Thank you for reading our newsletter where 50K Señoras learn how to live their best life. Visit Senoraera.com for more Señora content and don’t forget to share with your amigas.

Señora Finds

It’s beginning to look a lot like otoño! It’s getting colder but the plus side means you can start making everything cozy, like your wardrobe.

Pair this $10 vest with cute boots, a Starbies iced matcha and your favorite concha.

Cozy up in this cardigan or this waffle crewneck while sitting around the campfire.

You’ll seriously never find a puffer jacket for a price better than this.

Well Being & Slow Living

Even doing one mile señora jogs a couple of times a week can help your long term health. Or you could sit in a hot tub for 30 min lol. (note: The Sun is full of gossip and fake news so take this tidbit with a grain of salt)

Turns out you don’t need to shower every day.

Retinol works, but you’ve got to use it carefully, and watch the side effects.

Garden Poder/Power

Some garden “hacks” simply don’t work and are fake plant news. Others totally do.

What to plant with your strawberries so that they actually grow. Also: Try and try again (mine didn’t grow until season 2).

That’s not garbage, it’s gardening materials. Don’t throw it out! One of my garden beds is half full of old logs.

Electricity prices are unhinged right now. Put just parts of your house off the grid using an external power source, like using a Bluetti portable power, that starts at around $200. I’ve got our garden and our Señora Era she-shed off the grid, plus we power our tools, and our camping trips.

Mama Mua!

Maribel is an LA based Pro Makeup artist and content creator in our community whom we love to follow on tiktok and Instagram. She knows your skin - and she’s also a busy mama of 5 littles. Here’s her typical routine.

What’s your morning routine after getting out of bed?
Times usually vary for wake-up everyday as I’m a stay at home mama of 5 and I’m still breastfeeding on demand around the clock but usually I wake up between 8 & 9 am every morning, I thank God for another day of life and my husband brushes our kids teeth while I brush mine and I start making the coffee.

What 3 skincare products are you using now to get ready for the day?
Kleer brand jelly cleanser (super gentle and hydrating on my dry eczema prone skin), common heir ceramide barrier serum (major glow + barrier supporting serum, it’s like an oil and serum had a baby- just beautiful!) & Dr.Loretta universal glow daily defense mineral sunscreen fluid spf 40 (so glowy, no cast & no scent)

On a perfect day, what’s your favorite lunchtime meal and food brands?
Favorite lunchtime meal: tortilla chips, scrambled eggs and salsa!

What are your favorite caffeine or caffeine alternatives to keep up your energy?
It’s always caffeine for me tbh lol I don’t do caffeine alternatives, not with five kids haha

What’s your favorite tip to wind down?
Watching a comforting tv show like Friends or The Office or even a movie I enjoy that’s mainly drama, like ‘Because I Said So’ works. There’s something about watching movies you love and rewatch that help you wind down (at least for me).

Do you take supplements or powders and if so, which ones?
I just just take my postnatal supplements from Anya - love that they don’t make me nauseous or taste horrible as most do. I don’t take gummies cause I don’t like that they get stuck to my teeth!

Do you work out or do yoga?
I don’t work out or do yoga but you know what, this serves me as a reminder while I’m being transparent to take initiative because I miss feeling good, feeling sexy and feeling healthy.

What’s your evening wind down and what’s your skincare routine like?
Evening wind down would definitely be brushing all my babies teeth, watching something calm like Miss Rachel, or a movie that bores them so they fall asleep and make life easier for me (haha)
