I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on my account (I post in stories all the time if you want to know what’s going on ✌️). In-between staying at home, I’ve been combating anxiety with all the shit going on in the world by traveling around my new home country of Portugal. It’s a great time to explore when no tourists are around. It’s much safer too since I have a car and can stay in private accommodations with no shared spaces. I watch what is happening in the US and get scared. It’s becoming like an apocalyptic novel and I worry for all my friends and family there. Posting here just seems less important right? When black lives are taken by force and people throw tantrums about wearing a mask. I think many people are feeling the fatigue. I’m very privileged to be able to travel right now. I want to share the beauty that exists in Portugal so that when it’s safe to travel again, you have it at the top of your list. For now, stay home. Be safe. And wear a mask..

This weekend was absolutely amazing and we had the most perfect weather. Yes I believe that getting outside with vitamin D and fresh air is super important when you spend most your days inside. I got to see friends I haven’t seen in over 2 months. When we were in close proximity I wore my mask to protect them because they are older. When we had our picnic I sat over 2 meters away from them. Then when we got the beach the wind was blowing so much there was no way possible to transmit or absorb enough virus particles if they were even present. We sat a good distance away from each other and soaked up the sun. Then I went hiking to a castle and got a tour from a new Portuguese friend. There is a middle ground when it comes to navigating life during coronavirus. It’s not black and white. You can take precautions for the safety of others while living your life. It’s not hard. There’s no need to be extremists and not take common sense precautions. Oh and I remind most of you that you were never in a serious lockdown like Spain and Italy and have always been free.

Yes I got my second order from @veggieshop24 today

Yes I got my second order from @veggieshop24 today and I couldn’t be happier. Yes it’s mostly junk food and chocolate. Yes I’m okay with this. It’s a pandemic y’all and I gotta have some chocolate in the house. Here in my small town in Portugal it’s hard to find any fun vegan foods so I’m happy to discover this vegan store in Germany that I can order from. Me love supporting vegan businesses!!

Oh hi! How are you doing? Last week I did a little photoshoot with @nahal.moj so we could take advantage of the empty park. Portugal starts opening things up tomorrow so my hope is that we continue to see a low number of cases and people take safety precautions. I can’t believe I turn 41 in ten days and that I’ll be spending it with my neighbors instead of my close friends. Such is life I guess. I hope you are doing well, feeling good, staying safe and all that. Sending you and all my other Taurus babies some love 💕 .

I was washing my hands before it was cool, and a full on necessity!! Please wash your hands. Yes, even you guys need to wash your hands 😳 How are y’all doing? I’m on day 42 of lockdown. Actually got into a groove and feel very productive. Was able to pick up more hours at my side hustle job and qualified for unemployment which was a surprise! I’ve been working out every day and feel really good in my body. I’ve got some other good news but not ready to share yet. Not everyone is doing okay and that’s totally fine. I’m here if you need to chat with someone! .

Here’s some of the things I’ve been making during self-isolation. And these are raw, unfiltered and not styled photos! Do you think the end of the curated fake world of Instagram is now over? No one can travel, we can’t eat at vegan restaurants (and you’ve gotten takeout), no one gives a shit about putting on makeup for a photoshoot right? I would love if Instagram went back to the days before “influencers” ads, and algorithms. Just real people posting photos of their life. Ah, the good old days. How are you holding up? What is one thing you’ve made that you just fell in love with? I need new ideas. I’m in day 19 over here. If you need some inspiration, my 28 day online vegan cooking program is still only $12.99. Enjoy! Sorry I don’t have more photos. I’ve been sharing in stories and I forget to save the photos.

DAY 15 of self-isolation. Things are a bit more emotional now. As an extrovert I’m really missing my friends, seeing smiling faces at my favorite vegan restaurants, going on dates, and general human contact and touch. I’m thankfully I have close neighbors to chat with but that gives me the very basic level of interaction I need to not fully go insane. Their animals are comforting too. How are you doing? I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m trying to stay optimistic. But this shit ain’t easy. Hugs.

What do we need right now? STILLNESS. We need stillness in our hearts and minds as people around us panic and our lives get disrupted. Now is not the time to freak out and create dread about a future we can’t predict. So be still. You don’t need to stock up on dried goods and toilet paper. Enjoy a less hurried life for just a couple of weeks. I welcome the break from trying to be social and making new friends here in Portugal. Sucks for my dating life though. One guy already said he isn’t dating for a couple of weeks. This is how you know things are getting serious. 🤣 I think I’ll start a new book and find some good hikes to do. Sending lots of stillness your way!!

Yesterday I got to experience my first Carnaval!!

Yesterday I got to experience my first Carnaval!! We took a trip to Sesimbra, which is a cute little beach town south of Lisbon with great street art and one of the best Carnaval parades. It was awesome and not too crowded. It was interesting to see the costumes, some teenagers were barely wearing anything and it got me thinking of how people were losing their shit because of the super bowl halftime show (and how puritanical Americans are!!). They would have flipped. Different cultures, more body acceptance, less policing of women’s bodies!! So glad I don’t live in the US anymore. Anyways, have you been to a Carnaval parade. .

So first week in Portugal is in the books! I really lucked out because I found a room for rent with some lovely vegetarians who have a farm with this morning view from my bedroom. Not complaining!! I’m loving it here and sleeping so soundly. I learned how to make a fire too. This city girl is going to learn the ways of country life soon enough!! Have a great weekend! .

I’m kind of embarrassed about the fact that I’ve lived in Berlin for over 1.5 years and have never written a blog post about it. I’ve eaten a lot of meals here and I promise to write up a long post of all my favorites. I’ve got 9 days left to eat all the food. Think I can manage? Tonight I had a pizza date at La Stella Nera, where I had this delectable dessert called cream caramel. I’ve included more food porn from #Berlin for you to drool over. What are your favorites? Share with me in the comments and I will try to fit it in!

Guess I should post my top 9 from 2019! Some of these photos weren’t actually taken in 2019 but that’s alright. It’s a pretty good representation of my year: vegan food, activism, travel, friends, turning 40 and my dad who I lost. It was a pretty okay year but I don’t have anything profound to say. 2019 kind of flew by amiright??!! Turning 40 and then losing a parent was not easy. That consumed much of the 2nd half of the year and left me with more anxiety than I’ve ever experienced before. I’m just trucking along trying to stay positive and blissful through all the muck. I’m hoping 2020 allows me to find a new home in Portugal and a new direction in life. I’m ready to settle down, make a home, continue to grow and learn and share my gifts with the world. Hope you have lots of joy in your life in 2020. What is something you are excited about?
