Circus Theme B-day Party-Part 1!

My niece's birthday is coming up and of course the event planner in me couldn't wait to make a huge party about it. We browsed thru "Hostess with the Mostess",my favorite events website, for some inspiration and to choose the theme. My sister in law didn't want anything too girly so she ended up deciding on a circus theme.

I suggested something really modern and cool so I had my cousin, who is a graphic designer and an architect, design the invitation so we could plan our decorations around it. She came up with the cutest invitation.

Closing cycles!

Life is about changes and a lot of people, things and situations happen in our life that can either bring a lot of joy or a lot of sadness. What's important is to keep the positive, let go of the negative and accept that in order for something to be constant in life there has to be a mutual compromise and desire to stay in that stage, that friendship or that relationship.

Sanxenxo: A hidden gem in Galicia, Spain!

First of I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TRAVELING so I'm always looking for new places to discover. So when it came to the hubby's birthday I knew what I wanted to do. It was an extra benefit that he made it clear he wanted it to be just him and me and that he didn't want any surprises. Well I did make sure it was the two of us but I love surprises so I couldn't help myself. It got me into a little trouble when I said I had to drive and he had to have his eyes closed or be blindfolded. He threw a fit and I almost felt I had a child for 10 minutes but then he got into it and even let me walk him to the room with his eyes closed. I had to bump him into a few walls on the way just to get back at him for being so difficult at the beginning though. LOL

Bilbao, San Sebastian and Haro: Our 3 day getaway to the Basque Country and La Rioja!

This was the structure right
in the middle of our hotel.
You can sign the rocks!!

For my birthday this year one of my best friends came to visit from Houston, Texas. Since she was going to be here for a whole week I thought we could make a little visit to somewhere neither of us had ever been. We wanted to make it to Morroco but we couldn't find any tickets to fit our schedule so we decided to go to the Basque Country for 3 days. We tried to fit as much as we could in those days and I think we did pretty good.

Me Madrid: My new favorite hotel in Madrid!

Hotel Me Madrid

For my B-Day back in February 16th we headed to Madrid for a weekend getaway where we got to meet and celebrate with our best friends and my sister. Since it was my b-day I wanted to stay in a very cool hotel. I was looking for a boutique hotel with a rooftop terrace preferably, rooms with a view and in the middle of everything. After browsing for the best deals and reading lots of reviews I decided for the ME Madrid. From now on it's the place where I want to stay every time I go to Madrid.
