I took a picture of pan de muerto rolling out fresh on a bakery cart stacked five shelves high. Tray after tray of these irresistible, golden treats made their way onto the floor, and yes, I got myself one (again). 🕯️🍞✨

OPTIMISM: 💖

A quote from a new classic about our loved ones who have passed on.

“We laugh with them, we sing with them, we tell their stories. They are a part of us forever.”

— Miguel, Coco.

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

🌮 Coyotas Are Not Your Average Tortilla

You know I LOVE highlighting local businesses, ! Meet your new obsession: Coyotas, a grain-free, gluten-free tortilla born in Sonora and made in San Diego, California. Crafted by chef Janet Flores Pavlovich, these beauties are inspired by the flour tortillas of her...er...our childhood—now reimagined with just four simple ingredients and zero gums or fillers.

✨ The packaging is gorgeous, the website even better, and you can even find them at Sprouts or order online. 👉🏽 Meet @coyotas.co on IG | Shop coyotas.co

HOMEWORK: 📝

Remember, Without an Altar

No ofrenda? No problem. Take a few minutes to honor someone you’ve lost in your own way—play their favorite song, cook something they loved, or share a story about them with a friend or family. Keeping their memory alive is what truly matters. 💛💀

OTHER STUFF: 📢

Touch your boobies

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, I'm spotlighting We Support U—my tía Bertha Tiznado’s nonprofit dedicated to restoring confidence and hope for those facing cancer. From free mammograms to emotional support and empowerment programs, they remind us that awareness means action. Learn more or get involved at wesupportu.org. 💗

That’s it for this week, familia. Keep honoring, celebrating, and enjoying life’s little rituals—whether it's pressing play on a loved one’s favorite song or snagging the last Coyotas pack at Sprouts. ✨ Catch you next time, con pan y purpose.

Hasta pronto,

Tony U
