Winter MY Paradise

❄❄❄⛄❄❄❄

"It's the most wonderful time of the year"

🎶 in Breck!!

Winter is here, the temperature is below cero!! Wuhuuuu!!! and the holidays are around the corner!!!

I've always love the holidays ;) maybe because they all come after the big celebration: My bday ;).... 

Yeah that was last month =P and I turned 28..... Aaaaahhhh!!! I am almost 30, unbelievable!!!

Once upon a time this little girl had so many dreams in this pink beautiful world. She always thought about her future and how she just wanted to get there and grow up and live to the fullest.

Life finally showed up and her world wasnt pink anymore. It was not how she planned.

But later she grabbed her own box of colors and she learned how to paint her world however she wanted it :) and fill her present with all the colors posible!!

Now she doesn't worry about the future anymore and enjoys her awesome now! {with you Joey}

;) te amo

Stay warm everybody ^^

Family Time

Joey and I just got back from New Hampshire :D. We went to celebrate thanksgiving with his family :) and brought Snoop with us. I really enjoyed it and it was a necessary break from life.

I had too much going on lately and this trip helped clear mind.

Here few pics of that trip!

I catched one pretty and intact leaf! I believe it was from a Maple tree.

There they actually get red during the fall, unlike Aspens that turn very bright yellow.

The weather was cold and Snoop still enjoyed his walks, my father in law loved taking him around :)

[Roadtrip] For Thanksgiving we went to Glenn's (brother-in-law) house in Charlestown, NH. We drove from Nashua to meet Joey's parents there. It was really nice and the food was yummy :) oh!! and the pies were the besssst part ^^

Something that I will never get over is the architecture! Those old buildings and churches.

One week of fun!

Of course we went out and party a little ;) and I went shoppingggg!!!

On the way back, we got a 5 hour delay.... Ahhhh Snoop was not stoked, but Joey called the airline and they comped us refunding the "dog in the cabin" fee ($125) yeah! Phew!!

Snoop got a little souvenir "Boston" the lobster! =D He is so gentle with this toy, I think he really likes it.

What a week!

Lots of fun moments!

Traveling with my kukis was awesome!!

Now back to the winter season and this tourist town :)

Can't wait to snowboard!!!

Stay Positive!

Sweet Dreams

Hi, it's been a while....

I got a little distracted with work/work/marriage!

Finally, today I came back from my rainbow and hit ground.... Maybe a little to hard.

Life can be so hard on you sometimes.... Lift you so high to let you drop and follow the power of gravity.... And this time was the hardest one.

Maybe this dream of mine is not meant to skip few steps in my "list of dreams" in life....

Maybe I wasn't ready....

Or maybe is part of a plan....

The truth is I am empty.

And I hope to get this emptiness filled with the love that surrounds me. Because there is so much love around me. I'm lucky for that.

Sorry if I don't specified what happened but I need to spill out what's going true my mind. If you really read this or follow my Instagram you can tell this week I've been absent... I hope to get myself back to normal back to the routine.... Maybe this taught me something. I want to believe I can get something good from this pain.

Time always heals but memory is a deep scar. I have to learn to live with it. Your wings will protect me.

Pensar que uno de tus amigos no esta más en este mundo duele....

Pensar que el resto tiene otra oportunidad...

Eso me hace feliz!

Be Free Follow Your Journey

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

-Nelson Mandela

"Free the birds" asymmetrical earrings that come with a little store.

If you will like to purchase a pair of earrings like this, stop by my etsy shop.

When I designed this pair I had in mind freedom and the journey of my friend.

I met Ruben around 2002. He is a very interesting character and full of life. Super friendly and involved with the nature.

My friend Ruben loved to practice the art of Cetrería, in english is called Falconry or Hawking. This means raising birds of prey to hunt in their "natural environment". Basically he kept them tied by a rope so they wont escape and teach the to catch their own prey. Later they will be without a rope and listen to commands.

On my recent trip to Peru, I visited Chiclayo my city of birth! Ruben and I got to hang out and catch up with our far apart crazy lifes!! We haven't seen each other in years. But kept in touch online which is not the same.... Sometimes online conversations can be so vague.

So, he told me about this new journey of his. He realized he love the birds so much that it was so unfair to keep them in his house as pets. He realized the were   wild animals and they should be FREE!!  [like him I believe ;)]. And HE did free the birds!!

At the end of my visit to Chiclayo, he came to the terminal. I was taking a bus back to Lima. He brought a box with him and gave it to me saying "this is the last part of my release, in this box I have all the feather I collected naturally from the birds, I want you to have them and make something nice because you can". 

I was the happiest girl in the world!! Feather that ment something! That's the best souvenir from my trip!!

Aaaand that why creating this pair reminds me of this event. I am very grateful for Ruben and the path his life is taking. I am also grateful for our friendship :) he really rocks!! I consider him oneof my best friends. It doesn't matter that we live in different hemispheres. When we get together is like I saw him the day before. Friendship like that is eternally cherish!

Phew! This turn out to be a big post! 

Here is a pic of Ruben back in the day.

The lesson for me is that you pick your path in this world. Believe and follow what you truly feel. You got one chance to make your life worth something for yourself!

Enjoy life!

Bring back the Tornasol mood!

        Sometimes I have the urge of getting some paper and draw what comes to my mind. I got this arrowhead with a tribal vibe. Man!! I need to make some time for more of this stuff in my life!

I happen to stumble upon and old blog, the one from the teenage times... Wow... It was very shocking to read and realize that sweet and very young girl full of energy and creativity was almost gone....

She "stayed in Peru" when I moved to the states in 2005.... But thanks to my internal soul searching I got to reconnect with her and bring back my roots my original self. 

Life can try to alienate you. Make you part of the mass.... But you have the power of realizing it and of your path goes against the current.... Well stay strong and pull as hard as you can.

Later Spicyheart pop-up on my mind and look what i found, the infinit symbol is there. Some now refer as YOLO {You only live once}. That give me a great idea for a new collection!!! So much that can be created. This is just the beginning!!!

I've been designing new wirejewelry that i hope to get ready for the end of the month. As well as more inkabohemian necklaces and the realease of "The Chakana" necklace (continuing with the Inka Collection).

Enjoy life
