Am I supposed to be a "Mexican" wife?

So I'm Mexican American. My dad was born and raised in Mexico and made his way over to the U.S. as a young adult. My mom was born and raised in Southern California and both her parents were born and raised in Mexico. I am quite Mexican.


And how does being Mexican play a part of me being a wife? My hubbie is Mexican American just like me. His family ties to Mexico almost mirror mine. How does being Mexican play a part in his hubbie duties? 


In Married At First Sight, there are couples who have different religious beliefs and cultures. They were open minded and did not feel like having the same family background was essential. 

This is such a beautiful thing!


To begin a relationship there are many contributing factors to who your ideal type is. Race and culture sometimes play part in this. And then you add in your family's wishes on who they want this person to be and what family background they want them to have and you get a whole lot more to deal with than you ever anticipated.

I don't think my culture and race has played too much of a part in the "type of wife" I am. Other than my preference in what we should eat for dinner of course.

Awwright! Awwright! Awwwwriiiight!

I don’t know about you, but I love a movie that can make me laugh. Comedy stand ups are always a hit when I’m looking to work out my abs the easy way. What happens when you combine the movie experience with a comedy stand-up? You get the perfect creation of Kevin Hart’s LAUGH AT MY PAIN .  This movie captures Kevin Hart’s most successful comedy tour yet and takes us behind the scenes to where all his creativity began. He grew up in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia with just his mother, as his father was a drug addict who wasn’t welcome at the home. Despite his father’s addictions Kevin was still able to have a relationship with him. Their relationship wasn’t what most would call normal, but regardless it definitely played a key role in LAUGH AT MY PAIN.  Even as a successful comedian, Kevin is one to proudly state he can’t flaunt as if spending money isn’t a thing to him. He portrays his endless scenarios of when putting up large sums of money becomes a pr...

Chick Flicks Make History

What does the term chick flick mean to you? Are you into chick flicks? What have chick flicks done for the film industry? Have chick flicks always been called chick flicks? When I think of a chick flick I think of a movie I can see with all my girlfriends on a Girl’s Night In. I think of a movie starring a young attractive actress who meets the love her life only to be heartbroken but soon rescued by another guy she never thought she would fall for.  Chick Flicks are usually released around a holiday we all either love or hate. No, not Tax Day. It is actually Valentine's Day, the so called holiday invented by Corporate America. Despite the time of release, Chick Flicks targeted to young females who can relate to the life of the featured protagonist. As mentioned before there is always a protagonist who leads by example. She usually falls in love, becomes a successful individual or overcomes a great struggle. In many ways this featured hopeful gives aspirations for the millions of ...

Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is... Where will we live? What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them? In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season) , Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from L...
