In 2014, with nothing more than their personal laptops and a vision to create a space for Spanglish speaking Latinas like them, a sister duo team launched spanglishgirl.com, a Latina lifestyle blog.
Inspired by the success of their blog, in 2017 they began to develop a line of apparel, stationary, and novelty gift items to add to the Spanglish Girl brand through a Spanglish Girl Collection and Shop.
Cristina’s unique writing style, which embraces the use of Spanglish and centers around Latina-American life, has helped to define the Spanglish Girl brand as a celebration of the proud, independent, and unapologetic Latina woman.
Cristina is the author of the Spanglish Girl Diaries, a blog series loosely based on her life. In addition to being an entrepreneur and writer, she has worked in the fields of public relations and law.
In her spare time, Cristina enjoys reading, traveling, writing, and being in nature.
Monica is the founder of the Spanglish Girl Blog, previously The Spanglish Girl’s Guide. In 2013, she began developing the concept of Spanglish Girl, later recruiting her sisters to join her in growing the blog into a media and lifestyle brand.
Monica has a formal education in studio art with an emphasis in drawing and painting. Some of her more notable projects are featured at spanglishgirl.com, such as the Spanglish Girl Problems: a series of memes and comics based on her Mexican-American upbringing. Monica’s creative talent, education in design, and unique style have propelled Spanglish Girl into a marketable and competitive lifestyle brand.
When Monica is not working, she can be found reading, researching family history, or creating art. And always at her side you will find her loyal canine companion, Stinky, an adorable chihuahua.
