What a trip?! Puerto Rico was an experience to say the least. Between the eclectic ice cream colored abodes, vivacious natives and white sand beaches, I must give it two thumbs up. Jogging my memory, the only downfall was the scattered showers throughout my stay. I skipped the watered down version of tourism and went all in. I got the “authentic” native-style experience by opting to stay with my best friend’s family up in the lush mountains of Guaynabo.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Waking up to the island’s favorite amphibian amigo, the Coqui frog and its melodious “riiiiiibit riiiiiibit”, followed by neighborhood roosters and mangoes falling fresh off the trees onto the roof reminded me every morning of one thing: Houston was a far cry away. Wooo Saaahhh. I wouldn’t be making a mad dash out my front door to beat rush hour traffic fixing my hair on the drive into the office with a cup of coffee in one hand and laptop in the other all while listening to voicemails and going through mild bouts of road rage in Houston traffic. Nope, not this week. This was a week of pure, unadulterated nature up close and personal.</span><br />

The locals mesh up for a short order menu of goodies made from scratch like chicken tacos, alcapurrias, and bacalaitos, finished off with what else, Medalla, the Puerto Rican beer of champs. What is an alcapurria? What is a bacalaito? Hmmm. Let’s see. An alcapurria is the equivalent of cooked taco meat mixed with plantains lightly battered and deep fried. Yep, you heard it right DEEP FRIED! No taco shell, no tortilla, no bread to break the monotony. Just full on BEEF. Yeah, it was 1000 miles past hearty to say the least. Not my favorite island delicacy but hey, I’m in PR, I’m a tourist. I will try anything once. Now the bacalaito on the other hand was more my speed. Imagine flaky white fish, finely chopped, beer battered and flash fried. Not heavy. Tasty, just right and light.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjsCPUT0F0hkMH1vGNVAVqk-wMUBCuVgoFwSUo21x-AedRYaN2dOt6bjTxCA_WbZNSmsrzHvfhV7mzavKhPwCJcm9RQZmwpjqVxXIgCMgtPwWlF4NzQymrSCf4J55oCXgNSMJ3OFkmTc/s400/set.JPG" t$="true" width="400" /></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A little sightseeing. A little bar hopping. A little sun bathing and a ton of photos. Oh yes, while there we held a product photo shoot on the beautiful Manati beach right before sunset. We couldn’t have picked a more picturesque place than the lovely island of Puerto Rico. The people treated me good, the music was jamming and the drinks were nothing short of epic.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Aside from the relentless mosquitoes that mistook me for an all you can eat buffet, I thoroughly enjoyed my moment to get away from it all.

It is an American holiday celebrated in the United States and is also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. Juneteenth is the exploration and celebration of African American history and heritage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22nd 1862 and its effective date was the first day in 1863. Texas was resistant to the Emancipation Proclamation. It wasn’t until June 18th and June 19th 1865 when General Gordon Granger and 2K troops arrived in Galveston, TX. Their purpose was to take possession of Texas and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. He read the contents of General Order No. 3 which was that all slaves were free. It is been an official state holiday in Texas since 1980. Out of the entire United States only 39 of them recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some of the traditions to celebrate Juneteenth include the public reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, families have reunions and exchange ancestry artifacts, sing traditional songs such as <em>Swing Low, Sweet Chariot</em> and <em>Lift Every Voice and Sing</em>, read poetry from famous African American authors such as Maya Angelou, parades, rodeos, cookouts, and park parties.</span><br />

Well NBA Playoffs are hot right now and it could go either way. With Game 5 on and the series tied, it's nerve wrecking! All the men are glued to the televisions and unless females are sports fans we're pretty sure they looking for something to do. Well get down with your man ladies cause we're going to tell you who <strong>YOU </strong>need to be watching on the court *wink wink*</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Miami Heat is up first just cause they won the first game so we're going to give them dibs. Lebron James is all everyone talks about so we're going to skip that and move on to the most consistent player in the playoffs, Chris Bosh! Obviously he wears jersey #1 and he is one of the tallest ones on the team! Dwayne Wade we think is the sexiest one one the team. Come on now he's dating one of America's biggest sweethearts Gabrielle Union! Can't go wrong with that! Dwayne Wade is the only member of the Redeem Team who originally started with Miami. This will be Miami's 2nd Finals with Wade. Funny how they're playing the Dallas Mavericks because Chris Bosh was born and raised in Dallas, Texas!</span><br />

Last time they made it to the finals was in 2006 and they lost and to none other than the Miami Heat. Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry were a part of the team together then and now again. Jason Terry believes so much that they will win he already got a tattoo of the championship trophy! They have both played consistently and through hardships. Dirk has a minor injury and was suffering from a fever at Game 4!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">So keep an eye out on these hot on the court players and cheer your favorite team on. We'll never tell who's our favorite ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Enjoy the playoffs!</span><br />

For starters, it’s June and means TWO things: we’ve made it half way through this whirlwind year and I will be celebrating another blessed year on this earth! Plans? You bet! After years of being relentlessly taunted by my BFF about being a workaholic, I will be taking a real vacation for the very first time in over 5 years, yeah FIVE YEARS to none other than Puerto Rico! Sounds crazy but where did the time go. Somewhere between body butters and baby oils, I seem to have lost myself amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life and its natural progression when you give it all you’ve got. After years of hosting and sponsoring endless events, charities and galas I am finally taking a moment to WOOSAW…and it feels great. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> As with many chicks on a mission, we always place ourselves last. Always quick to grow another tentacle like an octopus for a “just in case you need me” kinda moment. In all honesty I ponder, as women how exactly DO we out live men again?! Honey let me tell you, “me time” is so necessary. A dip in the pool, an hour massage, an unexpected girlfriend getaway or just a few relaxing moments stargazing at night with a delicious cocktail in tow. The beauty of it all is there is beauty in all of us if we just take a moment to find it. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This month, we’ve got a jam packed month of nonstop fabulousness, kicking off with an exciting Honey Highlight featuring Courtni Martin. Honey Highlight features up close and personal interviews of business owners across the nation giving us the inside scoop on their industry. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day?! Sure is and we are going to give you a delicious recipe to get your day started right. Summer fun in the sun is only fun when your skin is protected. Get the breakdown on the importance of sunscreen and which brands weigh in as champions of skin protection. Look out for festive Juneteenth events, NBA playoff updates and enter to win our Father’s Day giveaway!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: purple;"> Always remember, if you’ve got it flaunt it and for God’s sake whatever you do never apologize for being fabulous. Be grateful, be blessed, be happy. </span></span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I previously stated that Memorial Day was the kick-off to summer but that isn’t the real meaning about why we celebrate this holiday every year. Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Memorial Day was previously known as Decoration Day and it was first endorsed by formerly enslaved African-Americans to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War. The first time this day was observed was in May 30, 1868 when 5K people helped decorate the gravesites of 20K Union and Confederate soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery. After WWI it was decided that Memorial Day should be for all fallen U.S. Service members from all the American wars.<br />
<br />
Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday in 1971. People now honor the military personnel with different type of celebrations such as parades, family get-togethers, and fireworks. Many people observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place every year at Arlington National Cemetery at 3pm.<br />

In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. Contrary to widespread popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico, which occurs on September 16th.</span></span><br />
