Comic Con Bound!

This really snuck up on me, but tomorrow I’ll be leaving on a jet plane to LA, where I will be meeting up with some of my most favorite people to hang out and relax. You can refer to it as the calm before the storm that is San Diego Comic Con! I am fortunate enough to be going as press again with my dear friend & partner in crime, Rosy Cordero, of Accidentalsexiness. We will be live tweeting from our joint project’s account, so make sure to follow & keep up with us at @soblogalicious! We will also be hosting a live hangout straight from the source from our Google+ account, so make sure to add it now! Additionally, I will be taking some street style photos to share with all of you on the blog when I return. Don’t think Comic Con is a fashion mecca? You’d be surprised, my friends.

I am so excited for this adventure – I’m sure you all remember how great it was for me a couple of years back. I met some pretty astounding people and made some great connections. I hope to do all that and more this time around!

And if you are feeling a little disheartened about my absence, fear not! The lovely Aurora, editor of Where South Florida, will be taking over the blog while I am gone. Be nice to her, and show her your love! I’m sure she’ll be sharing some amazing content in my stead!

What I Wore: Pinkie!

Oh gosh, I adore this dress so much. It was love at first sight when I spotted it at Kohl’s, and was so excited to wear it! I was thrilled I was able to sport it for a very special photo shoot with the lovely Rosy from Accidental Sexiness. Why were we doing a shoot together? Well, we have decided to join forces and create The Blogalicious Babes, a fun look through our eyes about celebrity, fashion and beauty in Miami and around the globe! We will be posting vlogs (video blogs) regularly, hosting charity events and hopefully bringing you great and interesting interviews. Sounds like fun? It will be! We are both very excited to share this all with you!

Giveaway: {NIVEA PDA Kit}

Although I don’t focus too much on beauty products (although I really should – my skin needs it), the Million Moments of Touch campaign from NIVEA really spoke to me. The year-long program aims to get couples kissing, hugging and touching one again after getting a hunch that modern, fast–paced living was taking a toll on touch, intimacy and relationships. They commissioned a study to conduct research and obtain a deeper understanding and what they found was pretty eye-opening. What stood out the most for me was the fact that 57.2% of Americans say they touch their cell phones “always or quite a bit,” whereas 28.6% say they touch a family member and 16.7% say they touch their closest friend always or quite a bit. We literally touch our cell phones more than our loved ones. How scary and sad is that?

Plus, my beautiful and awesome friend, Rosa Cordero of Accidental Sexiness is their Latina Brand Ambassador! Way to represent, honey doll!

For that reason, I’d love to give you all their PDA kit, which includes:

– NIVEA Touch of Renewal lathering body scrub
– NIVEA Extended Moisture daily lotion
– NIVEA A Kiss of Vitamin Swirl lip care
– NIVEA for Men Energy face care gel moisturizer
– NIVEA for Men Relax body wash

To enter, just comment to this post with what makes you want to touch or get closer to someone. A week from today, 4/19, I will pick a winner at random! Good luck, readers!

Weekend Highlights

Saturday we all got together to celebrate one of our bestest friends birthdays. We met James about a year ago and can’t believe what quick friends we’ve become. We had a night full of flip cup competitions, rock band and general madness. We even had a breathalyzer in tow just for fun and I’m very happy to report that I was under the legal limit the entire night. Melificent was on her best behavior…too bad I could not say the same for Sunday. 😉

Sunday afternoon I picked up Rosy, who you may know from her amazing blog, Accidental Sexiness, for our next adventure. We hadn’t seen each other since our romp with the Heroes boys back in May and it was definitely high time for another one. Everyone knows my love for Mr. Rossdale and we were lucky enough to have him visiting the South Florida area for the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic this weekend! Perfect set-up for us crazy Miami girls. Thanks to our assertiveness and well…obsessiveness (let’s not lie), we were able to watch Gavin practice from mere feet away. It was pretty amazing, I can’t lie. What was even more amazing was getting to chat briefly with him once he was done. He’s such a sweetheart. And gorgeous. And extremely talented when it comes to tennis – I always knew it was a hobby of his, but I never imagined that he would be as good as he was! He kicked major butt along with Lindsay Davenport in a doubles match against Jon Lovitz and Martina Navratilova, which Rosy and I were able to watch from excellent spots in the stands. On our way out, we were again able to coerce him to take a picture with us both before we had to force ourselves to leave Gavin and the event for the day.

Until the next Rosy&Meli adventure, make sure to check out Gavin on Criminal Minds this coming Wednesday, November 11th, at 9pm on CBS! Have a great week everyone!
