Enjoying Summer to my Own Rhythm!! #RitmoOrgullosa

 This is part of a sponsored campaign with P&G and Orgullosa. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

I am so excited that summer is finally here, for me that means work slows down and I have more time with mi familia. Going to the beach,having family get together’s and taking road trips is what I look forward to the most this summer. I was so excited when I was chosen to be a #RitmoOrgullosa correspondent and asked to share how I live summer to my own rhythm as a Orgullosa latina. Alot don’t know pero yo soy Dominicana y Cubana born in Brooklyn, New york, I know a mouthful haha. I am so proud of my heritage and try to celebrate it every single day. Latin’s are brought up with a strong work ethic so I find myself going the extra mile at work and sometimes overworking myself. So this summer I decided to take a break from work and live in the moment, savoring every minute of it.  

                    Thanks to Orgullosa I was able to live in the moment and take a trip to Galveston with my brother to visit moody gardens.

The starter kit that I was sent had everything I needed to make my trip great. I made sure to pack up all the necessities for this adventure. Since I will be walking around like crazy I brought water,a beach towel, sandals and sunnies of course. I made sure to wash all my clothing the night before with the Easy-to-use Gain Flings in my starter kit. I love the original scent so much because it reminds me of my grandmothers home smelling so fresh and clean. Also it doesn’t make my skin breakout, I have a huge thing when using any new detergents in my home, not only is it easy on the skin it’s easy on the nose as well.

We headed down to Galveston we enjoyed our ride there listening to tons of reggaeton music on the way. Seeing the beach in the horizon made me think about the time I spent with my family growing up in Miami and how we would always have a barbecue on the beach. We would sing and dance to bachata music all day long. Also it made me miss the beach so much, ever since I moved to Houston two years ago I haven’t been to a beach; so that was an exciting experience! 

My brother and I headed inside and explored all of moody gardens, and saw some amazing animals and mammals that were there and learned so much. There was tons of information at each station and attendants there to help you learn about all of the creatures of the sea.

It was so much fun going through the Aquarium, saw so many beautiful creatures. The seals kept on playing with everyone and following us all around it was truly a breathtaking experience. 

 We headed into the Rain forest exhibit and was greeted by this cutie here, I wonder what he was thinking? He was literally just chilling out while watching all of us taking photos of him.

It was so nice to see all these beautiful creatures it makes you really appreciate nature and all of this beauty around us. I can say the Rain forest pyramid was my favorite it was so peaceful and it was just you and nature all around.

The quotes in the Rain forest pyramid were something to see , I had to share a few of them with you because they really touched my heart; even the rain forest moves to it’s own rhythm! 

I’m glad I made the decision to wear something light and airy because it was really hot in Galveston ,90 degrees plus all the humidity. My clothing still smelled great after all that walking  for hours, I’m happy I used the Gain flings in my wash earlier the scent lasted all day. 

My brother and I enjoyed visting Palm beach in galveston as well, it was a beautiful day and I am so happy I got to share it will my silly brother! We decided to grab something to eat and we were in the mood for Italian food, so we headed to Mario’s restaurant.

We ordered the Stromboli and let me tell you this, it was mouthwatering! We also got this tasty cheesecake to feed our sweet tooth, all that walking around get’s you a bit hungry. 

 After eating we decided to walk on the beach to let our food settle before driving back home.

I’m so glad that we were able to experience this and share with you guys. It was truly a wonderful adventure, you can also win the same summer trip and starter kit.
