Periko & Jessi Leon at Starbucks “Noches Cultures” featuring Caramel Flan Latte by Maria Serritella

Maria Serritella is a great friend of mine. She is a fashionista, actor, dancer, makeup artist, and mother that will be contributing to April Golightly. Check out and like her IMDB page and her makeup skills in this tutorial.

This week, I had the amazing opportunity to meet & interview the extremely talented & vibrant duo PERIKO & JESSI LEON at the Starbucks “Noches Culturales” in Miami, where customers were invited to celebrate culture, tradition, & the new Caramel Flan Latte accompanied with live acoustic music!

On this particular night of “Noches Culturales” we had something extra special to celebrate…it marked the 1-year anniversary of the duo together making latin pop rock music magic! Combined, their musical talents include composition, singing, & songwriting. Together they play guitar, ukulele, bass, & percussion instruments. Coming from successful solo careers, it was no surprise that their magical union occurred given the chemistry of the perfect blending of their voices. They have performed together in countless venues including The 14th Latin Grammy Street Party, Premios Lo Nuestro, Latin Billboard Showcase, Dewaristas con Juanes as Finalists, St. Jude Children’s Hospital Gala, Radio Amor 107.5, Lexus Listening Lounge, Univision, Showbiz (CNN), MegaTV, America TeVe, Sirius XM, MTV Tr3s, Telemundo, Telfutura, among others.

BA Star Palette: Easy Smokey Eye

Samples were provided for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.

BA Star sent me the Natural Eye Shadow Palette with Gel Glitters and the Glue. Eye Shadow & Glitter Base to review. BA Star eye makeup is creamy, but not so creamy that it slides off with humidity or when you sweat. It has a staying power that I have not seen from other cream shadows. The pigment is also awesome. I’ve bought creamy shadows that slipped off quickly and had no pigment. This was a nice change!

Complexions Contemporary Ballet

Complexions Contemporary Ballet by Maria Serritella

This month I had the very fortunate circumstance of attending and viewing the performance of one of the most talented dance companies in the world today, Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Led by acclaimed artistic directors and founders Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, this multicultural company has been reinventing dance since its inception in 1984. Over the last 20 years, they worked hard and smart to find themselves having travelled the world over showcasing their genius choreographers and virtuoso dancers. It has been their vision of expressing non-restrictive movement in relation to our ever-evolving, more culturally interconnected society that has catapulted them to the top of the dance entertainment scene.
