ABOUT MARIA

Houston lifestyle blogger Maria Munoz

I’m Maria and welcome to BellaStyleLiving.com – my little corner of the internet. I started Bella Style Living in 2018 to fulfill a creative void in my life.

I’ve always been a lover of fashion, beauty, and an aesthetically pleasing and serene lifestyle. After getting married, having a couple of kiddos, and years in the banking industry, I decided to get back to occupying what little time I had left in the day to create this site.

I truly find great joy as a content creator sharing style and beauty finds with my community and am so happy you are here to join us.

My hope for BSL is to foster a community of women who can come together, understand, and share in the same interests, struggles, and life moments. Being a mother and wife is my greatest joy but not my only identity.

I feel it’s just as important for women to find their purpose and own interests. Only then can you completely and intentionally pour into your loved ones. I want to create a space where you can come get inspired with styling, beauty, and lifestyle tips and truths that can serve you.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 95% of the items I share on Instagram stories, posts, YouTube, or here on the blog can be found on my LTK profile. You may also check out my Shop and Amazon Storefront page which are all linked on the top of my BSL homepage.
I am 5'6" and wear size 4 in dresses, blazers, and slacks. I wear 27-28 in denim and size 10 in shoes (sometimes 9.5). My feet grew a whole size thanks to my two pregnancies.
Monday-Friday I'm at the office so I tend to keep it natural. Usually a neutral eye, mascara, and nude or pinky lip. I alternated between CoverGirl BB cream in 510 Fair, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in Vanille, and CoverGirl TruBlend Matte Made in L60 if I need a bit more coverage. I use Tarte's Tartlette in Bloom and It Cosmetics Superhero mascara.
I'm big on Target because of the value. The clothes are so cute and affordable. I also really like H&M and Zara Kids because of the trendy styles. Olivia is more T-shirts and pants/leggings and Ava is my girly girl. She loves wearing dresses. Amazon also has a great selection of affordable shoes for kids. I've linked a ton of stuff on the Shop tab on the homepage.
Most of the time, I like wearing denim and a cute, feminine top. I think my style evolves with my mood, but comfort is always a determining factor. If I can't pick up my kids it's a no (assuming i'm with them of course, mom and dad time is a whole other story.) I really like fitted clothes that have structure. I've been gravitating towards more neutral, classic styles like a structured blazer, straight-legged pants, and muted colors.

Hi there! So happy you're here. My name is Maria -- content creator, blogger, wife, mother of 2 and lover of all things fashion, beauty, and home. Take a look around...I think you'll like it here.
