(Video) He Said,She Said 2014 Kia Sorento Review

May 8, 2013 by Eddy 1 Comment

Image courtesy of Kia Disclosure: We received a loaner 2014 Kia Sorento for one week for review purposes as always our post is our unbiased opinions on the car. The first time I learned about the Kia brand, one of the guys in my high school football team came driving down to practice in a brand new Sportage. It was the pinnacle of awesome! I still can remember that it was gold similar to the color of Champagne. Fast forward 14 years, and here I am sitting in a brand new 2014 Kia Sorento, fully decked out and top of the line. Kia has come a long way since that time, from an unknown, budget brand, localized to first time car buyers to taking that next step along with the Toyota’s and Nissan’s of the world. When I stepped into the Kia Sorento the first thing I said to myself was WOW. As I mentioned in the first impression video I was really knocked out by the great interior. Obviously, the Sorento I tried out happened to be a fully equipped with all … [Read more...]

Charmin Celebrating Latina Mama Bears Everywhere! #MamaBear

May 7, 2013 by Divina Rodriguez 4 Comments

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Charmin and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Mama Bears do a lot of hard work and take pride in being savvy, efficient and able to juggle lots of things, including the family budget. This is my Mama Bear. She is the most beautiful, kindest and brilliant woman that you will meet. She taught me to be strong, never give up, use my intelligence to solve any problem and above all find time to laugh and dance. She came from Paraguay with just a little more than a determination, courage and a dream of a better life. Because of her hard work and sacrifice along with mi papa’s I am the woman I am today. I thank God every day for her and can only hope I am just as great a Mami as she was to me and my sisters. Do have a Mama Bear in your life? That woman who works hard, puts herself last and above all makes tomorrow a better day? What makes her a Mama Bear? Her strength? Her wit? Her drive? Her … [Read more...]

RadioShack Hispanicize Survival Kit

May 1, 2013 by Eddy Leave a Comment

Disclosure: We received a RadioShack Hispanicize survival bag we were not required to post but wanted to share some great travel technology gadgets for summer season. Divina had the wonderful opportunity to attend Hispanicize a couple of weeks ago. As part of her experience she received the RadioShack survival kit, which basically covered all her electronic needs to get through the event. Below are our thoughts on the products in the bag: AUVIO® High-Performance In-Ear Metal Earbuds Official Description: Enjoy crisp sound and strong bass from these metal (machined-aluminum housing) earbuds from AUVIO. Use them with earclip or without - the earclips are flexible for maximum comfort. The cable tends to lay flat and stay out of your way, making these earbuds ideal to use with your smartphone and for listening to music. Their frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz. DH Review: My favorite thing about these ear buds was that they were sturdy being made of … [Read more...]

Dancing Hotdogs Montreal Strip Steak #steakover

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Walmart Stores . However, all opinions expressed are my own. Its April in Connecticut and after months of cold grilling season is almost here and the Dancing Hotdogs family cannot wait! To get us excited about grilling and Memorial Day 2013, Walmart reached and asked me to share a Dancing Hotdogs steak recipe. I am from Paraguay a little country in South America where cattle is one of our biggest products so I love a great steak with simple flavors where the great quality of the beef shines through. I am really picky about what kind of steak we eat since I want great quality and freshness. Walmart shoppers can take their grilling up a notch with its top-quality selection of steaks, certified by the USDA for quality. Only one in five steaks is good enough to be called Walmart Choice Premium Beef. Montreal Strip Steak You will need Medium size Strip Steaks 3 tablespoons of Montreal steak … [Read more...]

Image courtesy of NEUTROGENA The weather is start to warm up and the entire Dancing Hotdogs crew is so happy! Warmer days means more adventures outside but my skin has not been loving the change in climate.
