Kika Rocha Interview

Kika Rocha was such a pleasure to speak with! She has some great advice on just about everything! Of course, she is well known for her amazing style and fabulous tips for keeping us looking and feeling our best.  We had the opportunity to talk to her about motherhood, fashion, and of course, her favorite gifts of the Season!  Check out the video to see her favorite items.  She shared with us the little emergency she had the morning of our interview and reminded us that she is going through the same things all moms experience in parenting. Some of her great advice included the following:

On Parenting & Life

  • Always have extra help
  • Prepare
  • Have good friends and neighbors
  • Be nice to people because we never know when that person might need you or you might need that person
  •   You can always find five minutes in the morning.  Wake up five minutes earlier and put a little moisturizer on your face.
  • Sometimes you really have to think one size bigger, and you actually look slimmer.  You can pair them with cute leggings or a skirt.
  • Starting your day with a little bit of hot water and lime juice really helps to cleanse, keep you going, and lose weight, too!

Kika’s Gift Ideas

  • Disney Plush Toys such as Frozen, Elsa, all under $50.00.
  • Nike sweatshirts, also under $50.00.
  • Pajamas by Liz Claiborne are a classic gift for the women in your life!
  • Classic knit sweaters.  St. John’s Bay has classic knit sweaters.
  • Arizona has a cute option with a hashtag.
  • Scarves with printed animals.
  • Necklace, ring, pendants under $200.00.
  • Gadgets:  Coffee mug that keeps your coffee warm all day.  All-in-one-tool.  Both under $20.00
