Anyone else getting lots of joy when they dote over their garden? I know many of my friends have become obsessed with house plants, especially those living in cities. I’m so happy to be living the #farmlife now and growing my own food. It’s funny because my grandparents had a huge farm and I absolutely hated going there as a kid. I never thought I would turn into my grandma 😂 Can’t wait for these to be pumpkins.

It’s nice to have friends that bake you cake to celebrate becoming an official resident of Portugal! That’s right folks! I’m finally official, got my resident card in the mail, and they can’t kick me out 😆 Thanks @loveeatcatering for the cake and being just a lovely person. I’m glad to have you and your friends in my life now! It has made all the difference to feeling that I belong here. I won’t lie, it’s been challenging moving to a small town and trudging through a pandemic without your closest friends. Also shout out to my neighbor @mario.agroeco who I wouldn’t have survived this pandemic without! Okay enough mushy stuff. I’m so happy to live here and I am happy to help any of my friends in the US get themselves to Europe.

So I discovered a little park by a river that has a veggie market and a drink cart Thursday through Sunday. I take a blanket, grab a sangria and cool off in the breeze. Seriously loving these simple pleasures since life is not the usual these days. Have you discovered any simple things that help you through this challenging time? Share with me in the comments!

It’s hard to celebrate during these times but we have to take joy wherever we can right? I was able to get my residency in Portugal today finally after waiting 7 months. I’m so happy!! I also have made some lovely connections with people in my town and will offer outdoor fitness classes Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I know it’s hot but working outdoors is safer than going to the gym! I can’t wait to connect more with my local community here in #santarém. More details at the link in my bio. Hope you are staying safe and well ❤️

E que tal uma aula de fitness ao ar livre, num espaço aberto? Bem melhor do treinar fechado num ginásio. Wouldn’t you prefer to workout outside than go to the gym?

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 dur

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!!

COVID-19 Notice

Portugal is only open to a select group of countries, but we don't feel it is safe to have our wellness retreats at the moment. We now offer small group classes for companies and individuals in Santarem, as well as private one-to-one classes to those in central Portugal. Or check out our online consulting and fitness programs. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming tourists to sunny Portugal soon!
