Want to spice up your home for spring? Here are our top five tips to help you get started.

1. Bless Your Home

Give new meaning to the phrase “spring-cleaning” by sweeping out the mala energía and making way for light and happiness. “Using sage, cedar or frankincense, light up your offering and walk from room to room,” says Robyn Moreno, author of Practically Posh: The Smart Girls’ Guide to a Glam Life. “Wave your stick against the walls from the corner of every room and sweep out the bad energy toward the door.”

2. Painting 101

Change the mood in your crib by splashing some color on your walls. “Make a claustrophobic room seem larger by painting it in a soft landscape hue, like Caribbean blue,” says Moreno. “A natural panoramic color like blue, green or violet will seem to make the room stretch.”

3. Change the Bedding

The bed is the focal point in your boudoir, so dress it up in fun, bright colors. Take inspiration from Frida Kahlo’s vibrant rebozos and try Honeysuckle Pink, Pantone’s color of the year. “I have bright-orange sheets that always speak summer to me,” says Moreno.

4. To the Kitchen’s Aid

Use your collection of stored family treasures to add personality to your kitchen. “Showcase your abuelita’s teacups or hang a retro plate collection on the wall,” says Moreno. Glam up your cabinets by changing the knobs. Trawl vintage stores and flea markets or visit Anthropologie.com for their vintage-inspired collections.

5. Wall Art

Add unexpected glam to a frequently used room. “Hang beauty ads featuring screen sirens -- like Rita Moreno -- from vintage magazines to create a pink boudoir-inspired bathroom.” Or turn your photos into wall art. Websites like CanvasOnDemand.com create cool canvas prints in color, black-and-white or even moodier sepia tones in poster size or smaller.

Latinas are known for dramatic beauty. Whether you prefer an effortless glow or brick-red and Hollywood-ready lips, sporting either one of these looks is sure to have you turning heads.

Red Carpet

1. To achieve a stunning red-carpet presence, keep your face flawless by applying full-coverage foundation that won’t gather in your fine lines or wrinkles.

2. For maximum drama, cleanse and prime lashes with a solution, apply black liquid eyeliner and then glue on individual lash extensions.

3. Apply a shimmery light-gray eye shadow directly underneath your eyebrows, and then blend a darker color on the bottom for a smoky look.

4. Show off your lips with a moisturizing matte-finish lipstick in a stunning red color.

Telenovela Hair

A telenovela-high ponytail will keep those loose strands away from your face at work and can easily transition to a fun night on the town. How to do it:

1. Bend forward and flip your hair over. Work a small dab of hair cream that straightens and smoothens out frizz, and then brush it out.

2. Next, gather hair in your hands as high as you can, securing with a tight elastic band. Voila!

3. Don’t forget, your face is on display! For a simple and beautiful glow, apply an eye cream with a touch of concealer, and brush a light bronzer on your cheeks.

Natural Shine

For a standout spring look, play with color. 

1. Start by dusting a rose-colored blush at the center of your cheeks with a makeup brush.

2. Open up your eyes with a light layer of mascara. If your lashes are straight, try a curling brush; if they’re thin, use a volumizing brush that maximizes each lash individually.

3. Glide on a glittery pink gloss just before you leave. Don’t forget to blow yourself a kiss on the way out the door!

Like many celebrities, Jennifer has hit a few bumps in her road to success -- from a high-profile breakup with Ben Affleck to criticism for her vocal abilities. But La Jenny has proven herself to nay-sayers with platinum-selling albums and by launching her own clothing line, JLO. She even made history by becoming the first Latina in Hollywood to have a leading role in a film since Rita Hayworth, and to be paid more than $1 million per movie.

Jennifer has recently taken on several new starring roles, including wife (to singer Marc Anthony), mother (to twins Max and Emme) and now, judge on the current season of “American Idol.”

These days, when she’s not nurturing budding stars on “American Idol,” J.Lo can be caught modeling for a number of companies or putting finishing touches on her seventh studio album, Love?, set to release later this year.

However you trace Jennifer Lopez’s path to stardom -- as a dancer, an actress, a singer, a fashion trend-setter, producer or entrepreneur -- it’s undeniable that she has become the face of Latinas everywhere. From the dance floor to the boardroom, Jennifer creates her own definition of confidence where diva, classy business woman and down-to-earth home girl meet to inspire Latinas to strive for the best -- but to stay true to themselves while they do it.
