ABOUT 

Welcome to my lifestyle blog Street Lux! So what is Street Lux? This blog is representative of my swag and all the things I love in this crazy life. I’m a pint sized, feisty Latina born and raised in East Side San Jose, CA now living in LA, who loves all things chola and all things luxurious!

Interesting combo right...but I never forget where I came from! Aside from being a boujee chola, I’m an Executive Assistant! After 10 years of working in tech for some of the most amazing companies, I decided it was time for me to tap into my creative side!

I don’t know where this blog will take me. All I know is that I’m taking a step into the unknown and I want you to come with me on this journey. I’ve finally taken the leap towards following my dreams and for the first time in my life, I feel whole and my soul is filled.

WHAT'S up with this boujee chola? 

I love makeup and I love to glam! My winged liner is on point. It will never go out of style for me! I spent hours mastering winged liner when I was fourteen years old and I am so proud of my wing! I am obsessed with trying new products and sharing my finds with everyone. You can expect to see a lot of HONEST product reviews. The number one question I get from women is, “how do I get your glow?” I got you boo!

I live for food! Literally I need help! I think about food 24/7. I have a knack for finding all of the best restaurants in any city/country! YES, I am that good and I will not steer you wrong! Pretty little drinks and sleek, sexy, edgy restaurants drive me wild! It doesn’t stop with restaurants! I love traveling to exotic places and staying at the most unique, edgy resorts! I can't wait to share my finds with you!

I secretly wish I was a chef. I dream about a day where Ina Garten invites me to her home like how she does with Jennifer Garner and we cook and drink wine all day! She would teach me how to garden and entertain guests and I would teach her how to make tamales and micheladas! A girl can dream right? If it’s not already evident, I love to cook and one of my favorite things to do is try new recipes! Every Sunday I try knew recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers, chefs and abulelitas on YouTube! I’ll let you know what’s worth trying!

I want to have some real conversations with you about life, love and faith. I’m often told that I’m the first person my friends think to call when they need inspiration, encouragement and love. I really want this blog to represent that. I want you to come here to feel inspired and uplifted. I want God’s love to shine in everything I do. YES, I love Jesus! 

I hope to make you laugh. I hope to help you find your edge, sexiness and swag because we all have a little fire/chola inside of us. Mostly though, I hope we can be friends. I know that as much as I will inspire you, you will inspire me too.

Lastly and certainly not least, I get to share my life with one of the most amazing men in the world! His name is Justin Washington! He’s an engineer, photographer and music producer! He calms the chola inside of me in a way no one else can!  Together we are exploring life and this crazy thing called marriage together. Please don't ask me about kids! We aren't ready yet! Phew I'm glad I got that out of the way! I promise once we are ready I will let you know!

Enough about me! I can't wait to do life with you! Let's get wild, let's get crazy, let's follow our dreams together and enjoy every beautiful thing this world has to offer! We only get one life to live, let's live it on the edge! NO REGRETS!
