Happy Earth Day


Happy Earth Day!


The importance of today is not just about celebrating Earth Day, it's really about honoring our lovely planet and making sure to her keep her safe. We've gone as far as we could damaging the ozone layer, abusing our natural resources and polluting. It's a lot for Mother Earth to handle. It's time we give her a break by recycling, reusing and going green.

Win that war !

2. Turn off computers or put them to sleep mode when not ion use.

WEST SIDE STORY

I just found these pictures, made a collage and I love it.

In honor of West Side Story’s celebrated revival on Broadway, Vanity Fair decided to re-create scenes from the classic 1961 film with a little help from Jennifer Lopez, Camilla Belle, Rodrigo Santoro and Jay Hernandez to name a few.
For those of you who don't know West Side Story is one of my favorite musicals. It starred Rita Moreno a singer, dancer and actress of Puerto Rican descent. She is the first and only Hispanic female and one of nine performers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony and at the time the second Puerto Rican to win an Academy Award.
I'm Latina and proud! Los quiero siempre. ....
