Real Housewives ~ My Guilty Pleasure

I am TOTALLY obsessed with The Real Housewives on Bravo!  You know what I'm talking about....the backstabbing, trash talking, self absorbed women who live in New Jersey and Orange County.  

The OC Chicks

NJ's Finest...depending on who you ask!

Why am I completely taken with these shows?  I have NO idea....but I can't stop watching them!  I'm amazed that these ladies (and sometimes their men) are so obnoxious and are so out of touch with reality that it's funny!

Now, I know Bravo is paying them to put on these displays of immaturity, and it's more than likely not real at all, but they are just so darn entertaining.

Ok, take the fact that Teresa from RHONJ has done a complete 180 with her attitude.  She used to be so happy all the time and totally for her friends and family.  Now, she's a complete "mean girl."  Then again, I can't quite put my finger on her sister-in-law Melissa.  Is she the nice one or not? 

Then the OC girls...they are completely out of control.  It's like they are a gaggle of high school girls.  One minute they are friends, the next they are talking complete smack about each other.  I LOVE IT!

Don't judge me...you know you love it too!

What's your guilty pleasure?

Pay It Forward Friday ~ The Lady On Top

The Lady on Top

Hellooo ladies! My name is Sabrina Gomez.  I'm a 20-something single mom born and raised in the Magic City. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass communications from Florida International University. I’m the CEO of a successful marketing firm, Cresco Media, in which I manage day-to-day campaigns for Fortune 500 clients. As if this wasn’t enough, I recently got engaged and I’m planning a huge destination wedding while making plans to move internationally for the most fulfilling opportunity of a lifetime. My day-to day responsibilities include making sure monsters don’t come out from under my four-year-old’s bed, the wedding invitations are the right shade of purple, and making it on time for the 8 a.m. conference call at the office on four hours of sleep.

As if I didn’t have enough on my plate, I decided to add part-time blogger to my list. I’m the woman behind the The Lady on Top. Name got your attention, huh? I know what you ladies are thinking. It has nothing to do with all that fun stuff that goes on behind closed doors. The Lady on Top is a blog dedicated to empowering and helping women unlock their full potential.

I’ve always been passionate about being a positive role model to women. I enjoy giving advice that is able to make a positive impact in a woman’s life, whether it be in business, relationships, or the day-to-day challenges facing us women. I’m passionate about inspiring and empowering women to live to their fullest potential. I’m a firm believer that we can be successful in business, be a full-time mom and also be a great wife to our husbands without comprising one or the other.

With my blog, I open the doors of my life to share my experiences with you and make a positive impact in your life. We women go through similar situations, and I’m the friend who encourages and motivates you to overcome the situation you’re facing.

I also create the opportunity to showcase talented women who are making it happen in the community in the hopes of reaffirming that women have the capability to accomplish extraordinary things. 

The Lady on Top serves to help you, empower you and inspire you to do greater things because that’s what all women are capable of doing!

The Power of Friends

Never underestimate the power of friendship.  


Just when things are at their worst or best, a true friend is always there.  


Eh, forget all the cliches...


I had some much needed friend time this weekend.  I always feel more relaxed when I get girl time.  Just a simple dinner and movie.  Or even a cup of coffee or walk around the park.  

I have family who I consider my friends, I have my work friends, and I have my friends who I don't have to talk to everyday, but know that they are still there for me.  I have friends who I talk about TV shows with, friends who I can laugh with, and friends who I can tell anything to.  

I often feel guilty getting my time in.  Guilty that I won't get everything done, guilty that my husband is only in town for a week, just....guilty.  My husband doesn't think twice to get his friend time in, so why should I?

Moms need friend time just as much as dads....scratch that....they need it MORE!  We need to be with our friends and NOT talk about our kids or chores!  We need to giggle and discuss.  We need to be women!

Get out there and get your friend time in!!
