia and potential, more volume to our voices. This is a particularly crucial time; this is the year politics is priming to either elevate or eradicate the Latino existence in our nation.  Join us in our rally for acknowledgement and advancement.

October  19-21 LATISM will be having their conference at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.  Un lugar perfecto to celebrate our accomplishments and unite on our futures, especially since it’s in our state!  If you’ve wanted to visit Disney World and at the same time make a change in this world, now’s the time for that twofer. If you’ve ever wanted to voice your opinions, learn what that voice could do, and/or learn about topics you could help with, this is the conference to attend. Social Good is a very important part of this mission, and as our numbers grow in the US, we have more potencial in helping ourselves and others.  Babushka would love to see all of you be part of this movement and partake in the conference, por eso te doy el codigo  INFLUENCER16 to get a 30% discount.

Can BB get an ESO!!! http://conference.latism.org/home

Look forward to being a voice for Latinos and hoping you’ll join in the chorus.

And to those who want to silence us?

 JU SO FONII!!  

Nos vemos Octubre 19 en Disney.

Look out DC, Que Pa' Ya Va BB!! LATISM'15

"LATISM15 brings together the top leaders and influencers in the space.  Our goal is to share best practices,  reach Latino(a)s in the digital space, and  build the pipeline of  tech innovators.  Together we are igniting Latino(a)s to drive the innovation economy."

If you could lobby in DC what cause would it be? Cual de los siguientes son especiales pa' ti?  Education,Health,Technology,Civic Engagement,Diversity & Inclusion,Business, and National Policy are the starred topics. LATISM15 proposes to instruct top Latino Influencers on how to better organize and project their passions and beliefs and then introduce them to other influencers and lawmakers who can further their causes. This year Babushka was invited to attend as a Top Latina Influencer because of her #StopTheStigma campaign, a campaign hoping to address and eradicate the imensa ignorancia and taboo in our community when it comes to Mental illness. Like BB, influencers on all the above topics will attend to be instructed and guided.

This nation's capitol, our nation's capitol will be the school for over 50 Latino Influencers and a group of hispanic students for the Latino Youth Summit. The goal is to learn,share, and support each other as we strive to have our issues- LATINO issues focused on. LATISM is a group of Latinos who have worked and lobbied for our rights,advancements and inclusion for years. Babushka is humbled and honored to have been chosen, proving that one is never too old to dream and make a difference.

Que cambio would you like to see, and more importante- what are you doing to make it un realidad?

The @Vivemejor Miami Social Hour- Un Cuento Cubantime.

Would you call a fiesta gift/goody bag from a friend a "sponsored" event?? No verdad? PERO por sea- 

FTC these are BB's opinions, recollections, and pictures of the various items given during a brand party.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

Look at the Bella ViveMejor Products waiting for me when I got to La Tata's; they're the pairs BB forgot to take from the fiesta they had earlier this summer.  Quee?? Babushka didn't tell you about that fiesta?  Ok si, not really a surprise, pero let's rectify it ahorita mismo!!

First off, y'all know how much BB loves the gente of ViveMejor, so when they invite and Babushka is in town I do everything in my power to attend.  As a matter of fact, at the last moment my ride couldn't make it; undaunted and determined BB found the way to get there.

Arriving at the Delano South Beach Hotel, the event was at the Penthouse and at spa,Club Essentia.  

Those folks of ViveMejor really do know what BB likes.  

There were talks & demonstrations of beauty and food.

Mario Anton, Ana Quincoces

There were Manicures and Munchies.

There were friends and fun.

Mi Rey, Reynaldo Delgado of EdelmanMiami , Alexandra of LivingMoneyWise, Maricela of Emy Cooks

But most of all My Beautifuls-

Being Swallowed by Swag!!!

ViveMejor was so generous with their products we all left with bags filled to the tops.  Thankfully Maricela gave Babushka a ride to La Tata's, because there was no way BB could have taken all the bags on the bus. 

Quee?? Leave some behind???  JU SO FONII!!!

Not only were the products BUENISIMOS,

Red Carpet Manicure- Nail Art & DIY Gel Kit

Compensated Sponsored Ad with opinions by BB.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

Originally this post was on Feibu, but then Babushka realized not everyone is a Feibu Fanatic like BB so I decided to share it on my blog too.  Just as well, because now more people can enter the giveaway.  But first, the original post.

Now you know BB’s all about Plebian Pride, keeping it real and not having to work too hard at anything, so you’ll understand why I’m dancing about this. Remeber the post where Babushka adds some sparkly to her toes?  Bueno, it’s time for her to update her fingers too, with Nail Art!!

BB refuses to work double so I never really bothered with nail polish. Pa’ que??  It would be all nice and purdy for all of… 2 days- if Babushka was lucky.  Now the award winning Red Carpet Manicure, the first at-home LED gel manicure system, is gonna make it possible for a DIY professional looking manicure that lasts for weeks! ESO!!! BB’s soooo there.

So there you have it My Beautifuls- the original post. Ahora, so the powers of Google stay happy (as well as the sponsors) , I will add some words to the original posting. Not one to reinvent the wheel I share with you some points RCM wants y'all to know:

"Red Carpet Manicure, the first at-home LED gel manicure system, is all about the trend of DIY application, making gel polish easy and accessible.

 It’s made for women to do at home and it’s a celebrity favorite. Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, along with many others, have completed their red carpet looks with sophisticated and stylish Red Carpet Manicure nail art! With the brand’s wide array of nail art kits, nail appliqués and nail art tutorials, it’s super easy to add pizzazz to your nails.

 A leader in the nail art category, Red Carpet Manicure’s LED gel nail polish lasts for weeks with a fast, safe and easy application that guarantees a professional salon manicure without chipping or peeling. Just ask SELF, Health and Essence magazines, which have honored the brand with beauty awards while being named "Mass Launch of the Year" by Beauty Inc in 2012."
