Last month was full of food events and I am grateful for that because I’ve been missing my food people. I leave the playlist bellow so you can listen while you read. The whole experience by Sílvia. The thing about eating food that you don’t cook is that, usually, restaurants and events center on flavour and pleasure and not always nutrition. I’ve been feeling my nutrients a bit on the low side, so I’ve tried to sneak in some fruit…
Hey! Did you miss me? I surely did. I’ve been focusing in other projects but the other day I felt the urge to come back here. To write in English about life and food. But as always, tune in your spotify and listen to my January Playlist. It comes with oldies. I felt nostalgic. I decided to come back to this monthly summaries. More as a check up than anything else. I really don’t focus my life on food that…
It’s February already and I am happy because I’ve just announced a new tour with Escuchando Elefantes Don’t forget the playlist of the month 🙂 It’s been a while since we’ve toured. A long while. We’re excited and busy. I’ve been incredibly busy during January. That’s a good thing to avoid the winter blues. But being busy always takes a toll on my body. This week I’ve been feeling the inflammation creeping up, so I am…
It’s the first month of 2023 and even though I’m a very optimistic person, I can’t help but feeling the winter blues. January is a dark month, even if in Yule the light won over darkness and days are becoming longer. Darkness and cold, but specially damp weather make me feel lethargic and sad. I don’t talk too much about Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in here, although it’s a big passion of mine studying both. In Ayurveda, we…
The year is coming to an end and all of us are probably with the New Year’s resolutions hype. I met the flu the other day, so my goal-setting ability is hibernating right now. I feel tired and deeply unmotivated. Let me explain. I am always working on different projects. I am a project person. And even though these days I’m trying to keep up with work, I find that my body hasn’t healed as fast as it seemed. I…
In this post I’m going to dive a little deeper in topics that I’ve been reflecting for a while like individualism, celebrating and cultural appropriation. December is here and the only thing I can focus on is The Christmas Season. It’s everywhere. You know I’m all in for sustainability and don’t enjoy consumerism too much, but Christmas is supposed to be celebrated. No matter your religion. You don’t necessarily have to celebrate a Christian Christmas or any other religious holiday…
Today is the five year anniversary of the car crash that could’ve killed us. I didn’t die. We didn’t die. Although I feel grateful every day (and I prove it by doing a gratitude journal every day) life gets in the way. It’s almost impossible forcing yourself to feel grateful some times. And even though you have things to thank for, the ones that put you down seem heavier. I have a lot of things to be grateful. First and…
Sometimes you write and you feel like you’ll be the only one reading, and that’s a good thing. Other times, you pour your heart out expecting someone to notice your words and feel something about them, but you don’t know if you are doing anything that gets inside their minds. I’ve been having that feeling lately. I know I get to people with all the work that I do, and I appreciate all of you that are there, that read,…
October playlist celebrates Libra spirit and my soon to be birthday. I say goodbye to Virgo season with high hopes about what this month wants to bring me. Here’s the playlist. Remember to tune in before you start reading 🙂 I’ve always been aware that time isn’t as we’re told, I’ve always believed that it isn’t a fixed structure. They told us that an hour passes and that means 60 minutes of our lives. Yet we check the clock every…
Hi again! September playlist starts with a song that I really like. Its lyrics say “We want to have it all” and although the singer use the sentence in a way to critizise society (ironically) I think it really suits the fact that I just launched my new business Sílvia Rábade, in which I define myself as a Muliti-Dimensional Artist. I’m really glad about that and I really want you to take a look because I’m helping people forget about…
