Cinco De mayo

Cinco de Mayo is annually observed for May 5. It celebrates the defeat of the French army during the Battle of Puebla (Batalla de Puebla) in Mexico on May 5, 1862. 

Cinco de Mayo is seen as a day to celebrate the culture, achievements and experiences of people with a Mexican background, who live in the United States. There is a large commercial element to the day, with businesses promoting Mexican services and goods, particularly food, drinks and music. Other aspects of the day center around traditional symbols of Mexican life, such as the Virgin de Guadalupe, and Mexican-Americans who have achieved fame, fortune and influence in the United States.

This year we decided to celebrate. We usually just go out for Mexican food. But, this year a friend and i planned a pool party with close friends. It was so fun. We did it potluck style and everyone brought something to share. We had so many yummy items. Mini burritos, pork tacos, fruit kabobs, homemade salsa , homemade guacamole , Jarriots drinks - these are yummy mexican sodas and  we had lots of other yummy items. Everyone went swimming, we talked and we even had a pinata. The kids loved it and we all loved it too. Really i love any excuse to have a party!! 
Here are photos from the party!!

I created this cute Cinco De Mayo set up for any party too. All items are from Party City and the yummy beverages are Jarritos. There are so many yummy Jarriots flavors - here are some --  Mandarin, Lemon, pineapple and Fruit Punch. They have lots Jarritos became the most popular soft drink in the U.S. among Latino consumers and everyone else in the USA who loves it!! 

You can purchase them here - They are so good. Everyone loved them!! 






OogieBear

Recently I have been able to do some reviews for a few new, & awesome baby / kid products. The first one that I am going to talk about this month is the oogiebear ! You are probably asking yourself what is a Oogiebear??! I said the same thing ? Haha a Oogiebear has a loop end that’s great for sticky, rubbery boogers, and a scoop end for safely removing the dried ones. oogiebear is perfect for little ears too. It’s made of soft, grippy rubber that’s easy to hold. Isn't that pretty amazing?? I think so. 

I love that it is a bear head’s design. That just makes it super cute!  The design prevents the oogiebear from going too far into baby’s nose and ears. Your baby / child will breathe easier and so will you. I love that. I always worry about things going to far in my babies / kids nose or ears. 
All in all this product was great for us. Especially during allergy season. Noah, Noah has allergies so bad and always has those stubborn boogies i cant seem to get. 
Here is a photo of the oogiebear! Make sure you check out the link here as well and grab one for you and your cute babies !! 





Bioesque Beauty

Recently I have started using Bioesque Beauty. It is seriously amazing. Yes I was gifted these products to do a review and share them with all of you. But, this is one thing i am so, so, so happy I found. I know all of you will love them too!!
These are affordable at home skincare products. Here is some infomation about each product that is offered from Bioesque Beauty. 


Bioesque Beauty is best known for there at home skincare treatments, which deliver the same clinical benefits as a professional treatment – when and where you want it. Its totally true. I did my Energizing Foot scrub the other night. My feet felt amazing!! 

The Energizing Foot Scrub contains ingredients sure to leave your feet feeling silky, soft, and refreshed. You simply clean your feet, apply the scrub (massaging as you go), give the ingredients some time to do their job and voila! This product reduces the appearance of coarse skin, and leaves feet looking refreshed. Apricot seed powder, walnut seed extract and various other ingredients work together to leave you and your feet feeling refreshed and clean. They smell amazing ! 
The Exfoliating Foot Peel is another easy and safe skincare treatment intended for your feet. Using the provided pair of foot peel booties and one pair of slip-free socks, you just cleanse your feet, place the booties on your feet one foot at a time, leave them on for 90 minutes (letting the ingredients work to remove dry skin, calluses, and cracked heels), rinse and you are done. Arnica extract, lactic acid and refreshing jasmine scent all work together to begin the peeling process. Four to six days after, your feet will peel, leaving you soft, refreshed feet. So freaking amazing! I love that you can do this at home! 
I love getting pedicures. They are so relaxing and fun! But, it becomes very expensive to keep up with. Especailly when my husband wants one, and both little boys haha. 
And in AZ when you need to get them often because you wear flip flops and sandals because of the heat. My feet get so dry, so cracked and yucky. So these awesome products have been great for me to use in between my pedicure services. You need to get some of these abd try them out. Make a little spa night for yourself and include these. You will love them. I sure do!!

Hope you enjoy them as much as i do! xoxo- Andrea Maya

Mommy & Me time with JORD- A MOTHERS day giveaway

Mothers are so special with a very special love. They are always there when you need them the most. I feel that way about my wonderful mother. I am so lucky to have her. She has always been there for me when I need her. She is my best friend and I love spending time with her. I have so many wonderful memories with my mom and I love it. I love that we still remain close even though I am older and we live apart. I hope to be able to carry on the same loving relationship to my 2 beautiful boys. Being a mom is my favorite thing in the entire world. I love to teach them, play with them and create memories with them. Soon they will be grown and away from mama. I hope they will always come and visit me a lot and continue to love me so. Only time will tell i guess!!??
