A bit of summer

I really felt the lack of sun this year...
I'm sure I had vitamin D deficiency!!!

For the first time in the 3 years I've been living here I became dramatic about the cloudy, windy, grey, rainy and boring weather in London.

For me, the summer season is a very veeery important...
During summer we celebrate New Eyer's in Brazil, so for me it is really a moment that marks transition, change,rennovation and specially new begginings...

For that reason I HAD to go somewhere, at least for a week, so I could really embrace and feel it in my skin, in my hair, in my breath, through my eyes...and it couldn't have been better!

Highs and lows, Mykonos and Saint-Tropez, 2 places I've already been to a couple of times and I wish I can always come back. ALWAYS!

The summary?

Mykonos...relaxed, laid-back, flat shoes, turquoise, white wine, sunset, grilled octopus, honey, new friends, watermelon, big nights and long days, chill out music, big smiles and new eyes, contemplation and feeling...

Saint-Tropez...elegant, glamorous, luxurious, beautiful, arguibly over the top...candle light, Barry White, champagne, rose wine, raspberries...still Provence, lavander, country side, admiration and thinking...

KORRES- GREEK BEAUTY. LOVE IT!

See you SUN ;)

voltei no tempo...turn back in time...

Eu procuro um amor
Que ainda não encontrei
Diferente de todos que amei...

Nos seus olhos quero descobrir
Uma razão para viver
E as feridas dessa vida
Eu quero esquecer...

Pode ser que eu a encontre
Numa fila de cinema
Numa esquina
Ou numa mesa de bar...

Procuro um amor
Que seja bom prá mim
Vou procurar
Eu vou até o fim...

E eu vou tratá-la bem
Prá que ela não tenha medo
Quando começar a conhecer
Os meus segredos...

Hum! Hum! Huuuum!...

Eu procuro um amor
Uma razão para viver
E as feridas dessa vida
Eu quero esquecer...

Pode ser que eu gagueje
Sem saber o que falar
Mas eu disfarço
E não saio sem ela de lá...

Procuro um amor
Que seja bom prá mim
Vou procurar
Eu vou até o fim...

E eu vou tratá-la bem
Prá que ela não tenha medo
Quando começar a conhecer
Os meus segredos...

Hum! Hum! Huuuum!...
Hum! Hum! Huuuum!...

Procuro um amor
Que seja bom prá mim
Vou procurar
Eu vou até o fim...

Eu procuro um amor
Que seja bom prá mim
Vou procurar
Eu vou até o fim...

We are family

...And because the post earlier this week was about my Grandma's birthday...
...And because I have amazing cousins!!!
...And because one of them is here in London and after years we could spend a lot of great and quality time together...
...And because it's Friday and I'm thinking about all that has happened this week...
...And because sometimes in life we don't give enough importance to how incredibly important is to be close to our families...
...And because now more than never I wish I could be closer to them...
...And because my angels up there in heaven are looking after me...they "sent" me her, Karine, to spend time here in London with me and my brother...
...And because she is so sweet, she has texted me this: x

She said:
"Cousin, I just left your home. I would like to say something to you: your home is so amazing, so inspiring! The books, the pictures, each detail...IT IS YOU IN EACH AND EVERY DETAIL. Your baggage, what you've learnt and have lived, for any of us that are away from you to see... Really, there are a few places that can have such richness and be so light, soft and in such a beautiful way, and your home is like that! A reflexion of you, who is equally unique and beautiful! A big kiss my dear cousin"

How can anyone not smile and want to be close to such a special person?

Kari, I love you! And I love that you still remember that my clothes usually would be given to you, that you still remember the pink fluffy jumper with embroidery, that will still feel inspired by the things I say, even at 3am in the morning in bed...it is very important to me and I feel the same way! You are a fighter, you been through so much in such a young life, and now you are enjoying everything you deserve!!! And rest assure, that is much much much more to come!
Now, let's enjoy the summer, because as the song says..."The sun is in our eyes and the world in our feet". Also, there is a new "cantinho" that you'll see next week- a hint below!Amo-te gata!

When you are away

...and your whole family is together celebrating your Grandma's birthday, in a sunny Sunday, in the country side...You rely on technology...
You make your Gradma cry and then you cry back when you watch her reaction...when she tries to answer we calling her...

Happy Birthday Vovo Maria!!!
