We all know about that Saturday morning when you wake up to music blasting in your living room in Latino households as a sign it’s cleaning day, but some things are not seen in every Latino household.

You HAVE to have at least one frame with Virgin Mary if not many. You might even find it surrounded by roses as if this was #LaRosadeGuadalupe.

Conchas on conchas on conchas. Who doesn’t get excited when you go to la panaderia???
Nothing better than a vero mango paleta when your tooth is craving candy. Duvalin is your to-go chocolate. #Irreplaceable
When you’re Mexican and you’re traveling to Mexico during summer/winter break, you pull out those old, not to mention HUGE suitcases out of the closet. You know you have to fill them up with ENDLESS gifts for your tias, tios, abuelos, primas, primos, etc. Also, we need one for that food we’re bringing back babyyy!
Mom spends all day making these tasty tamales in THAT ONE POT. #TAMALESZN

You have no idea where your dad bought this shoe or when he did but he always wears it!! Also, those flower sandals that come in different colors you would wear as a child. Do you remember?
We always see these beads laying around but never actually wear them. The only thing we wore as a baby was the red/gold/black bracelet.
Sometimes they’re fake…sometimes they’re real but regardless they’re ALWAYS fruits (and maybe vegetables)
Imported from Mexico, they will mix everything/anything better than any store-bought machine.
Let’s face it, all of our tablecloths have some kind of fruit on them. #healthy
We love to keep our jars and bottles and fill them up with random condiments that don’t even have a name!! #ReduceReuseRecycle
Why do we do this?! We have to take everything out when we bake! Wait..we go to la panaderia.
I guess we really do love sunlight and planets. I mean don’t you have the tv turned on to that lady reading your daily horoscope and talking about the planets every morning?
