Curly Hair & Hugs with Jerome Jarre | NYC Vlog

Going to NYC is always a fun and inspiring experience. I've decided to split our three day trip to NYC into three short vlogs- each covering what happened on that day. Let me know if you prefer this format, instead of my usual 40 minute long vlogs, that would compile multiple days into one video. I personally think the shorter vlogs make it easier to watch and easier for me to share more of what I do and think on any given day. 

Leave me your comments below!

Much Love,

P.S. If you are ever in NYC, you must go to Palma restaurant and try their gluten free mushroom pasta. It's Ah-mazing! 

Searching for the Sun | Vlog

Okay, I have to admit I never thought I'd love Portugal as much as I did. It was breathtaking, peaceful, I'd even go as far as to say - unforgettable!  It took us a while to visit Portugal, mainly because it's not well advertised. Sadly, for this very humble and beautiful country. From my impression, there is still so much to see in this small, yet diverse place. This time we visited the Algarve region, mainly around Lagos beach. Alex and I are definitely planning to make our way back there and discover more. 

Praia Da Marinha

Beaches we visited in this Vlog:

• Praia De Marinha - This beach is in the top 100 beautiful beaches of the world. In my humble travel experience it makes it to #1. I mainly love it because it's so wild. It makes you feel like you've gone back in time. There are massive cliffs, beautiful golden sand and water. No man made beach beds, umbrellas or stuff that most commercial beaches are invaded with nowadays. It's just nature and you. Also, there were no hustlers trying to sell you stuff, which again is a massive bonus.  I must have taken a thousand pictures there, haha! After splashing in the water and playing with the waves, Alex and I took an amazing nap in the sun. 
• Praia do Camilo - this was another breathtaking beach we discovered with Alex. We spent a whole morning marvelling at the beauty of this beach. And in my opinion, morning are the best there, as later in the afternoon as it gets warmer the beach gets quite crowded, as it's quite small. A must visit! 
• Benagil Caves - one word that can describe this cave is - Unreal. When the tide is low you can walk or swim to it and take photos inside, right on the beach. Since the tide was high, we decided to do a cave boat tour, and it was pretty exhilarating and cool experience. 

O Pescador Benagil was our favorite restaurant. We ended up going there twice. Very fresh and healthy food and very cute decor. 

Eating out is a bit tricky for a non meat eater. I had to make sure that there is no bacon or meat added to dishes that sounded Vegetarian, as once I ordered this innocent rice dish that had bacon in it, even though the menu didn't list it. 

Have you ever been to Portugal? I'd love to hear about your experience. 

Much Love,

When In Rome | Vlog

I still remember the first time we visited Rome, what must have been around 7 years ago. It all felt like a magical dream. From the moment we got there, I was in complete awe of this beautiful and ancient city. The culture, the people, the food - it's all so raw and real, fascinating and exciting. It's hard not to fall in love with it all. 

This time we discovered a bit more here. We visited a Cat Bistro and a Cat Sanctuary. It was all Alex's idea, haha...I think he is a cat lover in disguise. :) haha

My favorite restaurant in Rome is Ginger. It's right near Spanish steps, so very convenient if you are exploring that part of town. They offer fresh healthy smoothies, salads and much more. All of the produce is organic and local. 

If you go to Vatican, I recommend booking an Express tour  (you have to do this ahead of time online). You can thank me later as this will save you hours and hours of waiting in the line up. 

We stayed at this Air BnB - Get a $20 AirBNB credit if you sign up, using this link. All of us loved it so much. It's located in a great area, close to a farmer's market and lots of hip restaurants. The flat itself is clean and cozy with big windows and a balcony.  

Have you been to Rome? What's your favorite thing about it? 

Much Love,

Positano Outfit Diary

Positano is a dream. No, really I mean it. When you are there, it totally feels like you are in a dream. The breathtaking views, pastel painted houses, the sound of the sea - it's all like a little piece of heaven. It feels more real when you leave the place. Haha! 

We vlogged through the whole trip and did our best to transfer the feeling of being in Positano. I think we came quite close, although the best of course is to visit it someday yourself and experience what this magical little village is all about. 

Our Positano travel guide is coming very soon, so stay tuned for that.  What's your favorite holiday destination? For us it's definitely Positano. 

Much Love,
