If you remember I had the opportunity to meet the CEO of Pura Vida Tequila & Godsmack, as well as attend the Rockstar UpRoar Music Festival. If you haven’t read about my experience yet, you can read about it here. As part of this experience, I also have the opportunity to review Pura Vida Tequila and create recipes using them.
Lets start with a meal that your family and friends will love: Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos! It’s easy to make and it’s delicious!
The chicken is marinated in a homemade tequila lime & cilantro marinade and then grilled. Simply top with cheese, cilantro leaves and garnish with a lime to squeeze over the whole thing.

So if your hubby is like mine, he tends to take picture after picture and never downloads any of them. They sit their “collecting dust” & taking up space. No he doesn’t use any of the cloud services so what other options does he have? The SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive solves that problem by hooking directly up to any of your (newer) iOS devices.
Integrating a Lightning connector and USB port, the iXpand Flash Drive provides a simple way to offload, access and transfer content on iOS devices. The flash drive lets you free up memory on your iOSdevices and instantly expand storage by up to 128GB. The iXpand Sync app auto-syncs your content to the drive whenever it’s connected, and you can watch videos or listen to music directly from the drive through the App. Or, use the USB connector to move photos and videos to your PC/Mac. To keep it safe, iXpand Flash Drive lets you encrypt your files for secure transfer.
This drive is small enough to keep in your purse, pocket or to store in a drawer. It’s a perfect gift for Father’s Day. It allows dad to free up space on his iPhone, or iPad and gets those photos and videos to a safe place…cause I’m sure we’ve all dealt with the dreaded phone photo loss.

In Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker, Marla takes her readers for a hilarious romp through her days in an exclusive L.A. matchmaking agency and her daily struggles to keep her self-esteem from imploding in a town where looks are everything and money talks. From juggling the demands her out-of-touch clients and trying her best to meet the capricious demands of an insensitive boss to the ups and downs of her own marriage with a Latin husband who doesn’t think that she is “domestic” enough, Marla writes with charm and self-effacement about the universal struggles that all women face in their lives. Readers will laugh, cringe, and cry as they journey with her through outrageous stories about the indignities of dating in Los Angeles, dealing with overblown egos, vicariously hobnobbing with celebrities, and navigating the wannabe-land of Beverly Hills. This is a fun book with guilty pleasure appeal. As you read it you wonder how is this not fiction…well it’s not, it’s her life, and as I’m rolling on the floor laughing I kind of feel bad for Marla, as she had to deal with all the picky demands of her clients. She changes the names and such, but the characters and events are real. The reality of it makes it even more entertaining, how could people really be like this!! Much of it is very humorous and actually reminded me of some tv comedy’s I’ve watched. My hubby and kids didn’t understand the outbursts of laughter… Along with the mismatches, she also helps arrange some good connections that work. The Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker is and enjoyable read that can make you happy for who you are and what you have.
You can follow Marla on Twitter and Facebook.
The book is available at a discount on Amazon.
