Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

Building upon the growing empire that is Marvel Studio, the latest Captain America movie finally starts to show the promise seen in The Avengers movie.  Similar to the trend started by The Wolverine, The Winter Solider see it’s selfless less like a superhero movie and more like an old fashion spy film.  Taking cues from spy thrillers of the 70’s and 80’s we are treated to conspiracies and double crosses and even the Captain on the run.  This change in approach is refreshing especially after the years and years of Superheroes movies following the same old origin story approach.  Captain America: The Winter Solider is able to build on both the previous Captain America and Avenger movies to continue the development of the Captain’s fish out of time story while also furthering some interesting developments with SHIELD and the rest of the marvel universe.  In my opinion, the film far exceeds the first Captain America as well as the last two Thor films. After the cataclysmic events in … [Read more...]

HBO LATINO CARLOS SANTANA

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with HBO Latino and Niche Parent.  As always, my posts are based on my opinions and experiences. Did you catch the HBO Latino special, SANTANA DE CORAZON, which premiered last night? Check out the HBO Latino trailer. HBO Latino gives you an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look to the Santana concert in Guadalajara. Meet the legend himself, along some of his famous friends, as they prepare for a jam of epic proportions. No matter your background, age or color you have a favorite Carlos Santana song. Whether it is “Black Magic Woman,” “Smooth,” “Soul Sacrifice,” “Maria, Maria”, “Evil Ways” and of course my ultimate favorite “Oye Como Va.” You may not know it is a Carlos Santana song but that signature sound and beat gets you moving like only Santana can. Carlos Santana has been in the music industry since the 60s (even playing at Woodstock) and he has always stayed true to his culture, his religion and passions to create his music and … [Read more...]

Allergy Face Logo - Vector File

I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour for Latina Mom Bloggers on behalf of ZYRTEC® ALLERGY FACE™ and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Spring 2014 is here and with it comes unpredictable weather, blossoming trees and plants and for millions of Americans runny noses and puffy eyes for seasonal allergies.  I am very fortunate that I do not get a very bad case of seasonal allergies, however, when the pollen count is up everyone is affected. I recently attended a Zyrtec Macy’s Flower Show event where I got a Jackie Gomez makeover. To help women look fresh-faced and flawless during the height of allergy season, ZYRTEC® has partnered with celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez to help women tackle ALLERGY FACE™. Gomez has developed a variety of celebrity-inspired looks that will help all women look and feel like they’re ready for their close-up. This is my pre-Jackie … [Read more...]

DisneySMMoms2014

Disclosure: The Dancing Hotdogs family was invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Conference.  As always, my posts are based on my opinions and experiences. We are happy to announce that we will be attending the Disney Social Media Moms conference at the original happiest place in the world…Disneyland! It’s a welcomed change from the last couple of years (though wonderful) gives us a chance to show the boys the original Disneyland, which has its own unique feel and fun. The last time Divina and I were there was over five years ago before we had either Rock or X.  I am sure it is going to be a special experience for us to return with our two boys.  Now that they are a bit older, I can’t wait to try out some of the bigger boy rides and attractions like Radiator Springs and The Indiana Jones Stunt spectacular. In addition, this trip gives us the chance to stay in the Disneyland Hotel (the original hotel for Disneyland), which I am sure is an experience in itself especially … [Read more...]
