SF, Laser, and Artistic Stuff…

I loved being in San Francisco! Familiar places, friends, a wedding. I want to live in Marin County! Took an early flight last Friday so I could squeeze in as many things as possible while there. I was doing well with my healthy eating the week before SF. No chips, refined sugars, or treats at coffee shops. That all blew out of the window as soon as I got to SF. I love clam chowder and a shrimp sandwich to top it off. Salad with that? No thanks, give me fries, hahahaaa….

A common sight in the Bay Area is self driving cars. Next to my Uber this car was just driving itself…

Tried a new coffee spot RÉVEILLE. Pretty good…

I had booked a Genius Bar appointment beforehand. My Mac was overheating and the battery lasted like 5 min. Turns out the battery was pretty much done. Ended up walking out with a new Mac and will use the old one as a back-up 🙂

Then went to my friends house and was served Espresso martinis 5 minutes after I walked through the door. That’s what I call hospitality 🙂 I love coffee cocktails! My night ended with more martinis and we ordered Indian food for dinner.

Stayed at another friends house in Mountain View. In the morning I need coffee like pretty much right away. I threw on my sneakers and walked to my old coffee shop Red Rock Coffee. So beautiful walking through the neighbourhood. So green and everything was in bloom. OK, a little overkill with all the rose photos, but they were so big and beautiful. (I have like 20 more if someone has a rose fetish lol).

After the coffee I painted my face and then drove out to Turlock. It’s 2h outside the city, in the middle of farm lands for almonds and apples. Then you turn in on a small road and arrive at a lavender farm where the wedding was held. It was like a green oasis in the middle of nowhere…

In the beginning of the ceremony the person marrying the couple asked everyone to put down their phones and to actually participate fully in the moment instead of taking pics or videos. I thought that was a really nice initiative. When Salma & Jared finally stood by the altar, the person said, ‘OK, I know you all want that one pic for Instagram, so here is your moment.’ Hilarious! phones came out so fast, including mine, and everyone got their shot hahhaaaa… It was a great wedding as they are one of the nicest people I know and I got to know when living in Mountain View. Here’s a photo of me looking like I’m dressed for a S&M party, and I snapped this pic of S & J when they where taking some wedding photos in the sunset.

Spent the night at an Airbnb in Turlock. On Sunday day I wanted to check out Marin County. First stop was Larkspur. Wow, what a cute little village! Bonus that they had an Equator Coffee there too AND a Swedish cardamom bun that I just haaaaad to have!

From there I drove through Corte Madera to Tiburon. Such a beautiful drive with houses by the water and so green and lush…

Had lunch with friends, pictured here is gorgeous Romina with Lucy, and the view from the restaurant…

I could easily see myself living somewhere in these hoods! Drove over the Golden Gate bridge back to Mountain View…

It was a fast and great trip over all. Almost forgot to show you this cool hat I found while shopping. Obviously had to have it!

On Thursday I visited Tatiana to laser off some sunspots skin bumps or whatever they’re called on my face & neck. I look like I have some skin condition, but doesn’t stop me from going out and it’s healing nicely 🙂

While on the laser topic, I went and injected and lasered my spider veins yesterday. They require constant maintenance and this Dr is super good and my legs look a lot better than before…

Feels good to be back at the gym. Been doing longer and more cardio based workouts. I like switching up my exercises and I hope I will feel more comfortable with running soon. Running is my least favorite thing with burpee broad jumps!

Did some ‘artistic’ work as well 🙂

And as usual Hunter is close by, but he doesn’t care about being in front of the camera as much as I do hahhaaa… He counts the seconds until I release him from my grip!

While on the topic Hunter. Milla came visiting and Hunter was quick to lay next to her and get scratches 🙂

There was a bazar the week before last and I had some stuff for sale. This Day Tripper jacket from Psychonaut Explorer among other things 🙂

I had a friend who had some surgery done and I went to a checkup with her. As you can see I’m great at support taking selfies instead hahahaa…

Other than that I’ve been to school and tomorrow I have the studio booked and I’m going to practice lighting on Ximena. Then me drinking coffee and and a couple of cute doggies I ran into 🙂

Popped a microdose yesterday and was smart and baked cookies before incase I would get cravings 🙂

That about concludes what I’ve been up to. Plan to bake my paleo bread today and maybe visit Milla because she got one of those hairless cats.

Wish you a fabulous Sunday and week to come!

Bit Of This and That…

Started my week popping by Tatiana and getting my third and final set of NCTF injections. I sometimes wonder how I’d look if I would’ve stayed all natural? No lip fillers, tattooed eyebrows, lower face lift, Botox and whatever other injections I’ve had, and what color would my natural hair actually be? Too late to wonder about that, will just keep injecting, lasering, lifting, cutting and coloring hahahhaaa…

Had to catch up on a lot of work. Custom orders and the regular smut 🙂

As I’ve said before, Hunter likes to be involved and it’s not always helpful. Here he just planted himself in the middle of the shot and we had to take a 5 min break to pet him and finally convince him to pick another spot…

Had another class of lighting. So much fun to learn and it’s amazing how much you can change the feel of a photo with different lighting. We also practiced copying the lighting from different shots. I picked a photo of one of my favorites directors, Quentin Tarantino!

Some selfies from this week. I bought this awesome hair cap from Japan….

And this weeks pics of Hunter. He thought my bra was a perfect headrest hahahaa…

A couple of more shots from my shoot at the love hotel in Tokyo 🙂

Yesterday I came across my mushroom micro-dose pills. Decided to take one. Normally I don’t feel anything from them, but yesterday I felt it kick in. Had a good feeling and then later I got huge munchies and had to order pizza and snacks. Only overdid by a little on the sugar ratio LOL…

I did go to the gym too but forgot to take pics as proof, so you just have to take my word for it. That’s pretty much all I had going for me this week. Next week I have more work, school, and gym planned. How about you?

Japan Part 2

It’s good to be back, but damn, the jet lag is rough! Been to the gym twice and it feels like it’s the first time ever hahahah… Note to self: don’t skip the gym on holidays! Good to have Hunter jet lag with me, and he likes the Japanese cat treats I bought him 🙂

Anyways, here comes the rest of my Japan trip. Before heading to Kyoto I had breakfast with some people still left in town from the wedding. Not your usual eggs & bacon…

Then jumped on the bullet train that took a little bit more than 2h straight to Kyoto. Not a problem when you bring a few(?) snacks. The breakfast didn’t quite hit the spot.

Guess train rides build an appetite so I got a Wagyu burger for my dinner in Kyoto. Super tasty and it was nice to have something else besides sushi and yakiniku.

Strolled around after and checked out Nishiki Market at closing time. The market is packed with food stalls and other little stores.

Straight for coffee the next morning and starting with Goodman Roaster. Thumbs up!

Then walking in the rain and checking out what Kyoto has to offer. Everyone was on the look out for cherry blossoms. Wherever they were there were always people taking pics. Why should I be any different 😉 

Then more coffee and tried Okaffe Roasting Park. Here they don’t rush to make your coffee. It was almost like an art form and there was always some latte art in the milk. Another superb coffee spot!

After a nap I headed back to Nishiki Market to eat dinner. WOW, the amount of people! It came to a total stand-still at moments. Tried some different seafoods and it was amazing! 

Finished off with some sake at the room 🙂 Iit’s party-o’clock somewhere in the world, right?

Headed to the famous Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine the next morning. I knew there would be people and I think half of Kyoto was there at 8am in the morning! Still a beautiful hike up and and lit a candle for family & friends who have passed at the top 🙂

And some things that caught my eye on the walk back…

All the fresh air, the climb, and heat made it necessary for a coffee stop and then a sugary waffle-thingy on top of that…

Walked by a place called SkÃ¥l which means ‘cheers’ in Swedish. Nothing Swedish about the place. Had to go in and check to make sure. Looked like they had good food so I decided to try it. The portions were really small, and super good, so I ordered a 2nd plate. The guy that took my order and payment looked impressed 🙂

Also found Stumptown coffee at a beautiful outdoor mall, bought a new perfume after a lot of testing, impressed by the selection of kimchi and noodles at the grocery store, bought a seal-vibrator at a sex shop, ate more yakiniku saw more shrines… And bought this superb second hand kimono for $15.

I loved all the great coffee places in Kyoto. For me it was the wrong time to be there as I think it was too many tourists. It was hard to get a table at restaurants at night because everyone was fully booked. I see the charm with the small alleys and maybe I would’ve liked it more if I visited another time…

Decided to check out Hakone on the way back to Tokyo. Wow, this was my spot! This is right after getting off the train and going to my Airbnb.

I was so excited to get a bedroom with the Japanese style where you just unfold a mattress on top of these mats. I sleep better on hard surfaces so this was perfect for me. I had to google about this and supposedly it’s a better way of sleeping for your body and posture. Maybe my future bedroom 🙂

Hakone is famous for their onsens. They are bath houses with hot springs. After I checked in I went straight to one called Tenzan. Wow, it was so nice and I liked it since they had baths outdoors. You put your clothes in a locker. No swimwear needed or allowed. Then you wash yourself and visit the different pools and saunas. It was so relaxing and it only cost $10. No photos allowed from inside so got these from their website. There were more pools, but my favorite was sitting inside the cave 🙂

Starving afterwards and decided to grab food at the restaurant there. I saw there was raw horse meat on the menu and went for the safe bet ordering fish, shrimp and veggies. The shrimps were tiny little things with shell, head, and everything. The fish was tiny too, but good. Maybe not my best meal of the trip but I had some chips and cookies from 7-Eleven after hahahha…

Was supposed to head out and see The Hakone Open Air Museum the next day. While I was having coffee I discovered there were hikes in the area. Opted for a 3 hour hike instead and it was a really nice trail along Lake Ashi.

When finishing I went straight back to the same onsen as the day before. Perfect after a day out sitting in the hot water just relaxing…

I wish I would’ve had more days in Hakone. Smaller and more chill than Kyoto. Not as crowded and there were more things I would’ve wanted to check out. I would’ve done hot springs every day! One can always hope to visit again 🙂 Took the bullet train back to Tokyo while snacking on chocolate shroomies 🙂

Dropped my bags off at the hotel and headed straight to brunch with friends from the wedding… I think I visited the dessert table like 4 times 🙂

The next day I went to a micro pig cafe. They have so many different animal cafes in Tokyo with owls, hedgehogs, capybaras and snakes for example. I started wondering if Hunter would accept a micro pig as a buddy, but I think he’s happy being the only one getting attention so it’s a no 😉 But they were very cute…

A photographer wrote me on IG and asked if I wanted to shoot while in Japan. Why not? Got to put in a little bit of work while travelling 🙂 I wanted to shoot at a love hotel. Basically a hotel where couples can go and hang out, (and more), away from home as many live with their parents. They have them here in Mexico too. You book them per hour. So after cuddling with the piggies I met the photographer at Lapia Hotel and booked a room. You get free popcorn and can pick a costume to wear too. There are vending machines for lingerie and toys too. Very cool! It was a great shoot and the photographer was great. Here are a couple of behind the scenes pics and a couple of shots I put on IG. More coming 🙂

I had initially planned to go to a snake cafe after, but opted to join some friends at a Muscle Girl Bar instead. It is just what it sounds like, a bar with muscular girls. You get a protein shot when you came in and for about $30 USD you could drink as much as you wanted. The girls danced, poured shots in peoples mouths for tips, did pole tricks and pull-ups. There was a whole menu for what you could buy for tips, butt kicking, face slaps, being sandwich between 2 girls (only for girls though) etc… It was a fun experience and the girls were fun.

I was pretty beat and a bit drunk when I made it back to the hotel. Put on a face mask and my April fools joke was that I had adopted this bird I found. I actually found it while shopping for fun stuff for my shoot and thought this birdie would look good on my head 🙂

The last day in Tokyo was spent walking around and I bought some gifts. Walked by the famous Shibuya Crossing, the iconic intersection. Traffic is stopped in all directions where everyone can cross in all directions…

Coffee break and spotted some cherry blossoms…

I got an reservation at Sushi Nakamura for my last dinner in Tokyo. A friend who spends a lot of time in Tokyo and loves sushi recommended the place. It was Omikase style with sake pairing. It was definitely in the top 5 of food experiences in my life! The sushi melted in my mouth. Also the first time I tried uni, but not my favorite. There was so much food ands sake I rolled/wobbled out of there hahahaa…

Needed a boost of coffee before heading to the airport so I relented and made a cup of instant coffee, having to use the free toothbrushes the hotel offered to stir it with. Very classy…

Took the train to the airport and the flight home felt super fast since I slept most of the way 🙂

It was a great trip. I’m amazed how clean everything is. Even the public bathrooms are spotless! No smell, no paper on the floor or drops of whatever (most likely piss on the floor)… And I love the toilets that wash all your holes, fan that dries you and some even had music that you could play for privacy! Also something I’d like for my home! A picture of one of the toilets where the water was filling up from the top after flushing. Or was it for washing your hands? LOL

The train and subways was the same way. No litter or stained seats. People stand aside orderly when you exit and even if it’s crowded there’s no pushing. Maybe due to all the signs they have up…

There’s also no smoking on the streets. There are designated areas, street corners or smoke rooms at hotels and malls. There was a lady who used clothing rollers to clean up the entrance mat at the hotel…

Here comes the usual leftover pics…

Such a beautiful wedding and great to see friends I don’t get to see often. I loved Hakone and hope to explore more of Japan one day.

Hitting the gym in a bit and got Lesha coming over later to teach me some more Photoshop and Lightroom. Got a lighting class this week too and hope my sleep will be back to normal any day now!

Wish you a fantastic week!

Blondie, Injections & Apple Pie

Happy being back to blonde. Angel came over and decolored the yellow out of my hair and fixed the roots.

On Tuesday I finally had my class in lighting. The school has a smaller studio where we practiced. Started basic and then got to experiment a little. Scheduled another class for lighting when I’m back from Japan 🙂

Then experimented some more at home. Not really, I just have crappy lights for my homemade content hahhaaaa…

Saw Tatiana on Thursday for my second session of NCTF. When I’m there waiting for the numbing cream to kick in, hugging the support piggy and complaining about my under-eye wrinkles, she goes to her cabinet and pulls out a package. It’s called Aqu Lift and one of these packages has 5 needles with threads. I had one package done for each eye. Crazy looking and thank god for the numbing cream!!!

I had to film it because I thought it was so freaky looking, so if you have a needle fetish, here you go 🙂

https://videopress.com/v/RN4jae1C?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true

To top it all off she did the NCTF using my face like a punchingbag for needles and covering my face in a blood red mask hahhaaaa…

I also had the permanent cap put in by the dentist. If you ever consider dentistry work or injections, come to Mexico. It’s so much cheaper and as long as you go to a well reviewed place, you can save a lot of dinero! If I move back to USA, I will come back here and fix everything that’s broken 🙂

Now you’re going to get my best tip of the week – fast and delicious apple pie. I made it twice this week and I changed out the brown sugar to coconut sugar. It’s so delicious, you only need the ready pastry dough, apples, sugar, cinnamon, butter and egg. It doesn’t look so good here in the pic, but trust me, make double portions right away 🙂 You’ll find the recipe and instructions here – https://natashaskitchen.com/apple-cinnamon-slab-pie/

Too much apple pie and Dayana convinced me to go out to Santa Fe on Friday and do a class of booty & abs with her at the Commando gym. Checking the results after. Dayana passes but I need like 100 more booty classes!

A very cool barista I know here got this awesome tattoo because she also loves magical mushrooms!

Hunter says hi and has found his new spot. Can you find him?

I’ve cleared that spot for him now, and of course he hasn’t used it since. Maybe it was more comfortable with all the chargers and cables there…

Here we compete for the title ‘Best Double Chin” in this pic… He loves half-laying on my belly when we go to bed, then he starts to fall asleep and sliding down. By some automatic reaction his claws come out to try to hold him in place. Worst idea ever, but what Hunter wants, Hunter gets.

I just finished shooting my Swedish friend Sanna who’s an artist. We got to use a studio and I got to practice my photography skills. We shot a lot of cool stuff. Just have to go through them before I show you 🙂 Here’s just a screenshot of from my IG story.

By accident this morning, I realized that my flight to Japan is tomorrow night and not on Tuesday night! Got to head home and wash & pack. Julieta is coming over to live with Hunter and make sure his needs are catered for like the king he believes he is hahahahaa..

OK, catch you from Japan next week 🙂

Needles, sleeze & party…

I always think it’s better to push hard in the beginning of the week. I have the most energy and motivation then to get stuff done. On Monday I tried a new place I was recommended and got a NCTF treatment. No idea what it stands for, but your face is injected and it’s supposed to be good to freshen up your skin. I really don’t like needles, but the lady gave me this stuffed animal for support and I managed.

After she applied this calming mask. I like how plump my lips look hahahaaa…

From there I walked straight to the dentist. I’ve got a super good place where I go just around the corner. I had a tooth that started hurting in La Paz and thought I’d walk by to see if they had an appointment available. They checked my mouth and said one of my crowns had broken. Told me to come back at 6pm the same day. More needles, ugh! But they have some strong ass numbing cream here so I barely felt them 🙂

Hit the gym 3 times this week where I try to train outdoors unless I need the rack. Almost too hot though and I’ll show you my face of struggle LOL… Weights vs Puma 1-1.

Got my picture taken…

Doing some spring cleaning with all of my patches and Psychonaut clothing. Planning a spring sale too when I got these pieces done that I’m working on 🙂

On Friday I saw ‘Dune 2’. I love the book and part 1 of the movie. This was good, but I wasn’t blown away. Other than by the spicy jalapeno popcorn I ate too much of hahahaaa…

Yesterday was the International Cat Rescue Day. I went all-in with a cat mask, but it’s hard to impress Hunter unless I’m holding a plate with meat in front of him hahhaaaa… Rescued Hunter almost 1,5 years ago. Do you guys have rescues of some kind?

Last night I went to a birthday party. Started off at a house and then busses took us to a club with a show. All the songs were in Spanish and it was all 80’s hits they told me and people were going wild. It was good music even though I didn’t have any idea what they were singing about.

Finished Jo Nesbo’s book ‘Headhunters’. Liked it and in this case I think the movie does the book justice. Reading the 1st book in his series ‘Harry Hole’ now, but I won’t read more of them. It’s good, but I need more action…

Got a class in Photoshop and Lightroom tomorrow, then gym and more needles. Getting some Botox too before going to Japan so they don’t mix me up with a Sphynx cat.

I talked to Troy in Jamaica today about out upcoming psilocybin retreat. I got these info sheets below to share too. I really want as many of you to get to experience what I did, so Troy also agreed to give me a discount to offer you. If you write PUMA when booking, you will get $500 off. This is good for the retreat I’m going to, May 22nd – 25th, BUT, since everyone might not be able to come in May, you can also use the code for the retreats happening March 27th – 31st and April 22nd – 26th.

If you want to read more about the retreat, here is a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago – https://pumaswedecom.wordpress.com/2024/02/09/mycelia-retreat-in-jamaica/. And don’t hesitate to write me or Mycelia if you have any questions 🙂

OK, time to heat up some leftovers. Or order a pizza 🙂 And here are some leftover pics – THE END!

Mycelia retreat in Jamaica

If you’ve been following my adventures for a while, you’ll remember I visited Jamaica and the Mycelia mushroom retreat last May. It was one of the highlights of last year’s experiences for me. I’m now thrilled to extend the invitation for you to join me on my next journey at Mycelia.

I’m currently in talks with the Mycelia team to organize a special retreat tailored for my friends, readers, and followers. Whether you’re a curious first-timer or a bit of a psychonaut like me, Mycelia offers a unique setting to work on yourself.

Dates: May 22nd – 26th

How much? USD $3495 (excluding extra beach hotel days).

Before attending, there will be a call to make sure this experience is a good fit for you. Also a call with the facilitator before attendance.


I fell in love with Jamaica and the Mycelia Retreat and it was an unforgettable experience. The team, led by knowledgeable guides, created a fun and relaxing atmosphere. From Marcel’s home cooked daily meals to Mama Orah’s soothing yoga sessions, while Troy’s kept a watchful eye on us all 🙂 For me the whole trip was perfect.

Mycelia is located close to Ocho Rios in a beautiful villa nestled in the hills overlooking the Caribbean Sea.  It has an amazing 9 ft deep salt water pool and a hot tub where you can relax and work on your tan 🙂


It’s a 4-day retreat, including 3 days of medicine, the psilocybin doses are tailored to each individual.  We start with a smaller dose on the beach and the dosages increase in later sessions.  When the retreat ends we have an option to stay at the waterfront beachfront hotel and I recommend a couple of extra days post-retreat to process your experience.   

Many of us did last time which I really enjoyed because it gave us time to talk about our journeys, paddle board, and just hang out.    

Here are links to 2 of my posts from Mycelia last year if you want to get a feeling and read about my experiences there.

Jamaica
Ja Mon…

I recommend you check out Mycelia’s website where there’s more info. This is the website for Mycelia Retreat – https://www.myceliajm.com/

Mycelia was featured on Al Jazeera’s Mindset docuseries last week and you can watch it on their website or here’s the link to see it on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_DZwKOG1xA

I’m so excited as this will be my 1 year anniversary at Mycelia, and I hope you can join me 🙂 Feel free to reach out to me or Mycelia if you have any questions.

Money, health or relationships?

I subscribe to a newsletter by James Clear who wrote the bestselling book ‘Atomic Habits’. No, I haven’t read the book, but I love his weekly newsletters. In this week’s letter the first item read:

“If you want a recipe for unhappiness, spend your time accumulating a lot of money and let your health and relationships deteriorate.”

That made me think about how I prioritize and value these things. How would you rank/prioritize these – money, health and relationships? Are you happy at the moment?

For me it goes health, relationships, and then money. I believe that if you have your health, nothing is impossible. I do value my relationships highly too since I’m pretty damn social and love surrounding myself with smart, funny, and a bit loco people 🙂 But I guess if I didn’t have an income and needed to eat and have a roof over my head, I’d prioritize money.

Some other things I value highly are travel, experiences that challenges me, and learning new skills. And tripping 😉 How about you?

Tepoztlán

Went for another staycation last week. I visited and stayed in Tepoztlán again, and I love it there. Very chill with great restaurants and bars. I’ve heard that it gets packed during the weekends though. I prefer to visit places during the week when it’s not too crowded. That way you never have to wait for a table and there are plenty of Airbnb accommodations to choose from. This was our casa and it was great!

Checked in and took a stroll. We passed this beautiful cemetery…

Grabbed some food and I found this awesome cowboy hat to hide my bad hair days with 🙂

There is a bar called La Cueva – the Cave. It feels like you are in a cave made of trees. Grabbed some cocktails and in the end we ended up eating there too. Got a new cute kitty-buddy that I shared my meal (not cocktails) with. I know a lot of people think you shouldn’t feed dogs or cats in a restaurant, but I do because I just can’t resist them 🙂

Next day Ximena came down and we got some work done. First, test the lighting, and then action..

Lot of swimwear. I love working outdoors!

How awesome is this t-shirt?

Dayana came down and joined us. We headed for a late lunch at La Veladora. They have a pool area for hotel guests, good food and it’s very relaxing there…

There’s some great sculptures, and I tried to imitate one of them. Pretty accurate or what do you think?

Had time to chill for like 10 min and switch outfits, then we stopped by La Cueva again for pre-dinner drinks.

Dinner was at the Amomoxtli hotel. Been there before and it was great then. Now it was just meeh. Not very good service, but my Piña Colada was very good 🙂

Passed a local bar on the way back and decided to make a pit stop. It was packed with locals and you could order 1 liter beers and blue Smurf drinks hahahaa… Settled for some beers and Tequila shots.

When we arrived home we had these horses outside our place. Not sure if they were wild, but they were just strolling the streets…

Back home we felt like an after party. Unfortunately no one brought a speaker, but a coffee pot did a decent job 🙂

Next morning we walked to Cafe de la Milpa. It’s an amazing farm to table restaurant. You sit outdoors and they have a community garden there. I can imagine myself living like this in a few years with all my rescued animals 🙂

We worked on our tans by the pool for a bit before checking out. Then we headed to the main street in town. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars…

Or you can buy yourself some scorpion infused Tequila…

I wanted to do this hike up the mountain Al Tepozteco at the end of the main street, but there just wasn’t any time. Or energy I might add… There are some old pyramids up at the top and it’s supposed to be very cool. Next time…

Grabbed some lunch and I’m showing off my beautiful new bag I got from Dayana. And my Pussitive hat 🙂

The restaurant had the best painting so I thought I might as well imitate that one as well 🙂

I also got this mug after we finished the drink in it 🙂 I think the chicas on mug look like me & Dayana. Chicas Borrachas means Drunk Girls hahahaaa…

Found some leftover pics. All together it was a great little trip and it’s only about 1,5h from Mexico City so definitely go if you can 🙂

Best part about coming home is Hunter of course. He doesn’t think I need to work when I’m back so he plants himself on the computer, or just stares at me until I either feed him or go and take a nap with him 🙂

I went to a great event this weekend and went eating Colombian food and shopping with Dayana yesterday. I will make another post about it. Heading to a camera store now to look at cameras 🙂

Catch you later!

Friends, Shooting, School…

It’s been a fun-filled and productive week. Walking in Mexico City you always discover new places. I walked on this street before, but now I spotted a photography school. I visited them and found out that all of the scheduled courses are in Spanish; no bueno for me. They also offer tailored private classes in English, so long story short, I’m looking for a camera unless I can get the one repaired that I have. I want to take classes in lighting first and learn Lightroom. Very excited about this!

En route there, I found this amazing seafood restaurant. Not very healthy, but anything fried pretty much makes love to my tastebuds hahhaaaa….

On Tuesday I had lunch with Dayana and another friend named Camile. They laughed when I suggested lunch at noon. Latinos don’t eat lunch until later, so we planned for 1.30pm. European as I am, I was obviously on time. Both Dayana and Camile (they’re Colombians) showed up 30 minutes late. It’s not even rude here, it’s just the norm. Sometimes people ask if the time is “Mexican time”, meaning that everyone show up about an hour late. We went to one of my favorite restaurants here – Estiatorio Nostos.

They have really good seafood and I had the responsibility of finding the right fish for us!

Lunch became drinks at some bar, and whoever came up with this bird-drink-glass, where you insert the straw up it’s a*s, must be someone with a great sense humor!

Couldn’t do an all-nighter, because I rented a location for the next days shoot.

Hit the gym 3 times last week. 2 classes on Thursday and after that I needed a caffeine fix after to make it home!

A friend’s girlfriend was having her birthday, so I joined in for a drink before they headed to dinner. I prefer wearing my onesie over anything, so as I soon as I come home, I switch. I think I spend about 50% of my time in it LOL…

I met a girl here through another friend who’s a filmmaker. We’re planning to do an experimental film, and it’s going to be shot on VHS to get the old grainy feel to it. Unfortunately her camera decided to not work when we were going to shoot, so now we are waiting for her to find another ancient camera 🙂

Another friend is visiting Mexico City right now, and we had a nice group that went out for dinner. Only managed to snap myself in the mirror as I came back from smoking.

After, there was some birthday dinner venue we popped in on. Weirdest place. It’s about 01.30am here, bright lights on, no music, and the place was packed. Felt more like a school cafeteria. Like why not dim the lights a bit and have some music? Strange, but fun…

I also talked to Troy in Jamaica. I want to put together a mushroom retreat in May. It was such an amazing experience there and I want everyone who’s interested to get to experience it too. I will have more info and dates in a week or two 🙂 That being said, I leave you with a selfie and Hunter hard at work with me 🙂

Have a fabulous Sunday and upcoming week!

1st week done…

How’s your first week of 2024 been? For me it’s been pretty chill. Trying to not procrastinate on things that need to be done, getting my ass to the gym, and work. Also enjoying the perfect temperatures here in Mexico City…

New Years Eve was great and managed to not go too loca 🙂 The theme of the party was Intergalactic cowboys/cowgirls and there were a lot of games, dancing & booze. Someone had chocolate shrooms and I thought it was a brilliant idea to chug down a big piece at 2am. It kicked in when I got home and was trying to go to sleep hahhaaaa…

There’s a tradition here that you count down from 12 to the New Year at midnight. At the same time you are supposed to eat a grape for each month and make a wish. I tried to manage the 12 grapes and almost choked lol…

As always it’s hard to get your body moving again. At the same time it felt great to sweat, lift and push myself again!

Put on my suit and got back to work…

Kaptain Psychonaut ready for the world!

Hunter is taking this first week like he takes every other week – easy peasy 🙂

And just me out and about…

Almost forgot, watched 2 great movies this week. First one is a Finnish movie called ‘Sisu’.

“During the last days of World War II, a solitary prospector crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the soldiers decide to steal his gold, they quickly discover they just tangled with no ordinary miner.” Very good and bloody!

The 2nd movie was ‘Saltburn’. ‘Distraught by his classmate Oliver’s unfortunate living situation, Felix, a rich student, invites him over to his estate. Soon, a series of horrifying events engulf Felix’s family.’ Reminded me a bit of ‘Talented Mr Ripley’. Very good too.

Let me know if you have any great movie recommendations. That’s it. Got nothing special planned for this week. Plan to work, hit the gym and that’s it pretty much.

Catch ya’ next week… /Puma
