Spooky Night

Hey Everyone,

   Happy Monday! I had the scariest night ever. I had never in my life experienced something so scary. I had gone to bed around 10 o'clock and I felt like I had just been sleeping for 15 minutes when out of the corner of my eye I saw a dark shadow. I always leave my bedroom door open because that's my way keeping an eye on the kids. And from the door I saw a dark shadow that gave out such a negative, evil vibe. The next thing I knew, the shadow was over my bed. It put his hand over my chest and it pushed down on me. I had so much fear in me that I couldn't move but to move my head towards my man who was sleeping right next to me. I tried to call out his name but I couldn't manage to say a single word. I was paralyzed!! I then realized that I was asleep and that's when I was able to wake myself. I then woke my man up and told him about the scary dream, I asked him to do a little prayer for me. I also said one as well and I was able to sleep through the night without further incidents. That dream so real that I was so scared to go back to sleep. It was so vivid and so dark that I the first thing after awaking was to call on Him for protection. Have you ever experienced an incident like that?

Xo Cari

Hola a todos,

   ¡Feliz lunes! Tuve la noche más temible. Nunca en mi vida había experimentado algo tan aterrador. Me había ido a la cama alrededor de las 10 y me sentí como si acababa de estar durmiendo durante 15 minutos cuando por el rabillo del ojo vi una sombra oscura. Siempre dejo la puerta de mi dormitorio abierta porque es mi manera de mantener un ojo en los niños. Y desde la puerta vi una sombra oscura que daba un ambiente negativo y malvado. Lo siguiente que supe fue que la sombra estaba sobre mi cama. Puso su mano sobre mi pecho y me empujó hacia abajo. Tenía tanto miedo en mí que no podía moverme sino mover mi cabeza hacia mi novio que estaba durmiendo justo al lado mío. Traté de llamar su nombre, pero no pude decir una sola palabra. Yo estaba paralizada! Entonces me di cuenta de que estaba dormido y fue entonces cuando pude despertarme. Entonces desperté a mi novio y le dije sobre el sueño asustadizo, le pedí que hiciera una pequeña oración para mí. También dije una oración y pude dormir toda la noche sin más incidentes. Ese sueño tan real que tenía tanto miedo de volver a dormir. Era tan vívido y tan oscuro que yo lo primero después de despertarme era invocarle para protección. ¿Alguna vez ha experimentado un incidente como ese?

Pushing Through the Challenges

Hey Loves,

    Every road in life will come with obstacles and challenges. Nothing will be easy. You will be CHALLENGED!! How are you gonna overcome obstacles in the road? How are you gonna handle arising situations? I know that my path ahead will come with a challenge but I have one person whom I trust and whom I know will be there the whole way. He is with me, He will strengthen me, He is here. This which I'm facing today, is a test of faith. I prepared for this moment and because of my preparation I believe that I will overcome. Just when you think that things are easy...you get another challenge. But this is just molding me into being something bigger. If you are going through some challenges of your own, what ever you believe is. Have faith, stay positive, that the universe will revela itself to you.

XO Cari


Hola Amores

     Cada camino en la vida vendrá con obstáculos y desafíos. Nada será fácil. ¡Usted será CHALLENGED !! ¿Cómo vas a superar los obstáculos en el camino? ¿Cómo vas a manejar situaciones que surjan? Sé que mi camino por delante vendrá con un desafío, pero tengo una persona en la que confío y que sé que estará allí todo el camino. Él está conmigo, Él me fortalecerá, Él está aquí. Esto que estoy enfrentando hoy, es una prueba de fe. Me preparé para este momento y debido a mi preparación creo que voy a superar. Justo cuando usted piensa que las cosas son fáciles ... usted consigue otro desafío. Pero esto es sólo el moldeo de mí en ser algo más grande. Si usted está pasando por algunos desafíos de su cuenta, lo que nunca crees que es. Tener fe, permanecer positivo, que el universo se revela a ti.

Beast Mode!

Hey Loves,

      Sitting here I am realizing that I am able to work and push my crafts even more when Im being challenged by another individual. I will settle into my comfort zones very easily but if someone says something negative or does something negative towards me, I have noticed that I bring out the beast inside and I push. I use actions and results to show those people that are I can do anything I set my ming to. I was told when I was younger, that I soon as I had kids I would loose my body. Look at me now. Momma of two and still looking good and all because one person engraved that negative remark into my brain. Negative comments will only fuel me.

How do you deal with negative people, negative comments or just people who can't stand to see your shine?

xo Cari

Hey Amores,

       Sentada aquí me doy cuenta de que soy capaz de trabajar y empujar mis artes aún más cuando estoy siendo desafiado por otro individuo. Me instalo en mis zonas de comodidad muy fácilmente, pero si alguien dice algo negativo o hace algo negativo hacia mí, he notado que traigo a la bestia dentro y empujo. Utilizo las acciones y los resultados para mostrar a esas personas que soy puedo hacer cualquier cosa. Por ejemplo, me dijo una señora cuando era más joven, que cuando yo tuviera niños se pierderia mi cuerpo. Mirame ahora, Mamá de dos y todavía se ve bien y todo porque una persona grabó esa comentario negativo en mi cerebro. Comentarios negativos sólo me alimentan.

¿Cómo tratar con personas negativas, comentarios negativos o simplemente personas que no pueden soportar ver su brillo?

Scorpio

Hello

     Have you ever read your horoscope sign description and realized you fit right into its description. I do!!!

Im a Scorpio.

    As a scorpio I am very isolated, I keep to myself because I don't trust people easily. I expect for that person who I've open up to, to not repeat what I said to others. A scorpio takes loyalty very seriously and can't tolerate too-faced people. I don't understand how some people will talk so much negativity about one person and then turn around and shower them with love. It's just puzzling to me. A scorpio has but one side and what ever side your on, you'll definitely know. There is no in between with me, do me dirty once and the wall comes up. I don't talk much but I do observe and over time I get to know you through your action more than through your words. I can be very loyal just as long as you don't betray me.

You gonna be my friend, I expect you to be just that...a friend.

What sign are you?

Xo Cari



Hola

Has leído alguna vez la descripción de tu signo horóscopo y te has dado cuenta de que encajas bien en su descripción. ¡¡¡yo si!!!

Soy una Escorpión.

     Como un escorpión estoy muy aislado, me guardo a mí mismo porque no confío en la gente fácilmente. Espero que esa persona a la que me he abierto, no repita lo que le dijo en confianza a otros. Un escorpio toma la lealtad muy en serio y no puede tolerar a las personas de dos cara. No entiendo cómo algunas personas hablarán tanta negatividad acerca de una persona y luego dan la vuelta y los llenan con amor. Es sólo desconcertante para mí. Un escorpión tiene solamente un lado y lo que siempre el lado su encendido, usted sabrá definitivamente. No hay en medio conmigo, me sucio una vez y la pared sube. No hablo mucho, pero observo y con el paso del tiempo llego a conocerle a través de su acción más que a través de sus palabras. Puedo ser muy leal, siempre y cuando no me traiciones.

Vas a ser mi amiga, espero que seas solo eso ... un amigo.

¿Qué signo eres tú?

COLD Brrrr!

Hello Loves,

     It's now been a week and two days and I still can't get over this sickness. I ended up with a cold last Tuesday and I still can't shake this off. This year I have gotten sick a total of 3 times which is way to much. I tend to get sick, real sick only once a year. WAAAAAH!!! Even with this cold (and Mother Nature) I have been able to push through my workouts. Im gonna be honest, I feel my body right now asking me for a break. She'll get one, a slit one at least. LOL. I just a can't stop, Im addicted . This weather ain't helping either. 

What's your addiction?

Xo, Casi

Hola Chicas,

Que es tu adiccion?

Besos,

You Gotta Do YOU!!!

Hello Babes,

       Life is precious, life is short, life is what ever you want it to be. Over this last year I have learned so much about myself. one being a people pleaser. Till this day I find myself still doing it even thou I have sworn to do only ME. It’s hard not to when you think of the other person’s feelings. But you get to a point in which you have to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I would be the type who would do just about anything to keep another person happy, anything to not create confrontation or arguments. That’s not a way to live. Walking around egg shells is not something I was thought to do. It’s amazing because I use to have no filter. Seems that the filter I do have is around the people I truly care about. But what good Im I doing to them if I, as their friend, don’t express my feelings to them. What good I’m I doing to them if I don’t call them out on their faults. I know I’m not perfect and I myself have many things that I have to work on, I recognize that. If you are my friend I expect you to call me on it so that I can work on that and be a better person. A lot of what I do is simply because I don’t care to have drama in my life. Im at a stage in my life where I don’t need to deal with attitudes or all that extra stuff. That’s some 20 year-old (censored). AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!!

DO YOU?

XO
Cari


Hola chicas

       La vida es preciosa, la vida es corta, la vida es lo que quieras que sea. Durante este último año he aprendido mucho sobre mí. Uno es que complazco mucho a la gente. Hasta este día me encuentro  haciéndo lo mismo, que he jurado no hacerlo y concentrame sólo en MÍ. Es difícil no pensar en los sentimientos de las otra persona. Pero llegas a un punto en el que tienes que decir basta. Yo sería el tipo que haría casi cualquier cosa para mantener a otra persona feliz, lo hago para no crear confrontación o argumentos. Eso no es una manera de vivir. Caminar alrededor de cáscaras de huevo no es algo que se penso seguir haciendo. Es increíble porque yo era de las que no tenia filtro. Parece que el filtro que tengo es alrededor de la gente que realmente me importa. Pero qué bien les estoy haciendo si yo, como su amigo, no les expreso mis sentimientos. Qué bien les estoy haciendo si no les llamo por sus faltas. Sé que no soy perfecta y yo misma tengo muchas cosas en las que tengo que trabajar, lo reconozco. Si eres mi amiga espero que me digas las malas cosas que yo hago para que pueda trabajar en eso y ser una mejor persona. Mucho de lo que hago es simplemente porque no me importa tener drama en mi vida. Estoy en una etapa en mi vida donde no necesito ocuparme de actitudes o de toda esas cosas adicional. Eso son para los de 20 años de edad. NO HAY TIEMPO PARA ESO !!!

¿VOS SI?

Besos,
Cari

Photoshoot Sunday

Hello Loves,

    What a beautiful day it was, the sun was out and the birds were chirping. Sunday we woke up super early (early for a Sunday) at 6 a.m. to meet the team at Venice Beach for a fitness photoshoot. We took some picture of our results thus far and we will be taking another set in 3 months. The whole purpose of the shoot is to have a picture of where we began with out new nutrition and fitness program. I am now a wellness coach which basically means that I help people loose/maintain/gain weight. All the changes are mostly based on getting their nutrition in check which is 80% of the work while the remaining amount is fitness. I have pushed very hard both in fitness and nutrition but I’m cracking down now more than ever on nutrition. Pushing my body to it’s max, I know there is more to be done. This is the beginning. Follow me on Instagram to see my progress. I’m hosting a 21 day challenge which targets nutrition and fitness...DM on insta if you’d like more info. More pictures to come once the are ready.

Xo, Cari

Hola Amores,

    Que dia tan mas bello, el sol salió y los pajaritos cantaban. El Domingo nos levantamos super temprano (por lo normal no despertamos hasta las 10) a las 6 am. Fuimos a las playas de Venice para una sesión de fotografías. Tomas fotos de nuestros resultados en los últimos días...estoy haciendo un programa nuevo y ayudando a personas que les gustaría bajar, subir o mantener su peso. Lo mas importante es la nutrición y ahora estoy un poco mas estricta y estoy siguiendo y plan mucho mas fácil de mantener. Si quieres mas información de mi reto de 21 días, favor de enviar mensaje por Instagram. Ya vendrán mas fotos. Habra otra session en 3 meses para mirar y comprar es progreso de hoy a entonces. 

Besos, 
Cari

Rock Hard

Hello Loves,

       I absolutely love this outfit. I know that I tend to wear clothing that is very form fitting and this is not exactly that. Maybe thats the reason why I love it so much. It could also be that I just love the look of over the knee boots with skirts. Don’t know exactly what it is but I absolutely love it. While shooting this look a girl in passing car burst into laughter and scream out, “You know you are in (name of my town).” At the moment I was thrown a bit off and I’m gonna be honest, it was a little hurtful. But then I realized that she has no idea who I am, no idea why I shoot looks and just isn’t up to my level. First off, I wouldn’t have reacted in that form if I had seen a girl doing the same thing. Why react in such a way, why does she care if it’s not Beverly Hills. I’m hustling regardless of what city I’m in. She doesn’t realize that by saying that she puts herself down because it’s obvious she is from the same city (the city isn’t ghetto although she might be). Sorry if I’m bashing her, but it’s these kinds of girls who just put down others to make themselves feel better. I am no way gonna let one girl or any other hater determine what I will do or not do. I keep pushing each and everyday. I’m gonna succeed in my city, Beverly Hills or El Paso, there ain't no stopping me. So if you find negative people in your path, you gotta brush them off and just keeping fighting for what you love. No one said it would be busy, no one said there wouldn’t be obstacle. This who make it are those who regardless of the downfalls they picked themselves up and kept of going. Keep Pushing!!!!

Cari




Hola Amores,

    Esto completamente enamorada de este atuendo. No se porque, puede ser que sea las botas con la falda, el que este atuendo se algo differente a lo que acostumbro. Cual quiera que sea, pero me encanta. Les cuenta que el día que estuve tomado fotos de este atuendo una chica en un carro que pasaba se rio y grito, ¨Si sabes que esta (nombre de mi cuidad).¨ Me callo por sorpresa y no lo voy a negar, me hizo sentir un poco mal. Pero al rato pensé, quien es ella, quien es ella que cree pensar que no mas por estar en esta cuidad no puedo tomar fotos. Sea en esta cuidad o en Beverly Hills, eso no me va a detener. Yo hago esto no solo por que me gusta pero también por que tengo sueños a los cuales pienso hacer realidad. Mas ella no me conoce, no paga mis biles que hace que su opinion bale muy poco. A ella reaccionar de esa manera dice mucho de ella, y lo que dice no es muy bueno. Si tu te encuentras a personas como ella, no les de tu tiempo, sigue haciendo de lo tu yo ya que ellas no vale nada de tu tiempo. 

Besos, Cari

You, My BFF

Hello Dear Reader,

      I’ve decided to share a little bit more of myself with you. I’m gonna be sharing my thoughts, struggles and emotions. I want to make you a part of my life, my friend and confidant. I know that this is gonna be come a little more personal but don’t worry, Ill still post all the details on the outfits in each post.

    A day ago, I received a phone call that left me questioning everything that I was doing in my life. I have been blogging and making YouTube videos for over 6 years. This is not something new to me, this is not something that I started just last year. This is something that I have been working on for so many years. Many times I thought about giving up, I thought about doing something else but I'm still here. Why am I still here? Why do I still bother with this blog and channel even though I don’t see much progress? Why? Well because I love this. I love what I do. And yet all that I needed was one phone call to cause me to rethink everything that I have been doing. And as of yesterday I was ready to change everything to please this one person...to say goodbye to everything that to me so long to built (Im not even close to where I would like to be).
    After talking to friends and family about the situation I realized that I shouldn’t be doing things to please one individual. If I decide to leave all this, it would have been because thats the choice that I have made. And until then you will see more content come your way. I will continue to inspire women to look and feel their best, that just because they are moms that they have to loose their sexiness, hide their curves and dress like nuns. No honey, life still continues after child bearing. So don’t let anyone dictate what you should do, follow your passion because that’s when your dreams will come true.

I’m Back

Hello Everyone,

       I’M BAAAACK!!! I know,  I know that I have been a terrible blogger. I need to really work on my time management by just dedicating some days out of the week to just blogging and filming. Sometimes it gets very difficult because I have so many things that need my attention. I'm here now and I'm ready to get the ball rolling. What a nice surprise to find that my views per posts have tripled in my absence (screams). The followers don’t match the amount of views, but it’s all gravy. Honestly I couldn’t be happier. I have to make myself accountable and follow through with constant posts. 

     Some of the posts that you will see in the next few days have already made it on to Instagram and Youtube (go check them out if you haven’t already). This first outfit was a set that I got from HotMiamiStyles.com . The faux leather, olive skirt fit perfectly. Those kind of materials usually give me a hard time since they have zero stretch. This one, however, had some stretch allowing me to move more freely. The top was composed of the same material with some sheer panels. Heels as usual are from LolaShoetique.com . Have you ever shopped at LolaShotique? What’s your go to shoe store?

Catch you on the next post,

XO ...  Cari 

Hola a todos,

      Ya REGRESE de mi larga ausencia. Yo se que e sido una blogera terrible. Deberás que tengo que trabajar mejor con mi tiempo y apartar algunos días para dedicarlos a mi blog y a grabar para mi canal. Se también que tengo que ser mas consistente con mis blogs. Pero ya no ay mas llantos que ya estoy aquí. Lista para trabajar y para traerles contenido. Para mi sorpresa, mire que ahora tengo mas personas mirando mis blogs que antes, los números incrementaron bastante. Eso me alegra. 

     Algunos de los blogs que miraras en los siguientes días ya fueron subidos a mi Instagram y a mi Youtube (ve a verlos si no los as mirado). Este atuendo es de HotMiamistyles.com , el set estrecha ya que muchos del mismo material no dejen ni caminar. Pero este acomoda perfectamente y te puedes mover con facilidad. Los zapatos son del mismo lugar donde siempre obtengo mis zapatos, Lolashoetique.com 

Tienes alguna tienda de zapatillas favorita?

Hasta la próxima,

Besos.....Cari
