We’re getting so close to summer, we can almost taste it! And speaking of tasting, this week’s guest is an expert at wanderlust flavors. We interview Adrienne Borlongan, co-founder of Wanderlust Creamery, an artisanal ice cream shop in Los Angeles. She creates all of the flavors, just opened their sixth store location and still has time to be a boss mama to her 3 littles. We talk about why delegation is one of the biggest lessons she learned since opening her business, and all the help that goes into running her successful family business. This interview is fun, insightful and leave you craving a sweet treat. And don’t worry if you’re not local to L.A. - the shop ships nationwide!
More about Adrienne: Adrienne Borlongan is the Creative partner & Co-founder of Wanderlust Creamery.
The Granddaughter of a flavor chemist from magnolia ice cream, Adrienne developed her palate & understanding of flavor theory while working as a mixologist, crafting multiple cocktail programs for SBE hospitality.
Adrienne has a unique passion to globalize palates through unique yet familiar ice cream flavors. She is a mama to three babies all under the age of three. She and her husband own and operate Wanderlust Creamery’s six locations and a weekly pop up at Smorgasburg in Los Angeles, California.
One of our favorite amigas is back on the show! This week we talk to Jacqui Saldaña of Baby Boy Bakery. She’s one of the OG mama bloggers and has been creating content for family for years.

She has so many goals and ideas coming soon, we can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
Before the episode, we’re also talking about how big Augustina is getting! She’s getting ready to start her solid foods journey and Bricia is really focused on using the RIE parenting method again. We did an episode about this technique a few years ago, but we’re thinking it’s time for a refresher course! You can listen to that episode on Spotify here.
Also, Paulina might have shared a secret about her growing family on the episode. 😉 But you’ll have to tune in to find out!

Cookies! Because she’s a stress/emotional baker. Check out some delicious cookie recipes from her site including Sugar Cookies 4 Ways and a simple Brownie Cookie recipe.
She also loves organizing her closets. So relaxing!
Bricia is loving two protein powders right now. It’s so easy for her to add them to morning smoothies when she needs a quick breakfast.
Ora Organic - There are a few different flavors but she loves vanilla.
Four Sigmatic - This plant based protein gives Bricia so much energy, which is helpful because she’s detoxing from caffeine this month.
Paulina’s pick is also health related. She recently read an article about gut health and was inspired to do some more research for her nine year old, Krista, who is lactose intolerant. These Garden of Life probiotics for kids have helped her so much! Her skin condition and overall gut health have really improved. It reminded of an older episode we did about poop - yes, poop and the mind/gut connection. Maybe it’s time for a refresher episode on gut health too!.

Check it out, it’s a new episode! This week we interview Chef Ida Rodriguez, a corporate chef at Melissa’s Produce, the largest distributor of produce in the United States 🥕🌽🌶 (and at our restaurant!). Hatch Chile season only comes once a year and Chef Ida is teaching us all about it - the history, its heat levels and the BEST ways to eat the chiles. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how you can experience a live chile roasting, and make sure you listen to the episode with snacks, because it’s going to make you hungry! 🤤
Before the interview, Bricia talks about how she’s hooked on a new show, Euphoria, and how the female characters make her nervous to ever have a daughter. Paulina also had her cumbia party last weekend and it was so much fun! It was chill, there was good bites of food, and even the cops made an appearance! 🚔🚨 It might have to be an annual party. 😉 They also attended an all-women-in-the-restaurant-industry brunch and had a great time speaking with so many empowering intellectual women.
On another note, we want to send love, healing energy & prayers to the families of the victims and all others affected by the senseless shootings at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. We talk about the festival during this episode, but we recorded the interview prior to the incident which is why we don’t mention it during the episode. We’re sending lots of light to all those suffering because of these shootings.
Paulina is currently loving the lotion she was gifted by Leah of Brujita Skincare. It’s a Palo Santo + Jasmine lotion. Lately she’s been having issues with perfumes on skin, but this after applying this lotion, the scent really mellows out and she’s received so many compliments. Follow @brujitaskincare on Instagram and check out her restock on brujitaskincare.com in August!
Bricia’s pick is Euphoria on HBO because it’s THAT good. Watch it here.
