POST#10: LA TIENDITA DE JOY!!!


In San Patricio Plaza, there is a thrift shop called "La Tiendita De Joy". The shop sells toys, books, CD's, DVD's, clothes, etc. All of the shop's profits go to a homeless selter called "Hogar Del Buen Pastor", which helps it's residents go back on track with their lives. Meanwhile, the residents are educated in different types of art, like mosaics, paintings, etc. The store also sells the residents artwork. They have a Facebook page : La Tiendita De Joy. They accept every donation except underwear and socks. For donations, go to San Patricio Plaza, basement floor, last store on the right. You'll notice it because of the scooter outside.

POST#9: VINTAGE CRAFT PARTY!!


Last Friday, I went to the 2nd craft party that "Ouna's Closet" hosts. This time, the craft was earring holders. Even though my mom and I were the only ones that went, we had LOADS of fun. After we made the craft, we had cupcakes and talked and had fun. The first craft party that the store hosted was very successful!!

POST#8: OUNA'S CLOSET 3RD B-DAY!!!


Last Saturday, I went to Ouna's Closet's 3rd birthday party. In the party, there was a in-house DJ, cupcakes, sangria, lemonade, and to top it off, an AWESOME chocolate cake. I was the only kid in there, but I had fun. I danced to the music, played with an old demo Polaroid camera, talked, and played and danced with a bamboo cane. I had a TON of fun!!


Have a nice weekend!!

POST#6: CUPCAKES!!


Hi! I'm going to talk about cupcakes. At Esmeralda Ave., there is a cupcake bakery called "Little Cupcake Shop". It sells cupcakes in DELICIOUS flavors like Oreo, S'mores, Maple and Bacon and normal flavors like Vanilla, Red Velvet and Chocolate. I recommend trying the Maple and Bacon first of all. It is open from Tuesday-Saturday and the website is http://www.cupcakespr.com. I like the bakery because it's little and the cupcakes are really good!


Have fun eating!!!
