I had the pleasure of chatting with a great Dominican entrepreneur Carmen Polanco. With over 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry in various capacities including research and development, sales and marketing, this Dominicana has introduced her own natural and organic skincare company Agora Skincare.


You know we Dominicans love our natural skin and hair care products, and in these eco-conscious times, it's the perfect opportunity to introduce this line of natural beauty products.

How to Have Style

This morning, Isaac Mizrahi was on The Today Show talking about his new book "How to Have Style", and help women discover how they can be fashionable.

I personally love Isaac Mizrahi. He has such a great spirit and enthusiasm for fashion that just rubs off on everyone else.

A couple of tips and essentials for spring from Isaac --
  • spend most money on hair and shoes because if you get these two things right, then everything else falls into place
  • right pencil skirt
  • right hosiery
  • the right jean
  • right high heel peep toe

Hello out there again!

I know it's been a while. Tengo que darle calor a mi hogar!

Como muchos de los Dominicanos ausentes pensando en semana santa/viernes santo en RD, I hope you're having some habichuela con dulce today.

TGIF!!!!!
