📸 by Andrés Blanco. I am so happy to be back! After a six month break (believe me, not by choice), I can start writing again. I had to finalize the visa process I had started two years ago, which required me to go back to Colombia, and my routine there... well, it was non-existent. It was all paperwork and seriousness, and even though I as able to post something on Instagram, I never found the time to take good pictures and actually write a post. I also took my hiatus to ref

📸by Andrés Blanco. I am a person who loves to do things fast, and even though I wish I could take the time to do some at a moderate pace, it is just not my nature. Lately, I have been doing the exercise of eating with more awareness, but that's as far as it goes.

With the holidays (Christmas, New Years, etc) literally around the corner, it's hard not to feel anxiety and stress to buy the perfect gifts, having the perfect outfit, and serving the perfect meal. No matter if we spend the holidays with one or thirty more people, there is always this pressure for these days to be remembered with joy. This is the reason why we fall into excesses about everything: the food, the gifts, all the shopping in general, which leads

Andrés Blanco 📸. We have all been there, we see somebody wearing something on Instagram, immediately fall in love with it, and right then and there decide to get it. For several years now, we have continuously been losing our personal style, and it has something to do with social media. Even though before there were fashion magazines and we would feel inspired by celebrities, most of the times we couldn't buy that exact same outfit, and we had to get creative, either to find
