It’s friday, friday (Did you know Rebecca Black is half Mexican too?)

You’re a busy señora, so let’s get into it.

Señora Beauty & Wellness

Selena Gomez got her curtain bangs back and we’re here for them.

Here are the best hair masks. I have the Sol De Janeiro but the smell is strong in this one.

We have a tip for you. One of our amigas, celebrity brow guru Giselle Soto over at Giselle Soto brows, recommended I try Kosas tinted eyebrow gel over at Sephora. Running to get it!

Throw in some of our Chilean rosehip oil from Target and you’re all set.

Are you getting real rest? You’d be surprised.

There’s Ozempic face and Ozempic butt. Now there’s reports of Ozempic personality. What is it? 

Could removing your ovaries with a hysterectomy increase your risk of stroke, dementia and heart disease?

So does oil pulling actually work or is it all fake teeth news?

Outdoor adventures are really good as you age. Is it time for our señora trekking era?

Plantitas, Tecito Time & Life

Meghan Markle is hosting a cooking show on Netflix, and launching her own jams brand for your tecito. The Royal Palance couldn’t help but possibly throw some shade.

Meetings are B.S. Send this to your boss.

Summer will be here before you know it, so cook those sopitas (soups) while you still can, like this sopa de fideo y frijoles.

Did you know that before shampoo, conditioner, detergent, and dishwashing pods were even invented there was your great abuelita’s famous soap, made from tree bark? Wait, have we all been conned by good marketing campaigns?

Is this East Hollywood vegan market the coolest grocery store in the world?

Liked our Tiktok Elderberry syrup video? Grab the recipe while there’s still a tiktok! There’s now actual research that shows elderberry may support you when you’re feeling under the weather.

Elderberry syrup (not our great grandmothers’ we just found this ourselves)

  • 1 cup dried elderberry or elderberry herbal mix (get it at your local herb shop or apothecary or hippie grocery store)

  • 4 cups filtered water

  • 1 cup honey

  1. Add water and herbs to a large pot and bring to a boil

  2. Simmer for 45 min to 1 hour (monitor it so that it doesn’t get goopy)

  3. Let it cool

  4. Strain with a strainer, and add purple liquid back to the pot

  5. Slowly add honey and stir while heating until it reaches your desired consistency

  6. Add to mason jar and store in the fridge for a few days

Oye, did you know your business and brand actually needs to look nice? It absolutely makes a difference and influences how you’ll attract in more customers.

I think that part of the beauty of Vamigas was my co founder Christina’s eye for design, behind things like our box and label elements, to what colors should go together, to the website. I would absolutely not have been able to pull that off on my own. 

Luckily you can have your very own Christina by connecting with Gabriela at Girasol Design Studio. Gabriela is an amiga over at our Señora Era community. She will help take your business into its growth era by reimagining your design and brand in a way that will really resonate with your audience. Trust us, you'll need it!

Lets get to know Gabriela’s señora wellness routine:

  1. Whats your ultimate señora tip, maybe something you learned from your mom, grandma or even great grandmother

    Vaseline keeps your skin nice and moisturized daily (anywhere! face, hands, legs) 

  2. What’s your morning routine after getting out of bed?

     First things first, I thank God and the universe for another day, brush my teeth and make cafecito

  3. What 3 wellness or self-comfort products are you using now to get ready for the day?

    I’m a mom so I’m always on the go, so I always have my Aquaphor lip balm, a hair clip, and my Rare Beauty Mascara mini.

  4. On a perfect day, what’s your favorite lunchtime meal?

    A good grilled salmon with rice and avocado 

  5. What are your favorite caffeine or caffeine alternatives to keep up your energy?

    A good morning walk and making sure I have an apple and some almonds too.

  6. What’s your favorite tip to wind down?

    Taking time to breathe and just go outside helps me wind down 

  7. Do you take supplements or powders and if so, which ones? 

    Women’s daily supplements and collagen.

  8. Do you workout, do yoga, go for walks? If so, whats your current routine?

    ZUMBA! (Talk about entering your Señora era)

  9. How about your evening routine?

    Making sure I drink a bottle of water before bed and then putting the baby down to sleep, washing my face, putting in all my serums and then finally brushing my hair right before bed so it doesn’t tangle up #CurlyHairProblems.
