By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor Magazines are my obsession. Can I say I am a magazineholic? When I was young, my parents would take my sister and I to a "puesto de revistas" or newsstand every weekend to get the latest kids' magazine. It was my favorite thing to do; I would seriously look forward to it all week. As a little girl having thousands of magazines and comics […]
By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor Is it really true that the early bird gets the worm? Honestly, I don’t think this is always the case. I have never been a morning person, and I don’t think I will ever be. I believe 8:00 a.m. classes should be banned from all schools since brains don’t even work “well" at that time.

By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor Last week, as I was going down my Facebook newsfeed, I stumbled upon an article about signs your stress could be turning into something more serious. I clicked on it, and as I scrolled down the signs, I noticed each one described me perfectly. I realized that I considered my stress levels to be normal for a college student, and because of this I […]
By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor I stayed in my hometown the first two years of college. I had a great scholarship, so my plan was to finish my undergraduate degree there. Everything was going perfectly well. I really liked my classes, I saw my friends every day, I had good professors, a cool job; there was nothing I could complain about. However, I occasionally felt that something was missing […]
By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor Millennials are using more makeup tools than ever before. We have the beautyblender, Silisponge (Silicone Sponge), foundation brushes (liquid, airbrush, powder), contour and highlight brushes, concealer brushes, blush brushes, brow brushes, shadow brushes (smoky, blending, crease), eyeliner brushes, etc. However, most of us are making great makeup mistakes with them. According to one survey, only 61 percent of women are cleaning their makeup brushes […]
By Maria Martinez Blog Content Contributor If there’s one thing Texans know how to do best, it’s how to drink a good Margarita.
