Hola Reader! This week has honestly been a bit rough. My website is going through it and at first I wasn't even sure that I wanted to share that. But I also think it's important to share the bad along with the good of this creator/blogger journey. Hoping to have my site back up before the weekend, but for now it's down for maintenance. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! Bebino and my Meet Cute anniversary this past week was exactly what we needed! We visited this island about 2 hours north of Lisbon on a day trip that has crystal clear water which you need to take a ferry to get to. I've shared all the details on how to get here on my latest blog post. Make sure to add it to your future Portugal trip! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you. I appreciate your support...

Hola Reader! What a weekend! From the beach to a creator meet up to a Latin American Market, I got up to a lot this weekend. It was exactly what I needed! I had started feeling a bit in a slump cause I felt like I was focusing mainly on work and not friendships or networking and I wanted to change that. This next week is now about to be busy. I got what I asked for. 😅 * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you. I...

Hola Reader! The last few days been HOOOT in Lisbon and as someone who doesn't have AC in her apartment, it has been a rough few days. Tomorrow it'll finally cool down a bit and I'm very much looking forward to it. Because of the heat, Bebino and I have been at the beach and even getting in the cold Atlantic water that I usually avoid getting into. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! Now that I've been back in Lisbon I'm enjoying the beach and doing more summer activities. This week I've been working on getting back on track with content.

Highly recommend doing this with your girlfriends this summer. 🌸 * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you. I...

Hola Reader! Whoops, last week got away from me. Traveling around Turkiye with my family and having limited WiFi didn't let help. But the trip was AMAZING! It was so nice to spend quality time with my parents and sister now that I live far away from them and being able to explore somewhere new together is always a fun experience. Some places I loved on this trip: Sunrise hot air balloon ride in Cappadoccia Visiting Ephesus, where Cleopatra once was Dip in the Pamukkale thermal pools I'm back...

Hola Reader! I've been in Turkiye for the last few days with my family and it's been so nice to explore somewhere new together. Living abroad has made me realize how precious it is to spend time with loved ones especially my parents. They look older every time I see them and I really want to treasure every moment I can with them especially since I'm far away. Since I'll be traveling for the next couple weeks, please note that my Monday emails won't be as fully packed with goodies as they...

Hola Reader! This past month I've seen more of Lisbon's gardens thanks to Jardins Abertos. It's over for now, but it's a yearly event so you can check it out next year! Next up in Lisbon are the Santos Populares celebrations which is like 2 weeks of parties throughout the city. Highly recommend going to Alfama for their parties, live music, and great food! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.
