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!

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

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

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!

3 weeks…

…into 2021. How’s it going? I’ve kept being very productive which I’m happy about. I also made a resolution to try new spots here in Puerto Rico. So far I’ve tried 2 new restaurants, 1 new bar, and finally went to the Puerto Rican Art Museum.

The Art Museum is really close and so cool. Can’t believe I haven’t made it there before. So worth a visit if you’re in town!

Pretty cool to see this Miss Universe thing at the Museum as well. I loved watching Miss Universe as a kid. I even had some thoughts that I might win the crown myself one day. Always dream big hahhaaaaa… According to the note here, Puerto Rico has had 4 Miss Universe titles. I just Googled it too and PR has actually won 5 titles! “The Miss Universe pageant began in 1952 and since then Puerto Rico has had 21 representatives classify in the finals, including 5 winners, 8 runners-up, 6 finalists and 2 semi-finalists. With 5 wins, Puerto Rico is the third country with the most wins behind USA (8 wins) and Venezuela (7 wins)”

A lot of shooting! Found an amazing photographer to shoot some Pussitive stuff. Waiting to get more pics, but here’s a couple.

Too bad there’s not always a pro photographer around. Sometimes you just have to do with yourself and a self timer! (And a couple of filters…)

And then there are the pics with less clothing and more “action”…

Still working out in the park. It’s going to be hard to go back to working out indoors. But when it gets hotter it will be nice when they blast that AC! Masha the Russian is a yoga pro and I try my best to even reach my big toe!

One of my favorite things here in Puerto Rico is all the animals you see out. On our street there is a cat lady. She has about 15 cats. They are always peeking down at you. The lady always explains to me which cat is mom to who, which ones are brothers etc… My favorite is this white one. Pretty sure it’s a mom… Or a sister… Or is this one a male?

And our next door neighbor has a cat too now. His name is Caramelo.

Took a new found friend on the walk around the fort the other day. There were so many iguanas! Never seen so many in one day. Obviously I tried to make them come to me and just as obviously they didn’t give a shit about me!

As much as I love animals, I wasn’t impressed finding this one in the bathroom one night! I never seen a spider this big here in Puerto Rico! Saw them in Bali, but didn’t know there are spiders like this one here.

My new found friend, Annie, took me to a bar I’ve never been to after our walk around the fort. It’s in Old San Juan and called The Canon Club. Really cool place and the drinks were great! There’s canons, parrots, a pool and they sometimes have bands playing there. Actually went there last night too because it’s just that great of a place 🙂

Me before The Canon Club and all the drinks… I could still stand and sit straight LMAO 😉

This is my shoe after last nigh…

Always reading and finished A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. This is an amazing book! One of the best/well written books I ever read. It just makes you feel so good! Read it!

What else? Oh, went to the tailor who helps me with the Pussitive clothing. Our communication is pretty limited because his English and my Spanish aren’t great. But we manage and I understood when he offered me a shot of these homemade Dominican specialties. I chose the one with bark inside and my throat burned the whole walk home. Need to get a bottle hahhaaaaa…

That’s about it. Taking and making a mini vacation next week. Trying out a nice hotel and (road) tripping a bit 🙂

All the best, Puma

Happy New Year :)

How has 2021 started out for you? I hope you’re off to a flying start 🙂 I’m very happy to be back in PR after Sweden. Warm weather (perfect temperature right now), sun and it doesn’t get pitch black at 3pm! The first thing I did when I got back was going to the beach and swimming in the ocean!

My New Years Eve was very chill with a touch of jetlag. Took a walk around the lagoon first. I guess wind was blowing 2020 out of the way…

Spotted this amazing iguana eating something…. It’s on my bucket-list to befriend one of these and feed it!

Had to take a nap in the middle of the day so I wouldn’t feel like a granny and pass out before midnight hahhaaaa… My friend Sandy posted this one on IG and it’s too accurate!

Cooked lobster and gambas for dinner. It was soooo good and I think I’ll splurge on a lobster more often from now on 🙂

So all in all, life is muy bueno in Puerto Rico 🙂 But Christmas in Sweden was great too! Except for the grey and rainy weather and it getting dark at 3pm. One of my favorite spots when in Sweden, is a cafe called Lisas Grabb. Everything is baked fresh in the morning and the saffron ‘semlas’ are the best! Linda and I literally stuffed our faces!

Loved spending time with my sister!

We didn’t just drink and look alike. We also worked hard on Pussitive (IG @pussitive_). We did a photoshoot with this great Swedish guy, Peter Englund. He is very creative and makes clothes himself, so it was like playing around in a grown-ups playhouse. A couple samples of our stuff…

And I played around in some of the gowns Peter has created too.. wow! Just need to get invited to a premier now!

On the 25th we finally got snow in Stockholm! We had decided to take a walk and burn off a couple of calories after devouring all the Xmas foods. Love when it snows like this! Even though I could barely see hahahaaa…

When in Sweden I usually give my wrinkles a fight too. Get in my face Botox!

Put some curlers in one night in case I got invited out. But no one called so stayed home with curls…

Finished a couple of books too during the holidays. First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. 1st book was just OK, but got more exciting in the end. Book 2 & 3, very good. If anyone else read these, did you notice that there were a lot of people being chopped in half from their head down to their waist? Pretty gory at times, but I tend to like that 🙂 Can recommend these…

Bought Kepler’s ‘Spegelmannen’ in Sweden. They usually appear in English too. Very exciting crime/thriller/suspense books and I read all of their books. It’s a couple who writes them together…

That’s it for now. This week I will be caching up on my shoots, working on Pussitive, get back to working out, ugh… I’m already in pain after one workout in the park on Monday hahhaaaa.

Laters, Puma Swede

Last day…

…before Christmas Eve. I’m in Sweden now and we expect Santa Claus to show up tomorrow, the 24th! Since it’s a well known fact that Santa is from Korvatunturi in Finland, he probably handles the Nordic countries before he deals with the rest of the world 😉 OK, before I jump to Christmas, I’ll share some Puerto Rican happening first… I just haven’t had the time between Tulum and Sweden.

We were all very grateful for good health and delicious food on Thanksgiving. Oh, it was nice to dress up a little too and be a bit fancy-pants for once. We ate at the restaurant 1919 at Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. One of my favorite meals is always a beef tartar and this one was superb! Sat outside after taking in the views of the ocean and big waves.

Since the gyms in PR now only are allowed to run at a 30% capacity, we taken to work out in the park. It’s sunny pretty much 360 days of the year in PR, you always get to work on your gains (and tan) in the sun. I also enjoy the big lizards that come really close to inspect on you.

By chance I also came across a yoga studio. I really liked when we did yoga in Mexico and I am always in the need of more mobility and stretching. A very chill place with great people. In some places people are so advanced, standing on their heads and shit, I feel like I’m there by a mistake. This place suits me perfect as it mostly pretty basic yoga moves and no one asks me to stand on my head!

Rented paddled boards one day too and went out on the lagoon. I love the Puerto Ricans who strap coolers and containers on their boards and then have a picnic on the water. One day I will try this out with a pizza and a couple of local Medalla beers! A couple will be enough or I’ll fall off the board 🙂

Of course there’s not a week without me creating content.

Sometimes I’m bad at exploring the places closest to me. Always think I have to cross the globe to find something new and exciting. Took a walk and never knew there was a beautiful walkway around the fort in Old San Juan. WOW. The best part is that there are so many cats there. A local cat sanctuary feeds them here and some of them are super friendly and come up to you. I wish I could take them all home with me!

Since I was in this exploring mood, we also tried a new restaurant close to us where we’ve never been. It’s called Jungle Bird and it’s this funky little place. They always update their menu, hence the menu written on boards they bring to you. Same with the drinks, so you most likely get to try something new if you go back. I definitely will 🙂

Couple of more selfies. Can’t waste the opportunity when you got your face paint on 🙂

It’s been busy days here in Sweden. Shooting for the new project which we plan to launch fully in January. More info coming, but please follow us on Instagram ~ @pussitive_

Will try to squeeze in one more post before 2020 ends. I had a week in LA before Sweden, some Christmas pics and probably some other randomness 🙂 Now off to get in Xmas spirit 🙂

Wish you all the very best! Stay naughty cause it’s so much more fun 😉

Kisses, Puma
