So long, farewell

Dear friends,

I reached a point where I have little time on my hands, other than the full time I dedicate to my son.

For sure we will meet in other ways as everything doesn't end but changes. For now I guess it's time we said goodbye (even the kittns I had hired stopped painting and moved on creating their playful lives).

Thank you with all my heart for your presence throughout the years, for trust and inspiration. You are beautiful.

This five year experience brought me here today, and I'm proud to say I learned a lot, lived a lot and I wouldn't change one thing about it.

To new beginnings!

For those who believe in miracles

Finding the time to make this T-shirt is a miracle in itself, but when I said miracle I had in mind this beautiful life we live. This supergirl is painted on cotton and then sewed on a T-shirt. She likes to fly and when she's not flying she feels like flying, the wind plays through her hair and a set of tulle wings will take her higher.
Everything is done with hypoallergenic textile paint, organic cotton and of course, love.

Miracles do exist!

In search of a best friend

Yes, I'm seeking a best friend forever.

I'm already bffs with very special ladies. Maria and I used to draw with closed eyes, love Depeche Mode + dream about our first kisses while attending primary school. Then I met Zoni in high-school, we used to go on holidays together, sometimes dress alike and keep a correspondence although we were classmates. Later on I met Denisa, it was love at first sight... on the third day at Uni. We spent the bestestest days together, from conquering the city to singing in front of the computer or just living la dolce vita.
The only thing is they now live in Bucharest + Abu Dhabi.

Also, ever since I started this blog I constantly meet amazing women. Ina, Anca, Mihaela, Gabriela, Bib, Rodi are my friends, but we have kind of a long-distance relationship as they too live in Barcelona, Munich, Eningen and again Bucharest.

Oh and lovely people even visit me sometimes, like Cristiana who was here a few days ago. We celebrated her birthday, had a walk along the coast, had lunch, tea and great conversation. Yep, and then she went back to London. Hm.

I'm living in Cascais, Portugal with my son + fiance. I enjoy life very much, but I miss a best friend.

Every day when I go out of the house I dream of chatting with you, maybe going to the market on Saturday, maybe doing a beauty night (face masks + other pampering stuff at a girls night in), having fun + laughing and who knows maybe telling stories or advice.

Of course, best friends mean more than doing nails together, at the same time they don't have to share big secrets to be close. Best friends love being with each other so much they are happy to just grab a bite, discuss a book or the latest fashion collection together. For good times, and bad times...

So OK I'm on a quest for a bff. Keep you posted, wish me strength. Or magic!
PS. I also speak Portuguese, we can work something out.

The day we just existed

We went outside today after lunch without a plan, without much preparations, just here to the park outside our house. We sat on the grass, it was sunny, really sunny and hot. Marco had a coffee, I had camomile tea and Sean had boobie :-) He fell asleep soon on the blanket next to us. We felt he had a peaceful sleep, that kind they say is to sleep like a baby (I'm continuously wondering how could we make something so wonderful or better yet where did this miraculous person come from).

We didn't talk about the future, we didn't talk about the past, in fact we didn't talk much, we just stayed present and enjoyed the moment like a favorite series they would always film or a never ending macaroons box.

We witnessed nature, small plants, thorns plants, leaves, flowers, trees, us and seeing how we are all connected, organized and with a purpose we felt life is not accidental.

We got back home smiling and confident we hold all that beauty in ourselves, hoping to open more often the door to just being.
