Spotlight Series: Mariana Monteiro

For this Spotlight Series, we spoke with our friend Mariana Monteiro, mom-trepreneur (@PoderosasMáes) to hear how she spends her summers.

***

LBTC: What’s your favorite summer holiday?

PM: I admire the respect and honor Americans dedicate to their soldiers and country. As a foreigner (I’m a Brazilian living in California), I find it so inspiring! And now that we have a little American in our family, our baby Maya, we were so excited to celebrate her first 4th of July last month!

LBTC: What are some of your favorite summertime activities? 

PM: Picnics and smoothies at the park, bike rides until sunset, sand castles at the beach, and unicorns at the pool.

LBTC: Do you have any summer travel plans?

PM: Yes! We are planning to explore Big Sur and Highway 1. We did this trip with our daughter when she was 2 years old. Now we want to show everything to our new baby!

LBTC: What are your summer must haves? 

PM: A soft and thick towel for the pool days—we love the Cabana towels, they are soooo beautiful—and a round beach towel. They’re so Californian!

LBTC: What’s your favorite LBTC product and why? 

PM: We love it all, but the Mexican blankets are our little darlings. They are huge, comfy, and easy to clean. We take ours from playgrounds to the Disneyland parade.
