¡La Vida Es Buena . . . Vivela!

A Colombiana and a Canadian take an inside look at how Latin women can make sexy look seamless in motherhood.

Micheline and Liana meet during their expatriate relocation to Buenos Aires, Argentina. As an everyday mom of a three- and five-year-old, Canadian Micheline is tired. She hasn't peed with the bathroom door closed in years and has no idea where her workout wear is. Personal time is a vague memory and she avoids mirrors at all costs.

Liana, a Colombiana and mother of a two- and a seven-old, bubbles up. She looks as fresh as a teenager whether she is going to the gym, playing with her girls or heading out for cocktails with her husband. Micheline discovers that Liana finds joy and humour in everything--from grocery shopping to waxing to hangovers. Yes, even hangovers...Through their friendship, they realize that Latin and non-Latin women look at the world with different perspectives on beauty, exercise and mothering.

Micheline decides she wants to take a drink from the Latin cup. After years of personal friendship, humour and outrageous stories, they decide to make it a project. The Beautiful Hangover is born.

¡Vamos chicas!

Palermo Pictures



The other week Liana and I went with a small group of people to take pictures in the neighbourhood of Palermo here in Buenos Aires. Palermo is the biggest barrio in Buenos Aires and we explored one small area called Palermo Soho.  It's been gentrified in the last ten years or so. Today it's a mix of boutiques, restaurants, cafes, bars and unfinished buildings. These are streets where old and new meet. There is always something fun to look at in this eclectic neighbourhood.  Have a peak!  ✿ Micheline
