OH MY VICTOR NEWMAN GOD! #yandr

So, last weekend I had the opportunity to meet THE ONE, the man, the moustache, Eric Braeden and do a 10 minute interview. Unfortunately, I was en route to Costa Rica but FORTUNATELY Kevin and Barbie did the interview. I’ve got that to share when I return from vacay BUT…in the mean time, look/listen/love this message with me.

AHHHHHHH. I DIE.

Thank you Kevin & Barbie. ILU x <8!!

Travel | Aerial Silks Workshop at Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica

aerial silks anamaya resort

Yesterday before surfing I did a class in aerial silks lead by Joseph, one of the Anamaya owners. It was awesome! It’s pretty hard and you have to be strong but I loved it. Thanks to my Dad for being a gymnastics coach when I was growing up. It’s all helping now!

I’m not quite as graceful yet but we’re getting there 🙂

Can’t wait to give this some practise.

Night Rain, Day Beauty

It’s rained each night I’ve ben here but the days have been lovely. The pool looked so pretty yesterday as the rain dropped in.

We were floating in misty clouds. It was magical. Then it cleared up nice!

Yeooowwww!

This is the door to my lovely cabin I share with Dana from Vancouver. So cute & cozy. No need for AC the breeze flows through all the windows perfectly. Chilling in there right now.

I’m quite impressed with my stay at Anamaya Resort. It’s super chill & beautiful, there’s been a zillion times I’ve closed my eyes and thought “this is real, I’m really here“. I’m packing heaps into each day yet feel relaxed. (The wifi is pretty good which I’m sure helps in MY personal relaxation.) The days are so much longer here than home, get up early go outside stay outside all day. I miss beach life. I’ve eaten all organic food since Sunday too.

I have no idea what the kitchen is cooking for lunch today but it smells DELICIOUS! Just saw the ladies bring something to the kitchen. I’m starving, BYE 😛

Surf Baby

 

There’s relaxed, then there’s REALaxed.

Doing a class in aerial silks this morning. Skipped yoga to catch up on emails & life stuff. I’m feeling mega relaxed. REALaxed. Was raining heaps this morning but it’s starting to clear up now. Going for a surf in the afternoon and I reckon the sun will be shining by then. Saw the cat catch, kill, eat a hummingbird today. CRAZY.

Made two besties last night Lizzy from NYC & Jed D. from New Haven, Connecticut. Lizzy told me I should move to New York and I’m seriously considering it. I’ve been looking for a change and that would be really cool. Baz said  “live in New York once but leave before it make you hard & live in LA once but leave before it makes you soft”. I wanna give each one a try.

I watch this as a reminder once in a while. if you’ve never seen it, it will brighten your day. One of my fav parts is “Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.”

Remmeber, you are younger today than you will ever be again. Do something special, remind yourself that YOU ARE ALIVE. Life is made for living 🙂
