Temecula, California — March 26, 2026

In what marks the beginning of a new era for Hispanic Lifestyle’s in-person experiences, the inaugural Women | Business | Wellness Series brought together a dynamic and thoughtfully curated audience inside the women’s store at Macy’s Temecula.

Designed as an invitation-only gathering, the evening reflected a shift in how HL convenes its community—more intentional, more personal, and more connected.

Guests were welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine and a curated gift bag, setting the tone for an experience that blended professional insight with lifestyle engagement.

A Curated Experience at the Center of It All

Set in the heart of the cosmetics and fashion floor, the event transformed a retail environment into a live forum for ideas, inspiration, and connection.

The space was filled with professional women from across the Inland Empire community leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and elected officials creating a room rich with perspective and shared ambition.

The energy extended beyond invited guests. Passersby paused, observed, and leaned in. Several asked how they could become part of the HL community some ultimately joining the experience in real time.

That response said everything: this wasn’t just an event it was a signal of what’s next.

Voices That Set the Tone

The evening featured conversations centered on dressing for success, presentation skills, confidence, and entrepreneurship topics that resonated deeply with attendees.

Prior to the event, Genoveva L. Arellano shared her enthusiasm:

“I have a lot to say about women, business and wellness… thank you Hispanic Lifestyle for this conversation!”

Her perspective, along with fellow speakers, set the tone for a meaningful and engaging dialogue focused on growth, presence, and leadership.

A Community Responds

The impact of the evening was best reflected in the voices of those in the room.

As shared by Jackie Scott:

“Put on your imagination cap for a second—a successful women-packed event in the center of Macy’s Temecula cosmetic department. Yes, you read that right.”

“So many women came out ready to be engaged and open… sharing valuable insight around confidence, presence, finding your voice, and styling your next move.”

“You found a special way to carry out what you do best—creating connections.”

Her reflections captured the essence of the evening—an environment where women showed up ready to engage, learn, and support one another.
