Make your wishes and give thanks for a beautiful life. xo
they say the world was built for two
Listened to Katy Perry White Christmas and it made me excited to come home for the holidays. I’ve spent some serious time thinking about what to do next with my life and I’m really excited about it all. This is quite a lovely song…
Listened to Gala Darling’s book Love & Sequins last night. Gala is an awesome Kiwi girl in NY who writes a charming blog and lives a beautiful life. She has so much great and advice and is very positive. I can’t wait to meet her. Two of my favourite bloggers in the world are Gala Darling & Gala Gonzalez (Almul’s Closet). This is Rumi, Gala Gonzalez and I at fashion week in NZ last year.
These are my 15+ postcards with names on them to write at the beach today. I will send you if you give me your address.
Downloaded the Canada Post app and DID YOU KNOW you can make stamps and postcards from your photos. Check this out!
This is what #NewNewTwitter looks like. It’s so pretty. Twitter for iPhone is really good lookng too. Time for me to knock off work and hit the beach. Have an awesome day!

Happy Friday amigos! Yesterday I walked all Playa del Carmen in the sunshine. It was so lovely.
Last night I went to a soccer game. It was loud and full of energy and excitement. I could hear the cheering & “ole ole ole ole, ole, oleee” from our place so I went to check it out. Big guns & kids everywhere.

Our condo is in the back middle of this photo.
Cool bike rack! Never seen one like that before.
Time to hit the beach. Life is a game, play it!
Feeling Young & Restless
In other non-related travel news, I found this last night. HOW COULD I NOT HAVE SEEN IT YET?! It just made me so happy. I searched for a while trying to get ‘all access’ to the Young & the Restless in Mexico. Didn’t happen. I’ll have a week’s worth of episodes to catch up on when I get back next week.

Content Strategy Burger = Hungry for engagement.
HI, i’m on the internet and I should be outside at the beach. What are you doing? DO something. I just learned about Zarly – what you want, whenever, whatever. NARLY!
Kyayyam just posted this and now I want to go to Burger King and Tweet or blog about it. I slept till noon for the first time in ages. It’s amazing how the internet sucks you in. I love learning. (instert nerd smiley)
Finishing up this work, charging my phone and going to the beach. I really want to move. I’m going to. If you write things down and tell people you are more likely to do them. I have so many bites on my legs, trying not to scratch them is HELL. I’m thankful for fresh water and sunshine. What are you grateful for?
Today Twitter changed, this is new Twitter. If you are not on Twitter or you are, watch this and think about how much you could learn in one day. I consume an insane amount of information & content in a day, which enriches my life greatly.
Note to self: GET OUTSIDE.
You Only Live Once
Make the most of each day. You will never be younger than you are right NOW so go do something awesome. Pura vida!
Last night we made friends with six hot flight attendants from Belgium who were totally awesome. I went swimming in the pool at the bar that over looked 5th Avenue. Reconsidering my thoughts about moving to NY and thinking about LA. The team at Thynk Taynk (I’m here with) is really cool! I don’t think I want to have so much stuff or live in one place anymore. Travelling is the most amazing experience and I want to live it everyday.
We discovered THE BEST SONG last night. This is it!
Playa del Carmen es uno de los sitios más visitados de la Riviera Maya, y en general del sureste mexicano.
Es en sí mismo un foco turístico, pero además se encuentran a su alrededor varios atractivos principalmente relacionados con ecoturismo , turismo de aventura y playas.
Don’t speak Spanish? No problem! I leave my browser in Spanish (or whatever language the country I am in) so I have to read the language more. It’s a fun game for me, I learn more that way! The title of this post and following translation are from the Playa del Carmen description on Wiki.
“Playa del Carmen is one of the most visited sites in the Riviera Maya, and in general of the Mexican southeast. It is in itself a tourist destination, but also are several attractions around mainly related to ecotourism , adventure tourism and beaches.”
Yesterday I checked out the beach & 5th Ave where all the travellers, resort & clubs are. Met two babes from Argentina on the beautiful beach and we swam, tanned and had drinks in the sunshine near the hotel above.
There are so many bars you can get massages at! For the record DO NOT get a massage after a night of drinking. All the toxins will come right out and you will want to put your head in a vice. Trust me, I learned the HARD way.
Saw a live band @ Fusion bar.
Swam w/ Rodrigo, dreamboat from Argentina. See video below. Yikes! 😉
Family portrait.
Saddle bag at the leather shop.
Say YES to Frogs, Señor.
Mexican moolah.
A VW UTE! Man I love the Holden Utes in NZ & Aus. My Uncle & Cuz Matthew drive ’em.
Cute.
On my way home I stopped by Reina Roja, house of the Red Queen for some wifi and a Piña colada. I’m planning to book a room there for one night before I leave. It’s an amazingly sexy, cool place! This is the bar downstairs. Today I check out the rooms and the roof top pool & bar 😉
Travel Tuesday – Playa Please
The housemates do the Insanity workout each morning so being a keener, I joined in. I love being in Mexico! Didn’t bring workout clothes so my outfit consisted of American Apparel, Toms, and a headband. Yeah, I’m so super hipster. Textbook.
The workout wasn’t as bad as I thought. Reckon I’m more fit than I give myself credit. It amazes me how productive I am with work and exercise when I am out of Toronto. If I could only channel or bottle that inspiration! Knocked a few things off my list and gonna go exploring & grab a coffee (at Starbucks of all places haha). Do you know that Playa Please is a Foursquare badge?
