- A Practical Señora Fall
Fall is here, which means you’ve got one hand on your candle lighter and the other on your to-do list. Around here, we’re leaning into cozy long pants, slow sopitas, and actual shoes with socks instead of sandals.
If you’re craving calm and cute, this guide’s for you.

As the U.S. fills porches with pumpkins and cinnamon-scented everything, Latin America once marked this same season with rituals of gratitude and remembrance. Across Mexico, the Andes, and the Southern Cone, families prepared ofrendas of marigolds, corn, and bread for Día de los Muertos, offered thanks to Pachamama for the harvest, and celebrated saints like San Isidro Labrador with song, food, and processions. Fall was about reciprocity: giving back to the earth, honoring ancestors, and sharing abundance with the living and the dead. Read more about Latin American señora’s routines in our book Radical Señora Era, now a bestseller. 🍂🧣🧦🍁🥧
