SLC – Puma Swede Blog

This week’s focus was on cars. Went to the dealership because I wanted to test drive a Range Rover. People usually say to stay away from them, but I’ve had 3 of them before. I had some time and walked around the lot and saw an Audi and a Tesla. The Audi was a more fun to drive than the Tesla. Long story short, the Tesla was locked in Valet Mode so I couldn’t test the sports mode on it which might explain why it felt boring. I decided that I’m going to go with the Audi. Wanted to do part cash and part financing. Big problem when you haven’t lived in the country for years and have no permanent address, utility bills, etc to prove that you actually live somewhere. They are trying to work around the issue and I’ll find out tomorrow so cross your fingers 🙂

The Tesla did have one feature I did like…

I really enjoy the Xcel gym. I had to check my booty in the mirror if I actually made some gains. But it looked pretty worthless like always hahahaaa….

On Thursday I went for another dinner with strangers. Very fun people and one girl is hopefully connecting me with some photographers in the area. Another girl gave me a suggestion on a plastic surgery place that specializes on eyes so I setup an appointment for tomorrow 🙂

Threw in some work too…

I wanted to do an overnight hike this weekend, but didn’t have time to plan it 🙁 I did a great hike yesterday anyways. The nature here is amazing!

Last night we went for dinner & drinks. We all liked it so much I only managed to get a pic of one of the starters hahahaa… The table behind us was celebrating a birthday and the birthday cake was so cool that I sneakily took a pic of it… The place is called Urban Hill in downtown SLC if anyone is in the hood and hungry! We found a bar that has drag shows on one floor and a silent disco in the basement. I never tried silent disco, but I think I’d love it so will hopefully make it to this place another night 🙂

When I was outside grabbing a smoke I saw that the hills were on fire!

Hunter says hi to you all 🙂

I hope to sort the car out tomorrow. I’m borrowing a car now, but the AC doesn’t work and it gets a liiiiitle too hot here sometimes to not have it. I also found out that a friend from a long time ago is coming to Vegas next week. I hope to fly out and see her and shoot some content together 🙂 I also tried playing pickel ball for the first time this week and it was fun. Hopefully we play tonight! Eye consultation tomorrow and maybe another dinner with strangers… How about you?

I’ll leave you with this huge bug I found and me enjoying the morning sun. Wishing you a great upcoming week 🙂

Been in Salt Lake City in Utah for exactly a week now. I spent a month and a half here last year around the same time and I love it. There’s a crazy heatwave here right now and it’s so hot.

One of my favorite places here is the gym. It’s huge and they have any piece of equipment you’re looking for. Or not looking for… I think this is the gym with the fittest people I’ve ever seen. Very motivating working out being surrounded by massive muscles and 6-packs hahahaaaa… Checking my gains!

My hair needed maintenance badly. Luckily while trying out a new coffee shop, I saw there was a hair salon upstairs in the building. What are the odds that it would be a great salon I thought. Well, after some Googling and reading reviews, I found out it’s rated as one of the best salons in SLC. And even more amazing was that they had a cancellation the next day and I got it! My plan was to just fix the roots, but as usual I got carried away…

What do you think? I love it! If you’re in SLC and need to fix your mane – Tallulah East Collective is the place!

Obviously I needed to capture some pics and video the next day. Nothing better than when the professionals fix your hair and it’s maintenance free for a couple of days. Better take advantage of that…

Also about 25min outside of town, there is this great farm where you can buy great meats, eggs, and raw milk. It’s called Utah Natural Meat & Milk. I like my meat grass-fed and hormone free! Best part was to say hi to the horses on the farm!

What I love the most here is the nature. There’s hikes everywhere and you don’t have to drive far to find a trailhead. Yesterday we hiked to Blood Lake and continued to Lake Lackawaxen. Pretty cool that there’s still snow up in the mountains. It’s a nice and easy trail but some annoying mosquitos around the lakes 🙂

There are so many great coffee shops here. Right now I’m sitting writing to you at The Honeysuckle Coffee Co. Their coffee is the bomb and they bake their own pastries which I can’t resist!

Oh, and if there’s any daddies out there – Happy Fathers Day to you! I’ll keep working for a bit more and I’m thinking about going to buy a Kindle. I love physical books, but with all the moving around, I hate leaving them behind.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and I’m going to leave you with the link to one of the best newsletters I subscribe to – https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1. His name is James Clear and he’s written the popular book ‘Atomic Habits’. I haven’t read his book yet, but I love his newsletters.

All the best, Puma
