hola_magazine_cover

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — HOLA! USA is proud to present this history-making cover with the Derbez family, who for the first time poses all together and opens up like never before. All members of this ever-evolving family on screen including Eugenio himself, all of his children: José Eduardo (from his relationship with Victoria Ruffo), Vadhir (with Silvana Prince), Aislinn (with Gabriela Michel), and youngest daughter Aitanna (with wife Alessandra Rosaldo), Alessandra, his granddaughter Kailani, and his son-in-law Mauricio Ochmann, are part of the iconic photo shoot that captures the essence of their new series for PANTAYA: Traveling with Los Derbez.

In the November issue you will also find:

Interviews

  • Ingrid Hoffmann takes charge and discusses her inspiring humanitarian mission following the devastation of Hurricane Dorian.
  • Natalia Reyes is ready for her Hollywood debut in Terminator: Dark Fate and shares how she stays grounded.
  • Estée Lauder’s family comes together to show how they honor the company’s matriarch and what they are doing to keep her memory alive.

Eugenio on his family dynamic: “I’ve had many failed relationships. Honestly, everything would point to our being a dysfunctional family. However, I see the love we all have and the way the four siblings love and care for each other. I feel honored and grateful. I must have done something right!”

Aislinn on asking her family for help: “It wasn’t easy for me because emotionally I didn’t feel stable. I had a bit of a temper. More than postpartum depression, I think all women go through unbalanced periods that can be overwhelming. We women are used to covering up when we are sad or angry. And I think we have to be open and understand that this is normal. Let your family know that there are moments of vulnerability, and that they will pass. You have to know how to ask for help.”

José Eduardo on spending time with his family: “The truth is that I was going into this with a lot of fear because I was the one who had spent less time living with the family; the one who had more issues, and I was afraid that we would come back from that trip [worse than before we left]. But I really liked being with my whole family and learning that I can be with my dad without fighting, that we are imperfect, but we work.”

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Consumer confidence among Hispanics in the United States jumped in the third quarter of 2019 as optimism grew for the economic outlook for the U.S., according to a new national consumer sentiment index conducted by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative in FAU’s College of Business.

The Hispanic Consumer Sentiment Index, taken from July through September, stands at 105.9, up more than 10 points from the second quarter of 2019 when the Index stood at 95. The Index is now more than 12 points higher than the third quarter score of 93.8 for the overall U.S. population as published by the University of Michigan.

Overall, 70 percent of Hispanics said they are financially better off today than a year ago, up two points from the second quarter. Looking ahead, 74 percent of Hispanics indicated they would be better off over the next year, which is a four-point increase from the second quarter. Women are more optimistic of their financial situation in the future compared to men (80-68 percent).

Hispanics’ short-run economic outlook also improved, with 66 percent of Hispanics saying they expect the country as a whole to experience good business conditions in the upcoming year, up from 59 percent in the second quarter. Hispanics between 18-34 years old (79 percent) and those between 35-54 years old (69 percent) are more optimistic about the short-run economic outlook of the country than those above 55 years old (36 percent).

Hispanics’ long-run outlook was also up significantly, with 72 percent of Hispanics expecting good times for the country as a whole over the next five years, an increase of 16 points from the second quarter (56 percent). Women are more optimistic about the long-run economic outlook of the country compared to men (75-69 percent).

Overall, 69 percent of Hispanics think it is good time to buy big-ticket items for the home, up from 61 percent in the second quarter.

The survey was conducted nationally from July 1 to September 30. The random polling sample consisted of 650 Hispanics, 18 years of age and older, with a margin of error of +/- 3.84 percent. The survey was administered using both landlines via IVR data collection and online data collection using Dynata.

Fall into Healthier Eating Habits With FDA’s Nutrition Toolkit

0
Nutrition_Toolkit

SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Apples and cranberries and pumpkins, oh my! Fall is the season of some delicious produce, but it’s also the season of favorite holiday treats. Luckily, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has made it easier than ever for you to help your audience make healthier food choices (even when it comes to fall treats). Whether you are a health educator, dietitian, or any healthcare or nutrition professional, the Health Educator’s Nutrition Toolkit: Setting the Table for Healthy Eating includes practical nutrition education tools to arm consumers with the knowledge they need to make informed food choices when they are shopping for food, eating at home, or eating out.

These ten tips can help your audience make healthy food choices year-round. For more tips, download the Health Educator’s Nutrition Toolkit.

While food shopping

1. Avoid shopping while hungry. If you shop while you’re hungry, you might buy items on impulse that are less healthy.

2. Use the Nutrition Facts label to compare foods and find what’s right for you. More often, choose items higher in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and lower in saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, and added sugars.

3. Check the serving size when comparing calories and nutrients in different food products. Some containers may have multiple servings.

4. Use calorie information to compare products and to determine whether and how much of a food can fit within your diet.

When at home

5. Plan your meals ahead of time and make sure they include the five MyPlate food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy). The MyPlate Plan Menu template can help.

6. Instead of frying your food, try baking, broiling, grilling, or steaming it.

7. Start collecting simple, healthy recipes. The What’s Cooking USDA Mixing Bowl has lots of recipes (including some healthier treats) to help you get started.

When eating out

8. Look for calorie and nutrition information. Calorie information can be found on menus or menu boards of restaurants and other food establishments that are part of a chain of 20 or more locations. Many chain restaurants also include nutrition information online, so you can check restaurant websites for nutrition information before you go out.

9. Appetizers and side dishes can add many calories to a meal. Steamed, grilled, or broiled vegetables and fruit are often lower-calorie options. With calorie information, you can make the best choice for you.

10. When reading menus, keep an eye out for words like creamy, fried, breaded, battered, or buttered. Foods with these descriptions are typically higher in calories and saturated fat than foods described as baked, roasted, steamed, grilled, or broiled.

For more information on making healthy eating choices, visit www.fda.gov/nutritioneducation or download the Health Educator’s Nutrition Toolkit.

Orange Leaf’s Off-Premises Sales Success

0
The Pop-Up Party Box brings the self-serve froyo experience to any occasion.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Orange Leaf is taking full advantage of the demand for off-premises food by putting a strong focus on Catering and Mobile Delivery over the past year. This year, Orange Leaf is up 68% in off-premises sales compared to 2018. Strategies to expand their online catering presence, get into schools, and elevate third-party delivery partnerships have been a driving force for this increase.

The Pop-Up Party Box brings the self-serve froyo experience to any occasion.

Orange Leaf’s catering opportunities range from simple delivery packs using their Pop-Up Party Box to full-service froyo pop-up shops. The Pop-Up Party Box is designed to make catering a simple set-up. It brings the self-serve froyo experience anywhere, anytime. “We’re focused on truly making life sweeter for any occasion whether big or small,” says President and COO, Kendall Ware. “The focus on off-premises has pushed us to be in our communities more to celebrate all occasions with our Guests.” 

Additionally, two major partnerships have been influential in increasing catering opportunities for Orange Leaf stores – ezCater and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation Smart Snacks Program.

At the end of 2018, Orange Leaf partnered with ezCater to support the off-premises initiative and to date, a majority of Orange Leaf locations now have their own page via ezCater to accept online orders. Orange Leaf has  a web page on orangeleafyogurt.com that serves to drive traffic to each store’s ezCater page and educate Guests on the different catering opportunities available.

The partnership with Alliance for a Healthier Generation for Smart Snacks took off early last year in response to Franchisee requests for more opportunities to be in schools. Smarts Snacks are a national nutrition standard for foods and beverages sold outside of the school lunch program. Orange Leaf now offers over 17 Smart Snack approved froyo flavors as well as 8 approved smoothies. These products are now listed on the Healthier Generation online tool, Smart Food Planner.

“These partnerships have been crucial to our off-premises success over the last year,” says Kendall. “Also building stronger relationships with the major players for Mobile Delivery – UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, and Favor – has allowed us to develop a strong mobile delivery strategy. Mobile Delivery continues to show incremental growth, but in some markets, it’s taking off driving over $40,000/year in additional revenue. Our goal is to continue supporting our Franchisees through this evolving Guest journey and focus additional marketing efforts around driving more off-premises sales to make life sweeter.”

Hear more from President & COO, Kendall Ware about off-premises opportunities for treat brands through this video from ezCater.
