I've been struggling with anxiety attacks lately, I guess it's partly because of my dad's recent loss and another tiny part might be because life has been getting quiet hard for almost everyone in Brazil. Last week I had an episode while I was sleeping - that has never happened to me and it scared me to no end. I dreamed that I was crying about my dad and couldn't wake myself up, once I could open my eyes and feel sort-of awake, I realized I was physically crying and gasping for air. That moment made me realize that I need to get back on my feet, emotionally, mentally and every way possible... I need some time to be able to be patient with myself and regain the focus that lost from the time that my dad got ill until he passed away.

As you know, I'm in the homestretch of writing my book and I've now understood that practical things that I used be able to finish within seconds are taking me much longer because my heart is still very heavy and my enviroment is less than helping me through the healing process. So, I've decided to give myself a week off blogging while I focus on finishing up my book for you and so that I can complete projects with clients and sponsors and be able to give myself 100% to the people that are putting their trust in my even through these difficult times.

I can't thank you enough for always cheering me up and making my day with your kind comments and messages. I'll see come back next week, hopefully with better news.

❤

It's a beautiful-windy day today and I'm going through piles of work. Somehow, I still love Mondays. I also needed some inspiration for this busy week and the images above seemed to inspire me this morning. Here's to a beautiful week.

How are you doing? - My blogging hiatus is long gone and here I am at this again. To be honest with you, I missed blogging terribly. I got things done and new projects have been scheduled but what I'm looking forward to the most is coming back to this space. This week I'm loving pales and dark woods. I know it's Monday and man, wouldn't we all like an extra day off but... what are you loving today?

Making moddboards is one of my new ways to relax. I love going through photos and admiring people's work. It makes me happy and inspires me. I've been loving silk and Pantones Metallic 8604 C + Pastels Neons Coated 9080 C lately, how beautiful are the colors in the photos above? - and those Nike shoes, I want them on my feet, pronto. How's your Tuesday going so far?

P.S. You can also find me sharing a day in my life with Breanna Rose today on her series "Creative Diaries".

Let's try this again, shall we?

Last week, even though I tried I could not get back to my normal life the way I wanted to because I had piles of work and never-ending lists of things I needed to do at home. Picture trying to do all of it at once in a Country known for their devotion to Soccer while the World Cup happens plus some riots on the side. Everything and I mean, everything, is taking a lot more time and effort so I apologize for being MIA and thank you for your kind comments, emails and IG notes you've left to ask if I'm doing well.

I decided to create a mood board for today as I clearly need to ease into this and I'll probably be blogging a little less until things get back to normal. How are you doing? Here's to a beautiful, productive week!

I've revisited this post a million times today. I was supposed to hit publish at 7:00am this morning but life and work are running at full speed these days and I'm sitting here just now able to add some words to the moodboard above. I don't know if you missed me last week but I definitely missed you. I have been juggling several projects, adjustments and life changes lately and I could not for the life of me find time to blog or feel inspired to for that matter. I'm tired now but oh, so happy to be back. I hope you're all having a wonderful Memorial Day. Here's to a wonderful, inspiration-filled week!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! It's not such a happy one for us because we do not get all the perks that come with the celebration but it's a gorgeous, sunny new day and for that I'm very grateful. This week started with the right foot and it's a busy one, friends. We are getting ready for a weekend getaway and even though we are only a few hours into Monday I'm already running around like a mad woman. I hope you have a great one! Don't forget to hug your mums a lot this week.

This week I'm grateful for the ones closest to me, work and for the blessings that the future holds. As you can see I'm still very much in love with nudes, soft pinks and white... What's new, right? Your turn.

This week I'm grateful for work, much-needed time with friends and working with absolutely amazing clients. I'm also all about pinks, nudes and shiny blacks. I've discovered a new passion for different fabrics / textures and I find myself trying to figure out a stylish solution for my growing metal-head hair, that low ponytail might do the trick. What are you loving and grateful for this week?

It's Monday again. I know everyone says this but months are flying by this year and I feel so rushed every single day. Between deadlines, work, home and lists of things to do I had been feeling like  there was less and less time for the things I love.  After feeling incredibly under the weather for the last few weeks I decided to put a stop to it yesterday and I'm committing myself to do what I can and no more than that. Putting myself back somewhere at the top of my priorities and changing the things I do not like. I'm saying this not because I need accountability but because I'm sure more than one of you feels the same. This year probably hit a lot of you and maybe by me sharing this, it would encourage you (or so I hope) to stop, re-group and put yourselves back at the top of your list as well. This moodboard may seem insignificant but it warms me up inside and quietly reminds me of all those things I love, want and should be doing today to tell myself "I love you". Hope you have a beautiful week, friends. Here's to us!

How is your Monday going so far? I needed some inspiration last night so... this happened. Later on I made that Blueberry Breakfast Cake happen and I couldn't wait for the "Breakfast" part to arrive. The story of my life.
What's inspiring you?

I made this little collage yesterday and found a new passion for Pantone 5185EC. I have never been a lover of purple (if you know me, you know that) but ironically, I've found myself buying objects in all shades of it lately. Candles, vases, chopping boards, lipstick(!) you name it. Am I alone in this boat? Do tell me.

Happy week!

You know how I was telling you I love Mondays... Well... This is the first one in a long time I was hoping didn't come sneaking up on me the way it has. I'll be part of the "WTF is it Monday already?" Club today. If only I owned this tee     -Sighs.
Happy Monday, believers!

Feeling drained of inspiration again and daydreaming of having the time to craft, run and and choose new artwork for my naked bedroom walls. This board should give me the push I need.

This week I hit a creative block and decided I needed some inspiration - what's better than a pink-filled moodboard? Ok, I guess Fridays. That's what. Here's to an inspiring, productive and beautiful weekend!

Moodboard: Recovery

ohmegee!
It's May. Can someone help me find the brake?
... Days have flown by and I'm a few sleeps away from traveling again. I'm a lot more nonchalant  about it this time around as I happen to be recovering from the worst illness of the Century and I have my eyes set on recovering alone.  I wanted to make my self-motivational morning rituals part of my recovery process. I have to swallow about a thousand pills a day and get painful shots and drips but somehow thinking of what lies ahead and how wonderfully simple and calm my life is at the moment gives me all the encouragement I need. So, if you are going through a rough patch: Make a moodboard and keep positive. Thank you for all your tweets, facebook messages and kindness, they've surely lighten up my days.
Happy Monday!
