It's hard to say which of Antonio Banderas's swashbuckling characters is most memorable. To me, he will always be the sexy Zorro bandit, stealing away into the night with a corseted woman slung onto the back of his horse. Yummy. I have had the pleasure of meeting Señor Banderas a few times before (at industry events, claro, it’s not like I’m a fixture at his home in Spain, chatting with Melanie about how crazy it is that her breakout movie Working Girl was filmed over 20 years ago).

Even though it's days later, the Mother's Day love is still flowing from me. Because this blog is all about beauty and all things beautiful, I wanted to share these gorgeous celebrity photos with you. I think these Latina mamis are their most beautiful when they’re with their little ones.

I mean, seriously, can't you just feel the love oozing from these pictures?

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Recently I was told my face looked healthy, flushed and so well rested. This is a compliment I can't recall hearing in my whole life. (Usually I hear how tired, run-down and pale I look.) I suspected I knew what it was that prompted this comment, so the next day I tickled my cheeks with another helping of La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Peach Glow. I swear, I got two "You look pretty"-comments and one: "You look really good today." It has to be this blush—this incredibly blendable, easy-to-wear anti-aging cream with gorgeous color kick.

A friend of mine uses a satin pillowcase. Her boyfriend does, too. Did you know it's actually used to prevent the pulling, scratching and wrinkling of your skin? So it's a great anti-aging device. And it’s also great because the slippery material helps prevent hair from tangling and therefore breaking. A beautiful secret, indeed.
