So I’ve done what is probably the most consequential Hallowalimuertos activity–I went and cast my vote for the 2024 elections! I dressed up in my sparkly sequined outfit, and the reflections of the sunshine danced across my dashboard as I drove to the polls. I turned on my timer when I parked in the parking … More My Hallowalimuertos Finale

Earlier this month, some friends and I throw a fundraising party for our spiritual center with the theme of The Summer of 68 (technically, it was 67 but that didn’t rhyme with our marketing). I found this tie-dyed dressed at my beloved thrift … More Hallowalimuertos Day 1, Outfit

Most of us have had an experience like thinking about a … More Celebrate Hallowalimuertos With Me
As a child growing up in Northern Virginia outside Washington DC, Labor Day was never about the end of summer for me. It was always about going back to school.
