Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you doing? I hope you spent an incredible week. I’m sorry for the crickets here this week – I only managed to publish two articles because we live our last days in Seville. One of the biggest gifts for me during this long trip was that I pre-written 12 blog articles before our departure. It gave me the chance to really unplug and enjoy, and now we are at home and it’s back to routine!
I am quite proud of myself because during almost the whole trip, I was solo. The girls and I stole across the ocean to Barcelona, appreciated a few days before our cruise and after our cruise there, made the Disney cruise, Flee towards Seville, spent more than 4 weeks there, and the pilot has been able to join us in recent days.
He finished training since he returned to airlines, and even if we hoped that the timing would work with the trip, I did not work in this way. As he was going to have gone anyway, the girls and I went there and I am so happy that we did it. They are older now, which makes things easier, but it was definitely a basic journey for girls! I still have messages in Spain on the way, including some of my advice, Airbnb recipes, the way I travel with a zero jet lag, the sticky visit of Barcelona and the food, so stay listening for them !! If you have any questions for future items, please LMK!
In the meantime, I am here in a hooded sweatshirt of the air conditioning of Copius (bless it) and I hug with Miasey. I would love to hear what you did and what you have this weekend!
Some photos of our last week:
An incredible dinner in Petra. This spot wins for my favorite tortilla, and I tried a lot while we were there 😉
Pollo Asado Aka Chicken Man. We had Pollo Asado so many times while we were in Seville, because it was right downstairs from our Airbnb. They had chickens to roast and you just have to tell the guy how much you would like, he would have your chicken, cut him and put him in a container and drizzle with roasting dish. It was $ 11 and the best chicken. I’ll miss it!
The pilot did it! He finished training and jumped on a boost to meet us. He arrived just in time for the celebration of Father’s Day in Isla Mágica, which is a water park and a theme park. We were with four other families and all the children (and adults) loved it.
That night, we went to Cabonería, which is a bar with live flamenco. We arrived just in time for the show; It was perfect! We appreciated the Tinto de Verano and the Flamenco Amaaazing.
Taurelle ring and museum. Although I would never assist a bullfight, I was interested in seeing the museum and such an important part of the culture and history of Sevillano.
(The dress is there // The shoes are there))
Cañabota. I enjoyed a small evening with a double meeting on the Michelin with Sam and Tony. This meal was epic. Everything was so fresh and beautifully prepared. 10/10 Recommend.
(The liquid in the glass on the far right was “water gaspacho”. It was clear but had exactly the taste of gazpacho!)
My beautiful friend Sam! I am so happy that our babies decided that they were the best friends forever when they were barely 3 years old.
It is time for the weekly Friday favorites Day. This is where I share some of my favorite discoveries of the week and around the web. I always like to hear about your favorites too, so please cry out in the comments section below.
6.20 FEDAY FAVES
Mode + beauty + random:
New dress find! I caught this in Corte Inglés (my favorite department store on several levels in Spain) before leaving. The brand is maksu.
Give applause to my pre-spa manicure. I was determined that they were zero maintenance during our absence, so I asked for flowers + a shade that corresponded to my natural nails so that they could develop. Technology nailed her. It’s 7 weeks of growth and you can only see it if you look closely. From a distance, they always look good.
Read, look, listen:
Don’t forget to check The episode of this week podcast here On the reasons why you are not losing weight, even if you do all things.
I watched four films on the return flight! West Side Story (The new version is really beyond the theater, costumes, choreography, casting), the new Bride (super cute and fun), new snow White (I have the impression that despite the bad press / criticism, it was good) and Pearl Harbor (Can you believe that I have never seen everything ???). My eyes burned afterwards, but it was a kind of thing once every 10 years lol.
Fitness, health and good dishes:
Back home in my red light. It was so good to use it again and I felt an instant energy increase. (Fitnessista allows you to save $ 260)
Make the famous uncle pasta salad for family dinner tomorrow.
Ordered this grilled brush Because it has no metal hairs.
Make this ice cream cake as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for stopping in the blog today! Have an incredible weekend and I will see you soon!
