The star was seen walking on the beach and standing on steps as she enjoyed a break in the rain that Los Angeles has been experiencing this week, which has been welcome after a long drought.
‘Dear, Santa. You can find me at the beach this year. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve loves and stay safe. Did you finish all your xmas shopping?

The siren also noted that she had a glam team get her look together with her hair done by Rene Cortez, makeup by Akemi and a spray tan by Golden Glo Tans.
Blanca broke the news about her book exclusively with DailyMail.com in October.
The beauty’s early years were a 180 where she had to suffer physical abuse from her father and also live a life of poverty in Washington state that saw her reside in a garage for years.
‘I wrote ‘BREAKING THE MOLD’ during the COVID lockdown, as I felt my story could help others because poverty and abuse has been increasing. I will take you on my journey from poverty to success and how I made it happen,’ the Mission: Possible actress told DailyMail.com.
She has shared the tricks to staying trim: The star says she visits the gym often and during lockdown used her Peloton bike

‘I share and provide tools and techniques that worked for me,’ she said about her book which is coming out from Briton Publishing.
The Cannes Film Festival favorite added, ‘My book is an autobiography and I share about childhood poverty, abuse, and how I overcame it. I feel it will motivate readers if they are caught in a bad situation.’
She was isolated during her painful youthful, never having the support system she really needed, especially at school.
‘I never told my classmates about our poverty, living in a garage, because I wanted to be treated just like them – a normal kid! No one knew, not even the teachers.’
She also shared an excerpt with DailyMail.com about the abuse she endured.
‘It happened when we were living in Mexico as children but the abuse continued throughout the years.
Her father was not loving, she said, and instead he was an ‘abusive father and husband.’
‘He used to beat us and used a “Chicote” a type of switch or whip used to control horses to beat us with,’ she shared.

‘He even held his gun to our mother’s head and threatened to shoot her right in front of us. We were all scared of him, especially our mother. We were all crying and trying to protect our mother who he had pushed into the bed and we were surrounding her and begging him not to shoot.
‘His rage and uncontrolled anger was all because she was asking him to give her money to buy us food when he suddenly snapped.
‘This continued even when we were older. He went to attack me when our mother was dying but that time I squared up to him and dared him to touch me. Now I was older and not afraid of him any more. He backed down, shocked that I challenged him!’
Blanco was born in Watsonville, California.
At three-years old, her family moved to Southwest Mexico.
Her father was a police officer there and was shot twice forcing the family to return to the U.S., to, hopefully, live the American Dream. Blanca was nine-years-old.
A graduate even though her dad was abusive: ‘He used to beat us and used a “Chicote” a type of whip,’ she said
Her family of seven lived in poverty for her entire childhood, residing in a small garage with no hot water, no shower and no heat while facing the frigid winters of Washington State.
They then moved into a tiny trailer in a small trailer park, often with unsafe water causing sickness.
She attended Chelan High School where she became determined not to remain in poverty.
Upon leaving school she became the school’s role model for younger graduating students and made a motivational video to help them.
With the help of her guardian angel, a teacher who cared, she said, she achieved ‘full ride scholarships enabling her to continue on to college then to university.’
She became the first Latina woman in the area to go to college working hard in order to graduate and continue her full ride scholarships, where she took an associate of science degree from Spokane Falls Community College.
She then went on to Washington State University achieving a 4.0 grade average and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology followed by master’s degree in social work from Eastern Washington State University.
Her first job after receiving her Master’s in Social Work degree was working in hospice care. Deciding to follow her dreams, she moved to Los Angeles where she became an actress and studied under Gordon Hunt (Helen Hunt’s father).
She immediately landed many roles in film and television. The star achieved a Best Supporting Actress award for her role as Melanie in the movie Betrayed.
The foreword is by Edward I. Byrnes, Ph.D. Professor of Social Work – Eastern Washington University.
