Talk Tuesday

Two Cultures One Heart

Most people live their lives knowing the name of the street they grew up on. Others have grown up with a certainty about where they come from. I grew up with a blend of two cultures: the one I was raised in and the one I was born into. … I was born in San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato, Mexico, but I was raised in various cities in Texas. I received my citizenship at birth because my father was a citizen before I was born. From the beginning, life was divided in two: where I was born and where I grew up. My whole life has been a series of driving or taking the bus from here to Mexico and back.

This One is for My Shopaholics

Fashion Talk Tuesdays will be everything you don't want your daughter to find, your husband to know your reading, and your inner shopaholic release. Before we get started, there are six things I want you to know and always remember:

… • Decide how you wish to present yourself to the world. • Don't prioritize style over comfort. My Golden Goose sneakers are uncomfortable, and my fake LV bags have held up better than my real ones. • Let's try new things and discover. • Read the reviews; you will thank me later! • If you are still deciding what to wear, dressing up is better.

The Measure Book Review

Book reviews are back, and I have missed you guys! I hope you all kept up with your summer reading, but if you didn’t, I’m not your English teacher and will not quiz you for a grade! I’ve enjoyed several books this summer that I suspect will end up on my “best of” list at the end of the year. Ann Napolitano’s newest release, Hello Beautiful, is one I highly recommend. For those who like a sweeping epic, settle in with Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.
