About

Hi there! I’m Lydia Poblano, known to some as Vintage Mama because of my tendency to sprinkle in a little vintage love in everything I do, including this unorthodox mom blog.

So how did I get here?

Well, before I entered the world of bloggy-land, I was an licensed skin care therapist living my dream of being immersed in skin care and makeup from morning ’til night. Doing facials, body treatments, waxing, makeup, conferences, training and reading everything I could get my hands on about the luxury side of beauty.

However when baby number 2 entered the scene, I came back home to raise my boys. The plan was to wait a few years before my triumphant return to the spa, but alas when baby boy number 3 was on his way (surprise!), I knew that the spa would just have to wait a bit longer.

So there I was, at home with 3 little rascals, with no one to do facials on, no one to talk makeup with, no eyebrows to shape into perfection, no spa conventions or airbrush makeup training.

So I did what many moms do when they get stuck in a funk, I stopped taking care of myself.

Well after a good, long funk, I decided it was time to get my groove back. And what better way to do that then by writing about it!

As I began to write about great skin care, easy makeup and everyday glamorous style, I caught the eye of  OC Family (a southern California magazine), who asked me to join their mom bloggers and and create their monthly fashion spreads for print.

And now the family…
