ABOUT ME

I am Precious. No, really. My name's Precious.

Born Maria Preciosa but called "Precious" by friends and family, I am also known as @bagsbabybody and @callmebymyrealname on Instagram.

Currently in my 30s and loving life in the Bay Area and in the Napa Wine Country, after struggling for half a decade with infertility, I finally gave birth in 2015 to my mini-me, a precocious little boy my husband, Sergs, and I named "Sebastian".

My other babies are my bags. I prefer to be "slightly" unapologetic about them as I can wear shoes and clothes from the flea market and still be stylish but that it's the company of Mademoiselle Chanel, Monsieur Vuitton, Signor Prada, Signor Gucci, Mr. Jacobs, and Ms. Burch that makes me feel gorgeous.

Between taking care of the Prieto Household, tending to my baby boy, watching HGTV reruns on Netflix and experimenting in the kitchen, you can also find me forever working on fitness and weight loss.

In this blog, you'd see that I am also a daughter, a sister, a friend, a Grammar Nazi, an aspiring professional writer, a foodie, a frustrated artist and photographer, a jewelry designer wannabe, and an opinionated neither-Republican-nor-Democrat.
