Episode 214: Oaxaca Cookbook: Writing from the Heart of @theglutster, Javier Cabral

Get excited for this new episode! First, our family cookbook, OAXACA: Home Cooking From the Heart of Mexico, is out today! (Get it on Amazon now - bit.ly/OaxacaCookbook) We’re celebrating by talking to our friend of over a decade and co-writer of the book, Javier Cabral. The Glutster has been writing about food since he was 16 years old and now he’s the editor of LA TACO. We talk about how his obsession with food began and how he took something negative in his life and turned it into a lifelong career.  We also discuss  the year long process of writing the Oaxaca Cookbook, and the respect he has for all the women in his life. This episode will make you laugh hard, your heart swoon, and your stomach hungry!

Pick or Tip of the Week

The Lopez-Velasquez birthdays have finally finished, but Paulina is sharing a great party hack that you’ll love. Since her daughters’ birthdays are back to back to back, she decided not to throw any birthday parties this year. Instead, she bought balloons by the dozen at Target, different character balloons for each of the girls (like unicorns!) and golden number balloons for their age. Paulina also bought a small helium tank, which was her only investment for birthdays this year. It looked like a big party for the girls for a small price!

Bricia is really trying to keep up with her no shopping vow, so she’s turning her pick of the week into “things she would have bought but didn't.” 😂 Her friend, Martha, is so stylish and wore a beautiful knitted, unstructured coat during their trip to Nashville two weeks ago. If you’re on the hunt for a nice fall coat, go to Macys.com and search for “Mango coat.”

Episode 206: Keeping Up with the Super Mamas: Back to the Grind

We’re back on the mic, back to school and back to the grind! It’s been a while since we brought you an update because yes, we forgot to upload an episode last week 🤦🏽‍♀️ but we’ve been pretty busy. We announced our new family cookbook (pre-order it on Amazon here!), Bricia has been traveling to Las Vegas to prep the new bar opening next month, and Paulina is back from Oaxaca and her daughters have started school. Basically, it’s been a whirlwind and this isn’t even half of it.

Pick or Tip of the Week

Paulina pick this week is the store, The Children’s Place, for school uniforms. It came up on her Amazon feed as a brand while she was shopping last minute for the girls’ uniforms. It’s a wonder she has never thought of it before because everything is so inexpensive! There are so many options and colors, she’s definitely coming here next time she has to stock up on uniforms.

Per usual, Bricia has a bougie ass pick. 😂 She has been traveling a lot and someone asked her what her top 3 things when she travels. One of her must have products are under eye patches. Her facialist, Natalie, never pushes products on her, but when Bricia asked for under eye patches to preps her skin for makeup, she recommended CHANEL Firming - Anti-Wrinkle Flash Eye Revitalizer patches - and they actually work. There are 10 patches in a box for $130 (that’s $13 per patch). Put the serum on, then the patch, leave on for 10-15 minutes and when you remove, you look really awake and it makes a difference. If you’re getting married, going to a special event or it’s your birthday, make the splurge. It works!
