Last night eight of my girlfriends and I got together for our Tertulia, a tradition we started 13 years ago. This month it was an Orgullosa theme and we got to enjoy all the Orgullosa products that they sent us. We had Oil of Olay, Secret deodorant, Cover Girl lipsticks, nail polish, Venus razors, t-shirts, bracelets and bags. Our friend Liliana was kind enough to open up her house to us.
We shared stories, gossip, food, drinks and laughed until we cried. Laughter with girlfriends is always the best medicine for any ailment but it's especially good when you have gifts to share. We talked about being Hispanic, or not, about being half Hispanic, half African American, Mexican, Colombian and American. We are all women and we are friends.
"P&G announced the launch of “Orgullosa,” an initiative created to celebrate, empower, and fuel Latinas’ accomplishments and dreams. The initiative, which carries the name of the Spanish word for “proud”, has as its centerpiece Orgullosa.com, a virtual community through which Latinas can engage in a dialogue with one another that also provides them beauty, household, and lifestyle advice to simplify their lives". - Business Wire
