In addition to the tips Carmen has shared on how to combat Allergy Face, I would like to share a few tips of my own for when it comes to dealing with those pesky allergies.

• The first thing you are going to want to do is check for the pollen count to see if it is even a good idea to be heading outdoors. You can do so by checking the forecast, online or using an app. 
• Next to both treat and prevent any allergy symptoms just as Carmen suggested be sure to take Zyrtec (after consulting your doctor of course)
• Wearing sunglasses will not only help you protect your eyes from Ragweed and Pollen, by keeping allergens out, especially when the wind is blowing but it can also disguise swelling, redness or puffiness of the eyes. Let's not forget how fashionable sunglasses can be, a great accessory to any outfit!  
• Use a moisturizing sanitizer like Gold Bond's Ultimate Moisturizing Sanitizer. It will keep your hands clean and sanitized by killing 99.9% of germs. This will avoid further irritation in the event you touch or rub your eyes or nose. It will also have your hands feeling smooth, soft and moisturized the perfect trio to accentuate any mani(cure)!  

Stay tuned for the release of part two and part three of Carmen’s video series, which will be distributed in the summer and fall, respectively. In the meantime, be sure to follow Carmen on Twitter at @VivaFashion and check her blog www.VivaFashionBlog.com for her latest ALLERGY FACE™ tips and tricks.

I have teamed up with two of my fellow New Jersey Latina Bloggers; Miss LV & PiinkCupcakez to bring you a few outfit ideas on what to wear this Memorial Day Weekend.

I chose to go with a casual look because I almost always attend a backyard BBQ. Pending it doesn't rain because it almost always rains here in Jersey on Memorial weekend. Apart from being comfy this look also disguises my postpartum weight. I did a wash and go on my using my RICI Curls products and pinned it to the side for a quick semi-up do.

Me he unido a dos de mis compañeras de New Jersey Latina Bloggers; Miss LV & PiinkCupcakez para traer te algunas ideas de atuendo para el fin de semana feriado de Memorial Day.

Decidí ir con un look casual, porque casi siempre asisto a una barbacoa en un patio. Con tal que no llueva, porque casi siempre llueve aqui en Jersey para el fin de semana de Memorial Day. Además de ser cómodo este look disfraza también mi peso después del parto. Yo me hice un lavado utilizando mis productos RICI Curls y me fije un lado hacia arriba para crear un pienado.

Dominick Sansevero's lovely assistant was super sweet and friendly. She specializes in working with naturally curly hair and was able to blow out my curly fro with no trouble at all. 

I was instantly taken in by the location of the salon, it is beautifully located in a repurposed church. The inside of the salon is so modern, open and clean. I felt welcome right away by the friendly and poised staff. They offer a nice variety of refreshments, being almost 39 weeks pregnant at the time, the cucumber infused water was just what I needed

Bangz offers a variety of services including Spa, Hair and Chemical services. Because of time constraints I was unable to get a mani and pedi but I will definitely be returning for that. I also would have loved to try one of the spa packages but due to my pregnancy I was a little weary in using to many products. The spa looked amazing and I cant wait to go back to have a well deserved "me day" where I can take a break from being a mom of two and simply relax, maybe even get in some sleep? lol

They recently hosted their annual Face of Bangz Contest.  Bangz Salon and Wellness Spa supports numerous causes and charities through fundraisers and other events at the salon. 

The evening was open to the public and featured five women who will walked the runway and made a brief presentation on why they should be the 2013 Face of Bangz and received a $500 donation to their charity of choice. 

The five finalists were selected by an online “People’s Choice” vote from ten semi-finalists who had been picked by judges from hundreds of entries. There were refreshments and wine from local merchants and a suggested $5.00 donation at the door that went to the grand prize winner’s charity of choice.

I want to wish all my Mom readers a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all enjoyed your day. This is what I wore to have lunch/dinner at my Mami's house yesterday with my family. I didn't make it to church as I was so tired. I am barely sleeping with my new baby boy at home but I did want to get dressed for my special day.

After resting a bit I was able to pull an outfit together that would camouflage my postpartum bod. I have already dropped 28 of the 60 pounds I put on during the pregnancy. This type of cardi is perfect for concealing a pooch, you've seen me wear it here before. 

My harem pants normally  have a loose fit so I thought they would work well & because of the high waist & pleats, they were flattering. You have seen me wear them before here. & here. I pinned my 3 day twist out to the side for a sassier look. What do you think?

Quiero desearles a todos mis lectores que son madres un Feliz Dia de las Madres! Espero que hayan disfrutado de su día. Esto es lo que llevaba puesto paraalmorzar/cenar en casa de Mami ayer con mi familia. No pude ir a la iglesia, eh estado muy cansada. Apenas estoy durmiendo con mi nuevo bebé en casa, pero yo quería vestirme para mi día especial.

Después de descansar un poco puede combinar un atuendo que camuflajea mi nuevo cuerpo posparto. Ya he bajado 28 de las 60 libras que aumente durante el embarazo. Este tipo de cardi es perfecto para disimular una panaza, has visto que lo lleve puesto aquí antes.

Estos pantalones tipo harem normalmente tienen un ajuste flojo, así que pensé que iban a trabajar bien y debido a la alta cintura y pliegues, fueron favorecedores. Ustedes me han visto usar los antes aquí y aquí. Fijé mi twist out que ya tiena 3 dias hacia el lado para una mirada mas coqueta. ¿Qué piensan?
