Episode 218: Live Your Story & Get What You Want with Gardenia Ramirez of @lolaytula

Did you miss us? We’re back with a new episode after a holiday break! This week, we sit down with Gardenia Ramirez, founder and owner of LOLA Y TULA, a curated collection of handmade Mexican folk art. She talks about her “little” business she created out of love, passion, and necessity, plus all about her family and how her mom showed her that you should always go further, learn more, and get what you want. She really believes that you can have a big idea, but you need to believe in yourself, try all the things, have a good product, plan, & story - then you’ll make it.

Before the episode, Bricia also shares about her surprise wedding anniversary trip, and it’s a story you’ll want to share with your partner as inspiration for your next couple’s getaway. If you haven’t heard the story about white roses, you’ll want to listen to our Valentine’s Day episode from a few years ago. To keep it short and sweet, her husband surprised her with an incredible trip to Napa, packed all of her outfits for her (that was a surprise on it’s own), and took her to The French Laundry. Check out the rest of her itinerary below!

Pick or Tip of the Week

Bricia really wanted her pick of the week to be the perfect date dress that her husband surprised her with during their trip (look at how cute they are at the French Laundry), but she can’t find it ANYWHERE. So she changed it to these great boots from Macy’s, and she always gets a ton of compliments whenever she wears them. She has them in white and black, super comfortable!

Paulina’s tip is very Paulina. It’s the Arnicare Pain Relief Gel, and it’s great for sore muscles. It was in a gift bag that she received earlier this year, and it really came in handy after she ran her half marathon next month.
