B”H Ok lets talk challah, ladies, home made or store bought? Do you make challah or do you buy it from a bakery? Is challah one of those things about Jewish life that still remains a mystery or that you think is out of your league? Is it even relevant to the modern Jewish woman? My guest today believes it so, and she teaches us how in her book Rising, the
Acrylic Judaica to Swoon Over
B”H The days of your Bubbie’s silver are gone, and Acrylic Judaica is in and here to stay! Acrylic has always been one of my favorite materials, and years ago I started adding acrylic pieces to my home. First a table, then this tray, then, ghost chairs… And slowly for surely, I’ve moved to the Judaica! Four years ago I treated myself this acrylic shmurah matza box and I love
Zara Home Sale: Jewish Latin Princess Picks
B”H The Zara Home Sale… what can I say… Ad Infinitum! There is so much to choose from and all so pretty. Not nearly as affordable as their clothing sale, yes, but I have to say, when it comes to linens Zara has excellent quality. Here are some of my picks from the Zara Home Sale. I also want to highlight these as some of my favorites on the table
Episode 27: Rebekah Saltzman, Professional Organizer & Founder of Balagan Be Gone
B”H I hope every one is enjoying the holiday of Sukkot! Later this week we culminate the festivities with the Holiday of Simchat Torah. In a way we’re entering the last stretch of the month of Tishrei and towards this time I start wanting to get my life back into a routine. For me that always translates into organizing, decluttering, paying attention to my spaces, my home etc. Yup, I always go through
How to Layer Rugs
B”H So what if you have a rug that you love and it’s the wrong size!? It happens people… you inherited it, you found it on an estate sale…. Here’s the trick… and it works like a charm. Buy a larger sisal or jute rug (large enough that furniture sits on top as I told you here) and layer your smaller printed rug on top of the sisal. This can be considerably
Episode 19: Sarah Chana Radcliffe, Parenting Expert
B”H Ladies today we discuss a topic that is near and dear to most of us: marriage and parenting! We can never learn enough about it, in fact we should be constantly learning about it!

It is hands down one of the best tips that you can have up your arsenal, that will take any room from drab to fab. And trust me when I tell you, most people get this
Norstrom Sale: Home
B”H Two posts in one day! I couldn’t resist. I confess I’ve never purchased anything for my home at Nordstrom but as I was browsing for Modest Fashion in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, I couldn’t help but notice, how many nice things they have for the home – either for your home or to gift to a friend. Remember, home items always make great hostess gifts, especially if you’re close to
Timeless Interior: Ivanka Trump
B”H Timeless Interiors…There are a few interiors that I can look again and again and always love… they are just so, so me! One of those is Ivanka Trump’s “starter apartment” in Manhattan featured way back in 2007 in In Style and in House & Garden (a magazine that is sadly now extinct). While I do like Ivanka’s apartment with Jared Kushner in the penthouse of the same building, featured
Mi casa es Su casa: Miri Nadler
B”H I know I say this a LOT around here, but I can’t get enough of the amazingly inspiring, unique and beautiful Jewish women I’ve met in this blogging journey. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing fellow blogger Miri Nadler from Miri in the Village. Not only am I in love with Miri’s style – seriously go to her blog from some amazing eye candy, both in her interiors and in her

B”H Shavua Tov, my friends! I’m launching the week with a post that I have been excited for a while to get out to you. This Mi casa es Su casa is so so good. And the ladies that put it together, Daniela & Gaby Apeloig are just amazing!

Pre-Passover Declutter & Organization Gift from Eco Modern Concierge
B”H Spring is officially here! Which means spring cleaning! And if you’re Jewish, that phrase has a whole different meaning … Spring Cleaning = Passover Cleaning, yes? Does the thought of cleaning for Pesach (Passover) make you break in hives because every nook and cranny of your house is stuffed with… well, stuff? You don’t even know what the stuff is, or how it got there, right? You wonder, “how
Dairy Dishware Refresh || Cambios a la vajilla de leche
B”H Good morning everyone! So much is going on around here and you will hear about it in the next few weeks, but let me just tell you a small snippet of my every day life. It’s been ages since I bought dish ware for our dairy side of the kitchen, but it looks like the time has come for an entire refresh of my dairy side. ¡Buenos dias, amigas!
Jewish Modern Art DIY
B”H I’ll admit that concentration during prayer is not one of my strong points (ok fine, forget concentration, it’s hard enough to get me to sit and pray altogether!) However, the two minutes that I take to light my Shabbat candles every week, are some of the most focused and intense moments, and prayers, of my week.
Mi casa es Su casa: Sara & Sarah
B”H Good morning, everyone! So what do you think of the new look, eh? ;-) Let’s hit the ground running with another episode of Mi casa es Su casa. If you’re new to Jewish Latin Princess, Mi casa es Su casa is an Interior Design series I created to feature beautiful interiors in which the woman of the home features the elements that she has incorporated into her home that
Girls’ Bedroom Inspiration
B”H Hello everyone! My daughters’ bedroom has been a work in progress for years… since my oldest daughter was five and ready for a room that could grow with her. Well she’s now 8 and her sister is 6. Achem! Time to tie all the loose ends, I think…. ¡Hola a todas! El cuarto de mis hijas ha sido un proyecto muy lento por estos lados. De hecho, uno en el
DIY Campaign Dresser
B”H Sometimes you want the look of a vintage piece but you can’t afford it just yet, or cannot find it. In fact, sometimes even the newer versions that replicate that look are totally out of your budget… Sometimes, you just need to DIY it. I’m not suggesting not investing in pieces with good bones. But, just in case you still haven’t saved up for that special piece, or you
Most Popular Posts of 2015
B”H Fine, the Jewish New Year is long gone, and the Gregorian new year doesn’t mean much to me other than, “Pesach is in four months!” Oh and “why in the world can’t I find a new plan book for 2016 that I like!?” (Slightly neurotic!? Yeah, totally!) Still, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the top posts of 2015 according to number of views
Master Bedroom Design
B”H I’m currently helping a lovely couple with the interior design of their new home. They moved from the North East and were able to buy a house that has a lot of potential. It is their first home and they are ready to be more intentional about design. The process is going to take a while, but as we tackle all the rooms in their home, they’ll start seeing a
My Favorite Jewish Coffee Table Books ||Mis libros de mesa judíos favoritos
B”H When my kids are in the one to two year old stage, I usually clear the coffee table of all accessories, and all the books go up on the bookcases. The table remains pretty bare. (Yes, I’ve had fresh flowers and vases end up on the floor.) I don’t really mind, since it’s pretty temporary, and it’s for a wonderful reason – toddlers exploring around! :-) Eventually kids grow
