Sex sells – and the message couldn’t have been any clearer when it came to advertising in post-revolutionary Mexico. Images of beautiful people served a multitude of purposes: a nationalistic one to quite blatantly plug the new regime, that of a new bountiful and fertile country, modern, productive

via thetraveltester.com We've always loved Mexican and Spanish architecture and interior design styles. All those colors! The clay pots! Animal and nature motifs everywhere! Tiny little chili peppers hanging in the kitchen! You have to admit, the Hispanic decorating styles are pretty fun. In honor of Cinco De Mayo, we've rounded up our favorite Mexican decor for some eye viewing pleasure. De Nada! via refinery29 We adore this Mexican blanket runner topped off with flowers, tiny cacti and mason jar candles. This set up makes for a quaint Mexican-styled table scape! via sunset.com If you want to try adding the signature bright paint to your home, the patio and/or front porch is the perfect place to start! Just look how wonderful this porch is with the colors, the plants, the Mexican rugs and hanging pots. Most of our front porches are white and (dare I say it) a little boring, but adding fun pops of color that adhere to the Mexican style helps liven your home up! via ventereport.com We adore this minimal bedroom that pulled inspiration from the Mexican styles. The bright yellow blanket that contrasts with the pink pillows is just perfect an we love the plants as the accents. via picmonkey.com Hispanic styled tiles are a great way to add a more subtle Mexican look to our home. They're way more fun than modern tiles and work great outdoors since they compliment the surrounding nature. via gypsyriver.com.au Hammocks are home essentials for many Mexican families. Some are inside and some are outside but either way they're great to grab a pillow and snuggle up in for a nap or to read a good book. Looking for some fun pillows? Check out our throw pillows in the Barn and Willow store. via domainehome.com We love everything about this room! The rug has less reds and more pinks than most Mexican rugs and all the large cacti are just so cool! via garyriggshome.com We love this Mexican styled living room since it's less "loud" than many Mexican decor. The yellow paint keeps the room bright and airy white the brightly colored elements are limited to accent pillows and rugs to limit the "loudness". via allwomentalk.com Giant, colorful clay pots are a fun way to add color and shape to your interior or exterior decor. You don't even need to put anything in them- they can work well on their own. via treehugger.com We want to wash our hands in this sink everyday! We think this is a smart way to add some subtle Hispanic decor elements to a kitchen. Our list could go on and on, really. Maybe a trip to Mexico is in order soon? Anyways, we love modern decor, but we also really love colorful, fun styles. It might be scary to think about painting your house pink or yellow and introducing bright patterns, but we love taking decor risks and pulling inspiration from other cultures! Here's to Cinco de Mayo!

For the longest time, I called this cake Texas Tea Cake. Like Texas Tea. You know, oil. Like the cake is dark and fudgy like oil. Okay, so maybe I'm not as clever as I thought, but this is still pretty much the quintessential cake of Texas. If you cannot make this cake, and you live here, SHAME ON YOU. We are taking back your Texan citizenship card. The cake is actually super easy, and there's about a bizillion different versions on the interwebs. I could never quite locate the origin, but it figures with the cinnamon that this may have originally been some sort of Mexican chocolate cake. Works for me. And while this is certainly a sugar bomb, it's worth every bite. Lady Bird Johnson's Mexican Chocolate Cake 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup water ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter ½ cup canola oil 2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate or ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ½ cup buttermilk 2 large eggs, slightly beaten 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Chocolate Frosting Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan. Combine the sugar, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl; set aside. Combine the water, butter, oil, and chocolate or cocoa in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Watch that the mixture does not scorch. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Combine the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla, and stir the mixture into the chocolate batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for about 25 minutes. Start making the frosting about 5 minutes before the cake is done. Spread the frosting over the hot cake while it is still in the pan. Allow the cake to cool before cutting so that the frosting has time to solidify. Makes 20 servings Chocolate Frosting ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 6 tablespoons whole milk 1 (1-pound) box powdered sugar (about 3½ cups) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup pecans, chopped Combine the butter, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in the powdered sugar gradually. Add the vanilla and pecans and mix well.
