• 5:15
  Speaker 1: into one of our favorite segments. You know what it is.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We love oyolokas and we love to hear the questions
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that you all have for us. So what are the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: listeners want to know this time? This is a very
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: great question. So this question is how do you juggle
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: double life? Does that ever make you feel like people
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in your personal life are not genuinely here from you? Interesting?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's a good question, you know. I want to say, like,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this definitely makes me feel like hashtag no new friends.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I think that like people that are newer to my life. Um.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not talking about anybody in particularly, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like if they're a newer friend, like I'm fully more
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: um with, like I have my guard up a little
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: bit more like if you've known me pre podcasts, like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously we've been friends for a long time,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but now I'm definitely more hesitant as to who wants
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: my energy and why. That's very real. I think that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the struggle that I have juggling the double life is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I get so tired, and when I am
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: tired and I'm just like very low energy, it's hard
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: for me to show love and appreciation to the people
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in my personal life because I like just want to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: sleep or just be by myself, especially when so much
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of what we do is talking talking talking talking and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: talking to others and socializing and the panels and the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: workshops and the events, and we love it and it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: all very fun. On top of that, I'm a teacher,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: so I'm talking to talk all day. I would I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: think about that whenever we're going to go facilitate, I'm like, damn,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Mama has been like literally presenting and talking all day long.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, like that double life. It's the double
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the energy, and I feel I feel bad that I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: can't genuinely be there for those that I love all
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the time. But you know, I think, as the as
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the project continues to grow, this is a good problem
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to have. Just have to figure it out. And I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: haven't figured it out yet, But part of it is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: because we don't have like a stability. We're still in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: flux as it continues to grow, so I don't know
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it'll level out. I think eventually, Yeah, you know, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: do want to say, like, I had this experience where
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: somebody messaged me because they said, like I love your energy,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: like I'm just like so drawn to you and gravitated
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to to you, and like would it be okay if
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like we meet up for dinner or lunch or coffee
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: or something, and like it seemed generally interested in being
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: my friend. Well I did, and the vibe was a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: little bit weird. I'm not gonna lie, and then it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: turned out and I remember that this person was like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we talked about them in of like previous
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: where they like basically um had a picture on the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Instagram that was like not okay, and when community members
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: tried holding them accountable, blocked everybody, and then we were
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And then we were held accountable for this person because
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we had worked with her on a shoot. So then
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this person goes to us, and it really hurt me
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: because this person came at me like they wanted to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be my friend and was actually really disingenuous and then
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: ended up just like sucking ghosting me. And I'm like, oh,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: this is how you treat your friends. So I think
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that experience really taught me, Like even on the professional
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: level if the vibe isn't necessarily right, like just then
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: don't do it, like just trust that and like trust
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: your intuition. And I didn't, So I think back now, like, oh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: had I actually listened to what my gut was telling me,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have got into all of that, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And it was definitely a lesson for us, I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: as the platform was growing and how to like respond
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to like community accountability and calls and action. So I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think if there's a silver lining, it was that, you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it taught us how to respond to that. It was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: definitely a major lesson. That was a learning process the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: entire beginning to end, because literally from the beginning to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the end, like there were funck ups and there were
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: lessons about each like element. And I think too, it's like,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: look like in the Latin X creative space, the POC
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: creative space, so much of our dialogue and our rhetoric
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is about community, community, community, community, community, So then I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: think we sometimes forget that community also includes complete strangers
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that we actually don't know at all. And that's also
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a hard truth to tell and to recognize and be
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: realistic about. Someone can be your your fucking neighbor and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: be a fucking stranger to you. You know, just because
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you're technically in community does not mean that you have
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the best intentions for us or that or that we're
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: going to vibe or that there's you in an organic
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: friendship there. We can hold space for each other, we
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: can respect each other, we can make room for each other,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't Community doesn't mean that you have to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: give it all up and let your whole guard down
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and let people in and trample all over. I think
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that's a big lesson that for me, just kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: observing how a lot of this community rhetoric can actually
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: be weaponized or can be kind of dangerous. Yeah, it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: almost like you have to be accessible to everyone, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: actually I don't know the content can be accessible for everyone,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but me as a person like I don't necessarily need
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to put myself out there for everybody, you know and all. Yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: so I mean I think, yeah, like that's it does
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: make me question who's genuinely here and who's not. You know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, we learned as we go, Yeah, we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: learned as we go. I mean we have now in
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the past three years, I think we can identify, like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who are real ones are because they really have been
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: showing up for us over and over and over again.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Um our team, our fames, you know, whether that's like
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: our illustrators, our friends and family who volunteer at our
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: life shows and events, like the folks that help us
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: put our creative projects together, who are respectful when we
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: want to keep things low in secret, you know, like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: they're really and they're working, They're putting in work. That
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is for me, a sign of love and mutual respect. Absolutely. Yeah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And I think it also shows us, like, you know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to equally show up for for our our people that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: do show up for us, you know, and like how
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: are we supporting them? And how can we love on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: them publicly you know and love out loud the way
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: we ask folks to love out loud for us. How
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: can we do that for them too? Absolutely, it's all
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a process. Who yes the word? Next question? Alright? So
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it is graduation season, y'all, And we have gotten this
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: question multiple times in the past few years. So this
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: question is graduating in May. So by the time this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: is how you've already graduated. Congratulations. How was leaving college
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and going back home? How was that change? So we
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: have talked many, many times about graduating college and then
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: moving back in with our families, and here's the gags.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: We're still with our families. I've been out of college
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: for five years, and that's what we were talking about,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like before we started recording. Like it's funny that we
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: get this question, not because it's like not a good question,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but because it's like we've actually been out of college
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: for a while now, you know, and it's like it
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: feels like it was just recent, but no, it's actually
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: been a few years. Like I graduated in so it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: been a while. It's been a while. And I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that the political climate, the economy, the wild craziness of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the world. I think college is crazier right now than
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: it was when we were there. I think current college students,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like our listeners who fly us out and stuff, are
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: dealing with some ship that at a different level of intensity.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: They're dealing with like white supremacy like at its peak,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: not that it's ever been gone, but people are just
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: so much more emboldened to be lick about it um
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And I think that that's what makes it different than
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: when we were in undergrad Like Barack Obama was still
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: president so not that things were like fucking fine and dandy,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: because we know that they weren't, like you know, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the political climate was definitely different. Yeah, So you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think that our experience necessarily will always speak
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to what today's graduates are dealing with. But the thing
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about moving home, moving back home is like I was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: talking to Yessica about this the other day because I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: think there are so many of us who are like
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Latina Latin X creators and such who are at home.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Like We're not the only ones. There's a lot of us,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of us, And I think that, you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: there is this sort of weird social pressure to like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: go live on your own, meaning don't live with your family,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: go rent somewhere, have multiple roommates, give your money to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a rando landlord, pay all kinds of money and fees
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to go live far away from your family or apart
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: from your family. But it's like for what for to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: who's to whose benefit? Who is benefiting there? Now I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: speaking as someone who has a great relationship with my family,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and my family loves me and they would have me
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: stay there until the day I die, Like they don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: want me to go. You know, and they're not an
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: abusive family, Like, they're very loving, so I can be
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: there and be happy and healthy. That's not true for everybody,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: but it's like moving home does not have to be
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. We can think of it as instead
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of giving my money that I work hard for to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: some random white landlord, I'm giving my money to my
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: grandmother directly. Right. If I'm going to buy food, I'm
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: helping to feed my family. Right. If I'm going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do any kind of if I'm going to do any
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: kind of labor like in the yard or whatever, it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like benefiting the community, the household. That's how I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: about it. And I think that, you know, find the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: value in it. Yeah, you know, I feel the same way.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Like I'm was fortunate enough to come back home and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: my parents, Well, my mom is a homeowner, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so I I help my mom pay the mortgage, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I would rather that so that eventually she can her
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: home as opposed to renting to someone and having like
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you know, we live in a in l A like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: there's a housing crisis. You know, there's no rent control
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: or there is, but it doesn't necessarily you know, it's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: not for every single building. You know, it is very minimal.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So you know, when I think about that, like I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: would rather, you know, help my mom one day own
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the home completely and you know, pay off the mortgage. Um,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and you know that he has a yard, Like that's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: important that my dog is a yard, and like exactly
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: what you're saying when I'm thinking about communal living. You know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: my house very much operates almost like roommates would because
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they're all adults now, so we all have our chores,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and like my mom will very much like
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: take there's three dogs, so they'll take care of all
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: of our dogs. Then like we like make sure we
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: feed them in the morning or we try to remember
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to feed them in the morning. And like today I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: walk the dogs, like and I'm not we were talking
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: about like walking everyone's dog, and like, well that means
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I have to walk everyone dog, right, not just that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I can't just walk my dog. I have to walk
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm like, okay,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that's my part in like helping everybody else out, you know.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think that there there's definitely
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like a lot of benefits if you want to see
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it that way, you know, But if you do come
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: from a family, maybe that's not as supportive, especially if
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you're you know, queer or you know, you're out and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: about and you're trying to live your life and you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: come from a probably likely most likely a Catholic background, Like,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it can be difficult. It can be hard. I mean,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I like I was hiding my tattoos the first year
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that I was back home, you know, like it wasn't
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a walk in the park either, and I was adjusting
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and the dating and then not coming home and like
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: my parents were like working on the stuff, right, you know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean that's like an ongoing situation, right because even
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm twenty seven now, but that is I would say
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: maybe for me, the hardest part about being at home
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is like how does the sex happen? Like this morning
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I got home at six six am morning, right, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on my on my hole ship because Niosa texted me.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: She was like, oh, how are you, Like, how how
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: was it? And I'm like, my hole ass just got
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: home and I was like, yes, it was funny. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was telling her it was like six thirty in the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: morning and I didn't have a text from her, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: my boo was like, yeah, and I was like, I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: gotta make sure my girl got home, okay, okay, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I did and she did. But it was so funny
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: because you know, obviously I'm a grown as woman, like
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: if I want to hook up, I'm a hook up.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: But then I had to tell this dude like, oh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I gotta get home from my grandpa wake, like I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: have a one hour window before she wakes up. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: got real, no, and obviously is my mom will come
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: for me. Like sometimes my dad will be like, oh
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: she didn't come home last night, and my mom was like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: oh no, she got up early to go to the gym.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Good's My mom's a real one. Your mom's good. You know.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I always say, oh, no, I slept over at Monica's house.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I always blame Monica. I'm like, I fell asleep on
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Monica's couch. I am that friend for my home girl,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: one of my home girls. I won't say her name
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: in case her mom listens. For um, She'll she'll tell
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: them that she's with me. And I'm like, which, I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: lived down the street from you. You can't go home
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like really exactly, you know, But so those are all
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: things to keep into account when you go home. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: just learn how to be a sneakier home, right, and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you already go back to your Catholic school days. School days. Yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: that's real. You know, best of luck to all of
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: our recent graduates, and like we we understand, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to the best of our like how what we experienced,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like the transition from being a full time student.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I really feel like someone go into an identity crisis
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: because and this isn't true for everyone, you know, not
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: everybody goes back to back like from high school to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: undergrad but you know, when you do, when you have
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that like education and then you jump straight to a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: four year like you graduate, you're like, oh, ship, Like
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to not be in school exactly,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you know, not have our day like organized and dictated
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: classes exactly. You know. So you know, lots of love
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to yall, you know, we support you finding a new hobby,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: finding like a new way to be, like really just be.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It's because that's the thing is like I think of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: school is you are learning in theory how to be
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a person in the world. Once you graduate, now you've
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: got to actually do it. You have to actually be
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a person in the world. And that's trial and error
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and its mistakes, and it's pain and it's confusion, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's sadness, but it's also lots of joy, lots of happiness,

• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I am all hands and Bruchita Skincare UM, and that
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: means I source materials. I go out and travel to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Mexico UM every other three months, and I'm there in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the Medicago sourcing for everybody and making affordable skin care
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: for all communities. Yes, amazing. You know, I actually use
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Bruita skin care and I can attest that it is amazing. Um.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I was using like all these like expensive products for
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Sephora and just not getting any results, and then I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: switched over to Wottle hit that and I definitely noticed
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the difference in my skin. So I'm really I'm really
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: excited and happy to have you here and like to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: be able to talk about skincare and how it's a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: type of FM technology and just entrepreneurship in general. Like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you already mentioned you you know you you run everything,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you do everything, you have your hands in all of it. Yes,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: most definitely. UM. I have been in holistic skincare for
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: ten years. I've been in and out of the spot
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: since I've been eighteen, so I'm thirty one now, so
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: it's it's been a long journey. I've started making products
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen, um, just because like you said, um,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a common thing in my clients
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: using expensive products, going to Sephora or to Alter and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: getting these products that s where you know, we'll cure
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: or to you know, get rid of acne or any
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: kind of element. And um, really I started realizing that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I was hurting my clients and I was, you know,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: not how only healing them properly. And so I took
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a step back from the spas and I actually educated
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: myself through going through their stores and sourcing books on
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: homeopathic remedies and holistic living. Um, and that just all
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: came yeah, all at once, and so I started really learning, um,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: how to really reconnect with with Earth, because I mean,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: all of these were, all of these powders and all
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of these clays have been accessible forever, I mean since
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: as second Mayans or Cleopatra. We hear about all these
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: ancient rituals that that people used to use. And so
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's it's it's super important now in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: this age to reconnect with that. And I'm really hone
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: in on on that as well. UM. So that is
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: pretty much what I've been doing for the past twelve years,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: is making products and really really uh focused on UM,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: really focused on reconnecting people with Earth and really getting
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: into using clay and using antioxidant powders and realizing that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: all of these natural ingredients can help you, UM and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: can cure whatever skin problem that you do have. You
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: had that ancestral knowledge, right, yes, that ancestral knowledge that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: FAM technology, and I'm I'm looking, you know, at your
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: bio right now and seeing how you source your ingredients.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: You source your ingredients from different mercados in Mexico. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this comment on mercado culture, and you know here in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: l A we're all about our swap meats and our
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: flea markets and as a source of culture, of commerce,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of trading all this good stuff, could you talk a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: little bit about that mercado culture and sourcing your ingredients. Yes,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: most definitely. So. I had been going UM in and
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: out of Mexico for like the past two years with
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: my family. UM. My father's partner is Mexicana. So going
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to the fl A lot really changed my perspective on
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the Medicago culture because it's so different from here in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: l A. It's it's. Um, it's a lot more abundant,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: should I say, just because there's more space for that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to allow um latinos or to allow that culture to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to be expensive in that way. UM. So really just
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: immersing myself seriously, guys, I like seriously walked around the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: f a Mexico city, and I walked and through every
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: single Mechica though where I can get, like where I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: can go basically and really just asking questions and UM,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it's so funny because I do have broken Spanish, but
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it's it's it was also humbling because they actually appreciate
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: it that that I wanted to learn how to speak
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Spanish properly and learn um, all of the benefits of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: each powder's. Um, there's a lot of powders in Mexico
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that you can't source over here in the States. Um,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of ingredients that are only grown in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: southern Mexico or in different parts of Mexico. So um,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: those ingredients are very sought after and very special and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm so privileged to be a will to source these
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: ingredients out there. Um. It's it's uh, it's definitely been rewarding,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and it's definitely open my mind to to realize that
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: this culture is super important and it's uh, it should
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: be documented and it should be filmed. And that's why
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I like to incorporate video and I like to incorporate
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: travel and food as well into Bruheit. The skincare so buhat.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: The skincare is not just a skincare brand. It became
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: like this whole lifestyle, like making it timeless and making
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: it super relatable to people. And that's what I got
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: out of walking through these Chicago's was like, I really
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: want to bring this back home and show people that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: this is a fucking world out here that is so
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: alive and just really welcoming and really just like welcoming
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: all kinds of people from all walks of life. And
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: there's something really nourishing in that, for sure, and there's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: something very open about that. And I really think it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: important to really like tell my audience the community. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: don't like to say followers. I feel like that's a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: dumb word. Community, you know. I really want to share
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: with the community that this is out here, you can
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: go here, It's accessible to everyone, there's no needs to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: be afraid at all. Yeah, you know, I I like
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: how you're describing the evolution of Bruhita to a skin
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: from a skin care line to a multimedia project, right,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and how um the traveling right and like ethically sourcing
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the your products has allowed it to become its own
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: project itself, right and has grown had had there's been
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a need for it to grow to a multimedia project. Yes, Um,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: that's been such a bruit is only a year and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a half old, it's not even two years yet and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: mild right, and so it's like I really am just
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: learning like as it goes as the growth that just
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: like comes upon it, Like bruita is just growing. It's
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: like a teenager now pretty much. I feel like she
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: lost her training wheels and she's like off like driving
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a freaking car now, you know. So it's it's pretty
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: crazy to see the growth about it. And I really
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: do get inspired by music and by film and and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: uh some music and film is highly inspirational to me.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And um, really incorporating that into Buduhita, into my photo
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: shoots the video shoots as well is super important. Um.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I think what I really wanted to do is is
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the most important factor about Bruhita is being relatable and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: not like out of reach, that this dream isn't out
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of reach, Like you can be chilling in your bathtub
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and have fun. You can be wearing these facial masks
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and feeling good and it doesn't have to feel like
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: this UM, like this elitist product that you're using or
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: something like that. It's it's something that I want to
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: be for everybody, and that's yeah, that's really when I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: want to show, like within the all time media of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: like taking the photos and um doing the video and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: most of my photos I am naked, and I just
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: want to show like that vulnerability of like it's okay
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to be vulnerable and it's okay to show your skin
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: even though you may not be comfortable in it, because
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: there's times where I'm not comfortable in it as well.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: But to be in this like Bruhita element or this
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: like light that it has, it's it's very rewarding. It
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot about myself and the things that
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I can actually do. And you know it, Bruhita stems
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: from like in the beginning of Bruhita, was bullied and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: this person had body shamed me and it was so
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: important to me to like not get back at them
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: or anything, but like or or talk anything negatively back
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to them, which is like a super impulsive thing, normal
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: thing to do. And so what I realized was, like,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure this person sees like my
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: body every everywhere, you know, and it's a person on Instagram, know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: a person who I've known for a long time ended up. Yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that's kind of like the root of Bruhita as well.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I had a business like before Bruhita you mentioned. Yes,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a stetition, and I had a business before that,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and it was a product line as well, but it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: had a different total intention to it. It was very
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: all about making money and just about that. And I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: feel like that's where the passion was lost. And eventually,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the business and the friendship that I was
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: aligned with that grew apart as well. And so you know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: when this person did finally body sham me, it was
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: like this eye opener to like, I'm going to make
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: sure like this person like realizes that they have no
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: effect and that Bruhita is still going to go on.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I was named Bruchita by the vendors in the me
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I was, can you talk about the naming? So I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was first named Bruhita by my friends and d F
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and I took it as like a term of endearment,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: because yes, I am a little witch. I brew up
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: my concoctions, you know, I feel and and so I
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: just thought it was like a cute thing until I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: went into the mechago and the vendor was like, why
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: do you need like fifteen kilos of tepisco eiti? Like
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he was so onto me, like why do you need
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: thirty pounds of tepisco ey? And so I told, what
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: is that? For our listeners who don't know, and I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. Tepisco Ei is a tree, so it only
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: grows in southern Mexico and Brastil. So it's a super
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: sought after ingredient. And by that, I mean it's really
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: important to healing the skin and he kind of burns
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: any kind of sun damage. There's a super crazy story
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: behind it. Um I butcher. I butchered the story all
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the time. But I know, like the little bits and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: pieces of it. Um a village in Mexico. Um like
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: caught on fire, and a lot of it caught on fire.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: To the point where like people were getting burned up
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and dying, and so they found tepisco eiti and they
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: started putting tepisco eity just like a pace, just simple
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: water in the tepisco eti powder, and it healed like
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: many of the villagers from like second degree their degree burns.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: And so that's how they realize that the pisco ethi
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: was a miracle ingredient and that it can heal wounds.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So acne is a wound. I consider it a wound.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: When you pick out it, it hurts immediately. So um yeah.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Trying out the pisco ethi and experiencing it and experience
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it all my clients by facials, I learned that it
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: really does help and cure acne. It's pretty amazing. It's
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing what you do when you open your mind
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: up to other things that you don't know, the unknown,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and then you find out that it's here to help.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: And mostly anything that comes from Earth is here to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: help you. We're connected to Earth like biochemically, like chemistry wise,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: like we are connected to Earth. So anything that we
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: put on Earth vibes um it's it sinks in and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: absorbs super easily into the skin. So that's why organic
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and like unrefined oils are super important. And like organic,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I don't say these powders are clayser again it because
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they come from earth, so that's like the rawest, purest
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: form of Earth. You're the second person, like the second
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: like fem techie to tell us, like about how our
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: skin like absorbs some you know, what you put on
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it and then it goes into your bloodstream essentially, It's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: like and that takes fifteen minutes. So yeah, like the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: makeup that we're using, um, yeah, any kind of skin
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: product from the water that we use on our skin
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: when we bathe, all of that is going into our bloodstream.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: All of that is going inside our skin and all
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: has an impact in some kind of way. That's why
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: if you bathe in hot shower, your skin is going
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: to be dry as fuck or dehydrated. So it's like
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: super important to bathe and lukewarm water, um as well
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: as like other things of like not you know, uh yeah,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: washing your face and hot water the same way it's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: washing your face with cold water. It it just takes
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: down inflammation and it takes down the redness and it
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: calms down the skin instead of like heating it up more.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: When you heat things up more, you kind of aggravate
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: it and it doesn't have time to heal. So yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and I love this conversation because this is just so
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: seamlessly transitioning into a conversation about body chemistry and the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: natural ingredients and the Kimika has involved there. Um, you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: this is our fem tech quarter, so we really like
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about traditionally feminine activities and expression that are
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: historically undervalued or overlooked and reclaiming them as technology and
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: as science. So I'm wondering, like, for you, how do
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you see Bruhat, the skincare and the work that you
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: do falling into that sort of lineage of fem technology.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: So definitely from the way that you're mixing the facial mask,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the measurements from coming from you know, spraying the hydrosul
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: within the powders and recognizing that chemistry, you're making that
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: into a pace. Um, the intention that goes into it,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: whatever you're thinking, Um, hopefully it's positive affirmations of course. Um,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: all of that is all going into this brain and
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: all into your aura, your physical aura, and it all
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: has an impact on you. And I feel like that's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that's where the science comes in. That's where you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: revealing truths about yourself as well, and and you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: being in that vulnerable state and like, you know, realizing
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that all of this is a gift too, because when
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: when we realize the truth, sometimes it hurts, you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: but we also grow from that, And so I think
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the science of feelings is super important as well when
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: it comes to this. UM, I want to be very
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: forward and say that I don't measure things when I
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: do make these products, because it all comes from within.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It's all intuitive. Um, I never measure anything out. I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: just know what works because I have the experience. I've
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: worked with these powders for over ten years, so I
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: basically know my own concoctions. It's just that's what makes
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: it bruqita and and so realizing that as well, it's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: it's almost like cooking really, Like if you see me
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: in the studio, like whoever comes by. Um, recently I
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: hired someone. Her name is Irish. She's amazing. Um, she
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: made my job a lot easier and she's just like
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: watching me and she's like, dude, you're not measuring anything.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Like I don't have to and she's like, how do
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you know? And I just know, I just feel it.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I know when I make a bad batch, and I
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: know when I make a good batch. It's it's very
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: hard to come back from a bad batch pretty bad,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: pretty much. And that's when I know, like I'm not
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: feeling it, like or if I have a half day
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: of just like butchering ingredients and stuff that I'm just like,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta take a break, Like I gotta take a
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: break for two days, and then I'll come back and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: start mixing and start brewing again. And um so as
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: well as you know, getting ready, getting ready. Now that
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I think about it helps me feel super good because
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I'm never in a hurry either. I'm never in a
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: hurry that It's one of the things that I like
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: about self care is that you should never feel rushed
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: when you're doing that, especially when you're bathing in the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: morning or at night. I really do feel like that
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: time should be for yourself, whether it be twenty minutes
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: to half an hour, like really like disengaged, turn off
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: your phone, like turn off all of this stuff, and
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: really like connect with yourself and talk with yourself. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people don't really do that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I ask people if they talk to themselves, you know,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: they say no, I never have a conversation with myself
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: at all, and I think that's kind of weird. Like
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: talk to yourself, dude, Like ask yourself, how are you
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: feeling the day? And I talked to myself all the time.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I would looking at you because I know you do too,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to myself a lot. We talked to each other, I
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: mean ourselves all the time. Yeah, yeah, like check in it.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: It's definitely a thing, you know, And I feel like
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I grew up seeing my mom do that. Like my mom,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I like now, I like I can hear her. She'll
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: be in another room and I can hear her talking
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to herself. So I definitely like inherited that trade, or
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like I learned that trade. It's learned. My dad talk
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to himself a lot. And I find myself when I'm
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: in the car, there's so many things we can be
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: listening to. Right. We can listen to the radio, we
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: can listen to podcasts. We can listen to Baichella on
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Spotify for example. Right, But I find myself sometimes turning
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: it all off because I'm like, I just need to
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: turn pull up my windows and talk to myself. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that's what I enjoy doing a lot in the car,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: and it really is informative for whatever reason, and it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like fun. I enjoy it. Yeah, most definitely. We listen
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: to music all day in the store studio, and by
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: we I see me and my partner, we sure studio together. Okay,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: So whenever we're with each other a lot of the time,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: So whenever we're taking breaks and we need to drive somewhere,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: it's definitely no no radio on. It's definitely silence. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that took like a little bit of her to get
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: used to, you know, because she's used to radio, or
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: she's used to like speaking or like just doing other things.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: She's just used to noise. And so when I told her, hey,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: have you realized, like I haven't been playing music, And
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: it's because I want to connect with you, you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: like we're busy working all the time, and it's like,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: let's break on us, like yeah, like what do we like?
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Like we sort of asked each other the other She
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: was like, what are you gonna do this weekend? I'm like,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, I have like one day off
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know what I like to do anymore.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: That's so funny because recently someone asked us this question
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and said, what do y'all do for fun? And we
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: both laughed and we were like, I don't know, yeah, yeah, seriously. Um,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: one of like the difficult parts about you know, Brijita
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: being uh like so growing rapidly is that like I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: kind of lost what I like a little bit because
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I am busy producing and I'm busy, you know, tending
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: to the community and things like that, to where you know,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I forgot what kind of music I liked for a
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: little bit. I forgot, you know, like what type of
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: food do I actually like? Like where? You know, like
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: do I even like going to the movies anymore? Like
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: what do I like? You know? It's it's it's definitely
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: rewarding in that way because you like I said, it's
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: just the truths, you know, the truths that just come
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: out of like work on yourself with the reminders of
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: like working on yourself. Like yes, you're tending the community
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and good job, you know, but what about you. Absolutely
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: that's so important because so many of our listeners, like
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: work in the nonprofit sector, are activists. Maybe they're in
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: um the private sector, but they have they have majority
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of white coworkers, so they will ask us those questions
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of how to take care of themselves. So what I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: like that we've heard from you so far is like
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: self care should be intentional, and the time that you
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: spend alone should be intentional. Like often the only times
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: will get alone will be when you're in the shower, right,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: especially if you live with your family, you live with
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: your partner, you work with a lot of people, you know,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: so taking that time and really being mindful about what
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: you're doing and your positive thoughts. So I like like
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: hearing you say that, I think that's really awarding present
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: and the negative thoughts too. I mean, I definitely don't
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: want to like, uh, fall follow away from that either,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: you know, because sometimes we don't feel good. But that's
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: also important to know, like you know, the truths of
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: like of recognizing that you don't feel good, But how
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: can I get myself out of this? How can I
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you know, work on that. I feel like that's super important,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and that's going back to like talking to yourself and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: checking in absolutely. And so you you mentioned the growth
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of bruita and how it's just blowing up and it's
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: just taking on a life of its own. And you
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: did have some really cool features, um teen Vogue days Glamour.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Can you talk about those and how they came about
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: in the coverage and how you feel everything? I don't
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: even know. Congratulations. Um Honestly, Like the best way that
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I can describe it is that like no dream is
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: out of reach now. You know, before it was like,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: you know, dreams that I was just like, you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: it'll never happen, you know, but I still like to
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: fantasize about it. Um, I've yeah, Team Vogue and Vogue
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: were like definitely magazines that I did read, you know,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: when I was younger, and of course like the fantasy
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: of like I'm one day going to be in this,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: you know, And so when it actually happened, I cried. Dude,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I cry like a lot. Actually, Bruhita is like let
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: me like just like let it out because of all
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: these blessings and it's just like this is actually happening,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: and this is so trippy. Like all these things that
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I thought were out of reach or like a far
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: fetched idea or not like coming, They're now present and
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I'm grabbing them wholeheartedly. And I'm just being thankful for
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: it and really telling my truth and telling my story
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I think is super important. And you know, saying that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I'm here for the squad, which is the community, you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that's like the most important. I'm here for the squad.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I'm here to make affordable skincare. I'm like here doing
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: this forever, like Bruhita is my full time Like but yeah,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I don't have another job. I never left the day
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: job like he has been it like since yeah, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: can remember. Um. Yeah, I've just been working with skin
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: for so long that it's it's a part of my being.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: It's who I am. It's a lifestyle. I talk about
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: skin every single day. There's not a day where I
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: don't talk about skin. And I love it. It's amazing.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: I love um speaking about one of the most important
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: aspects of our body is our skin and how to
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: protect it and how to hydrate and you know, be
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the best person that you can be through your skin.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Our largest organ r yeah, yeah, exactly, the largest organ,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: the largest fucking sponge in the world is our skin.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: It is. Yeah. So you know, in addition to like
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: talking about the features and how you've been growing, you
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: also recently did a collab with Hotel Fiatoa, and that's amazing.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Can you talk about how that collab came about and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: what that means for brum So with that, that feature
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: or that collaboration came out of nowhere. Honestly, Yamada and
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I my partner, we we actually like dined at Hotel
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: figure O a few times, and we actually like had
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: this dream about using one of the rooms it got remodeled,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: so like we we were eating there when it was
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: before the remodel, and it was very Mediterranean and kind
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: of like Spanish tile everywhere, and the bathtubs were like amazing,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: they looked so cool, and we wanted to fall space.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: We wanted to use it for the spring shoot. Actually
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: that's coming out this Wednesday, and and so we were
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: just dreaming because the hotel room was like a thousand
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: bucks or something like that, and so we were just
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: like nice dream, you know, until Hotel figure O just
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: started liking all these photos on Instagram. Dude, and I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: wasted that ship. I was like, babe, I'm like look,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Hotel Figurero was hitting me up like look, look look,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: and finally they like commented, like love what y'all are
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: doing like beautiful like beautiful brown people. And I was
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: like cool, like all right, So I d M them
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, we love Hotel Figaroa, we
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: love Breva, like we started like name dropping the restaurants,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you know, and so they're just like, yeah, like no brainer,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: come meet up with us, like we're down to collab,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: all right, And so I went. We went, and we
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: found out what they wanted, and they wanted a collection
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: for the V I P suites and so I was
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: automatically inspired and I said, yes, let's do it. And
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: so the Hotel Figura collaboration is called the Green Collection,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: and it's inspired by the typical Angelino So the health nut,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: um climate, the health nut, the millennial, the bodster, the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, the young crowd now,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: so it's it has a cleanser, has a full body lotion,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: has a lip bomb, and um hydrosoul, the hydrosoul and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: lippop I believe are very essential things to have inside
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: of your makeup bag, inside of your backpack at all times. Um.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: The hydro cells are just pure plant waters. They're pure
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: antioxidants to the face. It's not a towner because it
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't have alcohol or any other additives, so you're just
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: getting pure flower bliss, like on your face. It's amazing.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I carry the Camemeal with me in my makeup bag exactly.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I have my makeup users who use it as their
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: setting spray. I love it amazing. Yes, do it? Keep
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: doing it please, because you're getting all that flower power.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: You know, flower power is no joke. The antioxidants in
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: these flowers are no joke. Like you're getting full mineral
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: content too, you know, to build up the surface immunity.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: And I think that's super special. You know that we're
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: getting that from nature. It's like yeah, cool, no brainer. Yeah,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: where else is it going to come from? Realistically? I
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: mean yes. Secondly, that's why I get scared about synthetic
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: products when I hear that my clients are using you know,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: synthetic products from Lush or from you know, Clinique Gloriel,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: you know land Come, I can go on and it's like, dude, like,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: try something that is wholesome, Try something that is simple,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: like go back to your roots, like wherever your ancestors
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: are from or wherever lend you could be from Europe,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter they use milk over there, they
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: use oats over there. It's like you you can definitely
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: still like have that simple approach and not have that
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: typical ancestry from latin X, from the latin X community.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I like, I have not talked about this
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, but I maintained that my mom actually
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: fucked up my skin because I, um, I mean I'm
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: still now, like I'm definitely more acne prone, but no
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: one in my family is. But when I was little,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: my mom would give me a clinique bar to wash
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: my face. And my mom had grown skin like she
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: could use the clinique, but me as a kid, I
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have you been using like a clinique skin bar
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: and lotion like that doesn't make any sense. So I'm
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: like one of the only ones that has that is
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: acne prone in my family. Um, And I think like
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: that that's why, like when I think about it now,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: because no one else was using that the kinds of
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: products right, And I mean still a lot of people
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: don't recognize that, like things like fragrance or the parabins
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: or the soul fates um even glycols, it's those are
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: also dehydrating to the skin. So when your skin is
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: feeling dehydrated, what's it gonna do. It's gonna go in
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: defense mode. It's going to, you know, give you a
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: ton of oil that your skin just doesn't need, but
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: it thinks that it needs because it's dehydrated. And so
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: with that then becomes the pimples and the acne. Hormonal acne,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: especially hormonal acne, is inedibable. It happens to everyone. It's
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: just the factor of learning how to embrace it now
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: and to take care of it in a simple way.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: And that's what I like to share with people is like,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: don't get aggravated. This is super normal, Like it happens.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: You know who I've I've seen is a big advocate
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: of that is Ethereal, and I think it's the media
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: of these right, and she like, we'll talk about embracing
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: her oily skin. And I know that she uses your
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: products as well, so like I it's really cool to
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: see that online, like her talking about like I have
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: a oily skin and I tried to make it different
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: but I can't. So this is me embracing it now.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: And she's shiny like a glow ye and she's so great.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: He is so awesome. I seriously just hit her up
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, like can we be home girls?
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Like you look like someone who I like will chill with,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, straight up like chill with in reality. And
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: she was like yeah, like what's up, blah blah. We
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: got to talking and just said, hey, like, let me
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: give you some skincare and she was so super into it,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: like yes please, And um, I have her to thank
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: for like my growth in Bohita her in the hood,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: which most definitely. And those are two like my girls.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Like love them them from like a distance, like I
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: haven't met them in person, but I feel like I've
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: met like their spirit in some sort of way, you know,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: because they trusted me, and that's like saying a lot
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: when you trust someone, that means a lot. Most definitely, Yes, absolutely,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: And I do love the comment that you made about
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: where you're from and the natural products from that region
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: from where you're from, because it goes back to like
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: we are connected to the earth and if you have
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: roots in Latin America and in this side of the
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: hemisphere or whatever, like, it makes sense to incorporate those
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: natural ingredients back into your body. As opposed to some
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: strange like far away ingredients, yeah, or some man made
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: ingredient that has no kind of benefit to your skin
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: at all. So like going back to those big brands
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: like Clinique and Lancome, they use these synthetic ingredients to mimic,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: to mimic the natural approach to mimic the natural simple
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: ways that these actual ingredients take. Because you know the
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: natural ingredients, It's like it's a mess, you know. I'll
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: admit that, like no one likes to mix their own stuff.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Everyone wants a simple way to just have it mix
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and to just put it on. But that's not a
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Buduhito is about. Brida is really about reconnecting with Earth
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: and really establishing that that connection again, like really establishing
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: that relation and ship within you know, Earth and then
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: also within yourself as well. Absolutely, I love it. You know,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: before we go, I wanted to ask a question for
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: our listeners so that they can have like even more
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of a takeaway from all the knowledge that you dropped
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: right now. Like, what is like maybe is a skincare recommendation.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I know that it's like by type, but like a
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: skincare record, a general one that you can give. What
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: is like a common skin mistake that people the skincare
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: mistake that people make that they shouldn't be doing. Picking
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: their skin. Stop. I do that because I just want
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: whatever it is I am. Then I inflame my skin
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: and it's worse and it's so cute because my partner
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: will be like, I broke out everywhere? Why am I
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: breaking out? And She'll literally point to every single one
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and touch them and I'm like, well, you're touching them.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Stop touching them where? Okay, So don't touch your face,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: don't touch your face, don't pick at your skin, don't
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: pick up your skin ever. I'm so bad at that.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I touched my face a lot and I need to
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: do I. Washing your face properly is a big thing. Um.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Creamy cleansers are definitely a huge recommendation as opposed to
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: gel or foaming cleansers. Gel and foaming cleansers will dehydrate
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: your skin. That squeaky clean feeling that you love. You
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: should hate it. You're like stripping bad stripping introducing creamier
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: emollion humectan ingredients. Those are all ceiling in moisture, so
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: you're getting that nice glow and not stripping away. Um.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I mean I could go on no hot water lukewarm
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: to cold water. My acneic clients definitely for for that reason,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: cold water always will help you. UM. Also for cistic acne,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: getting into unrefined and organic oils will be your best
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: friend rebuilding that surface immunity. UM. Also Folo santo is
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: polosantho oil is a great UM, A great way to
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: expel all that energy from cystic acne. So I have
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: a product called Santa Limpia Facial scrub I think you use.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I used the Purple area so so like the same
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: thing though expelling all of that energy. Purple arena has
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Macki berry, So you're getting all the defense mechanisms from
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the mackiberry. Macki berry grows in the Patagonia under harsh conditions,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: so it's literally going through these like you know, I
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: need to save myself, I need to survive to chilling out.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: So you're getting all those defense mechanisms and you're getting
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: all of these like real real like strengthening ingredients into
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the skin which heals the skin. Yeah, it's amazing. Thank
