Welcome to your Señora Long Weekend: It’s a three day weekend , so act like it!
~ Ann & Christina ~

The first ten comadres who pre order on Amazon or Barnes and Noble between today and Memorial Day Monday, will be shipped a free Vamigas Rosehip and Papaya Lip Mask. Just reply to this email within that time with A) a copy of your receipt and B) your mailing address (US residents only).
TECITO TIME
Gut Busted: They may have found the secret to early onset colon cancer: you’re at risk if you had this bug before the age of ten. And this is the #1 food to help decrease your risk of this type of cancer.
Speaking of: Have you had all your screenings? Run don’t walk if you haven’t, because we want you around for a long time, bestie.
These are the safest cups for cafecito (hint: avoid plastic, porque uno nunca sabe).
Coffee Talk: If you’re not partying poolside this Memorial Day weekend, cuddle up with some of your Cubana friend’s favorite café or some loose leaf yerba mate, put on your fuzziest socks, or slippies, and grab this book of stories from some of the biggest names in Latin American fiction.
Jabon del Huerto: In the book, we talk about how before commercial soap, your family in Latin America cherished their own soap blends made from tallow, lye, and botanicals sourced from their orchards and ranchos. Each family had a signature recipe. We’re launching exclusive and limited “drops” of orchard soaps with flavors you’ll love, like huerto de naranja, which will remind you of that big fat orange tree in the back of your abuela’s ranchito when you were growing up.
Riñon Raves: It’s National Fitness Month, and the National Kidney Foundation wants you to remember that your kidney needs a workout too: “Physical activity isn’t just about staying in shape — it’s a frontline defense against the conditions that harm our kidneys,” told us Dr. Kirk Campbell, President at the National Kidney Foundation. “Exercise plays a critical role in controlling diabetes and high blood pressure — the two leading causes of kidney disease.”
Allergia Mode On: If this feels like the worst allergy season ever – that’s because it is.
From Our Book: Wellness, but make it ancestral
Did your abuela ever hand you a tecito for a tummy ache or tell you to get some sun first thing in the morning? Turns out, she was ahead of every wellness trend rn. In Radical Señora Era, we unpack how everyday señora habits – like cooking from scratch, going out to her rancho or her huerto for garden chores first thing in the morning, eating chicken, rice and beans —are now showing up in research as some of the healthiest things you can do.
SEÑORA SALUD
Let’s be real: peeing a little when you sneeze isn’t just a thing your tia does and laughs about it. Painful sex, constipation that feels like you’re contorting harder than an artist at Cirque du Soleil, and the mystery pressure in your veejay? Also not things we should just suck up because we hit 35 and had a baby once.
Enter Dr. Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer, a pelvic floor physical therapist with 13M TikTok views and almost a million followers who wants our comadres to know that leaking pee isn’t normal, painful sex isn’t inevitable, and your pelvic floor has been quietly screaming for attention this whole time. With 18 years of experience, a TED talk, and a brand new book called Floored, she’s on a mission to help us ditch the shame and take control of our pelvic health—no jade eggs or wifi enabled gadgets required.
We asked Dr. Reardon some very non-BS questions about what’s going on down there—from diastasis recti to why you’re still scared to poop after your C-section. You’re going to want to forward this to every señora in your group chat who’s been complaining about pain down there.
