Hot Hombre of the Week: Dominican Edition – Miguel Perdomo
I am a proud Dominicana who normally doesn’t date Domincanos. My type tends to lean toward a mix of Puerto Rican and South American.
What can I say? I love to taste the flavor of various Latino cultures.
However, lately I’m gravitating toward mis hombres Dominicanos. Maybe it’s the commonality in our sing song or there suave way of saying, “Chula” (they make everything sound sexy.)

Say I Do to Do It Yourself Wedding Trends and Ideas
As a maid of honor, I have one duty. To keep the bride sane during the wedding planning process. Brides can get a bit out of control when it comes to wedding details. From saying yes to the dress to the decor of the venue, you, future maid of honor, are in for many sleepless nights.
Take my sister, for example. She will be married in May of 2012 and is obsessed with creating her dream wedding. It makes sense. All women want their day to be the day they’ve dreamed of since childhood. Some women prefer a simple and low key celebration, while others prefer drama, sparkles, and more drama!

Truth Tuesday: The Trouble with “Yes”

A cousin asks me to connect her with an editor.
Yes.
A boyfriend pleads for my forgiveness.

It doesn’t matter if I’m too exhausted to drink or to socialize. I don’t think twice about lending a helping hand though the recommended may taint my good name due to their irresponsibility. I don’t even think twice about letting something go, even when it hurts.
Because I always put myself second.
Pepa Power™ Tweet Chat: Cancer Awareness
To commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness month, the next Pepa Power™ Tweet Chat will discuss how we, as women, can take care of our bodies to avoid The Big C. Sometimes cancer just happens, but with knowledge comes power and awareness. Knowing what to do when you find a lump is just as important as knowing your family history or how to eat healthy.
And knowledge is what we intend to provide.

Pepawisdom of the Day: Become Self-Aware
Self-awareness is the only way to embrace who we are and pinpoint what no longer serves us. And then, we can grow.

It’s been an idea in the making for over a year and today I decided to take the plunge.
That’s right, Pepitas! I have created a Pepa Power™ T-shirt for women to don during this fall season.
The circular image represents the never ending power that we, as women, possess. It also summons female unity and reminds us of the unbreakable bonds that we build as hermanas. And, of course, there is the Pepa Power™ saying itself. That is self-explanatory.
