Welcome!
Licuadora Brunch is where creative souls come together. It’s a miscellaneous newsletter for curious women, mainly focused on personal style, such as how to wear overalls as a 40+-year-old woman, favorite recipes that I cook for my family and friends, crazy décor ideas, helpful recommendations like where to find the quirkiest pillowcase dresses and general thoughts on life, which I have many— basically a newsletter about stuff that I like.
I’ve never worked as a fashion editor for a magazine, and I’m not an experienced writer. I just have a burning desire to share my passion with you.
I’ll start publishing once a week, on Sundays, but sometimes I might get inspired and send an additional newsletter during the week. I promise not to overwhelm you unless you want me to. So on Sundays, find a “you time,” grab a coffee, a tea, a mimosa, or whatever beverage you like to indulge in, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the newsletter. If you like it, keep reading; if you don’t, you can return to doing your laundry.
For now, this newsletter is free. Take advantage of this “free content” time to decide whether you want to be a part of this community or not, and most importantly, determine if you desire to give me your financial support because creating content takes a lot of time, effort, and resources. I hope you stay because that would be awesome.
Who am I?
I’m a woman in her forties who loves to wear overalls and sneakers with everything. I have never met a stripe I didn’t like. I can’t resist a new tote bag (any tote bag). I love to sit at coffee shops to do stuff and talk to the people who work there (yes, I’m that kind of lady), and I’m obsessed with olive oil.
No, really, who am I?
My name is Maria Cristina Acquaroni. I am an experienced producer, stylist, and creative director specializing in fashion with over ten years of experience.
My career began as an image consultant and personal shopper. It quickly evolved into other fields, including being in front and behind the camera as a TV show host and producer.
I have collaborated with branding and advertising agencies, developing various visual projects and events, including the backstage and runway production of the first Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Guatemala (where I’m originally from.)
I co-founded and was the Style and Brand Director of the luxury womenswear brand LIA COHEN. During this time, I had the opportunity to build a brand and see it grow—one of the best work experiences of my life.
Boring stuff you might want to know...
My educational background includes studying fashion design at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan and Fashion Merchandising at the Miami International University of Art and Design. I am a certified image consultant with a bachelor’s degree in business. I am studying graphic design online at RISD because I dream of becoming an illustrator to create cute stuff.
I now live in Miami with my husband Nick and dog Archibald.

Who is this newsletter for?
I dedicate this newsletter to all the restless, curious souls who refuse to conform to the norm. To women who believe it’s never too late to start again, who never stop chasing their dreams, and who are determined to live their best lives no matter what. For all of you, I write and create. I love you and genuinely believe in you.
