Chulas, WHO’S STILL FEELING THE POST-LAUNCH HIGH?! 🥹💗✨

We’re still riding the wave from our launch, and I hope you are too! There’s something so powerful about being in a collective space full of women who are dreaming bigger, showing up for themselves, and cheering each other on. 🫶🏼

But here’s your reminder: the energy doesn’t have to end when the event does. Let’s turn that inspiration into ACTION. Keep working on that goal, make the move you’ve been putting off, follow through on that idea, and give yourself permission to become the woman you know you’re capable of being.

We’re having an intimate coworking session at @4girlscoffee for Chulas who are ready to kickstart their goals. Join us October 28 at 11AM, reserve your seat at the link in BIO. 💌

Thank you @thehottortilla for this CUTTEEEEE recap video of our experience! 😍

🥐❤️ THANK YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE CONCHAFEST 2026! 🎉🇲🇽

WOW, SANTA ANA! 🥹❤️ What an incredible day filled with conchas, cultura, comunidad, and so much love!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who attended, our amazing vendors, performers, sponsors, partners, and volunteers who made this celebration possible! 🫶

ConchaFest is more than just a celebration of pan dulce. It’s about bringing people together, celebrating our culture, supporting small businesses, and creating lasting memories. ❤️

NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT 2027! 👀🥐

We’re already planning next year’s ConchaFest, and we’re dreaming BIGGER! 🔥

🎉 We’re exploring the possibility of making ConchaFest a TWO-DAY EVENT!

🎓 We’re also looking into creating scholarship opportunities for local students, allowing ConchaFest to give back and invest in the next generation!

🤝 WE WANT YOU TO BE PART OF IT! We’re looking for partners, sponsors, volunteers, and fresh ideas to help make ConchaFest 2027 even better!

💡 Have an idea? Want to get involved? SEND US A DM! 📩

These plans are still taking shape, but our vision is clear: to make ConchaFest bigger, better, and more impactful for our community.

ConchaFest 2026 may be over, but we’re just getting started! 🥐❤️

With love and gratitude,
The ConchaFest Team ❤️

THIS WEATHER + THIS PATIO = PERFECTION

Consider this your sign to head to @benchmark.restaurant and soak up this insanely gorgeous OC weather while it lasts.

Tucked away in the heart of Santa Ana, Benchmark is an alfresco dining dream, beautiful seasonal dishes, gorgeous cocktails, trees overhead and the kind of immaculate vibes that make you want to stay awhile.

Rally the squad for lunch, happy hour, brunch or dinner…

Great food. Beautiful drinks. Perfect weather. Zero reason to be indoors.

If you haven’t made it to @chapteronetml in @dtsantaana for Burger Week yet…THIS IS YOUR SIGN!

@chef.luisperez understood the assignment and there’s THREE seriously swoon-worthy burgers for the week - and every one comes with their famous Duck Fat Fries + a non-alcoholic beverage for just $20.

Royale with Cheese
Prime beef patty, secret sauce, American cheese, grilled onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles + brioche bun

BBQ Bacon Burger
Prime beef patty, BBQ sauce, bacon, crispy onion straws, American cheese + brioche bun

Big Kahuna Burger
Prime beef patty, secret sauce, bacon, lettuce, caramelized onion, tomato, American cheese + GRILLED PINEAPPLE on a sesame brioche bun

Honestly…how are you supposed to choose?!

Better question: why choose? Bring your burger-loving besties and try all three.

Burger Week is only here through September 26, so get to Chapter One in Santa Ana before these beauties disappear!

A weekend at the world’s LARGEST festival for Women in Business 💗✨ @createcultivate 2026

There’s something so powerful about being surrounded by thousands of ambitious women—founders, creators, CEOs, entrepreneurs & leaders—all building, creating, taking risks and betting on themselves.

I left with new friendships, new connections, bigger ideas, and so much inspiration for everything I’m building. 🫶

My biggest reminders: your network really is your net worth, risk is required, passion is contagious, and there is ALWAYS room for you when you bring your own perspective to the table.

I came inspired and left thinking even BIGGER. 👀✨🧠

And I’m putting this into the universe now: one day I won’t just be attending @createcultivate…I’ll be on that stage!!! period!!! 💅🏽
