- Hola, Besties!
This is Elena Flores, out of Corpus Christi, Texas,
owner and founder of Sew Bonita.
Sew Bonita is a reflection of my life
of growing up on the border of Texas and Mexico.
Where Mexico is full of life, and color, and vibrancy,
I wanted to showcase that in my brand.
Founded in 2015, Sew Bonita offers so many things
such as stickers, t-shirts, accessories and more.
In combination with a lot of handsewn products that I made
hecho con amor.
One of the products that I love to make
are these handsewn clutches that are a 100% cotton
on the outside and inside.
I love these because they're unique and different,
one of a kind, and I also love to decorate them
with these unique appliqués from Oaxaca.
They are hand embroidery, and add a perfect touch of flare.
It's perfect for any outfit.
You can find these on our website,
and our clutches start at $35.
My stationery line is probably one of my favorite products,
well, I mean, they all are.
But the Chisme Notebook is also the best seller.
It is perfect for work or school,
you can write down all the gossip.
And all our notebooks start at $18,
and can be found on my website.
Thank you everyone for supporting the dream!
You can find all these products and more,
linked below on my website, sewbonita.com,
and follow me on Instagram at @sewbonita.
I can't wait to see you.

- Hey everyone, my name is Paulina,
and together, my husband Álvaro and I own and run
Eres Una Maravilla,
una tiendita that celebrates cultura.
Eres una Maravilla was born during 2020,
during the pandemic.
And we actually started as a Etsy shop
that only sold digital prints.
We soon expanded into earrings
once we realized that there wasn't a lot out there
that really celebrated our Latinx culture.
So, I taught myself how to wire a letter,
so that I can make custom hoops.
Then we got into polymer clay jewelry,
and recently started selling 3D-printed jewelry,
thanks to my husband Álvaro.
We also have some of my mom's crochet creations,
so if you're into crochet hoops,
we've got you covered as well.
So I'd like to tell you about our most popular products.
First, we have our Papel Picado 3D-printed earrings,
which include a $5 donation to Border Angels,
which is a non-profit that helps folks of the border
with water drops and other services.
Second, we have our custom wire hoops,
so if you love wearing your hoop earrings,
and you've always wanted a custom pair, we have you covered.
We currently offer silver and gold,
and in three different sizes,
and you can choose whatever you want your hoops to say,
and we also do numbers, if you're interested.
We really hope that you find something that you love
at Eres una Maravilla,
and you can follow us on Instagram at @eres.una.maravilla,
or you can shop directly on www.shopmaravilla.com.
Gracias!

- Hi, my name is Sandra Velazquez,
and I am the founder of Nopalera,
Mexican Botanicals for Bath and Body.
I created Nopalera to celebrate and elevate Latino culture.
I didn't see any high-end brands in the bath and body space
that were really celebrating us.
So I created it, and the nopal is a symbol of Mexico.
It is versatile, it is sustainable, it is resilient,
and it has always been here, just like us.
And so, that is why I created Nopalera.

- My name is Regina Mercen,
and I am the founder of the makeup line Reina Rebelde.
I founded Reina Rebelde in late 2016,
because I wanted to inspire Latinas and women everywhere
to embrace their awesome and messy dualities
in the most unapologetic way.
I want to talk about two of my favorite products today.
The first one is our Bold Lip color stick,
in the color "Brava."
This shade is the red shade I am wearing right now.
And this is what the actual lipstick crayon looks like.
It has won many awards.
And I think the primary reason why,
is in addition to the fact
that it feels pillowy on the lips,
it is a red shade that looks absolutely stunning
on every single skin tone.
It is $17, and you can find it exclusively on our website.
Also one of my everyday go-to's,
which is, our 4 Play Wet Dry eye color,
it's our quad in the shade "Azteca."
Azteca has four, really pigmented, silky eye shadow shades
in coppers and golds.
But the best part about this is you can use it
during the day, or at night for a softer madrina look.
But if you're feeling a little more rebelde,
you can wet your brush,
and use them for a totally different effect.
Some of the colors actually look amped up
like a hundred times once you wet them.
And this palette costs $20.
If you want to see more of our collection,
please go to our website, www.reinarebelde.com.
Please follow us on Instagram at @reinareblede,

- Hi, I'm Diana from The LA Garden.
The LA Garden was created back in 2017
for the love of art and plants.
And through that, I've been able to design, paint, build
anything you can think of,
and we've become a one-stop shop for all your plant needs.
One of our most popular items are the custom planters.
There are six different sizes to choose from.
They are all paired beautifully with succulents
or indoor plants.
They start as low as $12,
and this is one of our popular sizes.
This is a triad,
it comes with three different succulents.
A perfect little gift for yourself or for somebody you know.
Next we have what started The LA Garden.
It was the Plantita in a Bulb.
If you're looking for the easiest plan to care for,
with zero to no maintenance, this is your plant.
You can hang it anywhere you like,
put it anywhere inside, and it'll grow beautifully.
You don't need to worry about watering.
It is already self-taught.
You can check out more of our products on our website,
thelagarden.com,
or you can give us a follow and DM us
on Instagram at @thelagarden.
