Wella Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue

I remember in 2010 when I decided to do the “The Big Chop” and go natural. The Big Chop is pretty much a process that every frustrated woman has to go through when she decides to stop perming her hair. I was that Woman 14 years ago! The process pretty much lives up to the term. You literally chop all your hair off and start growing it back naturally. The process allows your hair to grow back and return to its natural state without the use of harsh chemicals.

Since then I have taken pride in my natural hair and have been intentional about choosing the right products to maintain this mane! These years have been filled with trial and error. Many brands I tried never lived up to the hype they projected. I mean the packaging was pretty, but the formulas were ugly. Very disappointing, considering the fact that hair products are expensive!


So let’s fast forward to 2024! Here I am still rocking my natural tresses and I have acquired a bit of damage. I needed some emergency care to spruce up these curls. I had no idea where to start. However, I knew that I wanted something that I could use quickly while on the go. I decided to give Wella Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue a try! 

What is Wella Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue?

A hair repair treatment that helps reverse hair damage in 90 seconds. This luxury leave-on spray—powered by Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Omega-9—detangles wet hair and strengthens, smooths, and rebuilds hair inside and out. I noticed Transformative results after just one use.

Haircare Benefits:

• 12x smoother hair in only 90 seconds

• 99% less breakage

• Legendary shine that lasts up to four washes.

How To Use:

• Use daily Step 1 Shampoo, Step 2 Conditioner and Step 3 Miracle Hair Rescue, 1x per week or 2-3x per week for damaged hair.

• Apply 10-20 pumps on towel-dried clean hair.

• Comb through.

• Leave on for 90 seconds before styling. Do not rinse.

• Style as usual.

Fun Facts:

Dermatologically tested

• Vegan / Formulated without animal derived ingredients

• Color safe 

• Committed to no animal testing

I can honestly say that this product produced great results! After 2 uses I noticed that my hair was incredibly smoother and more manageable. I have type 4C hair aka VERY curly hair. My curls can be very difficult and tangle easily. However, this product made my hair smoother and very easy to comb. My hair also has an incredible shine to it nowadays! I would definitely recommend this product. This is truly one added to my list of Beauty favs!

Cafe Carrizal Coffee Review

The order was simple, but so good. “Very light coffee with 2 sugars”, my Mother Gladys Escobosa would say. She loved coffee and quite frankly could have a cup anytime! Coffee has always been a grand staple in my home growing up. I remember visiting my grandmother’s house every Sunday and the first thing that came out of her kitchen was a huge Aluminum Coffee Maker. The Coffee Maker was filled to the brim and the aroma filled the whole apartment. It was the fuel that Abuela and the rest of the Adults in the family needed to get the conversation started. The conversations lasted for hours and ended with incredible commentary and memories.

They spoke very loudly over each other and sipped plenty of coffee. Everyone was in bliss as they laughed and cried about various experiences that all originated in the Dominican Republic. Perhaps this is why the aroma of my Grandma’s home was unforgettable and quite difficult to replicate.

Abuela’s house is where my love for coffee started. Unfortunately, due to her passing, those days do not exist anymore. I spent the majority of my adulthood trying to capture that aroma once again; that true scent of home. Unsuccessful in my pursuit, I settled for commercial coffee brands. Convincing myself that this was the best the Industry had to offer. Sadly, it never compared to Grandma. However, this changed once I was introduced to Cafe Carrizal.

This year I was invited to cover the NYC Coffee Festival and there was a booth that caught my eye immediately. Maybe it was seeing my country’s flag or just the warm and welcoming energy of the crew.

Whatever it was… It caused me to stop in my tracks. I had a sample and was captivated by the taste. This coffee transformed the sensations of my taste buds immediately. For a brief moment, I was back in Abuela’s living room. I heard laughter and remembered the stories shared. I was determined to connect with the brand, I had never tasted anything that created so much nostalgia in my soul.

Now back to the Coffee! Cafe Carrizal originated in the Dominican Republic and has been a staple in the community for years. This Coffee is cultivated in the central mountain region of the Dominican Republic. What I love most about Cafe Carrizal is that your purchase goes beyond supporting a brand you provide jobs in a rural community and contribute to education across the Dominican Republic.

Cafe Carrizal also takes care of their farmers who are responsible for making this Coffee so tasty! The brand focuses on establishing healthy relationships between farmers and the environment by providing health insurance and materials to farmers in the region. 

The farmers who founded this brand are 4th and 5th generation descendants of coffee farmers Antonio Rodriguez and his son Arturo. (picture seen above) They founded the village of Carrizal in this region 120 years ago.

Today the family lives on the same plot of land where the first house in Carrizal was built. They have been involved in nonprofit work in their community since 2008. Since then, they have built aqueducts for clean water, organized trash pickups, held yearly environmental education camps for youth, built homes and donated food and medicine to members of their community.

5 percent of the the company’s profits go to an educational program that has been sponsored by the Dominican Minister of Education, with the goal of decreasing illiteracy across the country. 

Although those days in Abuela’s living room are gone. I am so thankful for brands such as Cafe Carrizal that take my heart back to the better days Every cup I make fills my home with the same aroma from Abuela’s house and I feel her presence every time I take a sip! This is by far the best coffee I have ever tasted. Thank You Cafe Carrizal!

2023 New York City Coffee Festival

Anybody who knows me can tell you I am absolutely obsessed with Coffee. This is why every year around October I eagerly prepare my taste buds for the New York City Coffee Festival. This year me and about 9k Coffee lovers had the chance to check out the anticipated event held at the Metropolitan Pavilion.

From Friday, October 6th to Sunday, October 8th the space was packed with Coffee novices who had a chance to sample delicious lattes, cold brews, chai teas, matcha, chocolate, spirits, and from various exhibitors including Smirnoff, Parlor Coffee, Blueberry Roasters, ansa, Joe Coffee, Blank Street, Rishi Tea, Matcha Direct, De’Longh. I was glad that I wore comfortable shoes because there were three whole floors of exhibitors, experiences, and events to explore.

100% of profits from the New York Coffee Festival are donated to Project Waterfall. Since 2011 Project Waterfall has raised over $2 million and changed more than 80,00 lives in coffee-growing communities in Nicaragua, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. This year’s event raised more than $31k in support of their mission who in partnership with NYC-based Charity:Water continues to help deliver life changing water projects in coffee growing regions.

I LOVE THIS COFFEE! this was by far my favorite from the festival! It felt so good to connect to my Dominican roots! Café Carrizal’s coffee beans grow alongside a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and you can definitely taste in every sip!

Restaurant Review: Dim Sum Palace

The Mid-Autumn festival is here! (Well actually it just left lol). The 2023 Mid-Autumn holiday started on Sep. 29 and lasted until Oct. 6. I got to celebrate the festival with great food at Dim Sum Palace. At first I was a bit skeptical considering that the restaurant was hosting a dinner that exclusively served duck. (Where’s the Chicken?!)

The restaurants lighting is very bright and is sure to provide an instant mood boost to all! There is plenty of room to sit and wall décor to admire. 

The food was delicious the menu was prefixed for all guests. We started out with the appetizers that consisted of Egg Rolls accompanied by savory Duck Dumplings.  

After the Appetizers it was time for the main course! The Peking Duck was savory and satisfying. The meat was well done with just the right amount of crisp. I also enjoyed the sweet glaze over the meat.

The Duck was accompanied by wrappers. These wrappers were a nice touch and went really well with the meat. I enjoyed stuffing the meat into the wrappers It was like having a mini Duck Taco!

Overall I was satisfied with the service and the food provided by Dim Sum Palace. I would definitely go visit again. The price points are pretty decent. This place is an ideal for a date night or just hanging with your loved ones.

831MINHLE Spring/Summer 2024 Collection

During Fashion Week, Fashion Designer Minh Le debuted her Spring/Summer 2024 Line at Paul’s Cocktail Lounge (also known as Paul’s Baby Grand) in The Roxy Hotel. I had a chance to experience all the glam and even had chance to meet the designer!

831 MINHLE’s philosophy is all about women using clothing to create joy and confidence within themselves. Le was brought up in Vietnam where she taught women to sew to help provide for her family and after moving to the states in the early 90s, she continued to cultivate a vision of her own within the fashion world. Here are some highlights from the show.

All I can say is that this collection stays true to Le’s feminine and refined style, made up of bold colored gowns with large decadent floral details

Give Me Glam!!! Verdavainne Spring 2024 Show

I love a great gown! I think about my future wedding gown on a regular basis and I just know I want one with color! That’s why I was super excited to attend the Verdavainne Fashion Show this year.

Verdavainne the esteemed luxury fashion brand, unveiled its Spring 2024 collection in a mesmerizing fashion presentation. This event was held at the Casa Cipriani in downtown NYC. I was so happy to be in the midst of of editors, stylists, and loyal clients. Designer Cyril Verdavainne’s debut as part of the official NYFW calendar was amazing!

The Spring 2024 collection by Verdavainne is a celebration of bold eveningwear. The collection also showcases oversized high-contrast patterns that demand attention.

“I wanted to show something glamorous and generous in proportion but with clean, crisp lines. The use of colors was a must for me with the Neon Yellow, the Chartreuse, the Shameless Fuchsia Pink… it’s all about bringing fun to our clients’ wardrobes.”

– Cyril Verdavainne, the founder and designer

“While I design a line every season, the brand sets itself apart and identifies as ‘custom’ and made to measure. The client gets to create, and for me, it is an opportunity to learn more about women and about the clothes they truly want to wear,”

– Cyril Verdavainne, the founder and designer

Verdavainne’s Spring 2024 presentation focused on embracing the bold, celebrating contrasts, and weaving elegance with every minute detail.
