EarthQuake Hits, Are you Ready?

January 12th, 2010 by latinabeatz received 3 Comments »

Did you feel it L.A? Now do you see why it’s so important to be prepared? I would think anyone who has kids or animals or a love for their life would care enough to be prepared!

I remember being 5 years old living in Hollywood in the mid 80′s when a huge earthquake hit, I Remember putting on my Punky Brewster shoes (dont judge!) when my mom threw me under the table. I will always remember how scared I was.

Since then my mom has been a huge part of the Red Cross Disaster Relief .

As I get older I think how lucky I am my mom is involved in so many things that helps other people and brings awareness.

I have always been prepared, My car is stocked with everything I would need for any disaster or situation, Same for my house. Everything is Earthquake Proof. My mom sleeps with a flash light and her tennis shoes by her bed, ready to go.

You just never know, you may not be so lucky to get out, and if you live up stairs or with multiple people and even animals, how are you going to get everyone out? Do you have a Plan? Is your car stocked with Water or food? Do you have food your infants or kids handy? Fires can trail right behind Major Earth Quakes, do you know where your important papers are? pictures? wallet?

Think about what would happen right now or tonight when your alseep, or even your loved ones.. if a huge earthquake hit, would you be prepared? …

Missing Children, Help save a Life!

March 5th, 2010 by latinabeatz received 5 Comments »

I wanted to post this personally because if you took the time to imagine what it would be like if you went missing? If you were taken? At any age.. wouldn’t that scare the shit out of you not knowing what will happen to you.. will you end up like the Raped & Murdered found in ditches? …

We live in a VERY scary world. I don’t have kids, but everyone is someone’s child. I put this widget on my page so whenever you come by here, I’m really hoping you will take a tiny amount of time out of your busy day to just take a look and see who’s missing, YOU NEVER KNOW, you can save a life. It doesn’t cost anything but a few moment or more. Doesn’t matter if you have kids or not, it’s about having a Heart, Compassion for anything living on this earth, at least that’s my hope.

I think if  Celebrities walked around with Missing Children & People’s pics in front of their face everytime they get stalked by Paparazzi, it would make a difference.

If you have time to surf the web, watch home made videos on YouTube or, tweet all day, I think you can take sometime that is worth everything to one suffering family, imagine the person who is missing, I’m sure they would be praying your looking at their pic at this very second.

You never know when, god forbid, your child or loved one may go missing.. wouldn’t you want someone to take their time to look?

Feel free to put this widget on your blog, myspace, etc.

Ringling Bros. Protest was a SUCCESS!!!!

July 22nd, 2011 by latinabeatz received Comments Off

It’s days later and I am still so AMAZED literally, AMAZED! The HUNDREDS, yes .. HUNDREDS  of people who came out, CORNER TO CORNER all walks of life, ethnicity, styles, etc came out BIG TIME in support for the helpless and deceased tortured and brutally beat of their free will into submissive demeanor for dumb and unnatural tricks.

These descriptions I write to you are NOT an exaggeration, they are not for effect nor are they propaganda, they are FACTS, PROVEN FACTS! – For pictures and ACTUAL VIDEO visit my other blog  titled BOYCOTT RINGLING BROS.

I protest almost every year, I didn’t get to make it last year but when I did in 2009, Opening Day at Staples Center, it was maybe 70 people, if that.. but this year? a close 600 HUNDRED!

I think there was more people protesting than there was going to the Cruelest Show on Earth!

Me and my mom are Peaceful Protesters, how does one peacefully Protest you may ask? Easy, we find it’s much more effective to hold powerful but respectful signs and not say a word. Most people

2012 AWESOME MUST HAVE Calendars to have!

December 28th, 2011 by latinabeatz received Comments Off

I am so excited Books that have changed my life are now available for Calendars!!!

So Below is my 3 MUST HAVE Calendars! It’s 2012, might as well use one that will help you every day! =)


The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz have CHANGED MY LIFE! It’s really a must read, every single book he has put out, along with his son are MUST READS!

Here is The Four Agreements 2012 Calendar!!! only $6.99 on Amazon.com

This quote–and art-filled calendar features thought-provoking words from the best seller The Four Agreements and Ruiz’s new book, The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery, written with his son.

* An all-new selection of insightful messages in this seventh year of the popular The Four Agreements: A Calendar for Wisdom and Personal Freedom 2012 Engagement Calendar will help readers achieve more love and joy in their lives

For a Body you will LOVE:

I am SO excited!

Back in 2006 I got this book “Skinny Bitch” that CHANGED MY LIFE in ways you can’t even imagine, all GREAT and I will forever be indebted to it and the Authors, So many people have read it because of my recommendation and it has helped shaped their lives!

Skinny Bitch is definitely my Bible! They even have Skinny Bastard for Men!

Anywho, I just got their 2012 Boxed Calendar! I’m SO excited!!!

It’s only $10.39 right now on Amazon.com, it shows what the pages look like and everything! A MUST HAVE =)

Smart-mouthed tips, advice, and inspiration from the bitches who started it all, Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman.

With such blunt advice as, “Soda is liquid Satan” and “You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin,” readers will laugh out loud at its truthful revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there’s solid guidance. The calendar, just like the book, espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling “clean and pure and energized.”

Each day, women will love the no-nonsense reminders of healthy food choices, fresh and delicious menu ideas, motivational facts and statistics about eating right, exercise tips, confidence-boosting affirmations, inspiring quotes, and more.

This is a GREAT Calendar!!!! Only $6.99 on Amazon, there are a couple of varieties to chose from =)

“If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed.”
The inspirational You Can Heal Your Life 2012 Wall Calendar features text from the New York Times best-selling book of the same title (with over 35 million copies sold worldwide since its publication in 1984). In this powerful and pioneering work, Louise L. Hay explains how our beliefs and ideas can be the cause of illness, and how you can change your thinking to improve the quality of your life!
Every month this calendar features a wisdom quote, teaching text and a helpful affirmation, all illustrated with the charming artwork of Joan Perrin-Falquet.
Louise L. Hay is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher with more than 40 million books sold worldwide, and is widely regarded as one of the founders of the self-help movement. For more than 25 years, Louise has helped millions of people discover and implement the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing.

The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks. In addition to printing our products on recycled paper, Amber Lotus Publishing continues to plant trees and offset our carbon footprint with NativeEnergy.

My Holiday Wish List!!!

December 20th, 2011 by latinabeatz received No Comments »

For those that want to give me something for Christmas, this is my Wish List:

Compassion for Others, specifically Elders, Disabled & Animals. Plus Patience, understanding and acceptance of others lifestyles, Gay/Straight/Bi/Transgender, Questioning, OH and Vegan, Vegetarian, etc.

I would love the gift of true friendship, positive and good intentions with me only at all times. if you can afford it, World Peace and Kindness to everything and anything. That’s all I want. I don’t want anything material, I don’t want anything in a form of money or gifts unless its a warm Hug, Smile & donation of positive energy.

Everyday is a gift. I learned all we have in life is the barometer of our Soul, the ups and downs of our emotions, feelings and energy we give out. That’s what we live with, Happiness is priceless, I learned this when I started buying this, things that I thought I “Needed” but when I looked around at all the pretty stuff, it didn’t fulfill me, it didn’t make me a better person. Helping others does that ten fold. Having compassion and consideration to help others with not a atom of a thought of them giving me anything in return is what makes me Happy. Knowing I helped someone that can never ever repay me, getting a Thank You or a Smile is like winning the lottery.

Happy Holidays.

Legacy Books, write your Life Story in your own Wo...

December 8th, 2011 by latinabeatz received Comments Off

I think this is one of the BEST gifts to give, not only for Christmas, but ANYTIME.

If you have family in the Military, Sick with Cancer, Aids, etc this is PERFECT, a book created with specific and a wide variety of questions, all about a Mother, Father, Grand Mother/Father, etc so if anything ever happens the loved one will ALWAYS have this, such a great idea and so so personal.

I got it for around $10.00 at Pavillions, it’s by Hallmark so you can get it at their stores or even on the net.
