Holistic Señora Beauty

Have you ever heard of Quillay? It’s a saponin (frothy ingredient) that’s probably the world’s cleanest ingredient, which your great grandmother likely used. Use it to make your own shampoo, soap, and even detergent. Recipes will be in our upcoming book, we’re testing out a few now.

We had our own rosewater spray and experimented with lots of variations. Here’s how to make your own zero waste, two ingredient agua de rosa / rosewater spray. If you’re more of an advanced herbalist, here are three different methods.

Shakira drives a Lambo? She also uses marula oil and hyaluronic acid.

Our one ingredient, pure, no fragrance added Chilean rosehip oil is back in stock, bellas! Get it before it runs out again.

Here is my current evening skincare routine: Biossance retinol squaline night cream, followed by our Vamigas Everywhere cream on face and hands, and touched up with our one ingredient rosehip to lock in all the moisture. I then massage my hands and fingers for some relaxation.

Señora era is making a comeback. Also making a comeback: The nasty viruses from your great grandmother’s past. Ok great, I’m never leaving my house again.

There are no ifs ands or butts: Exercise will help you avoid getting the typical diseases of the elderly. Ever wonder why your abuelita and bisabuela passed at or nearly 100? They walked a lot, and lifted a lot of bags from the mercado.

But señora walks aren’t enough. You still need some muscular work.

Turns out, you can spring clean your brain for better nutrition, memory, and more.
