Soooo, on Wednesday it was my birthday 🙂 Decided I wanted to go to one of my favorite spots here in Mexico City: Boxque Teva. It’s only about 45 min from the city and in the woods. I’ve written about this place before, and if you come to the city and need to clear your head, come here!
Before leaving, I’m always making sure Hunter is taken care of. Julieta is Hunter’s extra mom and she knows only the best is good enough for Hunter. Ancestral ground beef mixed with liver and other healthy stuff. Cat food is below him. Or at least he thinks so and looks offended when I feed a can to him hahahaaa…
Here are some pics from Boxque Teva… Went with a friend and we had the whole place to ourselves.
I wanted to take some time and reflect on the year that has been and reset for the one to come. What better way than to have nature’s own medicine to help you – magical mushrooms. I like the image in the window too, it’s like the photo is saying “Mushrooms, please show me the way…”
Settled in at a clearing and let my mind go wherever it needed to go…
It got a bit cold later and moved in to the main room with a fire pit…
The people that worked then prepped dinner. Ate, listened to music and later rain and thunder…
Slept like a baby. Had a relaxing morning and then breakfast in the sun…
Found these cards with wisdom and this one is so accurate for me…
Took some picture because the Psychonaut Explorer clothes just fit perfectly here 🙂
Got some presents from my second home here in Mexico, Bold & Bowl the hair salon. Angel also thought I deserved getting my hair done with some wine 🙂
I’ve really gotten into baking. Well, pizza might not be strictly baking. I also attempted Paleo bagels. You can see how they look in the book. Mine look like torn up b*ttholes! But they tasted decent 🙂
Hunter, always close by and sometimes we’re holding hands…
In case you need more of me…
Had a coffee with my fellow Finn, Milla, here in Mexico and she had her birthday yesterday. She got me these beautiful flowers 🙂
Remember, enough is enough! Until next week friends 🙂
This is my 4th week eating pretty much paleo. My biggest goal has been to stop eating refined sugars, candy and chips. I do crave treats though, so I’ve been baking. It’s kind of relaxing and then you get to feast! I could finish the dough alone and not even bake them hahhaaaa…
Tried a new photographer/videographer this week and we shot some super cool stuff. Got plans for some more creative psychedelic-like shoots, and I think we’ll be creating some amazeballs things together 🙂 Only got these so far…
Then Ximena shot my weekly naughty content 🙂 Do you believe in psychics? I know this psychic lady in LA that I’ve seen a couple of times and it’s crazy how accurate she is. I’ll write about it another time and tell you 🙂
Making a new mushroom jacket 🙂
Finally had to succumb and go see Angel to cut my hair. It looked like it had been electrocuted while a lawnmower ran over the ends.
Went back the next day and sorted out a manicure and pedicure…
Lunch with Sanna who is a Swedish chica living here in Mexico too. She is a really good artist and we discussed if she should paint me.
Another day, another microdose…
I borrowed a projector from a friend for my shoot and also played some cat videos for Hunter. Just the popcorn missing…
While on the topic Hunter…
Gym and mostly me in pink…
Sent this to Masha who is almost a full Doctor now. This actually happened to me in Sweden one time when I was going in for a check-up of the ‘taco’. The doctor even gave me a mirror so I could follow along hahahhaaaa…
This week is my birthday wohoooo! I’m going to the woods overnight and also doing a small get together with some friends 🙂
Now another cappuccino and some reading. I wish you a fabulous day/night and upcoming week!
particular amazingness from this past week. Just feels like I did the same sh*t as always, the week passed, and now we’re in September 🙂 Which reminds me that my birthday is coming up September 13th wohoooo! I’ve already made plans to be in the woods and shroom hahahaa…
Gym business got taken care of. A necessity for me to feel good in my head even more so than in my body. Excess energy needs to be drained…
The usual stuff…
And siestas with Hunter because that’s just how we roll 🙂
Got a bit creative yesterday and asked to borrow my friends pool to test some stuff out. Will see how it turns out. A couple of behind the scenes pics…
Tried a new microdose and really liked it…
Also an article was published about me and Psychonaut Explorer on Canvas Rebel. Here’s the link if you want to read more – https://canvasrebel.com/meet-puma-swede/
I think that pretty much covers the week. Got a Paleo baking recipe book so I plan to bake some later today. Also planning a trip to Colombia in October, but otherwise just hanging out locally. How cool are my coffee mugs?
I did a lot of fun things 🙂 Last weekend we went to W Hotel to celebrate Dyana’s birthday. They have drag queen shows on Saturdays and they are super popular. It was really fun, especially when they rocked out with some Abba songs so I could pretend to sing along 🙂
Got inspired by a hairstyle and went to the salon to have them copy it on me 🙂
Lasted for about 4 days of shooting and workouts…
I managed to control my sugar intake for 2 weeks now. I haven’t had any refined sugars and have not eaten bread, pasta or chips. Secretly hoping there would be a huge difference on my body, but can’t say I’ve noticed any 🙁 But one can hope that I’m healthier on the inside at least…
I do get cravings so I tried baking some paleo stuff. Kind of failed by the looks of it, but it tasted really good. The blueberry muffins look black and it was supposed to be cookies, but I ended up scraping it all off the pan and it became like a crumble. I have now ordered a paleo recipe book for baking!
Don’t remember if I shared that I switched up my hair color? I get bored of my hair and the color so trying a bit of orange now 🙂
Photo shoots of the new color. I like it lot! Feels like I’m ready for fall…
I’ve been following this cool Swedish chick Maxinne on Instagram forever. About a month ago she wrote that she’s coming to Mexico City. Wrote her about meeting up. Long story short, we now have done 2 photo shoots with some other awesome chicas for a project she is doing. I love meeting new interesting people.
We also went wig shopping Downtown with her friend Vania. I wanted to buy this pink bowl that I think looked awesome, but they wouldn’t sell it to me 🙁
This past weekend my Finnish superwoman Milla was competing in a Crossfit competition here in town. Obviously put on my Suomi hockey jersey that I got from Milla and went to support. She is awesome and you could hurt yourself on her six pack!
At the drag queen show, I met this talented girl Abee La Sensacion. She sings, but she also has a cool store with shiny clothes. She had an event this weekend and me and Angel went…
And speaking of clothes, I saw some of my Psychonaut Explorer clothes on display in the store here wohoooo…
What else? I’ve been going for some physiotherapy weekly. I usually go when I have pain, but trying to go and prevent that tightness that builds up and then results in pain.
Hunter is doing great 🙂 Our favorite thing to do is napping together. I might be like 10% cat as much as I love napping…
Oh, and since he caught that bird, he’s on constant surveillance mode to catch more… So far, no success!
Then just the random pics of me and a couple of cute pets I’ve spotted when out 🙂
Got a Spanish lesson today and the gym opens late because of the competition so I’m going to work on some clothing I think 🙂 I hope you are superb and have an amazeballs week!
I had a very introspective and insightful trip on magic mushrooms when I was in San Jose del Pacifico. I wanted to find someone to take me picking mushrooms in the woods, but didn’t manage to find anyone. I was recommended a guy who provided the mushrooms and did a little ceremony. We met up in the morning at 10am. Only had a bit of coffee and some fruit before. I was with someone I know and trust, and who also enjoys psychedelics, and the three of us walked to a nearby hotel which was surrounded by beautiful nature and beautiful views. A very relaxing setting which is very important when tripping…
While walking the guide shared a bit how he got into magic mushrooms. His mom had a heart problem. They tried different medicines, but nothing helped. She starting eating magic mushrooms, and 3 years later she didn’t have any more heart issues! She gave gave him mushrooms when he was 12 years old the first time…
We settled at a spot in the forest and laid out blankets and a little ceremonial ‘altar’.
These were our mushrooms, and they had been made into a tea. Before drinking the tea we silently said our intentions for the journey. My intentions were to explore what my fears are. I decided that I would push towards the darkness if it occurs during the trip and find out what’s there…
Our guide had prepped these shrooms and he took a small dose to be in tune with us.
I usually feel the effect of psychedelics fast and I think it’s because I know to just let go and surrender to whatever is coming. Like they say, ‘mushrooms don’t give you what you want, they give you what you need’. This time was no different, and pretty quickly (I think like 20min) I saw the forest glow and flicker. I lied down and closed my eyes. I had very beautiful visuals, and a lot of thoughts and questions passed through my mind. In the beginning I was aware of the forest and where I was, but there was a time where I was just part of and flowing with the visuals.
I had some ‘darkness’ and tried to explore if there was something there that I was afraid of. As soon as I pushed toward it and allowed myself to just be in it, I came out and it was pleasurable and enjoyable.
After about 2h I sat up, had some water, and grabbed my headphones for music. I saw that my friend had left his spot and I will share what happened to him in the end. I lied back down and looked at the trees as the sun was peeking through and hitting my face. I cried and had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Whatever built-up in my body was released. I got up and went to look at the view and cried a bit more. It wasn’t really out of sadness, but a lot of people I care about passed through my mind…
After about 4 hours the guide and I walked up to this look-out spot. He went to look for my friend. I sat here alone and just took it all in. Also found this note someone had attached and it resonated with me right there…
At this spot and moment it was me at my purest form. Everything peeled off, just empty and breathing. I realized that when I leave this spot different layers of ‘reality’ will be added on top of me. Being among people, work, social media, friends, your daily must do’s and routines… I promised myself that I would try to return to this spot in my mind if I ever need some peace and quiet internally…
The guide came back and said he wasn’t able to find my friend. I wasn’t really worried since I know he is experienced with psychedelics. But still, wanted to make sure he hadn’t fallen or hurt himself in some other way. We asked the reception at the hotel, and they hadn’t seen him. We walked back to where I was staying and asked the reception there, but no sign of him. I got my wifi back and my phone rang. Long story short, my friend walked off and felt he needed to go pee and escape the mosquitos for a bit. He walked by a cabana and just went inside. No one was there so he peed and fell asleep on the bed. He woke up and realised what happened and emerged back to reality LOL…
I like the calm I feel after a strong trip. I sat outdoors and listened to music and danced, thinking about what I saw and felt during the trip.
Still haven’t figured out why I sometimes feel fear. It’s more a feeling and not really related to anything real. Just like stress, it’s usually my mind creating scenarios and there’s not really any real reason to feel stressed.
This was an amazing trip and by night I had the fireplace lit and watched old music videos from the 80’s and 90’s 🙂
I’ve had a fun week and last night ended at W Hotel with a drag show 🙂 Will try to write during the week, but no promises 😉
Born and raised in Sweden, but I’m of Finnish ancestry. I’m now an American citizen and currently live in Mexico. I’d rather say yes than no to new experiences, and you’ll find me traveling a lot. I love to be creative and have a clothing line Psychonaut Explorer. Coffee is a necessity in life, but no instant-shit! Quality beans please. I Crossfit and hike for exercise and try to eat paleo, which goes so-so. I take pics and video of pretty much everything, read a lot, and enjoy watching movies and series.
