Episode 323: Keeping It Real with the Super Mamas: Crazy Parties, Back to School and Spa Water Vibes

Our summer is ending, but that doesn’t mean the fun is stopping for these Super Mamas! On this week’s episode, Paulina is back from Oaxaca and the sisters have a good ol’ catch-up session. We talk about Bricia’s adventures being a blonde; she says people are a lot nicer but people also accused her of spa water vibes. 🤣 Bricia also attended a crazy party that made her feel like she was in Vegas, and their little sister Liz turned 30! We’re also staring to get into back-to-school mode with Krista, Paulina’s oldest, starting middle school and Augustina, Bricia’s youngest, going into a daycare program. It seems like summer is officially over, our kids are growing up before our eyes and we might not be ready for it! 

Pick or Tip of the Week

Two of the BEST shows Bricia has seen this year are The Offer with Miles Teller and The Bear on Hulu. She also recently watched the cutest movie with Eduardo when they had a mom & son date night - Princess Protection Program on Disney+.

Paulina is asking for tips this week! She hates seeing electronics cables all over her house, so she purchased these cable wraps, but she really wants to know if anyone has any has any better, maybe prettier suggestions to hiding cables in your home. We’ll put up an Instagram Story later this week, but you can also send us a DM or email us at hello@supermamas.com with suggestions!

Episode 256: Keeping It Real with the Super Mamas: Libras, Birthday Surprises, and No More Babies

There so many Libras in our family! In this episode, we catch you up on all of our birthday celebrations. Bricia’s perfect day of birthday surprises included everything from getting her hair done to incredible one of a kind meals. For Paulina, it meant their third annual family birthday trip to Big Bear where they celebrate not only her birthday, but Krista and Sabina’s too!

It’s crazy how fast time has gone this year and how quickly all of the kids are growing up. We’re not sure if we’re ready to accept that our babies Zixta and Eddie, aren’t babies anymore. 😢 We also give you an update on what our Halloween plans are for this year. We’re planning on creating family costumers and need to get on it now! 2020 might not be the best year, but at least all of the Libra birthdays were perfect!

Tips for Constipation

This might be a little TMI, but we’ve also talked about a lot worse on the podcast. 🤣 While Paulina and her family were in Big Bear, they all experienced trouble going to the bathroom - every single one of them was constipated! She later learned it was High Altitude Sickness, but she reached out to you, our lovely listeners, to share tips to make the bathroom trips a little easier. Here’s everything you suggested.

• Drink more water!

• A capful of apple cider vinegar

• Add raw oatmeal to your smoothies

• Boil tamarindo and drink it like tea

• Coconut water to help increase electrolytes

• Drink water with mined garlic in the morning after fasting

• Stretch! Lay on your back, bend your right knee toward your chest and right hip. Continue with left knee.

• Jugo desinflamante - 1 cup of water, a handful of parsley, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, 1 cucumber (peeled). Blend together. One serving size.

Pick or Tip of the Week

Paulina’s pick this week came in handy during their recent trip to Big Bear. Her family suffers from a lot of skin issues (eczema, psoriasis, and more) and the high altitude/thin air left them with really dry skin. Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion formula has helped them so much, both on and off the mountain, because it’s formulated to help all of their skin needs.

TIP: Use twice the amount of lotion during the winter for extra hydration. It’s great for the belly when you’re pregnant!

Bricia was working on a project this week where she was required to have her nails done and since she’s not going to go out for a manicure any time soon, she remembered she had these press on nails - Kiss press on nails. She filed them down a little to be less square and to give them more of a natural look and they got the job done! She’ll give us an update next week to see how they’ve lasted haha.
