10 years later, aquí estoy. I write about what eats me alive: salud mental, el luto, cine, cultura pop, música, marcas locales, all things beauty (duh) y mis tesoros vintage. Soltar pensamientos, coleccionar hallazgos. Un poco para ti, mucho más para mí. Beshoss.
Some are essays, some are voice notes I forgot to send. All written between 1am and the second cup of coffee.
The decade is mathing. The plot is thickening. The icing is, miraculously, holding. Notes from a Tuesday that refused to be casual: on turning grief into a piping bag, and why my therapist is starting to look concerned and a little bit impressed.
read the whole thing →In which I refuse to call them a "small business" and instead call them what they are: the reason I have a personality. Con ustedes : NOT TOO FANCY
→Five things I bought, three things I sniffed, one thing I will be buried with. Pricing transparency included because I'm a Virgo about it.
→Two famous quotes, una playa en Montauk, y el problema de matemática que no podés resolver: would you have done it anyway, si hubieras sabido?
→Lady in Red, Tears in Heaven, Sábado por la tarde, y otras 8 canciones que viven en una carpeta llamada "misc" porque soy una cobarde. Press play with caution and tissues.
→A growing pinboard of affirmations, lyrics, overheard sentences and things my friends said that I never gave back.
I'm Lolo — Leo sun, rising, quiron and mercury (WTF) "writer", vintage hoarder, pop culture freak, recovering perfectionist by therapy. I started this blog ten years ago because nobody asked me to , and I've never been able to stop. (Nunca lo publique)
I write about salud mental like it's a beat I cover, eulogies for the brands that raised me, scenes from films I keep rewinding, and the slow archaeology of becoming the woman my abuela pretended I already was. I'm bilingual on the page because I'm bilingual in the head — sometimes the right word is in spanish y se queda. PS: practica your english with this.
My obsessions, currently:
Brands, friends, strangers who became friends. Drop your video, your pitch, or your weirdest idea — i read every single dm. Below: things we've made together.
wanna collab? slide into my inbox — i love brands that still answer DMs at 12 am
Pitches, collabs, vintage finds you think i'd die for, voice notes about a movie i mentioned six posts ago — todo bienvenido.
