This very funny episode is brought to you all by my uncle Domingo. He makes the best mango margaritas and while doing so, he schools me in the art of drinking like a Dominican. Conducted totally in both Spanish and English, this episode gives you a sneak peak into my crazy Dominican family! Domingo’s Mamajuana Recipe: Besides collecting the appropriate branches, you will need: Honey/Miel Red wine/Vino Cinnamon/ Canela Raisins/ Pasas (optional) Cure it for at least 2 months! Domingo’s hungover cure called: Aguajil After a night of drinking, you can wake up and make yourself the following: Garlic/ajo Cilantro Boil and drink to relief symptoms. This is not just for headaches but the body ache that also comes from drinking. Consult your doctor before drinking the aguajil. And always: drink responsibly!

The holidays are just around the corner and so is the shopping season. On this episode I sit down with psychology student and friend Tiffany Camacho to speak about the psychology behind consumerism. We speak on marketing strategies advertizers use to lore us into shopping for what we dont need, the pressures of fitting in and creating a person around the items we buy, the values we place on items and emotional shopping. We also explore a few tips and tricks to think about and employ when you go shopping: "Do I really need this?"

On this episode get inspired to shake things up as we take a little road trip to get some mimosas! A few weeks ago I headed down to Dallas, TX to meet with the one and only Destiny. She uprooted her life in New York for new adventures down south. We catch up with her a year after the big move and speak about this process and how she adjusted to her new life. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you are thinking about moving: 1. Save, Save, Save and yes, Save (to life off of for 3-6 months) 2. Research and possibly visit the state/city where you would like to move 3. Apply to jobs before moving and be honest about your circumstances while writing your cover letter (give employers a move and start date) 4. Be willing to take a pay cut (you might need to take a part time while you start to settle down in your new place) 5.Get a license. Not all cities are as public-transportation driven like NYC. Learn the basics of driving and obtain your license. If possible, start looking at cars even before moving. This way, you will be able to start moving around and exploring your new city right away Once you're there: 1.Explore your new place: Groupon activities, restaurants, and other locations to start building your hang out spots 2.Get active: Join a gym or class where you can meet new people and learn a new skill 3.Date/meet up: Change your Tinder location and don't be afraid to start meeting new people. You can research events (meetups, concerts or city events) where you can meet like-minded individuals. Be safe but have fun! 4. Be open to new experiences, food, people and state/city regulations Quick Resource: Human Trafficking in TX https://news.utexas.edu/2017/01/24/there-are-300000-victims-of-human-trafficking-in-texas

I'll be interviewing my favorite pals for a conversation on everything from motherhood, social activism, sex, career and much more. Listen in every Wednesday night through SoundCloud or catch it on demand here on myefflinglifeblog. On this episode, I connect with Destiny, my former "work-wife" and a good friend. Though she left New York City for Dallas, Texas she hasn't lost her city style and attitude. Destiny and I met two years ago while working in a public access television station. We worked in the education department serving youth interested in media, journalism, and production. During my time there, Destiny gave me the 411 in the world of community media, social organizing and activism. I'm so very thankful to her for sharing this other side of media making; media-making with a purpose. Destiny's guidance has shaped not only how I look at the media, but how I converse with others and how I write my stories. She's also my social media guru, always teaching new ways of interacting in this ever-changing world of social media. It's no wonder she was the perfect person to speak about social media activism. We discuss what is social media activism, how impactful it is and what are some steps to take to become more socially conscious when interacting online. Resources 1.
