More often than not, our Latina mothers are lone warriors, women who have had to take on a troop of children, a household, and multiple simultaneous jobs. Sadly, our culture is filled with marriages that don’t work out and women who roll up their sleeves and face life with priceless courage. Their wisdom is today one of the most important… View Post
Our family is one of the most important pillars in our lives. Although sometimes circumstances force us to be far away, our mothers and grandmothers are always with us in our thoughts. Unfortunately, sometimes with the accelerated lifestyle we lead, it is difficult for us to keep in touch with them — either for lack of money to travel or… View Post
It is almost unfathomable to try to imagine the daily steps of your own mother until becoming one yourself. It is then that you realize that mothers encompass many things; they are strength, love, and pain all in one. That isn’t to say that we don’t take into account the daughters who have had problematic relationships with their own mothers…. View Post
When many people begin to explore the world of makeup, the most concerning aspects of the products being chosen are if they’re inexpensive, if they match our skin tones, and if they give us the “look” we’re going for. Little do many of us think of the harm that comes from testing products on live animals. When we stroll through… View Post
This is a sponsored partnership between Target.com and LatinaMoms.com Ah. Indoor plants — our other set of children. Aren’t we right? They look so beautiful spread out through our homes, but, boy, do they require attention. Honestly, the only difference between plants and kids is that the plants won’t talk back. (Just kidding) Having a green thumb is not as easy as… View Post
This is a sponsored partnership between Target.com and LatinaMoms.com We all love fashion, that is true! When we like something, we grab it! Yet, there are many articles of clothing, beauty products and shoes that may come from not-too-“responsible” sources when it pertains to origins, materials, waste, etc. that directly impacts our Mother Earth. But hey, you don’t have to sacrifice style… View Post

Every time we buy a product or pay for a service, we are making economic decisions that affect us and our environment; this implies that we must be responsible, and do it consciously. So the question is: when you spend your money, do you really know what you spend it on and the implications that your consumption choices bring? Being… View Post
Instagram can be a magical place. It shines a light on different aesthetics, can be humorous, and it’s great to look at food recipes. This social media vortex can also be a great place to get some inspiration on home decor trends. In fact, it has plenty of profiles that are tailored specifically to your vision. However, with time against… View Post
The world — our home — seems to be suffering plenty lately. To top it all off, the reminders are constant. (Have you watched Seaspiracy already?) It is evident that our planet and our environment need help, but how can we TRULY work towards a solution? Though there are various ways to nurture Earth, we can start by educating our… View Post
Sometimes we are so busy with the day-to-day — work, partner, friends, or family — that we find it difficult to stop for a moment and have a “me time,” pamper ourselves and take care of our mind and body. When we take that time and ‘connect’ with ourselves, either through exercise, meditation or relaxation, we feel how our energy… View Post
