{celebrity look-alike}

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity?  Well, I get that a lot, but what’s funny is the variation in the celebrity they see in me.  If you ask me, I don’t resemble any of the celebrities people associate with me, but there must be a hint of truth in it, because the same names keep coming up every time I hear this.

Here are a few photos of my celebrity twins and me, for you to see for yourself…

This is me:

Twin #1 – Michelle Rodriguez

{of Fast and Furious Fame}

Well, I’ll give people one thing — we are both Puerto Rican and Dominican.

Perhaps we share similar features that are common among our people??

Twin #2 – America Ferrera

{aka Ugly Betty}

Okay, we are both Latinas too, but she is of Honduran descent (who takes on many roles as a Mexican)…both origins so far from my own heritage.

Maybe just the hair?  Mine on a good day, though..

Twin #3 – Khloe Kardashian

{famous just for being a Kardashian!}

This one is interesting, since she is not even Latina.

Again, maybe the only thing I could see is our hair is both dark, long and wavy…

Okay, here I am again.  Do you think I resemble any of my celebrity twins?

Some might be flattered by the many references, but I just find it amusing.

Maybe I’d be more excited if people said I reminded them of the Latina beauties I admire so much for their beautiful style and grace at all times…

{lovely holiday gift guide} brought to you by the TomKat Studio

{the TomKat Studio 2012 Holiday Gift Guide}

It’s that time of the year already, and if you haven’t started shopping for Christmas gifts yet, you are in luck!  Of the many gift guides that are published during the holiday season, I have to admit my favorite one is the one that the lovely Kim Stoegbauer of the TomKat Studio puts together.  The TomKat Studio 2012 Holiday Gift Guide is just full of beautiful [and practical] gifts for every one on your list!

I haven’t had time to fully go through the guide yet, but at first glance I am really loving the gift suggestions for little girls and tech lovers.  I have to admit, though, my favorite part of the guide is the many FREE printable gift tags featured in the guide.

I hope you enjoy this sweet guide as much as I do.

{Happy Shopping!}
