A Quinceañera is a celebration that honors a young girl's journey into womanhood. It is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate the past, present, and future of the Quinceañera. But what happens if you can't afford a Quinceañera or if the timing at 14 years old is just not right for such a big event? Well, let us introduce you to "double quinces" aka Double 15's.

A Quinceañera is a traditional Latin American celebration that marks a girl’s transition into womanhood on her 15th birthday. It is a significant milestone in a young girl’s life and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy by her family and friends.
The celebration typically begins with a religious ceremony, where the quinceañera reaffirms her faith and dedication to God. After the ceremony, the party begins, which is usually a grand affair. The quinceañera is the star of the show, wearing a beautiful ball gown and a tiara. She dances with her father, godfather, and other male family members in a traditional dance called the waltz.
Overall, a Quinceañera is a celebration that honors a young girl's journey into womanhood. It is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate the past, present, and future of the Quinceañera.
But what happens if you can't afford a Quinceañera or if the timing at 14 years old just w right for such a big event? Well, let us introduce you to "double quinces" aka Double 15's.
Gone are the days when tie-dye and Bob Marley were the only emblems of cannabis. Today, women-owned brands create cannabis products that make you look and say "What is that?" - truly a work of art. It will make you question between a bong and a flower vase, a pipe and a sculpture, and bring back a 1920’s luxury-feel of smoking minus the nicotine.
Ultimately, celebrating cannabis and women is about recognizing the value and impact of both in our lives. By doing so, we can help create a more inclusive and supportive cannabis culture for everyone, and remove the stigma between women and cannabis use. Join us in celebrating this intersection by showing some love to these brands that are changing the game of women and cannabis:
1. Forbidden Flowers - unapologetically sexy, cheeky and fully free-spirited
2. Edie Parker - unites the love for fashion, flowers, and fun
3. Allume - take chill to a whole new level with their cannabis-inspired loungewear
4. Sackville & Co - creates smoking accessories that look as good as they make you feel
5. Cha Cha Chainz - is your home for high-end glassware, bringing back the glamorous joint-holding Stellas
If you're looking for an extra sparkle in your rolling experience, a coffee table statement piece, or another "What is that?" moment, check out our Rumbita Rolling Tray. Created as a multipurpose accessory that can enhance your smoking experience in several ways. Apart from being a convenient surface for rolling joints or packing bowls, it can also serve as a storage container for your crystals and jewelry. Additionally, it can double as a serving tray for snacks or drinks while you enjoy your smoke session - winning!
Celebration is an essential part of human life that brings joy, happiness, and a sense of accomplishment. It's a way to recognize and honor important milestones, achievements, and events in our lives. Celebrating helps us to appreciate our progress, boosts our morale, and strengthens our relationships with others. It also provides a break from the monotony of daily life and allows us to relax and have fun. Therefore, it's important to celebrate life's big and small moments to make the most out of our experiences. Here's a little something to remind you to celebrate life - your way!

When we stop to acknowledge a special moment, it gives us a new found appreciation for life. Not only does it make us feel good but it allows us to nurture our relationships (even the one with ourselves). If you ask us, we think life should be cheered on everyday. Here’s why...
Attitude of gratitude: When we take the time to pause and acknowledge all the wins in our lives, it gives us an attitude of gratitude. What we tend to think of as “small” wins are actually big ones if they are meaningful to us, and that’s up to us to decide. Being thankful helps us live in the present and reflect on what we do have, instead of focusing our energy on what we don’t have yet. When we cultivate a daily sense of gratitude and celebration, we find renewed strength and energy to keep doing this beautiful thing called life.
Enhancing relationships: Adopting a celebration mindset is key to enriching our relationships. Ultimately, we reap what we sow. Whatever we put into our relationships will be multiplied tenfold back to us. When we take the time to prioritize our relationships and celebrate the people we love in our lives, we deepen our connections. Life is much better when it’s lived with others. It’s not about having the biggest circle, it’s about having the strongest one.
New connections: The best relationships are sometimes the most unexpected ones. When we open ourselves up to new connections, we gain a different perspective. Expanding our horizons and trying something new (or someone new we should say) is the best way to evolve. Not only can we discover new things about ourselves, but we can meet someone who adds so much value to our lives. Celebrations and get-togethers are a great way to meet new people. Be intentional about asking your guests to bring a new friend to your weekly brunch or invite a coworker to your tight knit book club.
Building memories: Our earliest memories can form around 2 years old. Life is essentially a series of memories and experiences that remain with us forever — whether they’re good or bad. So why not choose to purposely and purposefully build great ones? Our lives are impacted by memories, day in and day out. Happy memories play a part in instilling a sense of identity, purpose and overall joyfulness in our life. When we stop and slow down to commemorate a special time in our lives, that moment turns into a keepsake that we cherish forever and ever. Photos, videos or even memorabilia we keep in our “memories” box in the closet help us relive some of the best moments of our lives.
Everyone’s got their own style of commemorating the moments that mean the most to them. Celebrating is not a foreign concept. We’ve all been doing it our entire lives. Let’s take it a step further and make it part of our to-do list. Let’s be intentional and focus on what matters to us, and make it a point to make a big deal out of it.
]]>We’re sharing three unconventional ways to celebrate what’s important in your lives:
Ditch the gifts
We’re not going to lie, we love gifts. But it’s not really about the material “stuff” for us. It’s about the meaning behind it. For your next gathering, ask your guests to ditch the traditional gift and have them bring something different — their great grandmother’s recipe, a favorite book they just finished reading or that dress they bought two years ago that still has the tag on. Pick a cause and ask your guests to donate what they would have spent on a gift towards a charity or effort.
Go green
We love the environment and think everyone needs to do their part. Don’t just put the environment first on Earth Day. Make an effort to host an all-green gathering. Not only will you feel more responsible, but you’ll be getting your friends in on the action too. Opt for paper straws, not plastic ones. Use boxed water or filtered water instead of bottled. Recycle when you’re doing the clean-up. Use sustainable and eco-friendly products like these bamboo plates or handmade wax candles.
Go off the calendar
If we asked you to list the things that matter the most to you, how many of those moments do you make a point to celebrate? Maybe you’re used to zeroing in on the typical, on-the-calendar moments like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. But if something that’s not on the calendar is important to you, we say mark it on there as a celebratory moment. Invested in your first house plant? Yes, plant mama! Celebrate that. Started a new fitness routine? Get it boo, celebrate that. Adopted a senior dog? For the love of God, please celebrate that.
Traditions are great but breaking out of the mold every once in a while is needed. Choose to spice up your celebrations by doing things differently and trying something new with your closest friends.
Got any unconventional ideas of your own? We’d love to hear them!

Cannabis culture has been stigmatized for decades, but if you ask us it’s another opportunity to celebrate what matters to you. Whether you’re a seasoned 4/20 celebrator or a CBD newbie, we’re here to give you some ideas that come “highly” recommended by yours truly.
What is 4/20 anyway?
Let’s break it down real quick.s. 4/20 in short is a holiday celebrating marijuana every year on April 20. The once infamous holiday has now turned into a widely-celebrated one. While it’s still pretty offbeat, it’s become a tradition for cannabis enthusiasts around the world. It might not be a bank holiday (yet), but if it matters to you then that’s all that matters.
How to celebrate 4/20?
Even if we’re keeping it small and intimate, let’s not be basic. If you’re looking to throw a 4/20 shindig, we’ve come up with a list full of awesome inspo to kickstart your planning.

Ease into it: It may be your first-time celebrating 4/20, or maybe you’re fairly new to the weed scene. Either way you can still indulge in the pleasures of cannabis with the endless options CBD offers. While it may not get you high, it does come with its own perks like anti-inflammation, reducing stress and more. Make it fun by hosting a “sparty” with your girls and sample CBD facial oils or lip balms for some luscious lip therapy. Try out some hydrating CBD lotions or even indulge in a warm CBD bath.

Roll with it: For some cannabis lovers, there is nothing like keeping it old school with a perfectly rolled joint. If you prefer your Mary J tightly packed and rolled into a crisp joint, then you’ll appreciate the art of rolling. Take turns rolling with the homies. Who said it needs to be messy? If you’re anything like us you’ll appreciate an extra touch of glam so keep it cute and classy with our High Maintenance Gold Leaf Rolling Tray.

Foodie vibes:
Whether you’re smoking or nibbling on some edibles, food is a must on this day. What better time than 4/20 to make some seriously tasty cannabis edibles at home. There’s something to be said about edibles — they hit harder, last longer and guarantee ultimate relaxation. And if you like to indulge in a little flavor, cooking up some edibles of your own will make this 4/20 F-U-N. You can go all out and create multiple dishes with a THC infused olive oil. Or opt for a baked gooey goodness with weed brownies, cannabis choc-chip cookies or a pot pizza party. Keep the green vibe going with the use of our eco-friendly plates to elevate your spread. Last but not least, play homage to the OG classics, one of our faves is Dazed and Confused.

Get involved: While major strides have been made in decriminalizing marijuana, there’s still a long way to go. Be part of the movement by sharing your experiences or educating someone who may have a different perspective on weed. Read up on the history of the industry, how legalization is sweeping the nation and where it’s headed. Find resources you can share with others to help shake that negative perception of cannabis.

When all is said and done, 4/20 is a time to celebrate a growing culture that is all about high vibes and good times. We’re here for it, and whatever that may look like for you, don’t miss out on spreading the love and celebrating life together.

]]>Growing up, major milestones have been a part of our celebratory routines. In fact, we probably can’t even count just how many birthday parties we’ve been to. We mark anniversaries on our calendar like no other — first date, first kiss or even first day on the job. When graduations roll around, we invite the family, buy a car, dress to impress and take photos that’ll live on our mantle forever. But how many times have we stopped to celebrate moments that are off the beaten path. Moments that no one has necessarily told us to celebrate, or moments that have even been stigmatized as ones that we shouldn’t be proud of.
Well, we say screw that. We want to celebrate the good, the big and the unexpected. If it’s meaningful to us, that’s all the reason we need. Here are some non-birthday occasions to celebrate:
Women: The month of March is entirely dedicated to women with International Women’s Day spotlighting the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of badass females around the world. But why stop there? We’re all about women celebrating women. Gone are the days when women would be pit against one another. Instead, we’re all about uplifting our sisters and shouting them out. Let’s make it a point to honor ourselves year-round. Whether supporting women-led businesses (ehm) or being intentional about purchasing items made by women (ehm ehm), celebrating women doesn’t take much.
Coming out: There’s nothing more special than fully embracing who you are. Coming out and stepping into your truth — whether you’re gay, transgender, non-binary or about to embark on your transition — is more than deserving of a celebration. Even if that’s not the journey you’re on, let’s acknowledge someone else’s journey and be supportive. Host a get-together celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and their true identities.
Breakups: Yes, you read that right. Sure, breakups can be sad. But at times they’re a blessing in disguise or even a relief. Leaving that toxic relationship or walking away from a marriage that just isn’t working is nothing to be ashamed of. How many times have we dreaded having to go back and delete photos with our (former) significant others? Well, we’re here to declare that there’s cause for celebration when a relationship fizzles. Especially when it’s not serving us. Let’s honor our independence and love ourselves, especially when it’s just us.
Quitting your job: We know, kind of a bold statement to make right? But we’re big believers in making big moves, and quitting your job is kind of a big deal. We might be moving on to greater pastures with another company, taking a break to travel, using your Fuck You money, considering a career change or embarking on entrepreneurship. Whatever the reason or the season, it takes guts and courage to leave behind a job we’ve grown comfortable in. Change is never easy, but should be fully celebrated.
New move: Making moves (literally) is a moment to remember and honor. No matter the reason behind the decision to move to a new home, town or even country, we’re all for turning this into a celebration. A new move is a new chapter, period. And lots of opportunities come with closing the book on one chapter, and opening another. So, let’s honor old endings and new beginnings.
What are you celebrating that’s unconventional? We’d love to hear your story and be a part of it.
]]>Picture this. Candles are lit and your favorite Spotify playlist is on. A bottle of crisp prosecco is chilling on ice along with a bowl of strawberries to adorn your drink with. You’re focused hard on trying to pick between the slinky, leopard dress that shows off your shoulders or the flowy red one that matches your nails. Shoulders, you go with the shoulders.
You take a look around making sure every little detail is perfectly in place—the balloons, the chocolate, the delicate pink roses that have been strategically placed in a Mezcal bottle for a touch of badass-ness. The doorbell rings and you take a deep breath as the night you’ve been waiting for (literally the only reason you like February) is here. You open the door...and let your girlfriends in? Yes, girlfriends.
Let us guess, you thought we were setting the scene for a romantic one-on-one on Valentine’s Day huh? Here’s how we see it. This “made-up” holiday we call Galentine’s Day is just as unique and special as the one that starts with the letter “v.” Whether you’re celebrating with your girls on the 13th, your partner on the 14th or yourself the next day, spending time with the ones you LOVE is what it’s all about.
You had us at Rumbita
When model, hostess and now friend, Muriel, reached out to us to add a special Rumbita touch to her annual Galentine’s Day celebration, we were sold. For years, she’d been making it a point to gather her closest friends on this day despite the fact that she’s boo’d up. When you’re throwing your own rumbita, you make the rules. And that’s exactly what Muriel did.
A unique and personal touch
It all started with an official Rumbita Galentine’s Day invite and a meaningful guest list that included friends from her new hometown and cross country. Muriel kicked her celebration off with a bang as she greeted her group at the airport with a “Will you be my Valentine?” sign—is she a keeper or what? She treated her special guests to a smoking dinner cooked up by none other than her boyfriend followed by a lavish ladies only yacht ride on Miami’s open waters.
The hostess with the mostess stood out with her handmade Sol Rainbow Rumbita crown, surprising her distinguished guests of honor with a variety of our handmade crowns for the queens that they are.
Muriel set the mood with our specially curated Galentine’s Day Spotify playlist. Spanning hits like I Will Survive and Flawless, the list was a surefire way to get the group warmed up to a sensational night. Whether you’re the singer of the group or the token twerker, there was a song for your mood.
Our Heart Shaped Sparklers added an extra sparkle to Muriel’s evening. Available year-round, these golden wands added a playful element to the night as she and her girlfriends took turns lighting them and posing for boomerangs.
We know that no celebration is complete without food, but no food is complete without a stylish spread. Rumbita’s Fancy disposable bamboo plates made for an eco-friendly and Instagrammable option.
What relationships are all about
In true Rumbita fashion, the night was destined for a memorable celebration and delivered. They danced the night away, full of joy and laughter, and we can’t help but applaud this beautiful event. Regardless of Muriel and her girlfriends’ relationship status, they made sure to show love to one another. And tbh, that’s the relationship goal we strive for.

This holiday season we’re encouraging our friends and family to use plastic alternatives and practice zero waste solutions by using our famously elegant bamboo plates.
Here at Rumbita we believe in the power of ethically produced, sustainable, and eco-friendly products which include our Veneerware Compostable Bamboo Plates. These bamboo plates are an eco-friendly, stylish choice that will leave a lasting impression during any celebration whether it’s through an in-person family meal or a zoom get together. The plates are made of certified organic bamboo and will compost in 4 to 6 months time and come in two different sizes; 9 inches which can be used for dinner in a smaller table setting and 7 inches for appetizers or desserts.
Life is short so make sure to spend more time celebrating those intimate moments with your family and less time washing dishes!
Luckily, with technology we’ve been able to stay connected to friends and family all over the world and with a little help from Rumbita those online celebrations can be even more special. We’re not only talking about birthdays or holidays but all of the moments in between like promotions, date nights, a new business venture and any other reason you feel should call for a celebration.
Celebrating and cultivating an attitude of being grateful has its benefits. According to research conducted by Professors Dr. Robert A. Emmons and Dr. Michael McCullough (University of California Davis and University of Miami, respectively), people who cultivate a daily attitude of celebration and gratitude have more energy, less stress and anxiety, are more likely to help others, exercise more frequently, sleep better, have improved physical health, and actually make greater progress toward achieving personal goals. Not to mention that celebrating gives us much needed rest and time to reset. I think this calls for more celebrations!
At Rumbita, we believe in creating a culture of joy and gratitude in your home, office, even online through FaceTime and Zoom celebrations. No accomplishment is too small to acknowledge, no happy-hour too basic to celebrate, and no relationship too long distance to build upon.
We’re here to turn those everyday rituals into celebrations when you need it the most. So, remember, when life gives you lemons, you celebrate… and have a hell of a good time!
Make that moment even more unforgettable with Rumbita’s Beeswax Candles that are available as part of our Birthday in a Bag or individually packed in a multicolor option or yellow option.
Unlike traditional candles, beeswax candles come with many benefits. Below we’ve listed five fun and beneficial reasons why making the switch to beeswax candles will elevate any celebration.
What are you waiting for? Make the switch to these eco-friendly, one-of-a-kind beeswax candles and celebrate those memorable moments!
