Latina Celebrities and Their Babies Receive Bounty of Gifts that Honor La Cultura
Latina entrepreneurs send gift baskets to babies of stars Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, and Christina Aguilera.
Montebello, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2008 -- Four Latina entrepreneurs, with businesses that capture the flavor and fiesta of Latino heritage, joined forces to send gift baskets brimming with color and culture to three new Latina moms -- Salma Hayek, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez.
The gifts are a "Welcome to el Mundo" for their little ones and a warm embrace for the new mothers, each of whom proudly represents what it means to be a successful Latina in America. And now, each represents Latina motherhood.
"As business women and Latin mothers we want to support and encourage them on their new adventure,'' said Monica Olivera, who owns the on-line boutique Latin Baby and blogs on products, services and trends for Latina mothers at http://www.micielitolindo.blogspot.com. "And, of course, to help them celebrate and pass on 'la cultura' to their new babies.''
In addition to Latin Baby, the gift-givers are: Frijolitos, Los Pollitos Dicen and Proud Tots.
The gifts were sent for:
- Max and Emme: the twins born to Puerto Rican-American superstar Lopez and Puerto Rican salsa king Marc Anthony.
- Valentina Paloma, daughter of Mexican-born star Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault.
- Max Liron, son of Ecuadorian and Irish-American singer Aguilera and Jordan Bratman.
