I usually don’t like too much of routines in my life. A little bit of planning and keeping deadlines is good, but I would hate my job to be a routine. I’d quit making movies and shooting content if it felt like I did it out of a routine. After all the feasting during Christmas now, I do feel like I want some of my habits back. Like training and eating healthy to start with! My sister, the paparazzi, snapped me buying ‘lösgodis’ yesterday. Been eating candy like my life depended on it hahahaaaa…
Did some shopping too and so good of the city to roll out the red carpet for me!
Got my sister to braid my hair too. I like it like this, but me making a braid is like a guy trying to paint nail polish… (yes, I once asked a guy to paint mine and half my fingers were pink)
And just because I also miss the Puerto Rican sun, here’s some sunny pics from a shoot I did in LA 🙂
Lat weekend in Sweden. Trying to not over do it hhahahaaaa…
How’s your Xmas celebrations going? In Sweden we celebrated yesterday and mom gave us so much food I passed out after dinner! Yes, wearing sweatpants that stretch so I could eat more!
Watched movies, ate some more and that’s about it. This morning coffee in mom’s Finland-mug and a ham sandwich with mustard. Classic!
Today was not much different and I nursed my food-baby hahahaaa…
So tired of Xmas foods now so drank some bubbly stuff and went out for dinner with my sister and nephew…
I’m not much for decorations, but I surprised my sister with this today hahhaaaa… She just rolled her eyes, she’s used to this type of stuff by now 🙂
It’s busy days here in Sweden. Trying to see and hang with my friends, family, throw in a party (or five), recover and obviously having a “fika”. Fika is in Swedish having a coffee. And maybe some bakery thingy too unless your worrying about 1000 carbs and your beach body 2020 😉
After a mellow dinner with relatives on Friday, I headed out for some wine with my friend Anton. A little wine quickly ended up popping some sparkling stuff and the party was on. Tried making new friends, but this guy was a bit stiff…
Went to a gay bar and then to Backdoor which is an awesome gay club in Stockholm. Sooo much fun and great music. I did an impromptu guest appearance on the bar topless and later arrived home missing my jacket and my Swedish phone – oooops! Shit happens, but a party is a party!
There is a legendary cafe in Stockholm. It was called Lisa’s Cafe for about 30 years. Now Lisa’s son Nicklas has opened it at a new location and it’s called Lisa’s Grabb. As in Lisa’s Son in English. They had some Christmas celebration on Saturday and today I went back for more “fika”. Everything is homemade, no fancy cappuccinos, just simple and so tasty! Don’t miss this spot if you visit Stockholm.
I hope you all will be spending Xmas with loved ones! My family are skipping Xmas gifs cause no one needs anything and it’s like exchanging money. Instead we’ll be at my mom’s eating too much Finnish foods, wearing sweatpants and maybe have a snaps or two! I’ll try to put some of my celebration on my IG stories – @thepumaswede.
…subject of surgeries, let me admit to other fixes as well. I have written before that I don’t plan to age gracefully! I love Botox, fillers and treatments. I think it’s also a bit addicting since I’m often in front of the camera. Makes me discover new dents, wrinkles, sun spots etc on my face more often that I wish hahahaaaa… Soooo, when I come to Sweden I go fix this.
On Wednesday I tried threads in my face for the first time. Felt like the corners of my mouth are hanging down. I was so nervous cause a friend of mine has done it and said it hurts like hell. First of all I hate needles and I don’t handle pain very well. Hadde the doctor, said that I don’t have a lot of fat in my face so it will probably hurt more. Well, I finally told him to just fix me up. He went in with 2 loooooong needles by my ear. A thin thread like a fishing line with small knots on it is pulled through. The thread then is pulled through and I could feel the knots go through my face-meat UGH! Pulled through and pulled up. I did survive and it wasn’t that painful after all. Happy with the results and topped it all off with some Botox 🙂
Look closely and you can see the threads coming out under my mouth. And here’s a picture of the needles and thread. If you’re in Sweden, I can recommend Doktor K for these type of treatments. They’re awesome!
Strict orders on not to open my mouth too wide for 3-4 weeks hahhaaaa… Suuuure! Anyways, I’ll try to behave for a couple of weeks!
Anyway, like my new t-shirt?
My shoot on Wednesday was a lot of fun. Will get some pics later and show you. But a couple of selfies though…
Now off to see my cousin and then I think I’ll go have some wine with a couple of cute gayboys. Puma & the twinks we call ourselves LOL…
Later I had some amazing wild boar for dinner. Never tasted boar before. I like the fact that they been running around in the wild and not been bred for food in captivity! Skipped the Christmas food buffet they had. Somehow I know there will be a lot more of Christmas food coming before I’m done in Sweden!
Barely any guests at the hotel so it was very peaceful there. The breakfast buffet was tasty and I was the only one there at 7am.
Took the opportunity to shoot some content there too before checking out. Never miss an opportunity to create things others will enjoy heheheee…
Straight back to the city and met up with my friend Mark Levengood and Anton. Mark is one of the most beloved people in Sweden. I love his office with all kinds of weird and fun stuff. A lot of stories, laughter and pictures!
Then I met up with a photographer I never shot with. We wanted to see if we can come up with some cool stuff to shoot. Said and done and one latte later we decided we’ll shoot tomorrow. I think it will be different and not my usual nudes or selfies 🙂
Still a bit jetlag and hope to get a good nights sleep. Don’t want to show up looking like a zombie for the shoot tomorrow!
Barely had time to recover from St Barts. Just empty my suitcase from summer clothes and repack it with sweaters and jackets for Sweden. Flew Norwegian and had a layover in Oslo. I really like their airport. Very modern and a lot of fresh options for food. I opted for the biggest latte I could get my hands on and it was probably the best airport latte I ever had! The place is called Haven if you happen to be at Oslo airport, and want a great latte!
I’ve already been told that the weather in Sweden wasn’t the best. But stepping out in this grey, cold and rainy weather made me want to take the next flight back to Puerto Rico hahhaaaaa…
But what do we Swede’s do to cheer up? We party! Took a shower, painted my face and a couple hours later I met up with Katrin. She’s one of the best party-partners one can have! Started with dinner at Bank Hotel – I recommend it! Oh, also recommend an Espresso Martini. Then hit various establishments until we had enough hahahaaa…
It was a bit tough start the next day with barely no sleep and jetlag. Perfect to head home to mom and let her feed me 🙂 And take a nap on her couch!
Then pulled myself together and my sister made some Finnish/Swedish Xmas foods and more friends came over.
Not sure if it was the foods or Snaps that made us look like this… I’m happy to have friends who don’t hold back!
Finished 2 great books. The first one a big heavy one – “The Border” by Don Winslow. Exciting, but a lot of people to keep track of. Main character Art Keller is an old school guy fighting the Mexican drug cartel. Violence, torture, young guys with drug money, American politicians, and the police makes good action. I haven’t read the 2 previous books in this series, but I don’t feel you need to. In the video I also recommend another awesome book by Winslow – ‘The Winter of Frankie Machine’ – so good!
Also finished the book – ‘The Girl who Lived Twice’ by David Lagercrantz. I love the Millennium series, and this is the 6th and final book. I read them all and I think the first books are more exciting. Still worth a read!
…days left in Puerto Rico before a trip next week, and then off to Sweden for Christmas. I wanted to finish a lot of stuff, but instead I got overwhelmed and decided it’s a good idea to go and drink coffee while making a plan. That led to me not getting as much done as I wanted, and and then I was pissed. Luckily nothing is too urgent, and the world will keep spinning tomorrow even if I continue drinking my coffee and planning hahahaaa…
I saw a doctor finally about my spider veins and he injected them. I really hope it works because they bug me! Final results will show in about a month he said.
Shot a bunch of stuff too. Content is king they say, but I say I’m queen 🙂
Got a couple of pics from my shoot in Phoenix too. Love the way they turned out and I think this is a pretty perfect “LBD – Little Black Dress”.
Joined another gym and trying it out. Making some progress on my pull ups…
This pic is an inside joke. If you watched Game Of Thrones and remember when Theon Greyjoy got his dick chopped off? In the next shot Ramsey is eating, and you are made to believe it’s the chopped off wiener. Found this Italian sausage and made me think of the scene…
So, Thanksgiving tomorrow. What’s your plans? I’m going to a friends house for potluck 🙂
I was dog-sitting Nina from Friday night to Saturday. Because she is so little, round and adorable, I let her sleep in bed with me. This is the face I woke up next to 🙂
Before Masha the Russian took off on Friday we had dinner and wine. We stopped by Walmart because I needed cleaning supplies, and instead I ended up getting pregnant 😉 Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor at times…
On Saturday morning we went to a beach I’ve never been to – Vacia Talega. So nice and barely any people there! And the water here is still warm like a bath.
Stopped for some pinchos & fresh cevice on the way home! Yum yum… I intended to take a picture of the feast, but we were so hungry I forgot about it!
That’s pretty much all I managed for my Saturday except for a nap, reading, and 3 episodes of Game of Thrones. Yes, I’m probably one of the last ones to watch it. I loved the books and still waiting for the 2 last books to be finished!
The week in LA passed by waaay too fast! I think I opened my computer twice when I was there, and the rest of the time we were on the go!
I took an Uber straight from the airport to meet up with Sandy for lunch at Erewhon. When we were leaving I couldn’t help myself, and just had to snap a pic of this dog taking care of his business. Did the woman pick it up after? Fuck no…
I had to do some shopping for outfits and toys for shoots. We are still wondering what this mini-penis is used for???
We made it down to OC too to see our friend Cindy. Always gorgeous and it was great to catch up with her!
Shot some cool stuff too, and it helps when your best friend is an awesome make up artist and glams you up! Thank you Sandy!
Oh, and the kids were pretty much constant companions from the moment we got back to the house. We were drawing, doing make up, dressing up, and then there were various made up games that I just went along with it hahahaaa… I think here we’re drawing kitty-town!
What do you do in LA on a weekend? Party! We did dinner and drinks, popped by 1Oak, and then we went to Raspoutine. I can say it’s the best club and music I’vev been to in a while, and I could’ve been dancing till 6am if they didn’t close at 2am!
No time to sleep in (or be hungover) when kids march right over you at 8am bringing balloons, and apparently it was picnic time in my bed right then!
I also made it to Phoenix, AZ to shoot a whole day with @dezertimagez. A lot of bikinis and skimpy outfits. Just my style 🙂
A couple of times I went to set with Sandy when she was doing make-up. I was obviously very helpful when not napping hahahaaa…
Somewhere in there I managed to squeeze in a mani-pedi, spotted this cool cat, went to a kids birthday party and got a dick-looking-balloon, saw 2 cool Porsches ( I want a GT3 by the way), and I even took pics of flowers like a grandma hahahhaaa…
I think that covered pretty much everything. I will give you a couple of my favorite spots in LA next. Also read a couple of great books, but now I need a latte and later I hope for wine with the Russian 🙂
