Here I am, listening to the August playlist while I write yet another life update. You can listen and read while you see some food pics and know a little bit more about my month. I usually love the playlists I curate for August and specially September. I gather the songs throughout July-August, and that means they are a bit more positive. I am very emotion centered and that reflects in my art, my work and my everyday life. This…
Last month was full of food events and I am grateful for that because I’ve been missing my food people. I leave the playlist bellow so you can listen while you read. The whole experience by Sílvia. The thing about eating food that you don’t cook is that, usually, restaurants and events center on flavour and pleasure and not always nutrition. I’ve been feeling my nutrients a bit on the low side, so I’ve tried to sneak in some fruit…
Hey there! How was your January? I bring you the playlist first because I feel like we already have our own little ritual of listening to the tunes while writing/reading my blog posts. My January has been full of joy for the most part, then it became melancholic again. One can’t always be positive, I guess it’s the ebb and flow of life. Emotions are changing constantly. I don’t force happiness because I love melancholy as much as I do…
Hey! Did you miss me? I surely did. I’ve been focusing in other projects but the other day I felt the urge to come back here. To write in English about life and food. But as always, tune in your spotify and listen to my January Playlist. It comes with oldies. I felt nostalgic. I decided to come back to this monthly summaries. More as a check up than anything else. I really don’t focus my life on food that…
It’s the first month of 2023 and even though I’m a very optimistic person, I can’t help but feeling the winter blues. January is a dark month, even if in Yule the light won over darkness and days are becoming longer. Darkness and cold, but specially damp weather make me feel lethargic and sad. I don’t talk too much about Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in here, although it’s a big passion of mine studying both. In Ayurveda, we…
In this post I’m going to dive a little deeper in topics that I’ve been reflecting for a while like individualism, celebrating and cultural appropriation. December is here and the only thing I can focus on is The Christmas Season. It’s everywhere. You know I’m all in for sustainability and don’t enjoy consumerism too much, but Christmas is supposed to be celebrated. No matter your religion. You don’t necessarily have to celebrate a Christian Christmas or any other religious holiday…
It seems like I keep postponing these posts even though they are the engine that make me keep going. But today, April 18th, I came to the public library. I took 10 different books to devour next month and sat with my computer and my April playlist to write. Time instantly stopped. And I feel free and happy. I’ve been busier than usual (I mean since 2020) It seems like we are all waking up from our…
Another month, another loss… Here’s the playlist for the last month of this long and weird 2021: Last month I told you about how Tomate left us in a long day process. How he breathed his last breath next to me in my bed. He was a relatively young cat, 10 years old. But what hurt most wasn’t his age, it was that it happened so suddenly.It wasn’t the same with Oliva, I knew she was going to…
Goodbye Tomate, hello November.
Before you begin reading, please play the October playlist. It makes the experience different, in a good way. 🙂 This September has been charged with the Virgo energy for sure. I’ve been planning and doing too much stuff. Apart from breakfasts, I really didn’t have much time during the first half of the month to cook for myself so I ended up eating whatever was in the fridge, outside or salads in a plastic package. I know packaged salads aren’t…
