Started the week…

…off strong, got sick in the middle of the week, but redeemed myself with Mezcal and cocktails last night. Slight headache this morning, but nothing that a couple of Ibuprofen and coffee couldn’t fix 🙂

Tried an amazing sushi restaurant called Sushi Kyo. A small place with limited seating around the bar where you watch the chef prepare your sushi. Sooo good and the bottle of sake was a perfect match 🙂

Added this place to my list of places where I want to eat – Boca llena Nasty Waffles! Right up my alley LOL…

Got some pics & video done before I called in sick…

Laid in bed for 3 days pretty much feeling sorry for myself. Only good thing is that I read 2 awesome books! Finished ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ by Hunter S. Thompson and damn it’s great! One of my all-time favorites. I love this book and laughed so hard while reading it. I highly recommend it.

Also read ‘Anxious People’ by Fredrik Backman. A clever book, funny and with great characters. A book that made me feel good while reading it. Can recommend it. (I have also read ‘Beartown’ by Fredrik and think it was even better than ‘Anxious People’.)

Yesterday I finally felt better wohoooo! Always makes me realize how important health is! Tried a new restaurant we’ve been wanting to go to last night – Lorea. Had the tasting menu, muy bueno, Mezcal tasting, and to top things off – a cocktail tasting. Very good all of it!

Look forward to getting back to the gym tomorrow. Also I’m switching apartments tomorrow. Same building, different floor. I’ll finish off with 2 cars I felt were very much my style 🙂

Wish you all a great week to come!

3 weeks…

…left in Mexico and trying to squeeze in as much as I can. Right when I feel like I’m getting a bit of a grip on the city, I walk and find new streets, restaurants, stores and cafes. Also accidentally found a crossfit gym only 5min from where we stay. Much more convenient having the gym around the corner, and this one is really nice. Pics from the last gym with Kira representing my t-shirt 🙂

Visited an art museum – Museo Jumex. Pretty cool stuff, but I think the museum next door (the cool building) will be better. On my to-visit-list….

While strolling the other day I saw this. The cat looked totally satisfied being carried around in this bubble hahahaaa…

Found a new hike for this weekend. It said online it would be hard. It was steep and when we were already tired from climbing uphill, we were told it was an other 3h to the top. Got huge fomo and will have to go back at some point to make it to the top. Still great views where we stopped for a break (smoke break for me) and turned around and stumbled downhill 🙂

Oh, this hang bridge could maybe use some looking over hahahaaa…

And I almost stepped on a snake. I like snakes by the way…

You have to balance a healthy life style with some cocktails every now and then in my opinion 🙂 A hidden great bar with great drinks. I highly recommend this place if in CDMX – Xaman.

Between excursions, gym, and drinking I was being my sleazy self 🙂 Can’t really call it work since it’s too much fun 🙂

I also finished the book ‘Mystic River’ by Dennis Lehane. Wow, highly recommend you to read this! Even if you have seen the movie which is also great! Went to a cool bookstore here and picked up ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ by Hunter S. Thompson. I can’t put the book down, it’s hilarious! I’m laughing so much when reading it, and I think it will be one of my favorite books of all time! Why show my bra? Good question… Sometimes I just get a feeling…

Going to do some Spanish homework now so I can impress Eliana on Wednesday. Hardly true, but hey, one can always try…

Have an amazing week you all!

Kisses, Puma

Volcano, twerk, dogs etc…

The highlight of the past week was a road trip to the Popocatepetl volcano, the second highest volcano in Mexico. We had booked a rental car, but that was cancelled a couple of hours before our trip. Apparently there were no cars available. Someone told us this happens a lot, even if you have a booking with confirmation. No worries though, jumped in Uber and 2 hours later we got to the town Amecameca.

Some of us taking the chance to nap on the way there 🙂 Obviously I capture and post that!

Dinner in town with dogs as companions. I always sneak them some food 🙂

Next morning we started early. Town was almost deserted…

After some negotiation with local taxis and drivers we got a deal to go up to the park by the volcano. Perfect weather and clear views. Many trails to choose from and only a small fee to enter the park and hike.

The altitude made it a bit exhausting, even though it wasn’t that hard of a hike. We loved it!

It’s a small town and we hadn’t booked a ride back, so took some time to find an Uber to take us back to Mexico City. Perfect 24h excursion! Hope to do some more hikes while here.

Now taking Spanish lessons from Eliana. Is it really harder to learn when you get older? I feel sorry for Eliana who has to repeat the same stuff like 10 times and next day I ask her again how I say something… And all the conjugations, female and male stuff, puh…

Also reading, Mystic River by Dennis Lehane. I love the movie and the book is really great.

Discovering more coffee places in the city and stumble on random stuff while out walking. Like this ‘shroom’ inspired art installation 🙂

Another class of pole dancing and twerking. Watch the video of the teacher – WOW! I wish I could twerk half as good!

https://videopress.com/v/2HOs9q6G?preloadContent=metadata

You didn’t think I didn’t work did you?

That’s it for last week. Tonight meeting with a seamstress here to hopefully create more Pussitive outfits 🙂 Twerk class tomorrow and then we’ll see what the rest of the week brings along 🙂

All the best from me to you!

Kisses, Puma

Going good…

Another week in CDMX has passed. It feels like time flies here. Trying to find a good balance between working, exploring, training, and trying all the coffee shops 🙂 Best part is that most coffee shops are setup with free wifi and places to work, so you get the best combo of caffeine and work!

This weekend we took an Uber to Coyoacan. It’s a historic center and a popular place for locals during the weekend. Of course there were weekend markets and I love going through them with all the different stuff they sell.

I also love visiting churches. Not for any religious reason, but just often find them very impressive inside. Sometimes it’s nice to sit and experience the silence inside. This one had a wedding going on 🙂

In Polanco I found one of the coolest stores I ever visited – Xinu. They make soaps, lotions, and perfumes. They give you a tour when you get inside telling you about the scents. They’re all natural and they have displays with flowers, leafs, roots etc that were used… I bought a lotion and will go back and get a perfume too. They smell incredible and make sure to visit this store if you’re in CDMX!

Perfect when you have girlfriends with you and who are always ready to snap pics with no complaints 🙂 They don’t even react when I do a topless #tittytuesday pic in the middle of the city or get tempted by a gold statue hahahaaaa… That’s the type of friends I love!

Last week me & Kira decided to try a pole dancing and a twerk class. Wow, so much fun! I’ve never been any good with the pole and let’s not even talk about twerking! There was some impressive people dancing and twerking. My skills were pretty much non existent. But I’m not giving up. Going back to pole dance tonite and hope to get a twerk class later this week. I will teach my ass to move!

It was also Annie’s last week here last week. We pre-celebrated her birthday at a restaurant the night before they flew back home.

Not just running around celebrating and twerking. Photos & videos are being made 🙂

Eating a bit much pan & treats over here so it’s a good thing the gym is close by 🙂 Sometimes just using my fellow gym buddies as punching bags too 🙂

Some more random pics from a cool bar, guys trying to cook, nacho libre masks at an other bar and a car I would like to own.

Excited for an other productive (hopefully) week here. Will keep working on Pussitive and my Spanish 🙂

Hope you are doing great don’t forget…

Hugs, Puma

Continuous fun in CDMX

I love Mexico City! It just keeps staying amazing here, and I’ve only managed to cover 10% of everything I want to see and do 🙂

The highlight this week was visiting some markets yesterday. First there was the craft market. Countless skulls and other bits and pieces. Four of us did a challenge. Who could buy the best stuff in 20min with only 200 pesos? You can see it on my IG stories now – @thepumaswede.

Then we hit a food market. WOW! Never thought I’d try eating a scorpion, but I did! Crispy! Not so bad when you washed it down with Mezcal. Obviously had to convince Eliana to have one too, but she just ate it like it was a candy hahahaaa…

https://videopress.com/v/f0oVHKrX?preloadContent=metadata

I always dreamt about smashing a piñata so when I found them at the market I had to get one! Will fill it up and smash it! Dreams do come true hahahaaa…

I was also encouraged by Kira to make a dance video for her TikTok. I agreed and was soon reminded how bad my coordination skills are and that I posses no rhythm. But it’s a shame if you give up, and we decided that a great spot was in the middle of a crosswalk with The Angel of Independence in the background. Here you go!

https://videopress.com/v/OFD4zlnH?preloadContent=metadata

Then convinced Annie she needed to join in. Only one movement which was enough for my brain to remember and execute hahahhaaa…

https://videopress.com/v/ARhxTPKm?preloadContent=metadata

The Angel of Independence, this great pair of wings, and a couple of happy locals 🙂

My goal has been to go to the gym Mon – Fri. I managed 4 days this week. The face of struggle…. At least Rocco rewards with some ear licks after!

I’m not always consuming grasshoppers or cockroaches. Love the food here! There was a tortilla soup in the ceramic doll. Little unclear about what the pandas were up to…

This weeks non TikTok/IG content 🙂

Sitting at yet an other great cafe drinking great coffee and updating you guys on here. Now we’re a total of 9 people here so will send a message out and see if anyone wants to comer with me 🙂 Throwing the few Spanish words I know out there 🙂

Hasta luego!

Puma

Mexico!

Wow, wow, wow, very impressed with Mexico City. Been here just over a week and I’ve only explored about 5% of the areas, restaurants, cafes etc. Every day I mark a new location in my Google maps to see.

The food is amazing! Haven’t had a bad meal here, and I’ve ate things such as street tacos, high-end restaurants, hamburgers, steaks , Thai food, and sushi.

I have about 200 pics of food, but I’ll spare you of those. Just a couple of favorites 🙂

Oh, they suggest grasshoppers on the guacamole here. Not bad when they’re ground up like this…

After reading about grasshoppers and how healthy they are, I bought some from a guy on the street. Only thing was that these were the whole grasshopper in one piece! Didn’t stop me from having them on my eggs in the morning 🙂 Only dared to put on a few though hahahaaa…

I didn’t expect the city to have so many parks and nice walkways. Very enjoyable to walk around and there’s a lot of walking going on!

There’s a lot of dogs here! I love it! Puerto Rico is full of cats, but here everyone has a dog. And they’re welcome in almost everywhere. My favorite dog is Rocco at the CrossFit gym I joined. He just can’t get enough attention. He is very much like me LOL…

And coffee! Endless great coffee places. I have a few favorites and there still are great places I haven’t tried…

Just so many cool places you find when walking around. My favorite way to discover a new city is to walk the streets. Not many people here speak English. I make myself understood with Spanglish and thank heavens for Google translate hahahaaa! Will start my Spanish lessons when my friend from Colombia gets here next week.

Talking about friends, there’s a bunch of them here now and I didn’t even now they were coming. A couple from US/Russia and friends from Puerto Rico arrived the other day. 2 more join us from US/Colombia next week too! Part of the group went to Pujol to try their tasting menu yesterday. It’s supposed to be one of the best restaurants here. We were not that impressed though, even if it was very good. We had to grab food after because we were not full.

That’s it for now. Busy week ahead and more exploring to do, but will try to update again next weekend 🙂

All the best to you!

Here, there & everywhere…

Since I loved Royal Isabela so much, I booked a stay there again when checking out last time. They’re so booked, so you need to plan ahead if you want to stay here. So relaxing and didn’t do much else than relax, read and visit the beach. And snapped pictures…

As I wrote earlier, I have this goal for this year to explore new spots in Puerto Rico. Sometimes they are only a walking distance away. Like this cool art museum MADMI – Museo de Arte y Diseño de Miramar. A friend pointed it out while we were out walking. Can’t believe I never knew about it. It’s 1 minute away from the grocery store I visit every week. But hey, better late than never… They had a fashion exhibit now about a Puerto Rican designer Nono Maldonado.

Cool stuff, but I think our Pussitive clothing is a bit edgier, hahahaaa…. Look forward to go see other exhibits there.

Had enough of my dark roots and booked the first available appointment at the hair salon. Was a bit worried when it seemed that the guy doing my hair was a bit too hyper. He seemed to take notice of everything and everybody except my hair. When washing my hair he showered pretty much all of me and not just my scalp. But when he was done, I loved the results. Maybe he was one of the guys who actually can do more than one thing at once hahhaaaaa…

Our neighbors cat Caramelo, that I’m slightly obsessed with, has started coming over to our place to visit. I was doing a phone interview with Sweden last week when Caramelo walked in. I got som excited I had to tell the lady interviewing me to hold on. She wondered if I was OK? I told her the neighbors cat just walked in and that had priority over everything hahahaaa…

Talking about cats, how awesome are my cat panties?

When not wearing cat panties though…

Working on my dips and tan in the park.

Got some reading done too. This book “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann, was very good, sad and disturbing read.

Killers of the Flower Moon is a book about the Osage murders in Oklahoma. It tells stories of how these white settlers killed many members of the tribe for their oil wealth in the 1920s, and also details investigations into who was responsible.”

This book “When These Mountains Burn” by David Joy, was just mediocre in my opinion. The was some good parts, but it just wasn’t a page turner for me.

“Set in a small town in North Carolina, we meet Ray. He’s recently lost his wife and is dealing with his adult son who is a heroin addict. After being pushed to his limits, Ray devises a plan to rid his town of its head drug dealer.

This one “Blacktop Wasteland” by S. A. Cosby, was pretty good. A fast paste and exciting read.

“A husband, a father, a son, a business owner…And the best getaway driver east of the Mississippi.”

That’s it for now. On Monday I took a taxi at 03.15 am to the airport and flew to LA. Visiting Sandy and her family again. It’s a packed schedule as always. So much fun and tell you all about in my next post 🙂

Hugs, Puma

Some weeks are…

…just full of errands and appointments. When it comes to appointments, the only one I enjoy is a massage. I found this lady who massages and kind of puts a healing touch on you. Not sure how I feel about her chakra adjustments, but I let her have a go at it since I like relaxing there for 1.5h every week.

I also made an appointment at a gynecologist. Good to check the “equipment” and get the annual pap smear test for cervical cancer done. As I’m lying in the chair spreading my legs, the male gynecologist looks at me and says; -“I think I know you”… Well, turns out we used to go to the same Crossfit gym. It was a bit strange having a conversation about training while he’s digging between my legs and pointing at the ultrasound hahhaaaaa… I was just happy he didn’t find a baby in there 😉

He was also very pedagogical and even pulled out a vagina model explaining something that I don’t remember any more…

Also went to the dentist and he reported no issues – yay! Still dealing with the DMV and trying to renew my drivers license online, but hopefully I will get it sorted asap.

This week we also launched my new Puma Swede t-shirt line. I love them and there will be more girls and designs coming. If you want your own, visit https://dancebarnaby.com/

Content had to be created… People need to be satisfied 🙂

Hit the park for workouts. I also tried to adjust my eating habits. I think this is the first week in a veeeery long time I’ve gone without eating any chips. I LOVE CHIPS! Even held a bag in my hand in the store yesterday, and then repeated 5 times in my head – “put it back, put it back…” and I left the store without any chips! I just want to get over my habit of treating myself to an overdose of sugar & chips every weekend.

Called Baywatch and suggested they make a Puerto Rican version… Look, I’m ready!

Hope you are doing great wherever in the world you are 🙂

Hugs, Puma

Pussitive Clothing

I thought I’d give you an update how it’s going with our clothing line – Pussitive. 

I love being creative, and I have a need for a creative outlet where I get to use my hands. For the past year I’ve been buying clothes and pimping them out. Building them up with patches, feathers, bling, and paint. 

I get so excited over my own creativity and ideas. I think I’m like the next Jean Paul Gaultier, and see models on a catwalk wearing Pussitive, camera flashes going off, red carpet being rolled out… And then I have to bring myself back to earth. Sometimes I have to reassemble the patches, the colors don’t feel right… Doubt hits me – is it really that good? I go back to reworking it. Most of the time I go “wow”! Who wouldn’t want to wear this?  I know, I have the confidence of my friends 5 year old, who’s convinced she’s going to be a rockstar.

Through trial and error I’ve learned to stop being too cocky and cutting without measuring first. There are holes that have become too big, shirts too short, and me wondering why I cut something in the first place. Patience is not my strongest virtue! I’m getting better though.

Now I’m in the midst of creating a Shopify store. They always make it sound like you’ll have a website ready with just a couple of clicks. Yeah right… Links don’t work, the navigation is all wrong, pictures are the wrong size… But after getting frustrated and having a coffee, I have to admit that it’s mostly myself f*cking up. Hard to admit, as I wish I could blame Shopify for not making it user-friendly enough hahahaaaa…. It’s getting better each day, and I’m excited to share it when it’s ready. My goal is to have it ready this month, fingers crossed. I have to put it out there so I put some pressure on myself 🙂

I shot my friend Masha in a couple of pieces last week. So much fun being behind the camera, and Masha looked superb! If she doesn’t want to become a Doctor, I told her she should be a supermodel!

It’s also great to see the clothing on someone else. But when I don’t have Masha around, I make the best of it by myself 🙂

What you think? Much more to come, but please give feedback and make sure to follow us on IG @pussitive_.

Everything is possible if it’s Pussitive!

Exploring & Tasting PR

I’m continuing to explore Puerto Rico. On my wishlist has been staying at Royal Isabela hotel. I finally booked 2 nights there and all I can say… WOW! The hotel has 20 freestanding casitas and a private beach you can hike down to. My favorite thing to do was to wake up in the morning, sit in my private backyard, drink coffee, and watch the ocean.

On the second morning when tanning by the pool this lizard came strolling by. He drank out of the pool and then strutted along… Maybe my naked butt offended him hahahaaa…

The beach was a 10 minute hike down. It’s a 2 mile long beach and I never saw any other people there. This place is paradise on earth! There were enough Kodak photos ops of the ocean, waves, and palm trees for a lifetime. I tried creating Sports Illustrated photos while wrestling a giant palm leaf… Very fabulous if I may say so myself!

A couple of more pics. The restaurant at the hotel was pretty good too. Great views over the hotels’ golf course, and me throwing down some poses, nothing new there 🙂 Maybe just the new bikini which was probably more suitable to fit a Barbie than a human!

I liked it so much that when checking out, I asked for the next availability. They are very booked, but I got 2 nights in March!

After Isabela we drove down to Rincon. Booked a great Airbnb spot there. Rincon is a chill beach town and supposed to have great surfing if that’s what you’re in to. Found this little farm-to-table spot called Sana and the food was soooo good! I’d eat here every day if I could!

Checked out town at night. Tried a restaurant, but it just felt overrated and overpriced so not going to mention it.

In the morning this cat was peeking in to the airbnb apartment. Me running over instantly offering cuddles, but it mostly seemed to want food… Or maybe he just checked out the weirdo human posing in front of the mirror hahhaaaa….

A new taste experience last week was at a new restaurant that just opened up here in San Juan. Triple WOW on the experience! It’s called Orujo, Taller de Gastronomia. The chef comes out and welcomes you like you’re at home. There’s no menu and he doesn’t tell you how many dishes he’ll serve. Something between 14-20 he said. He told us the story about how he and his wife started serving food to friends first, and how they ended up here with this restaurant. All the dishes were incredible and I will definitely eat here again! My food photography is not the best so check out their IG @orujotaller to see all the cool stuff they make! There’s a pic of baby eels I thought was noodles, until the chef pointed out the ‘noodles’ had tiny eyes!

Read a great classic book and I can see why it’s a famous. “The Day of the Jackal” by Frederick Forsyth. Such an exciting read about how this man was planning to execute the president of France. The planning, details, police work, suspense… If you need a great and exciting book, this is it.

Talking about books. Not sure you know I wrote a book? “My Life as a Pornstar”. Great read if you ask me, hahahaaaa… You can get it on Amazon as a paperback or the Kindle version. I also now signed a deal for it to be released as an audiobook in Finnish too 🙂 Hello, Pulitzer prize anyone?

I have more pics and stuff to write about, but Masha the Russian just called and wants to go paddle-board and I need a tan so bye for now…

Hugs, Puma
