Life Livin' #9: A New Addition in NYC

12:40 PM

Hey, beauties! We hope that your Summer so far as been nothing short of amazing! These past few weeks have definitely been a whirlwind for us, especially with the newest blessing that has entered our lives! For those who do not know, we recently became aunties to a beautful baby girl named Morgan Rose. To say that this moment in our lives is unbelievable is a complete understatement, and there are truly no words to describe how we feel. Because the time to finally meet our new bundle of joy was long overdue, it was the perfect excuse to get away for a few days and travel back to NYC! Meeting miss Morgan Rose was the most life-changing experience that we've ever gone through, and it's an amazing feeling to know that we have someone who will look up to us continously. It's funny to know that even though we've been aunts now for almost three months, we're still getting adjusted to being aunties, or what we call ourselves, "TeeTees" ♥ But through it all, we're super excited for this journey, and we know it's only going to get more beautiful as time goes on! Keep reading to check out all the excitement we experienced meeting our new niece and all the fun we had in NYC!

06.22.17...the first day we met ♥ The connection that we shared was indescribable to say the least!

NYC-bound!

Carlo's Bakery! The treats here are worth EVERY penny :)

Grand Central Station

You know we had to stop for a quick selfie :)

We couldn't help but stop at this pizza storefront! Don't these pizzas look super yummy? We definitely think so!

Only in the city...

On our way to SoHo :)

The New York Public Library

We felt a little daring in this photo, so what better way to channel the daredevil in us than by stopping in the middle of traffic for a pic! As you can see, our dad decided to jump in, too!

Famous Famiglia Pizzaria...because New York wouldn't be New York without a delicious slice!

A pit-stop in Union Square :)

We heart the hustle and bustle...

Lunch at one of our favorite spots...The Cheesecake Factory!

Bonding time with TeeTee Dannie ♥

Time to eat with TeeTee Channy ♥

Life Livin' #8: Dame Tu Bachata!

8:56 PM

Hey, beauties! If we've kept any promises to ourselves, one that we've definitely kept was to continue getting out there and trying new things! Recently, we were able to fulfill that promise by attending the Masters of Bachata Takeover-Fall Edition in Virginia Beach! Those who are close to us know that over the past couple of years, our love for bachata has grown deeply, and with every opportunity there is to be around it, whether it's music, dance, or both, we take it! This event just so happened to be our very first dance social. Yeah, we've shared with you all how we attend Latin fest every Summer, but this event was a little different. Not only was this a chance for us to soak in the various sounds of bachata music, but it was a chance for us to learn. A chance for us to take on the different styles of bachata, along with learning from everyone there from all walks of life...different cities, states, and even countries, such as France, Spain, and Norway!

Even though it was a first being exposed to all these new things, to say we had a good time is an understatement. Everyone there was super friendly and positive, the vibes were amazing, and we absolutely loved how everyone was so open to learning and respecting everyone's style of bachata. Even for those who were beginners, those who were much more experienced made you feel welcomed and right at home! We definitely had an amazing time and can't wait for next year's event! If this experience has taught us anything, it would be to stay open-minded to the possibilities. Don't be afraid to get out there and step outside of the box. Try something different than what you're accustomed to on a daily basis. You never know, you might just surprise yourself! Here are a few glimpses from our fun-filled night :)

Our outfits for the night! We wanted to go for something simple, yet chic and sexy, so these bodysuits and high-waisted skinnies were the way to go! Nothing topped off this look better than a pair of sleek lace-up heels! We're so in love with neutrals as you can see :)

Things were just getting started!

A quick selfie in between dances :)

A birthday dance! Everyone circles around the person who's birthday it is. If it's the man's birthday, he will usually select the woman from the circle who he wants to dance with. From there, the women take turns dancing with him. If it's the woman's birthday, the men circling around her will take turns seeking a dance from her. Super exciting and fun, don't you think?

Life Livin' #5: Summer So Far

12:34 PM

Happy 4th of July, everyone! We hope you all have been enjoying this fun-filled weekend so far! With how busy life has been lately, one of our major goals for this summer, and this year in general, has been to get out and do more, including things we've never done before. These past few weeks have definitely been the start of that goal, with many exciting things coming our way. This has included a lot of eating (which we LOVE), reconnecting with childhood best friends, and venturing out to places and events that truly bring passion and excitement to our lives. Keep scrolling to see what we've been up to lately!

We've been craving a lot of authentic Mexican eats, so what better place to start than with Mi Hogar! Can you say, "delicioso"?!

Twin date downtown! Food and lots of shopping is always a great idea :)

There was no better way to celebrate our father's birthday than with dinner at one of his favorite places (and ours, too!), The Cheesecake Factory. We're huge fans of the Chicken Bellagio :) If you haven't tried this, your taste buds are in for a treat!

You can never go wrong with a cool pair of lace-up flats! They're chic and comfy at its finest!

Last weekend, we went to one of the most exciting events that we've been looking forward to all Summer--Latin Fest! To say that we had fun is an understatement--we had a blast! We've always been drawn to everything that Latin culture has to offer...the music, food, dancing, and how everyone is always so excited and full of life. It's beautiful to see how proud everyone is of their culture, whether they're from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Columbia, Mexico, etc. It's such an amazing thing to embrace. Not to mention, we were excited that we got to put our Bachata skills to work! The main act performing that night was bachata artist El Chaval de la Bachata. Once the music got started, there was no stopping us! We danced the night away and we also met some pretty cool people. It was like one huge party on the beach! Such a great way to spend a wonderful weekend!

A selfie before the fun got started :)

More authentic Mexican eats :) This time it's Rancho Grande!

Vintage floral and high-waisted jeans...such fab Summer staples!

Nothing makes these outings more enjoyable than with amazing friends! This summer, we've also been getting back in touch with some of our childhood best friends. The amazing thing is that no matter how much time goes by or how busy life may get, when we get back together, it's like we never missed a beat! One of our favorite things about Summer is hitting the beach, and all the exciting ventures that come with it. This night, not only did we spend the evening catching up on the beach, but we also went for drinks at a local bar & lounge and went for dinner at Bahama Breeze. We were having such a good time that we forgot to take selfies. We're definitely looking forward to more girls' nights like this :)

What exciting things have you all have been up to this summer? Let us know in the comments below :)
