B-day girl

I promised more maternity styles with no maternity clothes. There you have it! It is what i actually wore for my birthday on March 31st. We had a blast.
Before I start telling about my b-day celebrations I wanted to tell you something very exciting. Max and I relocated and now we live in a whole new place. My style will change I think because now I live in tropics. It does sound like a dream and I absolutely LOVE it so far. I now live in Cancun, Mexico so if you are ever here, drop me a line, I'd love to hang out. So far I absolutely love it here, all the downsides are the ones I knew of and been prepared to; so much that actually succeeded my expectations! I'll tell you more later on, most likely when we are fully settled.

We celebrated my birthday in Playa Del Carmen. It was very much fun! We had a huge ice cream instead of a cake (and I totally don't mind) and spent most of the day relaxing in cenote. Cenote is a cave, semi-opened cave or a an opened natural pool with not salted water. The ancient Maya used it as water sources. You can find it all over Yucatan peninsula and if you are ever there you just have to try a number of it. Personally I find it WAY better than the sea. These are called Xca-Ha and you can actually walk there from 5th av which is a main shopping/tourist street in town. Super friendly for kids with tons of pools and rides for little once; big picnic are, you can bring you own food there, just make sure not to eat in the pools and go anywhere near cenote. You have to pay extra for the cenote but it is worth it. It has two pools that are connected via steps. The water is warm there because the cave is semi-open and well lit (some cenotes might be pretty chilly to actually swim around for long). Very nice and affordable place (especially since you don't need to use any transport to get there the center). As there was tons of swimming I am actually featuring a couple of photos from there in my bikini. I found regular bikini with straps perfect for pregnancy as well simplest bras, especially triangles and halters. My breasts grew a lot and I don't personally find it very emotionally comfortable around my chest but I know it looks fine and it's my mind playing around. Yes, you can feel insecure in so many ways, especially if you are in love with your AA cup. 
With my regular outfit I wore an old roomy vacation style monochrome dress. I love it so much, never tired of it personally! White bag is roomy enough to carry stuff we needed (swimsuits and a towel). I didn't want my birthday outfit to e black-and-white so I added some yellow from my new watch strap (actual gift of my hubby for my birthday), sunnies and a silk scarf. I find the coordination pretty cute here. (secret: I have an outfit using the same color formula for you to show pretty soon).



I was wearing:
Marc by Marc Jacobs (old)
Fila flip flops
Michael Kors bag
c/o iGlasseshop glasses
Fossil watch (my hubby's gift for this birthday)
silk scarf (a hand me down from my wonderful Mother)

 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

    1. thanks! yeah, I have tons of news lately but I promise no more surprises. We actually had to move fast with all the things and I did take a week of blogging completely to set up the move, actually travel and such. We were in a hurry because of my pregnancy. I am blessed with a bump on a smaller size but I am actually 33 weeks pregnant already so we wanted to set up home while I can still be active about it. Also our dogs are joining us a little later on with a separate flight which actually makes things SO much easier. And my husband Max helps a lot with everything (he actually does most of the stuff) while still working full time, it's pretty awesome how much you can push yourself when you actually feel the need and is able to be flexible about your schedule, making work purely task-based. We also changed our active hours a bit, it helped a ton. It is surprising how much you can do if you slack less and wake up earlier. It works even for me which is surprising because the main downside of pregnancy for me is having to sleep more, it's a pain to loose two hours of your time per day in a blink of an eye.

    1. I am using regular 50 sunscreen from Nivea not super strong Korean and Japanese sunscreens I am used to, I think there's nothing wrong with getting a tiny bit of tan and there is not reason to really fight it hard

  13. Lyosha, happy belated birthday! You have a lot of exciting things going on. First and foremost, congrats on your pregnancy; you look absolutely radiant! And I'm sure you're excited to your move to Cancun, I can't wait to read about your future Mexico posts. Also, I always look forward to seeing your outfits (though I still can't get over your dress on 'Unique Russia, my day 3' - it's my favorite). I wish you the best of luck!

  14. Hi Lyosha. Cool picture on the swing. But the gator pic is a bit scary. I'd rather eat gator than be eaten by one!

Dia del Taco

Would you head to the city centre to stay in the queues to eat some cheap taco, listen to mariachis and watch lucha libre for your your birthday? Because that is exactly what I happily did! It was so much fun! I was very tired after but it was So worth it. I do hope to repeat it next year because March 31st is Taco day in Mexico. I do hope to enjoy it even more next time! As it was my birthday I wanted to wear something more flashy and festive. I went with sexy skirt, basic top and my most comfortable shoes. I felt edgy and beautiful. May be a little overdressed but who cares as it was my birthday! Who said 'taco'? I was wearing: H&M skirt (yes, i still kinda shocked they made such a beautiful and well made silky perfection) Doc Marten's Cuidado con el Perro top (I wear this shop a lot, but they seem to be so cute and affordable, I found a lot of joy in buying a top once in a while) Coach bag Necklace gift from my partner long before Fossil watch (last year'

A year of my life 2.0

It's been a year since I have moved to Mexico and honestly it still feels like a dream come to true to me. I am so happy and fulfilled here, it is incredible. I am half-way scared I might jinx it. I do pray I won't. I am also very happy how my adaptation went/goes here. I thought it might be useful to many people who relocate to a very different climate and also different culture (always applies) to share some of my tips. Each of them contributed to my well being here. I feel very local here. After all they joke Mexicans are born wherever they feel like. May be it was meant for me to live here that is why I adapted so well. Anyways, here is my piece of mind: 1 Have your eyes opened. Adapt to new reality. It is not your previous home with benefits, it is completely different. Don't expect it to be like your before-home but better in each and every position. 2 People at your new place and the place itself are not "them", it is called "us" now. Start with

Pool time!

It is finally warm enough for a pool! Can't say I am a water baby but it was very nice for me. And Just look at the super cute Ada Maria in her baby bikini. Awww, my heart melted. I definitely felt like a mom-mom in my one piece swimsuit with ruffles and a huge floppy hat. I mean, isn't it what fancy pool moms looked like when I was little. I am a little shocked to realize.. I am one of them now! P.S. it is not nearly as warm today or yeasterday but I am staying hopeful for hitting the pool or a beach  very soon.
