  • It’s good to remember that we can only control ourselves and the way we react to events is being learned and sets an example to little ones around us. Every moment is a teaching moment. After I’ve settled into my seat with my girls the pilot proceeds to announce that the tires of our plane must be replaced and we all needed to exit the plane and they needed to unload bags and all. Certainly not fun but the saddest part to me was to hear parents curse at the airline staff in anger and immediately after announcements just change their demeanor while their kids began to stressed and unfortunately learn that behavior. This also worried some kids that were traveling alone. Could the plane leave any earlier? NO Was the situation ideal? NO but again, we can only control ourselves and little eyes and ears are paying attention and learning. In times of disappointment and frustration, remember to breathe and gain perspective into what you could learn from whatever experience you are living. After all, I ended up unexpectedly catching up with an old friend that happened to be waiting on a nearby gate, we received credits in miles for future travels and best of all- we made it home safely! Might as well just enjoy the view! 😉
  • Six years ago I decided to adopt a plant based diet. Is that even possible for a latino? I was asked that so many times. The benefits of this life changing decision in my stamina, skin, and overall health have been better than I even expected. And YES, spanish countries and cultures are catching up to the importance of plant based diet. This summer I had the pleasant surprise of enjoying several dining options in Puerto Rico. @borivegan was a great place to visit. It offers local cuisine with a plant based focus. It was fresh, delicious and the service and friendly ambiance made it even more enjoyable. After my stuffed avocado and fresh passion fruit juice, I enjoyed a homemade vegan guava baklava for dessert! Local and healthier options are available and possible everywhere you go. #vidasalveo
  • Let's go fly a kite Up to the highest height! Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere Up where the air is clear Oh, let's go fly a kite! Growing up, flying kites in El Morro in old San Juan was a frequent family activity. Now as I share those moments with my daughters I also keep in mind their skin health ☀ with @beautycounter Sunscreen Stick and @brushonblock protective lip oil. Love that I can easily travel with them! 🙌🏼 #vidasalveo #healthyskin
  • Have you ever heard of acerolas? This cherry is considered one of the highest sources of vitamin C and antioxidants in the world! This tony fruits are also packed with carotenoids, vitamins, phyto-nutrients, and minerals that promote overall health and well-being. This particular berries are great fresh or juiced. Native of the West Indies, Caribbean and South America, this might be a hard to find exotic treat for some. It is recommended that we have a serving of berries (any berry) a day to maintain a healthy immune system and and keep a high intake of antioxidants. Regardless of the type of berry, be sure to include them in your daily diet. Your body and health will thank you. And if you ever find fresh acerolas, enjoy! #vidasalveo #acerolas #puertoricancherry
  • Summers in the Caribbean are enjoyed with passion fruit! This tropical fruit starts its life cycle with a rare, exotic and beautiful flower and then it becomes such a versatile healthy ingredient to add to many dishes. “Parcha” as its known in some areas of the Caribbean, and “Maracuya” as its known in most other Spanish countries. Its sweet-tart flavor can be found in sangrias or cocktail drinks. This small round fruit could be found also in savory sauces, desserts such as custards, tarts, salad dressings and many others. I enjoy the soft pulp with its small seeds just fresh from the fruit or as a homemade cold juice! So refreshing! Its nutritional value makes it a star ingredient on Caribbean summer trips. Passion fruits are full of antioxidants, high levels of vitamin A and Vitamin C, good source of potassium and high in fiber as well. It is said that it helps lower high blood pressure. I know that a diet high rich in potassium and low sodium has been proven to lower blood pressure. But I prefer to also think that its deliciousness transports you to a calmer place where your blood pressure lowers. Have you ever had fresh passion fruit? Now you might want to try one. 🌱 #vidasalveo #plantbaseddiet #parchas #maracuya #passionfruit
