Since Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close on October 15th (yes, it’s super weird, but it takes place from September 15th through October 15th rather than unfolding during a single designated calendar month), I thought it was only fitting to celebrate another beauty brand that has flourished largely thanks to the creative vision of one of its founders.
Now that fall has officially arrived, it’s time to take a hard look at any damage incurred by our strands, hair, and teeth during those steamy months we spent frolicking in the sun, splashing in the ocean, wading in the pool, and sipping on refreshing iced teas and fruity cocktails.
It’s officially Hispanic Heritage Month and, as a proud puertorriqueña, I was beyond excited to stop by “Great Day Houston” and chat about some must-have, game-changing products from beauty brands founded by Latinos and Latinas.
Here’s a harrowing piece of information: once you’re in your 20s, your lips begin to lose collagen at a rate of about 1-2% per year and, to make make matters worse, collagen production slows down drastically, eventually leading to your once-supple pout losing volume and fine lines appearing on your lips’ surface, all of which can result in creating a puckered look.

According to Sue Monk Kidd, the author of The Secret Life of Bees, “Stories have to be told or else they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.” This quote kept popping into my head as I chatted on the phone with Nyakio Kamoche Grieco, founder of the prestige natural skincare line nyakio (pronounced Neh-kay-oh).
This Sunday, August 26th, we’ll be celebrating Women’s Equality Day so, on that note, I stopped by CBS Austin’s “We Are Austin” today to chat about some amazing female-founded brands that have really changed the beauty landscape and earned legions of fans in the process.
In honor of National Relaxation Day, I stopped by CBS Austin’s “We Are Austin” today to talk about all the ways we can pamper ourselves and unwind.
What’s more appealing when tasting a cupcake: the sponginess and moistness of the cake itself or the sweet and creamy flavor of the frosting on top?
Come late June, we all start to share the same type of images: reading a lighthearted book while laying on a hammock suspended between palm trees; splashing along the seashore, giddy with excitement over the sensation of sand in between our toes toes and the saltiness of the sea breeze kissing our skin; lounging on a giant-sized pool float with a refreshing fruity cocktail in one hand; watching the sunset from a wooden pier dock, the breathtaking blood orange, rusty red, tangerine, coral, and sepia tones making our hearts skip a beat.
