Cat Cafe: O Porto dos Gatos

-
Today was a day to explore the city, so I decided to go to a place that sounded magical to me... A little cozy cafe full of cats!
Upon entrance you notice lots of cat related decorations but the most noticeable thing is this amazing mural.
In it, you can see some buildings, related to the city of Porto, resting on top of a cat's head. But the head is composed of 4 different breeds of cats, which is definitely a forecast of what you'll find inside.
But where are the cats?
They have a special separate room all to themselves, in which they eat, play and sleep (a lot!). You can go inside and take pictures, pet them, watch them interact with eachother or you can even adopt them!



                                                                             


































 












         
But they also hang freely outside, so since it is summer, outside seemed like a good place to be with the cats and have some of their amazing food. From the menu, you can choose many different vegan and vegetarian options of snacks, cakes, and drinks. Everything is prepared daily by the girls who work in the cafe. Today I had the coconut cake and spiced tea. It was amazing !


                                                                    


                                                              


All and all, this was an amazing new exprience and a great new place to visit with friends. I am for sure going back for more. The cats are very friendly and lovely and if you are considering getting a cat, I suggest you consider adopting one of these. Yes, they are older, and some have some problems with, for example, their eyes, but they still have a lot of love to give and could also benefit from some human love.

Everyday Makeup

I hardly have been wearing makeup lately, as I’m staying home as much as I can, but considering today was Mother’s Day, I wanted to look good for some pictures so, I got my Ultimate Nyx Palette, some eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick and went to town! Well, actually, my makeup is pretty simple, and that’s how I like it! So, this is how I do it: I take shade 1. and put it all over the lid, then I blend it out as much as I can. Sometimes, when I use too much shadow and I’m having a hard time blending, I like to take the first shade in the palette, that white/translucent color, and use it to help blend out the edges. Then I take shade 2. (a shimmery pinky bronze) with my finger and I apply that to the center of the lid for that beautiful pop! Unfortunately, the shimmers in this palette don’t come out with that wet effect that I would like, but it’s the best that I have for now. Finally, I take a smaller brush and apply shade 3. (a very light gold) in the inner cor

Quarantine Thoughts - Day 34

Today is still rainy outside. Since I couldn’t go out there and show you more garden stuff, I decided it was a good opportunity to clean, declutter and show you what’s in my makeup bag! Truth be told, I don’t remember the last time I wore makeup, but I’ve been feeling inspired to use some, so let’s start! I only own 5 brands of makeup so I separated all my items by brand, to make it easier to tackle. So, I’ll start with the brand I own most products of: Avon . From top to bottom, I have foundation, eye products and lip products. The foundation is nothing special, pretty day-to-day, low coverage foundation. For my eyes I have a green gel-stick eyeliner (I don’t even know...); a skin toned cream multipurpose pencil that I use under eyeshadow (so that the pigments show up better); a black gel-stick eyeliner; some mascara (does nothing for me) and a loose pigment purple eyeshadow. For the lips, I have a red lip pencil, followed by 4 red lipsticks, 2 pink lipsticks and

Antisocial: An experiment without social media

-
Image
  As technology evolved over the years, the ability to communicate and share our lives online became common, essential even. Nowadays, we carry some of the most important aspects of our lives in our pockets and most people would be horrified at the prospect of being a day (maybe even hours) without their phones. Some can admit social media is like an addiction to them, but most people I know (myself included) would disagree. I always thought I didn’t really need socials in my day-to-day, I only have them because I like taking pictures, checking up on my friends’ lives and that’s basically it. But lately I’ve been wondering what it would be like to not have social media at all. Would it make me more active? More depressed? That’s where the idea for an experiment came along. I decided I was going to delete all my social media from my phone for 7 days and record my thoughts and feelings about it. Are you ready?   Day 1 – No more procrastinating? I think my relationship with my
