The magic of the yes

Mia B. Zamora 09/28/2016

BEING an only child with overprotective parents, I grew up using “No” as my default answer to everything. Let’s go outside and play in the rain? No. Let’s ride a boat to the deep part of the…

The art of being a gentleman

Mia B. Zamora 08/31/2016

I HAVE come to the sad conclusion that the species called ‘gentleman’ is slowly becoming a thing of the past. There are a lot of nice guys, yes, and they can be funny, attractive, smart, interesting or…

Fashion in film

Mia B. Zamora 08/03/2016

I LOVE movies and I love fashion. So when these two collide, the result to me is truly an exhilarating experience. There used to be a time (before Google and cellphones) where, as an eight-year-old girl, I’d…

Beauty for sale

Mia B. Zamora 07/20/2016

Mia B. Zamora 05/18/2016

“WHY are you single?” I never really know how to answer that question. Sometimes, it is asked with simple curiosity, sometimes with disbelief (maybe you’re too choosy), sometimes with suspicion (there must be something wrong with you),…

The H&M Conscious Collection

Mia B. Zamora 04/20/2016

IN THE news the other day, it was reported that the heat index experienced in the country hit 52 degrees. That’s worse than a raging fever or a heated bikram yoga studio. And yes, while we whine…

Kikay goes outdoors

Mia B. Zamora 03/02/2016
