Cortisone, Gym, Feeling Great…

    Home gift icon

Was down when the week started because of my shoulders hurting! Looked up an orthopedic clinic and got an appointment for the next day. They did normal x-rays and then an orthopedic doctor (at least I think that is what he was) examined me.

I thought I had frozen shoulders, but he was pretty sure it is inflammation in my rotator cuffs. He had 3 solutions and the quickest relief offered was cortisone shots in the area. Since I’m pretty freaked out by needles I had to call Angel and get some advice and pep talk. Also they pulled in a poor nurse who’s hand I had to hold while I was crying like a baby. Turns out that it actually wasn’t that bad. Just me being a cry baby!

Had to inspect my ‘stab’ wounds when I got home…

The great news is that it was instant relief! Next thing was to get a trainer who knows how to strengthen the area and found a great guy, who has pretty much massacred my shoulders 3 times since then. Oh, I also have to do exercises at home 2-3 times a day. “The more rehab work you do, the faster they will get better” are his words , so I’m staying on top of it! And he also said that I probably don’t even have inflammation, just my fibers or whatever he called them have gotten unaligned or something like that.

Being pain free has also given me new energy and focus at the gym. No pickleball or heavy lifting yet, but have done more cardio, mobility, and legs and feel great!

My Swedish friend Cathrine moved to Florida 😦 She spent a night with me and Hunter before I dropped her off at the airport. Took her out on the trail here and Hunter took full advantage to receive extra cuddles…

The good thing about hitting the gym is that it is also easier to eat healthy. I try to eat a lot of protein and greens. Hardest is not to eat chips, ice cream or chocolate by night. Instead I go for fruit, cheese, blueberries or beef jerky and it has been going pretty good 🙂

Until Angel texts asking if I want ice cream at Salt & Straw. Obviously it’s a yes! Made her snap a pic of me and this cat. When no real ones are around, I even settle for a drawn one 🙂

Done my weekly share of work too 🙂

And if you crave more ‘personal’ time with me, they just relaunched my Fleshlight wohooo! This is the number 1 selling toy for males and I heard through rumors, that it’s amazing heheheee… To get your own one – fleshlight.sjv.io/LKYD1L

Last night I was invited to an old friend’s house for tacos, sangria and pool 🙂 Her name is Anastasia Pierce and she is a sweetheart! We worked together ages ago in LA and so happy I found her in Vegas now. As always when I get excited, I forget to take pics. I only managed to snap a pic of this amazing pool floatie constellation hahahaaa…

I just finished watching the series ‘Sugar’ with Colin Farrell. A caption from online that I think describes it very accurately – ‘Sugar is visually exquisite and an irresistible treat for lovers of classic film noir’. I really enjoyed it and can recommend it if this is your vibe 🙂

Also finished both seasons of ‘Hand of God’ with Ron Perlman. Really liked this series too! I’ll let you do your own search on it, but can say I enjoyed it a lot!

Finished the first book of ‘The Poppy War’ by R.F. Kuang. Liked it well enough that I just started the second book in the series too. Not a page turner, but pretty exciting…

This morning I also booked my yearly hike with my sister in August. I think this will be our 5th or 6th year hiking. Haven’t dared to book it earlier because of the shoulders, but now we’re going!!! I’m so excited about this! Our longest hike so far, 160km long Padjelanta Trail up north in Sweden. Supposedly one of the most beautiful trails in Sweden.

Next weeks forecast is taking my car in to get a quote about some oil pan change. More shoulder rehab, a birthday celebration and hopefully check out an animal sanctuary I found out about at the pool party last night. Would love to volunteer and spend time around animals 🙂

Leave you with a pic of Hunter in his (for the moment) favorite toy, a long box that I made holes in that he attacks from 🙂

Hope your summer is progressing smoothly. What’s the temperature where you are at? Here in Vegas it’s hot as in my butt crack after cardio!

Until next week!

4th of July and Other Stuff…

    Home gift icon

Hope you had a great 4th of July if you are a gringo 🙂 My street had a block party. I’m very fortunate to have such amazing and cool neighbors! One family was BBQ’ing, another family had set up a waterslide for the kids, people brought sides and I brought desserts. Got a kiss from the doggo across the street, To be clear, that is his tongue, not mine!

Everyone was hanging out and in the evening there were fireworks. Luckily Hunter is not bothered by them and he hung out all night by the garage watching them go off like they were farts. All the neighbors on the street know him and of course adore him!

And here is a video me, Joslyn and Gage made for the 4th 🙂

I think the late night and all the ruckus took a toll on Hunter though as he was pretty much passed out all day the next day… He actually is pretty passed out most days when I think about it…

Unfortunately my shoulders are not doing any better. Tried laser, but maybe need more sessions? Feels like I tried everything. Hot and cold patches, CBD cream, stretching with a rubber band, but every night they are pretty painful 😦 I think I’ll try to find an acupuncture place next!

There was some rain and clods here last week ,so I took the opportunity to go on walks in the morning a couple of days. Great way to wake up and I met a lot of happy dogs. Since I grew up with Rottweilers I had to snap a couple of pics of this handsome guy!

Talking about dogs. Last week Angel had to send her mama dog Henny to doggo heaven. So sad as they are family! Henny was the sweetest lady and howled if you didn’t scratch her belly or give her attention. We talked Henny memories and looked at pictures of her. Most of them were of Henny sleeping with her head on Angel 🙂

They had a very special connection… RIP Henny! You will be missed… Sad days need chocolate, so we wolfed down a Nutella pizza!

The next day when I went to Costco I saw this pallet of Nutella and had to use all my willpower to walk past it without grabbing 5 of them! Why can’t Nutella be healthy?!?!

Even though I can’t lift anything, I tried to keep my cardio going with some leg exercises…

Then there is the skimpy stuff cause you can’t skimp on that! Is skimp a word? It is now otherwise…

Another day at Angel’s house with Kayla making some cheese for us and some pool time until it started raining…

Hope you enjoyed your weekend and rested up so you are ready to stir sh*t up next week 😉 I don’t have too many plans other than rehabbing my shoulder and a pool party next weekend.

Catch ya’ later!

Austin, Phish, Hugging Pavement…

    Home gift icon

Had a great trip to Austin! I’ve been there a long time ago for work and didn’t really get to see much of the city. I really enjoyed it even though the city felt like a Finnish sauna at times 🙂

Short flight and checked into Carpenter Hotel. Cute hotel…

One of the good things about the hotel was that it had a great coffee shop downstairs! My day doesn’t take off without having a coffee first! Met this cute dog there too…

I have a couple that I’ve known for a long time that moved there about 4 months ago. Nothing better than knowing locals who already tried out spots and then just guide you around to the best places. We went around on those electric scooters and I love how much water and greenery there is in town…

Being in Texas meant that there were a lot of cowboy boot stores. We stopped at Allens Boots that has been around almost 50 years. Obviously had to get a pair and roll like a local 🙂

I’ll show you the pair I got shortly 🙂 It’s always a plus when the place you visit has an abundance of great coffee places. One of the places is Maaribu Cafe + Gift. Great coffee, cute little gift shop inside and we enjoyed our coffees in their quiet backyard…

You can’t go to Texas without having BBQ. Terry Black’s Barbecue hit the spot! Delicious meats! Ate like an elephant! I just assume they eat more than a horse…

A quick stop at the hotel to grab my bikini and we went to Barton Springs Pool. The water comes from Barton Springs and it’s super refreshing in the heat. Packed with people though…

There was this tree in the park outside and someone said it’s called the Monkey Tree and people do acid under it. Hmm, might have to check if that’s true next time 🙂

Had to try the hotel pool too to cool down after getting back. Wish I could’ve spent more time there because it was very relaxing later on the day when there was not that many people there.

I think I looked pretty damn cool in my bikini matching it with my new boots!

A quick shower and then it was time for the main event of the trip – the Phish concert! Made a pit stop at the Cosmic Bar on the way.

We were right by the concert riding our electric scooters when my hat is blowing off. Don’t think go to grab it with one hand. Get off balance, wobble and crash right in to the pavement! Felt like it went in slow motion and though I must be bleeding all over my face, Was bleeding by my right eye and thought the scar from the eye surgery had ripped open. My friends checked me and no bigger damages than some scratches. Lesson learned, both hands on the handlebar 🙂

No time to waste, so cleaned up in the bathroom, popped some mushrooms and Phish started! They went off and it was magical! People were ecstatic and it was intense at times. So good though!!! My friend has been to over 100 of their concerts. I saw them in Vegas like 6 years ago on psychedelics, and it was awesome then too!

I finally got to get a ride in a Waymo when heading back to the hotel! Very cool! But why waste space on a drivers seat when they’re self driving???

Got a burger and a chocolate milkshake from P. Terry’s right outside the hotel too 🙂 Got a bit hungry 🙂

At 1.30am Hunter’s sitter calls and says Hunter has had a little accident. Immediately thinking he’s been run over by a car. Yup, I can be a bit dramatic at times… Turns out he had jumped on the kitchen counter and got one of the fly traps stuck on his fur. Running around in panic so it got stuck more. Luckily the sitter is very cool and was able to clean him up good and all was good! But went on Amazon and order fur cleaning products to be delivered the next day just in case… A bit intense when coming off the mushrooms, but was finally able to sleep hahhaaa…

A bit bruised up the next morning from my attempt to hug the pavement…

After a coffee at the hotel, the next stop was Merit Coffee. Sooo goood!

Then Brown’s Bar-B-que for lunch. It was a food truck and didn’t disappoint!

Cross the street was this cool looking gift shop so had to check it out. The coolest thing in there was the store cat 🙂

There can never be too much caffeine, so also tried Proud Mary Coffee. Merit was the best coffee spot that I tried if I had to rate them!

A little stop on the way to check out a trail. Realized after 11 minutes it was way too hot to attempt even a lazy stroll…

I had to keep eating and TexMex food is another undoubtedly great option here. Veracruz had an incredible Mezcalita and probably the best chicken quesadillas I ever had!

My friends have a little toddler so we checked out some ducks and turtles in the next door park. It’s fascinating how many parks they have in town!

Something that hit me while visiting was that people are very friendly everywhere. You can walk, scooter and bike, (and some hardcore folks were even running in the middle of the day) everywhere. They really seem to make an effort in decorating and making places nice with cool designs. The Uber driver that took me to the airport said that they even support street art/graffiti if it’s nicely done. I’m pretty sure I will go back to Austin 🙂 I mean, I got my cool ass boots now!

Got home and Hunter had survived his fly trap trauma. Now lying next to me like the good semi-little boy that he is 🙂

Plan to start yoga next week. Can also start lifting weights now after the eye surgery. Not sure my shoulder will be in shape for that though. Seeing Tony next week too so really hope he can fix it because then he goes on a 1 month long vacation 😦 Other than that I will be shooting, got friends coming into town, Angel is back in town, and 4th of July is coming up… You got plans?

Oh, I got so into the BBQ that I want to get a smoker. Anyone here a big BBQ’er that can give any tips on one?

Wishing you a superb upcoming week and Happy 4th!!!

Rehab, Sugar Detox, Work…

    Home gift icon

Jet lag and I have been at it this week and I think I finally beat it! But now I think I’ve got a frozen shoulder 😦 So painful at times it’s been hard to sleep. Not sure how or why, but been going to Tony and he gave me shock therapy on it – ouch!

Also mixing it up with a hot and cold sleeve which seems to help.

Managed to drag myself to the gym too. Not allowed to work too hard after the eye surgery yet. Been doing light cardio which felt like climbing Kebnekaise all over again. Resorted to the pool area to work on my tan instead hahahaaa…

Jennifer Dark was also in town for a quick trip so hit another pool with her 🙂

Lots of work to catch up on. Got Kayla to help me and we shot this funny Lara Croft scene. A little clip for you when I try to be a bad-ass, but allergies hit…

And some pics…

And some stuff I edited. If you missed who the voluptuous blonde is, it’s Joslyn James!

My sugar detox has been going unexpectedly well. Been cooking a lot and not had any candy, bakery stuff, ice cream or chocolate! Pretty impressed with myself. Still working on my snacking at night time, but hey, one struggle at a time. Went out for sushi one day and just realized I had an Affogato for dessert. Normally I would’ve taken a whole ice cream bowl, so let’s let that one slide…

And Hunter? He is being his phenomenal self. I now have the neighbor’s kids just entering the house asking to pet him. We usually enjoy the cooler mornings outside with my coffee or he somehow parkours the wall to see if the neighbors cat Princess (his gf) is outside.

Here’s also a couple of pics of Kayla’s cats Biggie (I called him T Rex for obvious reasons) and Guru.

Been reading some. I enjoyed Jo Nesbo’s novel ‘Blood Ties’. Exciting suspense novel about two brothers in a small Norwegian town. Bribes, murder, romance etc and it’s pretty fast paced so you don’t get bored. Can recommend it…

Was excited for ‘The Devils’ by Joe Abercrombie since I read ‘The Blade Itself’ series by him before, which I really enjoyed. But I gave this book up after reading 40% of it. Only gets semi-exciting and then it dies out. I expected more violence and blood like the previous books. Don’t recommend.

This was a fun and fast read. ‘The Expat’ by Hansen Shi. A espionage thriller between USA and China. Can recommend.

Planning on having an easy breezy weekend. Got an appointment at the DMV next week for all kinds of renewal stuff, seeing Tony for my shoulder, and shooting before taking off to Texas 🙂 Very exciting and look forward to eating some yummy BBQ!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Back from Prague

    Home gift icon

That was one busy and fun filled trip! Jetlag is in full-force, but at least the eyes are healing up nicely. Oh, and I’m trying to detox from sugar, because there was waaay too much chocolate, bakery stuff, bread and snacks! Too hard!

Anyways, here comes some pics. Sunday walk with Archie who came by to visit. The neighborhood where we stayed was so green and we saw chickens, sheep and horses on our walk in the neighborhood…

First time trying LPG over there. You put on a bodystocking and this machine sucks your skin in and massages you at the same time. Good for the circulation and a bunch of other stuff…

.We were always running around town and there wasn’t always time to go to a restaurant and sit down, so that was solved by eating in the car. The food there is just incredible!

One of the days we had a meeting with a producer that Angel knows. He is working on an interesting thing that we will hopefully be a part of 🙂 The meeting was at Cafe Savoy. It was established in 1893 and has a lot of history. One thing we learned is that when they renovated it in 2001, they found the original ceilings underneath, that had been covered up during WWII to hide it from the Germans. Very beautiful place and definitely worth a visit!

We walked in Old Town after. The weather ranged from cold, hot, to a full on storm… The architecture there is beautiful and so many cool buildings. Threw in some sculpture-humping while exploring, because why just take a photo of it?

I think somewhere here we had our 2 days of shooting. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any pics on set. We were told they will share some pics later and I really hope so! We never shot anything like this! It was very funny and everyone was great on set. Can’t wait to show you!

We had our trip to Olomouc to see the surgeon before the surgery. Beautiful town. We had some time to walk around and went inside this big church. I usually try to visit a church in new places and light candles for family and friends who have passed away…

Before the surgery I did another full day in town and it was nice with the sun out this time 🙂 Very walkable city and I hit a couple of coffee spots on list. Coffee and Riot, good coffee and tasty sandwich. Then Dabov Specialty Coffee. They have won a lot of roasting awards and had a big selection of various coffees. The owner was also very passionate and knowledgable about coffee and I tried a super good pour over.

This tower is the Zizkov Television tower. Almost visible all over town. I now noticed they had these little baby sculptures climbing it. Similar to the one me & Angel were ‘posing’ with earlier…

The kids hit the playground one day and of course there was a full bar and cafe there too. Reminds me of Mexico where there’s always food where there’s people. And what amazed me was that every table also had an ashtray. Very 70’s to be able to smoke pretty much anywhere. Even next to the playground LOL… And the food they offered is not the usual fast food crap or ready made sandwiches in plastic. We had some fresh cheese and ”Å¡kvarková pomazánka’. It’s a spread made of ground pork cracklings mixed with lard and finely chopped onion. Sooooo good!

So the kids play and parents can have a drink and some food. Some parents where playing volleyball and took beer breaks in the between to hydrate hahahaa… Also saw this man and had to ask for a picture of his pretty awesome t-shirt!

I’m not big on household chores so it obviously had to be documented when I did some cleaning. Want to make sure I get invited back 😉 Hard work so had to switch to shorts too…

I then had my surgery and after 3 days after my eyes were well enough to venture out again. La Bohemia was another great coffee place.

Hit a park and of course there was another fabulous restaurant called Jurecek there, so more food it was!

Went out for lunch at an amazing Brazilian steakhouse that was in a cellar in old town. The pistachio crusted ice-cream with chocolate sauce for dessert was just WOW! You can probably guess that I never went hungry while here…

Had to walk some of the food off after and we hit a gallery that was showcasing work by Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and one of Czechs most famous photographers named Jan Saudek. His images were amazing and that some of them were from back around 1920’s is mind blowing. Read that he used to paint on his photos to create some of the effects. He is still alive and is 90 years old. If you are into art/photography, definitely check him out!

Also had a day of shopping with Angel and her mom in town. What I though was going to be like a 4 hour day, was a full 12 hour day! Mommy took shopping to another level hahahaa… Of course there were breaks for caffeine, sugar and a sandwich to keep up with her!

Oh, I spotted these 2 books for kids in Czech named ‘KUK’, You have to google what that means in Swedish hahhaaa… Sorry for my simple humor!

Some leftovers. The top ones are from the beautiful train station in Prague. Last pictures of Angel buying more Milka chocolates so we could keep our sugar levels peaking!

It was then time for me to check out, I had an invoice for my ‘room service’ provided by Angels nephew LOL. Angel asked the Uber driver to unload my bags at the airport since I’m not supposed to lift heavy. Well, this Uber driver took it to another level and escorted me all the way to the check in counter!

I decided at the airport to not buy any sweets for my flights. Time to start detoxing from sugar. Well, that lasted for an hour before I ordered candy on the plane. The flight attendant asked which one I wanted and I answered – BOTH!

Guess who was hapy to see me and me him? He of course had to be spoiled with a treat as soon as I put my bags down!

Can’t thank Angel and her family enough for the great time over there! Showing me the sights, helping me with my surgery and recovery, feeding me and just being the best!

How have you been? What did I miss?

Kisses, Puma

Eye Surgery in Prague

    Home gift icon

I’m alive and eyes are almost recovered! Which is pretty amazing considering how I looked after. Looked like I went cage fighting with a tiger, or 5 of them!

After arriving here in Prague, shooting for 2 days, me and Angel took he train to Olomouc to go see the surgeon. He wanted to see me before the surgery to see what he was getting into.

His name is Adam and he is an oculoplastic surgeon. He actually works mostly on functional surgeries on patients that needs reconstructive surgery on their eyes after say cancer, accidents etc. But also cosmetic surgeries as mine. I had face-timed with him from Vegas and instantly liked him. Knowledgable and professional!

So, last week me and Angel rented a car and as the first rate friend she is, she drove me to Olomouc for the surgery. About 2,5h from Prague.

Got checked in and Angel translated all the paperwork for me which was in Czech. The anesthesiologist came in and explained how the sedation was going to work. Basically I would be almost out, but be able to communicate with them during the surgery. So not fully asleep.

The surgeon came in too and I wanted to point out how much excess skin there was and tell him not to be afraid to cut that stuff off. He asked if I still wanted to be able to close my eyes? LOL, end of discussion…

That was about it, before they took me away and in to the surgery room. I already had a drip in my arm and they added the sedation to it. All I can say is WOW! All I remember is that the visuals I had was like a great acid trip hahhaaaa…. I don’t remember anything until I wake up in my room and Angel was there. Pretty groggy, hard to open my eyes, but felt good and no pain 🙂

We packed up and back to Prague we went 🙂

Been sleeping with a pregnancy pillow to stay upright. The surgeon said that they had to sedate me extra during surgery cause I was getting restless and that I would probably feel it and be tired. Slept like a bruised up Sleeping Beauty who been punched out by Rocky Balboa!

I got eyedrops with antibiotic that I have to take 4 times a day. Was hard to open the eyes the next morning, but with the drops and some ice packs I managed!

They have amazing food here in Czech and Angels sister is also an amazing cook, so at least I wasn’t starving 🙂

The cotton puffs next to my nose are to support the fat the moved around under my eyes, That goes for the tape too. The ones next to eyes were to collect fluids after the surgery.

2nd day felt pretty much like the first one. It looks painful, but I didn’t experience any pain at all during this whole time and I didn’t take any painkillers.

3rd day. Even ventured outside for bit.

Since I’m smart, and had surgery with a touch of laziness, I hired Angels sisters kid as an assistant. He is the best! He made me coffees, brought water and made this amazing snack platter for me and Angel! He is obviously charging me and he writes everything he does down on a paper and how much it costs. Luckily he is reasonably priced hahahaa…

4th day. I think this one banana is the healthiest thing I’ve eaten during my whole time here hahhaaaa… We hit the mall and I found IKEA and kanel gifflar. Life is good! They might be the 2nd best thing coming from Sweden. You do know what the number one export from Sweden is right?!?

By the time we hit the toy store for the kids I had to recoup for a bit…

Lots of icing…

By the 5th day I felt pretty normal. Just ignore the mess in the background, my morning hair and appreciate my style of fashion!

We were a gang that went to an amazing Argentinian steakhouse in Old Town this past weekend. Also Angels mom took us to town shopping yesterday. We were out for 12h in total and now need an extra suitcase to get all my stuff home LOL…

Now we are sitting on the train back to Olomouc to remove my stitches. Wohooo, very excited about that cause they itch now. I like how they roll here and serve you bubbly on the train 🙂 Cheers from us!

We done so much here and I’ll try to get all the rest down in a post this weekend. Going to take a nap on the train now before we arrive in Olomouc. Wishing you the best for the rest of the week!

Las Vegas – Prague

    Home gift icon

Ahoj from Prague. Apparently that’s how you say ‘hi’ in Czech. Angel could also be making sh*t up, but let’s just go with it for now 🙂

I thought I was flying to Prague on Friday, but discovered on Tuesday that I’m actually flying on Thursday. It became a bit stressful to reschedule stuff and get it all done a day before. But I managed 🙂

Shot all the stuff that needed to be shot…

I had an hair appointment for Thursday, but managed to squeeze it in on Wednesday instead. Very happy with this new blonder update 🙂

I set a limit that I can only bring 1 suitcase, so there was some last minute rearranging to fit it all…

I think Hunter knows when I’m leaving and of course we had extra cuddles and he walked me out to the Uber. Maybe he just wanted to make sure I really leave and he has the the time of his life when I’m gone…

Airport selfie before boarding…

I consider myself a pretty experienced traveller. But somehow I managed to land at Gatwick Airport in London and had to transfer to London Heathrow Airport for my connection. Nothing that an hour Uber ride couldn’t solve…

Finally landed in Prague jumped in another Uber to go to Angel’s sisters house where we are staying. All of the sudden we are pulled over by a cop and after a speeding ticket and a smoke break by the freeway, I finally arrived 🙂

Eating and catching up before crashing in bed around midnight. Slept like a baby until 9am. No time for jet lagging, just a quick coffee before heading in to the center of Prague. The city is so beautiful. Lot of parks and beautiful buildings…

Watched a bit of the Sweden – USA hockey game in a park too. I don’t really care about the results now since Finland is out 😦

I already had marked out some coffee places that looked great and they didn’t disappoint. Tried The Miners Coffee and Dos Mundos.

And I do want to try smash burgers here next time for obvious reasons hahahaaa…

Angel & her sisters dad is in the hospital, so we popped by there too and ate ice cream with him 🙂

Then continued to some other park cause you can always see more 🙂

Angels sister is an amazing cook and dinner was some Czech smokey cheese with jam, meat a bar of chocolate 🙂

Not sure what happened to my jet-lag, but we managed to stay up until 3am and can’t say we managed anything important But we became vey knowledgeable about Inflatable Penile Prothesis’s LMAO. Don’t ask me how we got in to a conversation about these…

Anyways. Been on a dog walk this morning, Angel is napping and I’m here typing away… Tomorrow and on Tuesday we are working in Prague. I think it will be interesting shoots and BTS pics 🙂

I will continue enjoying my time here and I’ll try to write here next Saturday since my eye surgery is on Sunday, and don’t think I’ll manage to see the keyboard after that 🙂

Productive Week!

    Home gift icon

I like when at the end of the week I feel that I’ve been productive and gotten stuff done. Not just work, but gym, hanging with friends, and spending some time outdoors… I regularly assess what makes me happy and content outside of work, and usually topping my list is being outdoors. What’s topping your list?

Yesterday I tried a new hike. Even though there were pics of a creek on google maps, it was dried up out there. But sitting on a rock and enjoying the stillness, fresh air and quietness resets me 🙂

Obviously spending time with Hunter makes me happy and here’s our weekly shenanigans which mostly consist of napping. I built him this fabulous ‘tent’ too where he likes to hide and sometime sneak attack from…

Oh, and I think Hunter has a girlfriend now. This is a pic from my neighbor with his cat Princess 🙂 Love is in the air….

Had some fun with Joslyn James this week too. Only a couple of BTS pics of me so far 🙂

And some pics I shot last week. There seems to be a theme, me cleaning which I really don’t like doing! But I’m good at pretending 🙂

And since this is a blog about me, more me….

I rocked at pickleball this week! So much fun and just booked a lesson for this upcoming week too so hopefully I keep it up 🙂 Maybe it’s my new pickleball hat?

Today I was invited to King von Nuggets 10-year birthday party 🙂 It was a brunch and it was great. Didn’t get a great pic of the birthday boy but he is a lively doggo for being 10 years!

Got my blood drawn and survived. Had to get extra coffee to get the energy going, but still crashed after 🙂 But good volume on the hair though hahhaaa…

This week is going to be busy. Leaving for Prague on Friday and before that I have to get tested since I’m shooting there. Shooting the last of my custom orders before leaving, getting my hair and nails done, squeezing in pickleball and then packing. Knowing European weather, you need to pack for cold, wind, rain and possibly summer clothes 🙂

Now some homemade tacos for dinner 🙂

A Mix of Everything…

    Home gift icon

Per usual I managed to find the weights at the gym in the beginning of the week… I actually went lifting yesterday too after playing pickleball 🙂 This week was like 80% pickleball and 20% weights, so I will consider that as an improvement!

I have had some pain in my left shoulder and went to see Tony again. Angel has used him for years and now I’m hooked too. He does massage and physical therapy. I book 90min and he really digs his fingers and elbows in the sore spots, but my body feels 10 years younger after!

It was also Kayla’s birthday this week so I graced her with my presence 🙂 Her being so thankful, she gave me this jar of tallow that she made . Am I not supposed to give her a gift on her birthday?

I did take her to get our nails done and then we overate Korean BBQ and I had a cup or two of rice wine…

When we were getting our nails done a lab called me back to schedule a blood draw. Have to get it done to make sure I’m healthy enough to be put under anesthesia for the surgery in Prague. They ask me for my age and I say that I’ll be 39 in September. Kayla looks at me and I pretty quickly realize that I had subtracted 10 years. I’ll be freaking 49. Came a bit of a shock because 39 feels more accurate and fitting hahhaaaa…. The guy on the phone said to celebrate the fact that I’ve made it this far and I decided he is correct! Cheers to that!

Got a lot of work done this week…

Those last Brazzers outfits I grabbed last time I was shooting the Brazzers MILF roundtable (it’s released now) and they got some pretty good outfits I must say 🙂

Hunter, the king of this household is as good as ever. I think he has taken it upon himself to guard our street….

We also have the same taste in great humans. Kayla was over and Hunter gave her a breath check and he loves my friend Maria who also popped by…

Now he is next to me with a paw for support while I’m blogging…

I also finished the series Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. Season 1 & 4 was the best and I can recommend the series 🙂

Watched Havoc with Tom Hardy last night too and liked it…

Also finished reading “Handmaid’s Tale” and “The Testaments” by Margaret Atwood. I started watching the series on TV a while back and remembered it being very good. The books I think were pretty good, but not as exciting as the series…

Spent today mostly chilling and cleaning up my computer of unnecessary files, old photos and videos. Felt the urge for some pickleball and went playing for a couple of hours 🙂 Too lazy to make any proper food so fired up a couple of hot dogs because I still like to keep it fancy hahhaaa…

Almost forgot, Happy Mothers Day to all moms out there. I’m a cat mom and I think that counts 🙂

Hope you are doing great! The World Cup for hockey is happening right now. On Tuesday Finland plays Sweden. Obviously Finland wins! Are you a hockey fan?

Sick, AZ Shoot, Utah…

It finally got me last week! The whatever flu that everyone seemed to be getting or have had. Didn’t feel too sick, but lost all energy for a couple of days. Rested, took baths, read, watched TV and napped with Hunter…

Then it was time to fly to Phoenix to shoot for a couple of days. The flight was so early I needed coffee as soon as I got to the airport!

I’ve heard about these self driving taxis and there were a bunch of them at the airport. So cool! Anyone ever gotten a ride in one?

Got to the location and 1st day was all about me, me, and more meeee!

When we were done shooting we were chilling in the pool with a great sunset as a backdrop and I crowned myself as the lost queen of Sweden…

When I travel and don’t know if there will be coffee, I bring these pouches of instant coffee. I get them from a specialty roaster so they taste a little bit better than the instant coffee from the grocery store…

Then Kayla came and I had to share the spotlight 🙂 We get a tad too excited at times when we work together, but we managed to pull it off before I was sent home 🙂

I also assisted Greg on a boudoir shoot here in Vegas. So much fun and I always learn a bunch from him. Since he is so nice he also came by one day to teach me some new tricks in Lightroom and how to use Evoto for editing photos.

This weekend me & a friend made a roadtrip to St George in Utah. Amazing scenery when you drive…

Got hungry and found a seafood joint called Rusty Crab Daddy. Sooo good and garlic-y 🙂

Saw a table order some desert and asked what it was. Apparently they’re called ‘Beignets’. Deep-fried pastry served hot with lots of powdered sugar. It might be one of my favorite desserts now! Holy moly they are tasty!!!!!

Rented an Airbnb on the outskirts of town and loved walking out to the trees and farm animals as neighbors!

And what do you think I had for breakfast? Tripplets of Beignets filled with different things!

And more coffee because there can never be too much caffeine…

Then drove to Pine Valley to hike a little and check the area out. One day I hope to go camping there, Quiet and tranquil.

I had some cool pose in mind, but I don’t think I nailed it hahahaa…

At a gas station there was these cute chicks for sale. Considered if Hunter would like a buddy, but I think he might use it as a toy, so no chicks for us… Other than human ones!

Heard about this pie place and since it was just across the street and I’m always down for a snack/treat, off we went. I had a raspberry/rhubarb slice and it made love to my taste buds! They had a map there where people visiting marked where they’re are from. Someone from Oulu, Finland had visited. That’s where my family is from. Very cool!

For dinner we hit their popular BBQ spot Pica Rica. A lot of stuff was already sold old, but got some tasty chicken tinga and pulled pork.

There was this funky bar called Spiritual around the corner. Finished the night off with a couple of cocktails 🙂

Awesome day all together and happy I didn’t step on this big toad when entering the house…

Packed up today and visited Snow Canyon State Park on the way to town. Great views of the red rocks and cool sand dunes…

Wanted more BBQ so went back to Pica Rica and had delicious ribs for brunch…

Only a 2h drive from Vegas and I will probably visit again 🙂 Going to look into renting an RV as I would love to camp out there…

Going to order some food and watch some TV with Hunter tonight 🙂 Next week got a couple of shoots planned and a massage so far. Got a ‘property evaluation’ too when they come and check that I haven’t torn the house down. Just saw that it’s Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Maybe Hunter wants to celebrate since he’s Mexican after all. Will give him extra treats!

Got something fun to share?

All the best, Puma
