67| HIDDEN GEMS

Hi! Another week down and I’m having a hard time believing we’re at the end of April! The weeks go from feeling fast to slow for me. I find it depends on my moods lol. If I’m happy and very chipper and just vibing high, time seems to fly by quicker.

Enjoy this week’s photo dump!

A friend of mine shared a tip with me. Whenever I want to motivate myself to get out of the house, go to the gym, or whatever put on some sneakers. It’ll signal my brain that it’s time to move!—-It worked!

I designed and created some thank you cards to put in with my sold clothing items. I still write a handwritten thank you in the back. I love adding the personal touch! I am very thankful because business has been great! I do a happy dance with each sale. Please, don’t hesitate to check me out and send an offer if you like anything. You can combine/bundle more than one item and send a price as well 😉

Ive been consistently going to the gym and working out. Its me time. Pouring love into myself. Pouring time and dedication into myself. I want a toned body, with some muscle definition, to feel physically stronger, and healthier. If I want something I can’t sit and wait for it. So, I reached out to someone who I’ve been following online for a while, and she created a plan for me with me and it’s been the difference I needed! I’ve been sharing pics on IG stories to hold myself accountable and to hopefully motivate someone else to take the leap and get moving!

A picture of myself, my grandmother and my mami. Three generations of strong women! The second photo was taken that same day, it’s of 12 year old me (days shy of 13) in Cuba with my mom and a friend at a river. Mami was washing my hair. I shared this on IG stories and felt it needed its own place here.

A book I’ve been reading. I’ll be sharing more on this one and others in a future post.

A delicious “root” vegan wrap that I had a few weeks ago. This had sweet potatoes and roasted beets in it. And omg! It just reminded me that I need the recipe lol!


Hopefully you enjoyed the pics! Can’t you tell? I’m just focused on my personal growth. In a World where a lot feels out of our hands, I’m focusing on what I can do. Thankful for everything that’s gotten me to where I am right now. I am a warrior, I am strong, I am resilient, I am me.

Love, light, and the shadow too—-Cin.

66| 48 HOURS IN TAMPA

Hi!! I know, I know, I’ve been off the posting schedule for a few weeks now. But I have my reasons. Life ya’ll. She be lifin’. That’s it.

In January I booked a Thursday to Sunday trip in March to visit my friend Xenia in Tampa, FL. The Winter season was doing its thing, and my mental and emotional were taking hits.

Anyway, enjoy this photo diary of my short but unforgettable trip. And if you haven’t watched it there is a vlog of my time there that you can watch by clicking this link. It’ll lead you to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/DoPJjsccz4M?si=3ksTqAQ5VKlvW3kO (For some reason I have to share the link in that format.)

Enough rambling, lol…



The Noble Crust of St Petersburg

8300 4th St N. St Petersburg FL 33702

Italian dining with minor Vegan options. First night we sat at the bar and the service was lovely. The bartenders were very attentive and nice. The drinks were good too. I really enjoyed my “meatballs” and pasta. The ambiance was nice too. I would’ve preferred the lights be dimmed a bit more lol. Would’ve changed the vibe a little more. But it was as if Xenia and I were in our own little World anyway.


Plant Love Ice Cream

953 Central Ave. St. Petersburg, FL 33705

A large variety of ice cream flavors all dairy free! The person that was there was very sweet and offered to take our pictures. We got there late and it was close to closing time. If not, we would’ve been there for hours! The vibes and decor were perfect!


House of Vegano

1990 Central Ave. St Petersburg FL 33712

If you’re ever in the St Petersburg area you must stop in! Even if you’re not Vegan! They have a large variety of rolls! The Winter roll is amazing I highly recommend it! If you enjoy Tiramisu do not pass up on theirs. It’s the best Vegan one I’ve had.


Saw this lovely mural during one of our walks and had to stop and take pictures!

Lol dont ask.


The Noble Crust of St Petersburg

8300 4th St N. St Petersburg FL 33702

We really wanted to try a New Mexican restaurant that had many Vegan options. But it had literally just opened that weekend and it was booked! It’s on the menu for next time! So, we went back to The Noble Crust and Xenia got to try vegan meatballs and ended up enjoying a full vegan dinner that evening.

After dinner we walked to a milkshake shop that had many vegan options. They had run out of those by the time we got there. We headed home afterwards since I had an early flight the next day.

Thank you for stopping by! I’m already thinking about my next adventure.

Love, light, the shadow too—-Cin.
