My New Project

I finally figured that there’s no ‘right time’ to start this. I can try to perfect it and have more stuff figured out, but f*ck it – let’s go 🙂 There will be trial and error (there already has been), but I bitch a little, move on, and learn. 

Soooo, I’m launching a clothing brand. I know, I’m not exactly known to wear a lot of fabric, but when I do, I like it to be cool. I’m doing this with my sister, whom I’ll introduce more closely later on. One of us is more prone to attention than the other one hahhaaaa…

The concept is that we take new as well as old & vintage clothes and pimp them out. Instead of throwing it out, we remake it. By adding color, patches, bling, feathers, embrodery, fringe or whatever else it might be, we revamp it to something that we think looks more snazzy. Or more ‘off the mainstream’ and not so ‘lagom’ as the Swede’s like to use. ‘Lagom’ means ‘just enough’ and that’s not our motto with these pieces of clothing. 

We have a name and right now we’re working on finalizing pieces to reveal and launch. My guess is that it will be launched on Instagram and here first. There will be a website, but none of us is very keen on building one at the moment. 

So with this I want to welcome you to my new venture/experiment/endeavor. I try to be modest, but my brain always rushes ahead and I see fashion shows, a store (or several) and designing clothing from scratch. A success story I guess you could call it. Nothing to lose, so here we go! Here’s some pics of ongoing work…

My YouTube channel will be relaunched with videos of all of this too. There can’t be enough of Puma, right? 

Kisses, Puma

Back on the grind

Haven’t checked in here for a bit as I’ve been busy being productive on some other things. Even though I always have the feeling of ‘I could or should do more’, I like how things have been going lately. I’m working on a new project now. It’s something entirely different and new for me. I hope to include it here on my blog so you can follow my progress 🙂 Been filming for it as I hope to document my results on video.

My choice of relaxing after work is going to the beach, and Puerto Rico has a lot to offer. Here are pics from one of my favorite beaches here, Playa Piñones, with my favorite Russian and Frenchie 🙂 Even threw down a couple of squats and push-ups just to show off…

The second time with Masha that we’ve gotten a flat-tire on the way home. Luckily there was a shop really close, and 10 minutes later we rolled out with a brand new tire!

When I just want a quick dip, I walk down to the lagoon in the middle of the city here. No waves and perfect spot to read and relax. Or just float around in between a set of giant lips lol…

Shot a bunch and I think my favorite was playing a maid. Not to be confused that I’d actually be a good maid, just great at playing one 😉

And variety makes it more fun. Got a favorite?

Been consistent with the gym too. A bit hard to work out with a mask on, but I rather do that than not be able to work out at all… If I could by gains off Amazon I would lol 😉

Got to make sure to indulge in those calories & carbs too. Favorite spot for weekend brunch is Tostado. These pumpkin pancakes with all of the extras check the requirements on the nutrition list – NOT! But soooo goooood!

Other than beaching, creating content, and working out I’ve finished 2 books. Since I love reading and have read some other great books, I’ll make it my priority to include them in my next post here 🙂

Oh, also cops came by us twice. We usually keep the front door open to let air in, and all of a sudden 2 cops in full gear appeared at the door. They were looking for someone named Jose, that’s supposed to live at our address. Told them no Jose here, and they left. The next day 2 other cops show up asking for Jose again. Still no Jose and since then, no more cops… Puh, thought they were finally coming to get me 😉

Some leftover pics. I got a salmon cooking and got to eat, so adios for now 🙂

Back in Puerto Rico

Hello Puerto Rico, heat, and jetlag. It’s always a couple of days of readjustment time when you come back here. Especially since it was getting colder in Sweden, the heat right hooks you in the face! Oh, and back on with the face masks. But other than that, it’s great to be back and have summer again 🙂

Some pics from Sweden. Here having some birthday brunch at Grand Hotel in Stockholm.

After __ glasses of Champagne it felt like a great idea to take some bathroom selfies with Karina. Only person behaving in these pics is Uma Thurman on my t-shirt hahahaaa…

Karina bought a horse and I went to the stable to see if I still had my horse skills. I think I do… Only managed to get stepped on, and now I have a blue toe. But hey, no one died…

You don’t take a pic of it, it didn’t happen. So here’s my proof that I went to the gym more times than a bar or a club. Usually it’s the opposite!

When you try to claim you’re a blond, you better be a little bit more convincing than me! But now I’m back being a blond 🙂

Talked about sex and hopefully get to go on TV and talk more about it. I believe the youth need proper education about sex, and not just have porn as their education.

And of course there was the smut.

That lasted until the cat stepped in and said there was one pussy too many in the picture now…

And these are the leftovers. Me, Andrew, big ass seagull, cute dog at the cafe, coffee and nature.

Hope you all are doing great. Last quarter of this year. Time to get all your sh*t together and finish strong 🙂 Or at least that’s my plan. You have one?

Kisses, Puma

It was my birthday!

I celebrated a little yesterday that I’ve made it one more year 🙂 It was my nephews’ birthday yesterday as well. Usually I’m abroad at this time of year, so yesterday was the first time in a long time that we could spend our birthday together. Hip hip hooray to us 🙂

The past week has mostly been about organizing things for moms’ funeral. Going through her papers and taking care of practical things. A lot of times we get stuck looking at old photographs or remembering a story about something she has at home. I love wearing her old sweater that still smells of her…

I guess this is life. Celebrating a birthday and ‘making it’ another year, as well as having to say goodbye and letting go of someone else. Happiness, sadness, laughter and crying… I’m trying to be better at letting the people in my life that I care about, know that. To celebrate even smaller things more often. You never know what the future brings…

Here comes some pics. First up is this funny horse. Went to the stable with my friend Karina. I used to ride when I was younger and still love horses. This horse seemed to have some love(?) for me too LOL…

https://videopress.com/v/4Zs7aMzh?preloadContent=metadata

Had a night with tapas, wine & girlfriends… Why Linda is on the floor on her knees, I don’t know…

Like America’s Next Top Model, but more sleezy LOL…

Pretending to do laundry in a skimpy outfit. Yeah right.

One of my favorite places, outdoors. Supposedly there’s mushrooms out there now. I found 6 chanterelles. Hello, where did they all go? But we had coffee and ‘fika’ so we were happy anyways!

I had a 6 month check up on my boobs. Looked like they should the doctor said. Nipples pointing in the same direction LOL… Just me wishing they were bigger, but apparently I’m supposed to be content now. Enough is enough the doctor always says to my deaf ears…

I’m getting ready for the gym, getting some new lashes, and hopefully a spray tan. Typical productive Monday for me.

Hugs, Puma

R.I.P Mom

My mom passed away on Tuesday. I’m writing this mostly for myself trying to process this and thinking of our loving mom. It is still unbelievable to understand that she will no longer be with us. Feels like I can still pick up the phone and call her. I do believe that she somehow still is checking in on us, and is present in one form or another, not just in our thoughts. I was smoking on the balcony this morning and saw a big seagull on a roof across the street looking around. As we noticed each other, it spread its wings and flew away. Maybe that was mom just letting me know she was still around. Or maybe she tried to tell me to quit the damn cigarettes already!

Our mom was at the hospital for the past two weeks. She had been at home before then with some health issues. It was finally decided that she needed more treatment at a hospital. We all felt happy that they could get her more help there, and hopefully be pain free as well as regain her strength and then come back home. With Corona we were not allowed to visit her, but talked on the phone often. We kept our hopes up, but when you are old, recovery is slower. They treated her, but other symptoms and concerns arose, and she was getting weaker. 

On Monday night her doctor called and said we should come visit her at the hospital. They would arrange a private room to prevent us from being in contact with any other patients due to Corona. We understood then it was serious. Visits at the hospital are only allowed if the patient might not make it. It was me, my sister, nephew and his girlfriend. We tried to be strong for her, but it’s impossible to not cry when someone you love is at this stage. Mom said she was not in any pain which felt important. She was happy to see us all there. Then they said they were taking her for some more x-rays. They told us we better go home and they would contact us if anything happened. We talked with the nurses and doctor during night time. Mom was not getting better, but was stable. We were told we could come back in the morning.

On Tuesday, as soon as we woke up, we left for the hospital. Her doctor came in and said they were going to attempt a surgery. We were informed that since she was so weak, she might not wake up after the anesthesia. Still, this was the best option. We were told to go have a coffee and be back in 2 hours. As we came back they said mom was waking up from her anesthesia. They arranged a private room for mom and allowed us to be with her when she was waking up. They informed us that she was now in a serious stage and very weak. She wouldn’t even make it back to her room anymore. We held her hands and hugged her. Told her we were there and would stay by her side. That she could relax and that she would have no more pain now… 

But mom wasn’t ready to kick it just yet. She was wheeled back to her room. The doctor told us that mom would slowly fall asleep and her heart would then stop beating. They gave her morphine to make sure there was in no pain. Mom was very peaceful, and we sat by her talking and telling her how much we love her. What an amazing mom and grandma she is. Her breathing slowed down and she looked like she was sleeping. I told my sister I think she took her last breath then. She was still and had a peaceful expression on her face. Right then she took another breath. It was like she told us -”hey, don’t count me out just yet…”. Even though it was such a sad moment, it made us laugh in the middle of it. But that was it… Mom was now traveling to other horizons and no travel restrictions could stop her 🙂 We sat with her for some time having the feeling she would all of a sudden open her eyes. That this was not real…

The nurses said they would take all equipment and bandages off her. We could step out for a moment, but could come back in a bit. As we stepped out of the hospital, there was a beautiful sunset. Perfect time for mom to go to her next place… 

We got back and there was a light and an angel on a table next to mom. Mom looked as if she was calmly sleeping. We said our final goodbyes….

Love you Mom, and thank you for always being there for me! Loving me unconditionally. I keep thinking of all the memories and good times with you. What a fighter you were, and I think I inherited some of your stubbornness. I miss you so much, but I’m happy you are pain free now! 

See you in the future…

Hiking in Sweden

Came back this past Sunday from a 3 day hike up in Jämtland. WOW! Such beautiful nature and fresh air. I went with my sister and Karina. We took the night train on Wednesday evening and had our own ‘room’ with beds.

We arrived to our destination Thursday morning and a bus took us to the trail. All geared up and very eager to get going!

The trail started uphill and we realized pretty fast we need to stop put shorts on. Then we hiked on and took coffee breaks, lunch stop, reindeer watching and just taking in the beautiful views.

Add a couple of pee-stops. I felt I had a Kodak moment where I wanted to take a selfie. Karina felt like she had an other kind of moment in the background at the same time hahahaaaa….

The weather changed the whole day. It was cloudy, some rain, windy and later on we got sun. Found a perfect spot by a river for some Champagne and I went swimming. Or more like, got in – got out, of the water. Put a bikini on? F*ck no! Outdoors and nature require no such thing!

Hiked 16km to the lodge Sylarna, where we stayed overnight. Two course dinner with some drinks was a perfect ending to our first day.

Second day hike was 19km to Blåhammaren. The views along the way are incredible.

In the afternoon when the sun was shining I rinsed off in a river. Dried off on a rock like a mermaid lost in the mountains…

People bring all kinds of essentials for hiking. Our only essential was Champagne. My sisters face says it all hahahaaaa…

After the last kilometers being uphill we were happy to reach Blåhammaren lodge. Ate an amazing 3 course dinner with fish and reindeer, perfectly combined with wine pairing 🙂

Stretching is important… I also drew the shortest stick, so I slept on a mattress on the floor while Karina and my sis slept in a bunk bed. Thanks a lot guys!

3rd and last day the hike was 12km. It was colder, but as long as the Champagne didn’t freeze, no complaints hahahaaa…

In the afternoon the bus took us back to the train. Got pizza at the local spot before the train back. We devoured the pizza before the train even took off hahahaaaa…

And after sleeping on the train back to Stockholm, we arrived like a fresh bunch at 7am 🙂

We all agreed that this was a super fun trip together. We all wished it would’ve lasted a couple of more days. Highly recommend hiking Jämtlandstriangeln (the Jämtland Triangle). You don’t need any previous experience as the hikes are pretty easy. Only suggest to invest in a decent pair of hiking shoes, back pack and a jacket and pants that can handle rain and wind. Oh, and Champagne 😉

Check out my friend Karina’s travel blog too for more info – https://reseaventyr.se/2020/08/21/vandra-jamtlandstriangeln/

Wroooooom…

Feels like the days here in Sweden fly by faster than I can say IKEA. All of a sudden an other week gone by and it’s already August! Almost Christmas! And my birthday and I get older! Holy shit! OK, maybe a bit dramatic, it’s all good hahaaahaaa….

Last weekend me & my friend Karina went kayaking for a weekend. Considered eventual disasters scenarios that we could encounter on the water. Like being run over by big boats, tipping over, the possibility of shitty weather which is like a 90% chance here in Sweden. We were in luck though! Stayed in our kayaks without being run over by boats and the sun was shining 🙂 We bought a 3 day package from Dalarö Kajak. Included everything (kayaks, tents, sleeping bags with thin mattress, camping kitchen) plus one night in a hotel with a 3 course dinner, breakfast buffet and lunch package.

Heading out. They required life vests even though I carry my own ‘floating devices’ 😉

After about 5h kayaking with a lunch stop, we found our own island to camp at the first night. This is not hard in the Swedish archipelago since there are a lot of small islands. Cooked some food, drank wine and dressed up. Who said camping can’t be glamorous? Then a magical sunset and after that the mosquitos came in herds. Only downfall…

Slept pretty good in the tent. It was a snug 2 person tent so you can forget about social distancing. The next day we spent on the island tanning and swimming. Ducks came by and had lunch with us 🙂

Around 3pm we jumped in our kayaks again and paddled to Smådalarö Gård. Super nice place and we went straight to the sauna. Karina is part Finn too, so sauna is like our second home! She has this particular style, or actually no style at all, when she jumps in the water LOL. Unfortunately I have to admit I’m no better and can’t dive… I just don’t post any proof of myself, just my friend, sorry Karina 😉

The dinner was so good and it felt like sleeping on clouds after a night in the tent 🙂

Stuffed ourself (or at least me) at breakfast. Literally…

Relaxed a bit and gathered our strength to paddle back. Well, I couldn’t resist a few selfies in the mirror before leaving…

If you visit Sweden, or are living here, I can highly recommend this trip! 10 out of 10. Great service, price and so much fun!

Karina is like a band aid. She can’t get enough of me 😉 So this weekend we were a few celebrating her birthday too…

I had the luxury of having my make up done by a couple of 12 year olds before dinner. I call the style Las-Vegas-sparkle. They just kept adding, but I must admit they did a pretty good job with what they had to work with hahhaaaaa…

This week there will be a 3 day hike at Jämtlandstriangeln. With Karina obviously, who else? My sister is coming too. I love hiking and I’m so excited about this! What you been up to?

Sunny greetings from Sweden! The sun is shining for now…

Fun times in…

…Sweden! So much to do and family & friends to see. Just got back from an amazing weekend paddling a kayak, camping and finishing with a stay at a hotel with a friend. Just have to go through (and censor) closer to 300 pics before posting them 😉

In my last post I said there was a party at my friend Linda’s. I did need some recovery, but I’m too restless to just chill. And I need coffee in the morning whatever state I’m in… Me and my sister went for a walk and found this amazing spot called The Nut House. They had a restaurant, shop and a gallery. And the hammock that I took a siesta in…

Then it was time to visit my friend Katrin and Bingo with more friends. They’re all very entertaining & hilarious and it was a full day of BBQ, sauna and catching/cracking up.

Too much laughing with my cohorts also required a dose (or a couple) of Botox. Wrinkles from laughing are great, but I have to control them a little, unless I want to rename myself to Puma the Raisin…

Every now and then I have to work too. Luckily I have a pleasureful job I enjoy, so it makes it easy 🙂

Then Nelly stepped in and said it was enough smut for one day and crashed my shoot…

Also went over to my friend Anneli. I pretty much go from one household to the next and eat & drink! Stole her kids ponies and tried burning 5 calories from all the snacks consumed.

The rest of the crop. Family, eating, starstruck, Nelly and creativity kicking in!

Hope you’re living it up this summer where ever in the world you are! Sending you virtual hugs from a safe distance 🙂

Switching countries

Sorry it’s been a while. Decided to go to Sweden and had to cram the last days in Utah. Arriving in style is necessary, so went to this amazing lady who put on some lashes and tattooed my eyebrows!

Videos and pics had to be produced…

Squeezed in one last hike and why not wash yourself while hiking? No shower needed after 🙂

And on the day of flying I always try to workout too before my flight. That way I can hopefully chill on the plane 🙂

A bit nervous checking in cause I had no proof of my dual citizenship. No ID, passport or papers. US citizens are not able to travel to Sweden until August 31st. Well, I got through after managers being called, my sister sending pics of papers showing I have my family here and me being at my best behavior 🙂 After connecting flights in Chicago and London I finally arrived wohoooo…

Visiting mom is always priority number one and she loves feeding me! Next stop was my childhood friend Karina. It was a 24h thing that included swimming, sauna, chickens, BBQ and wine…

Catching up takes time so barely had time to sleep. By mistake I had promised to participate in her sons training in the morning at 7AM!!!! I was NOT in my best shape and we also had to sprint in the woods… Just prayed I wouldn’t vomit! I went home later and slept for 2h after that!

I spent an other 24h at my friend Linda’s house this weekend. Even less sleep and this is what recovering yesterday looked like pretty much…

That’s it for now. Hope you all are great and more Sweden stuff to come 🙂

Happy 4th of July…

…weekend 🙂 Did you celebrate? I researched hikes, and off we went. Not really paying attention to the length, altitude, etc, just seeing pretty lakes in the pictures, it was a lot more strenuous we realized when we where about halfway up. Turn around and go down again? No one wanted to give in, so we continued up… Totally worth it when we finally reached the top! We were almost completely alone up there, and it was amazing to take in the sun, silence, and views!

Can you spot the deer in the picture?

Totally exhausted when we came back down, but if you’re in Utah and want a good hike, this one is called Maybird Gulch.

Bought a package of fireworks too, and fired them off in a parking lot. I really enjoy the ones with a big bang!

Of course I had some content to go with 4th of July 🙂

And some other content as well…

I wish when I was a kid when I had anxiety over my big ass feet (they grew twice as fast as the rest of my body parts), I’d known that one day they’d be moneymakers hahahaaaa… Now my big feet have quite the fan base 🙂

Some days I wonder if Bogi doesn’t need some caffeine too…

I worked out this week too. Only remembered to snap pics one day though. If you look at that face you know I was fighting the weights pretty hard…

And with that I say: enjoy the rest of your weekend and cheers!
