Sharing pics from Coachella-

It was a wild weekend one at Coachella & Tide was there to spot the latest trends! Nuvo TV’s newest host, Karli Henriquez, hosted our Tide Style Villa at the Music Lounge on Day 3 of Coachella in Palm Springs. Special guests and celebrities were spotted in our Style Villa chatting about the festival fashion and were gifted the new Tide Plus Collection -- which gives clothes whiter whites, brighter colors, and scent that lasts.  VIPs like actress Edy Ganem, model Karrueche Tran, duo Los Rakas, music mogul Jermaine Dupri, vlogger Dulce Candy, & singer Jessi Malay all made an appearance in their festival fashion to take selfies with our #TideMas mirrors.

According to Karli Henriquez, “The parties brought out the best floral prints, lace dresses and stunning head pieces that definitely made the dessert feel like a three day fashion show.  My ultimate tip for any music lover attending festivals this year is to keep yourself hydrated and your wardrobe fresh. I used Tides’ new Febreze Freshness collection on my clothes after my sand storm filled weekend in Coachella and the fragrance capsules really made my clothes feel and smell brand new. I love it!”

***CLOSED***Tide Vivid White + Bright and Boost! Giveaway

In our families, la abuela is an important figure who commands respect. Because of this, Tide’s latest “Mi Tide” campaign focuses on the abuela figure as a driving influence in the needs of her family: la abuela siempre está al tanto de lo más moderno; only the best for her family!


Tide has also released a survey with relevant around laundry and stain removal concerns.  For example, did you know that 65% of Hispanics throw away garments ruined by bleach or home remedies, up to 5 times a year? The survey also found that 68% of Hispanics want a detergent that both whitens and brightens and leaves fabrics like new.

Tide is here to the rescue with a new bleach alternative to help families get whiter and brighter: Tide Vivid White + Bright and Boost!

My thoughts-So I have a son who plays Soccer for his school.  We have his practice clothes, game clothes, and the school uniform we try to keep looking good all year long.  Tide Vivid helped keep his Khaki pants looking sharp and not dull. 

Tide Boost Vivid helped get all those tough stains out of the baby's clothes.  My daughter spills and drools food and drink all over her clothes.  Sometimes I am guilty of just throwing it away because of that persky stain that won't get out.

Free P&G-LULAC Life Improvement Seminar with Maria Antonieta Collins

P&G y sus marcas Tide, Downy, Gain, Bounty y Pampers anuncian su donación de $250,000 a la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC por sus siglas en inglés) para seguir apoyando los recursos gratuitos, como clases de inglés y computación, que ofrecen a las mujeres hispanas en el centro tecnológico P&G-LULAC localizado en el centro local de LULAC.

Como parte de las actividades que apoya esta donación, P&G y LULAC se han unido con la reconocida periodista, personalidad de televisión y autora mexicana Maria Antonieta Collins para traer los seminarios gratuitos “mejora tu vida” al centro LULAC el viernes 10 de junio a las 5:30 p.m. El centro está localizado en la 3522 Polk Street.
Los seminarios estarán abiertos al público, y quienes asistan recibirán información y recursos para ayudarlos a simplificar su rutina diaria en el hogar, al igual que consejos sobre cómo pueden obtener el mejor valor por su dinero, sin sacrificar calidad.

“Por experiencia propia sé lo difícil que es ser madre, jefa de familia, trabajar fuera no solo de casa, sino de la ciudad y además, llevar al día mi hogar. Es una tarea complicada que se facilita cuando contamos con recursos para simplificarnos la vida“, dijo Collins. “Por eso me siento feliz de trabajar con LULAC y P&G para llevar estos seminarios al corazón de nuestra comunidad y compartir con nuestra gente los consejos que les van a ayudar a que su vida diaria sea eficiente”.

Además del centro tecnológico P&G-LULAC que se encuentra en el centro de LULAC, P&G también apoya otro centro en los Ángeles en CARECEN (Centro de recursos centroamericanos), localizado en la 845 West Seventh Street, al igual que uno en Dallas, localizado en la 345 S. Edgefield Ave.

“Estamos muy agradecidos con P&G por su apoyo para poder seguir ofreciendo estos servicios gratuitos a la comunidad hispana creciente y así apoyar sus logros educativos”, comentó Margaret Moran, presidenta nacional de LULAC.

“P&G crece impactando y mejorando la vida de mas consumidores, en mas partes del país”, dijo Alexandra Vegas, Directora de Desarrollo de Negocios Multiculturales para Norteamérica de Procter & Gamble. “Nuestra asociación con LULAC acelera la educación y le provee productos y servicios de calidad a la comunidad Hispanoamericana. Estamos muy contentos de continuar esta asociación y emocionados de tener a María Antonieta Collins para avanzar aún más el programa”.
