Instagram creators have shared and styled Petra de Luna textiles in ways we could never imagine. And they have created pure magic.

I used to think the world was out of my control. That I had very little to do with the outcome. I no longer believe this. In fact, I know it isn't the truth at all. It is a lie. My whole being is vibrating on a different level. It scares me some days and I have to step away from the world to make sure it is my truth and not someone else's. That's usually when I hit the road and go on a week long road trip to center myself.

Our business community is more important than ever. You see some of our Mexican blankets are loomed in Tlaxcala. A state within Mexico. Tlaxcala also happens to be a major...

Alright ya'll...I am doing something!!! Something a bit out there for me these days. I used to jog all the time. I have finished countless half marathons, some even just...

So we are going to be launching new products designed by us at Petra de Luna Shop. Here's a sneak peek at what we will be bringing to you!!! Sign...

1.) Expose more. Calls to Action are necessary for you to make sales. Period. There is no way around it. Email campaigns, Instagram posts & stories, FB ads. No call to action means no one buys. I am learning that marketing isn't about the what but about the how. How are people going to use it? Love it? How is it going to make them feel? How will they feel when they have it in their hands? Think of the how and then deliver it to them via marketing!

These are a few fun, relatively safe (if proper precautions are taken) places to travel during Covid. Make sure to do your research prior to any trips as travel advisories & restrictions change daily. Best to you & all your adventures!

It's my belief that you get to know someone best when you road trip with them. There is no hiding when you travel together. You gotta manage yourself, your hygiene and your attitude. What I find? Some people are better at it than others. 

There are some people who are suited for luxury travel. High-end hotels, massages, fine dining and dressing up to go out. Those trips are wonderful and fun in their own way. But to be honest; it's easy to travel that way! The nitty-gritty comes out on a road trip. Things go wrong 99% of the time, there are inconveniences and bad nights rest. Being resilient and adaptable are important. And not being one that has to have things a "certain way". 

Social media is something I have a love|hate relationship with. I recognize it's value. I understand it has deep importance. I also know it is often a highlight reel and it can be full of complete and utter bullshit. It can overwhelm us and I 100% believe it causes depression in people. Stepping away from it from time to time; or even forever, is often necessary for us.

Here are the top 3 things I have learned about what it means to run a business and what it means to be an entrepreneur/business person. 

1.) There is a difference! A business person is someone who buys into a business, and does not start it from the ground up. These are the flippers. They busy something trendy and cheap and flip it for more money. A multiplier.

Where as an entrepreneur builds something out of nothing or creates. They have a vision of creativity to build a business, a product and/or a brand. Kind of a business artist in a way. They are often deeply creative and innovative. 

We have been discovering and entering the world of wholesale. It has been a little overwhelming and a lot exciting. We have also been discussing whether or not we should...

Visualizing is a process I love. Getting to take inspiration from cultures, people, places and a whole lotta landscape. Colors from Mother Earth make it easy to want to replicate her into some art form. The mountains, valleys, rivers, hills and all her edges & curves in between.

Best ways to protect yourself, your well being and how to stay in tune with yourself

Here’s what is in the works. Custom designed Mexican blankets that resemble our Zapotec Rug Collection from last fall. The inspiration for our colors is….YOU! Humanity. We want the colors of every skin tone on the planet to be incorporated in our palette.

Petra de Luna Shop is going through a serious business transition. Our products will be narrowed down. Our look will be similar, but deeply different. More refined. More us. More creative and truly authentic to the soul behind our mission. The biggest change isn’t what you will see but in who I am becoming.

This one is long overdue. I am sure many of you are wondering what the hell happened to our brick & mortar!!?? You see it is actually quite simple. We...
