PICTURE: 📸

HUNGRY!? 🌮 This Taco Tuesday I snapped a picture of a long-awaited eureka moment, as I finally scored Tijuana-style tacos in Mexico City.

The constant news of legendary Tijuana taco stands migrating to San Diego has me feeling homesick. I'll be back soon, -what's your favorite SD taco? 😁 Reply with your favorite taco recommendation.

OPTIMISM: 💖

An uplifting quote:

“Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free… your true self comes out.” —Tina Turner

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

Need something to do this weekend? I recently FOUND OUT that for the first time in its 35-year history, our Annual San Diego Museum Month has extended south of the border. Check out this Museum Month KPBS video or head straight to the San Diego Museum Council website to see a list of participating baja museums and galleries and while you're there print or download your digital pass for half off discounted admission to over 60 participating institutions.

Not keen on waiting in line at the border? Apply for Global Entry and eliminate your wait times, learn how to apply for Global Entry on the Pocho Socialite blog and be ready for my next baja rec. 😁

HOMEWORK: 📝

Cultural Family Tree: Work together on a family tree project that includes both Mexican and American branches (or wherever your family is from). Share stories about ancestors and their contributions to your bicultural-binational identity. 🌳👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 😁

OTHER STUFF: 📢

I'm on a quest to make myself better and spread more magic. 💖 🙌🏾✨

This week my long-time friend and POCHO-stuff supporter @estheroninsta DM-ed to recommend I "listen to Ten Percent Happier podcast that features lots of meditation + self-help related topics"

Truth be told, this one fell out of my rotation and I'm grateful for the reminder, and opportunity to share it with you!

In the "10 Percent Happier Podcast" host Dan Harris chats with a mix of meditation gurus, scientists, and celebrities—from the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown—exploring everything from enlightenment to psychedelics (sign me up). It's your go-to for intriguing conversations that might just make life 10% better. 😁

As always THANK YOU for following me and the POCHO Socialite blog, I hope that you enjoyed this Friday's edition of the POCHO Stuff email.

Sending you mucha magia and positive energy,

Tony U
