No se if I need to "disclose" as this is more of a Gracias than a sponsored post-
pero por sea... we wouldn't want Tio Sam aka FCC mad at BB, would we?
And this post, it's all Babushka, all over the place.
HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!
After 2+ months in Miami, BB tries to summarize the many blessings encountered. Of course I can't do it all justice, and without pics,notes,brochures, the memory isn't coming up with todo, so before BB forgets, let's start with the last week. Quee?? JUSOFONII Ok si, Babushka does usually go backwards and against the norm doesn't she?? Pero you know what? That's what Oprah says makes us special, being true to ourselves. And I heard that straight from her. Oh Si BB did!!!
Gracias to the wonderful world of Orgullosa, the P&G division for Latinas, Babushka was able to attend Oprah's "The Life You Want " event in Miami. On to OTown BB went. With sombrilla in hand and bus pass ready, Sweetie & BB were set to experience the world of O.

OTown in Miami was next to the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami.
You can see my beloved Freedom Tower in the last pic.

And though Babushka doesn't "need" anyone's approval or consent to pursue my dreams,
a gentle note of validation is always nice.
