Health Information for the Health Conscious Latina
I’ve lived with eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, my entire life. I’ve been a mystery to primary care doctors, dermatologists, allergists and holistic doctors for nearly 30 years.

It’s finally June and summer in Chicago which means… it’s pride month! I’m so excited to be participating in Chicago Latinx Pride this year as an ambassador for Act Against Aids!

This post is sponsored by the American Heart Association. All opinions are my own. This month, it feels like life is pulling me in a million different directions. Sick puppy. New job. Moving. Keeping up with family. Making time for friends. 2 intramural sports teams. And one glorious Chicago summer that’s giving me a serious …
This post is sponsored by the American Heart Association. All opinions are my own. The Macy’s on State Street in Chicago is like my own Tiffany’s if I was Audrey Hepburn. Even as a kid, I remember looking around the store and being in awe of the high ceilings, intricate design work and the best shoe …
