Baking Boot Camp for Amateurs in NYC! Last Christ

Baking Boot Camp for Amateurs in NYC!

Last Christmas, instead of buying physical gifts, my husband and I decided to gift each other with experiences and here’s what we got us: a Baking Boot Camp for Amateurs at @homecookingny

We spent 4 Sundays learning how to make cookies, tarts, and cakes (I had to skip the quiche class for a good reason: my half marathon!).

We had such a great time - and we were able to bring home our creations (and a lot of knowledge, of course!).

They have a lot of classes and workshops - not only baking ones!

BEDROOM MAKEOVER! Every time we traveled and stay

BEDROOM MAKEOVER!

Every time we traveled and stayed at a hotel or Airbnb with a king-size bed, I’d think: “Gosh, this feels so good.”

Well, after 10+ years, we finally pulled the trigger and upgraded our bed to a king. My husband was like “whatever” at first, and after night one, he was fully converted: “This was so worth it.”

Here’s what we got:

🛏️ The Bed: We chose a hydraulic lift-up storage upholstered platform bed—because this is NYC and every square foot of storage matters. It’s from @wayfair and was under $300. Total win.

🛌 The Mattress: We splurged here. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it had to be good. We went to @mattressfirm to try a few in person and landed on a firm one (we’re very particular). No regrets.

🧺 The Sheets: The downside of upgrading bed sizes? You have to replace all your bedding. I ended up getting linen sheets from @onequince —and wow. Was I living under a rock? They feel so luxe, and the price is solid.

I linked everything in my stories, or check the “Home” highlight!

Classics are... classics! And, sometimes, it’s all you need! So, make sure to get a @weberranchvodka for your next Martini🍸

This new agave-based vodka was created by the same founders as Patron Tequila and i’s made from agave, so it’s smoother, naturally a little sweeter, and has no weird additives. Only two ingredients: water and agave!

Oh, and if you need more inspo for your cocktail recipes using Weber Ranch Vodka, make sure to check their website!

✅ Always drink responsibly. Don’t drink if you’re pregnant.

I DID IT! 21.1km or 13.1 miles (I don’t speak miles 😂). United Half Marathon 2025 🏃🏃‍♀️

I can’t believe it’s over. I was so nervous, then emotional, then excited, then emotional again. Such a ride (and so many hills!). Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge was one of my favorite parts of this race - but more than that, it’s about the accomplishment and the adrenaline. I know it sounds cliche, but it feels so good to realize “I can do it!”. Also, it means a lot to run in this special city that I get to call home!

Thanks to my friends who cheered me up and celebrated with me - in NYC, in Brazil or any other part of the world. Means a lot 🥹

Thanks @runna

And that’s all I can write now 😴

Less than 48h for my first race ever - which happens to be a freaking Half Marathon. Can someone pinch me? I put my name in the lottery without thinking a lot, and I freaked out when I was selected. Three and a half months later, here I am! READY! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

So excited to cross the Brooklyn Bridge and run through Times Square - they only close it to traffic twice a year - for this race and for New Year’s Eve!

Please say hi if you see me 🥹
