Hola! Thank you so much for stopping by Living in Heels Blog!
Hola Beautiful, welcome to my blog! Thank you so much for stopping by and wanting to learn a little bit more about me. My name is Mariuxi, I am a proud Latina, Ecuadorian, living in the United States. I am a mom of a smart wild toddler boy who loves dinosaurs (and often thinks he is one of them), and I also have a sweet naughty toddler girl who hates bows and scrunchies and loves to sneak under the table to eat the chocolate she steals from the pantry.
I decided to create this blog after a year of having my first baby. As a first time mom there were so many struggles that I faced not only as a new mom, but also as a woman. As you can imagine, my baby became my top priority and I wanted everything to be perfectly done! I had the mindset that if I did it all by myself I could make sure that everything was going to be just like I had pictured it! And yes, it felt great, satisfactory and rewarding at the beginning, BUT, it was not sustainable. I felt burnt out and realized that I didn’t have the time that I used to have for ME. I realized that I looked messy every day! Wearing unappealing clothes was the norm for me, I did not even make a stop to brush my hair or put on some lipgloss before I came out of the house. Not caring about ME became the norm for me, I was moody all the time and hormones were not the ones to blame. At that point I felt the NEED to change that and recover the self-motivation to wake up and take a least 30 minutes for my own self to do whatever, even if that meant just being alone in the shower, but a time just for me, alone.
I also realized that many women, just like me go through the same struggle and I decided to build a platform where we can disconnect from the sweet noise and lift each other up! I created Living in Heels Blog as the perfect break for busy women like YOU and ME to connect, learn and get inspired by Fashion, beauty, fitness & wellness, household cool findings, and more! This is a spot to remind all of us that we need a space and time to self-care!
I totally get it girl, every single day is non-stop for us and we want to do it all! I’m also guilty of taking care of everyone in my household and leaving myself for last and/or sometimes forgetting about that last one. But let me tell you girlfriend that chapter ends now and whatever you do, no matter how busy you are, you should make a stop, take a moment for our your own self to take a breather and do things that will boost your mood, whatever that is. You deserve our “solo” moment! I bet that if you take just a few seconds to put on some lip gloss, that simple action will change your entire day!
With that being said, I will make sure that you stay up to date on the latest fashion, beauty trends (on a budget) and share the best tips to live a healthy fitness life by keeping my journey as an open book to motivate other women to do the same. From this moment, no matter how busy you are, you don’t have to spend time browsing multiple websites to get some inspiration or look for advice. My goal is to ensure that every mama looks and feel their best by living a healthy lifestyle, while looking pretty and fashionable!
Thank you again for stopping by! Now, sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy your selfcare time!

Hola! Muchas Gracias por visitar Living in Heels Blog!
Hola bienvenidos a mi blog! Gracias por visitarme y querer conocer un poquito más de mí. Mi nombre es Mariuxi, soy orgullosamente Latina, Ecuatoriana y resido en Estados Unidos. Soy mamá de un niño inteligente y lleno de energía, ama los dinosaurios y muchas veces cree que es uno de ellos. También tengo una niña muy dulce y traviesa que odia todos los accesorios para el pelo y ama esconderse debajo de la mesa para comerse los chocolates que toma sin permiso de la alacena.
Este blog nació un año después de tener a mi primer bebé. Como era de esperarse, durante esa fase enfrenté muchos retos no sólo como mamá primeriza, sino como mujer. Naturalmente, mi bebé se convirtió en mi prioridad y quería que todo sea hecho a la perfección. Creí que al hacerlo todo yo misma podía asegurarme que todo salga tal como lo visualizaba, sin darme cuenta que no me dejaba tiempo para nada más y estaba afectando mi estado de ánimo y mi humor. Llegué a un punto en el que me acostumbré a estar desarreglada dentro y fuera de la casa, y si salía al supermercado me ponía lo primero que encontraba. Esto fue un cambio extremo en mi vida porque antes de ser mamá yo siempre cuidaba de mi imagen, me maquillaba, me ponía bonita salga o no de mi casa. Entonces entendí que ponerme a MI persona como prioridad era una necesidad y no un lujo. Caí en cuenta y me propuse a hacer un cambio urgente, lo que me motivó a pensar no solo en mí sino también en otras mamás que estaban experimentando exactamente lo mismo. De esta manera nació Living in Heels Blog.
Living in Heels Blog es un sitio para desconectarnos del estrés de los quehaceres de la casa y de la dulce bulla de nuestros niños y sacar a flote nuestro lado femenino. Mi propósito es recordarte que necesitas un espacio y tiempo para ti y facilitarte contenido y tips relacionados con el fitness, la moda y belleza, productos que encuentro y recomiendo y por supuesto mantenerlas actualizadas con las últimas tendencias para que no se me queden atrás por estar muy ocupadas con las cosas de la casa y más bien sean amas de casa modernas, luciendo siempre muy lindas y a la moda!
Es un placer tenerte en mi blog, te agradezco mucho nuevamente por el apoyo. Ahora sí, recuéstate, relájate con una copa de vino o una taza de café y disfruta de TU MOMENTO!
