Really Riley
Hey beloved! Happy to have you stop by my little corner of the world where I always like to keep it raw, honest, and real. I'm a spicy Latina girly-girl with a twist of tomboy that isn't afraid of much. Throughout my life that lack of fear has always landed me one of two places. Down the wrong road, or down the right road after taking every single wrong turn possible to get there. What can I say, I'm directionally challenged in the car and in life. But I consider it one of my greatest blessings to have done life backwards and upside down because opening up about my experiences connects me with you. I talk about everything from mini rants on mom life, to heartbreak in abusive relationships, and somehow going from tragically single to manifesting an unconventional happily ever after. Fashion, beauty, fitness, reviews, reality TV, and of course let us not forget reluctant adulting. If you're thinking about it but you don't want to say it, I'm usually talking about it. Having said all that, my mantra and the biggest message I can ever give is a simple one. #WeGotThis

Anyone that knows my husband marshall and I as a couple knows that he's not usually one to say no to me. In fact I think I can count on one hand the times he's put his foot down and said he would be genuinely upset if I did a particular thing against his wishes. But if i'm honest I wasn't shocked when I showed him the Skims Nipple Bra and he gave me his epic side eye. This episode is a true depiction of our marriage and how differe...

In my experience ADHD is the type of disability that often gets overlooked or even discounted all together by those closest to you. Growing up getting that diagnosis meant that you were just hyper or you could sit still. Now having been diagnosed at the age of 38 I realize just how unfair and isolating it is to have your brain function identity than others and not truly understand why. In this episode I discuss the signs that you m...

In most situations I am never afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve and have a good cry out, that is unless I just had my lashes done. But in the gym, that is the place where all of the rest of the world goes away and I am free to think of nothing else. For one hour I can switch off all of my worries, anxieties, and insecurities and be the strong woman I know I am. But lately there have been more values than peaks with my fitness jo...

With all of this talk of the sun during the Eclipse yesterday I've realized that I have just about the pastiest skin I've had since birth. growing up in Florida and being Latina I'm used to seeing my skin with a somewhat natural bronze to it, but these last few winters in Maryland have all but erased that. So if you're not into tanning beds or orange sheets from spray tanning I've put together the perfect list of inexpensive sunles...

The interwebs are buzzing all over the place about Beyonce Debuting her first ever Country Music Album "Cowboy Carter" over the weekend with mixed reviews. Critics seem to be either loving or hating it, but no matter what side of the Queen Bey camp you're on you have to give it to the woman that she is a BOSS for putting herself out there is such a different genre than what's she's known for. So naturally I thought now would be the...

However, after a heart to heart with the husband I decided to keep it very true to the promise of keeping it REAL here on Really Riley and answer this...

As a matter of fact, he's actually done this to me before while we were just dating. But trust me, he did it for an excusable reason otherwise I'm not sure that we would be husband and wife today.
