Alone in the world

Photo booth

If there’s something I appreciate in my life is to discover a new thing, to learn, but not just that, is also the understanding why I needed to discover it, why I needed to be in this place and why I needed to discover that secret door, i’ve learned so much this year, thank you.

Boob wall

Hi friends,

I hope you enjoy this Boob Wall I installed in my studio recently, I make boobs to celebrate women out there and to remind us that being different and have unique body shapes is ok, but don’t forget to take care of yourself everyday.

Besos,

Teresa.

Now

Part of my constant practice is to balance my dreamy personality with the present moment, I keep reflecting and analyzing the absence and the presence of the people around me, I find this “antonym” fascinating, but not only that, is the experiences, the presence of nature and the emotions that I get to feel.

Living in the now is a beautiful and powerful experience, and I want you to try to do that too. I finally found the way to land safely in Planet Earth knowing that I can go back to my dreams, fantasies and adventures anytime I need to. NOW is a reminder for everyone to be here and to appreciate people, places and things we have in the moment.

Frágil pero fuerte.

Y después de todo,

ahi estas tú,

brillando con toda tu luz

a los pies del océano,

la brisa del mar acariciándote,

y la neblina

haciéndote lucir más bella que nunca.

y después de todo,

ahí estas tu,

frágil pero fuerte.

Sunrise dip

i’m feeling grateful for my health and full of life these days, this is been such a hard year for everyone but i’m truly convinced our life can get better when our intentions are genuine and when we put an effort to do things we enjoy the most. Our vibe is what attracts the energy we want.

The other day I went to receive the energy and sunlight from the first days of fall and I wanted to share that with you with a little video, I hope you get it.

Stay close to the water and be safe out there friends.

“Sunrise Rose”

As part of my neon roses series, here is my newly installed “Sunrise rose”, I was looking forward to bring this vision to life for a little while now and is so satisfying to be able to finally capture it here on the East Coast. Waves this day were beautiful, it was such a powerful morning, i’m grateful again for having water on my side.

Escapadas: Sam’s point preserve

Hello,

I’m here to share a wonderful idea for you to get out of the city for the day!, Sam’s Point preserve is a beautiful place to visit these days, located in a small town called Craigsmoor by the Minnewaska area, just about 2 hours north from Brooklyn. You can spend a few hours there hiking, doing a picnic or just be there admiring nature and feeling peaceful.
sad to hear that some trails are closed there tho, like the ice caves trail, so be informed about trail closures and other alerts, in the meantime these are my highlights.

Peace 🌾

Teresa.

SUN Rising

I wish I could live by the beach and be able to admire sunrises or sunsets from there more often, if you follow me on instagram you must know by now how much I share my love for these two phenomenons and how I like to light up neons at the beach too. Recently I went to Rockaway to photograph my newest neon rose called “Sunrise rose”, in that piece I talk about the ability to rise and become better, to grow and learn at the same time, to come from a lower place in your life to a higher position and more. Sun did not disappointed me, it looked so beautiful and a bit unusual to be honest, I will share the neon rose photo soon but in the meantime here’s this image.

Until next time,

Teresa.

Escapadas: montauK & Shadmoor state park

On a previous post I shared my shark dive adventure in Montauk but I didn’t tell you I had extra time to go for a short hike by the beach, so here are some images from that, this is such a nice trail to the beach, next time you go to Montauk make a stop at this state park, is so nice.

Short post!, see ya later,

Teresa.

Old studio views

escapadas: SHARK DIVE IN MONTAUK

Hey friends,

I recently went for a shark dive because I wanted to be close to sharks, i’m learning about their importance in the ecosystem and in our lives so this for me was very exciting! i’ve seen sharks but only in Aquariums. We’ve been taught that sharks are monsters because of many cases of sharks biting humans but the reality is that we are not part of their food menu and we’re not the prey they’re looking for. They’re the one species that keep the ocean healthy. Every single day thousands of sharks are being killed because of finning and other practices and they’re many species are endangered. Sharks are important and we must respect them as well as our dear ocean.

Sadly we weren’t able to see any except 1 shark fin that day so I’m gonna have to go back another time. I went with a company called Sea Turtle, based in Montauk, NY. I had a great time except the part when got seasick and ended throwing up multiple times haha, Captain suggested to swim in the ocean so I jumped in the water and that made me feel better, twice, amazing!

See ya soon Montauk.

NEON BOOBS: 3 STORIES

NEON BOOBS.png

I have 3 stories for you today.

All my boobies creations represent a woman and a story, today I posted on my instagram this photo below about 3 of my neon boobs artworks and I want to tell you about it.

From left to right:

1.- “Dominga”, that’s my abuelita’s name (RIP) she had big ones, so does my mom and of course, myself, thanks Minga (that’s how we used to call her) and all my big boobs ancestors haha, it wasn’t until a few years ago that i finally accepted the fact that i had big boobs and started feeling good about it. I grew up feeling ashamed of them, they were just so big, but these are the coconuts that I was meant to have so there’s nothing I can do about it. This piece talks about genes and heritage, generations and family resemblance from woman to woman.

2.- “Plus, we’re not perfect”, these are big boobs and uneven, because that’s normal, I’m talking about naturally plus size girls, a lot of plus size women aren’t happy with their bodies, even skinny girls aren’t but none of us are perfect and that’s okay, so let’s just try to carry that weight in the best possible and healthy way.

3.- “Bipolar”, to all of you with a bipolar disorder struggling everyday, going from one or many positive thoughts to negative ones, you’re still going to be loved, hang in there and ask for help, know the symptoms and talk to your family, I’m no expert and I don’t want to hurt anyone with my thoughts so I’ll stop right there because i don’t know how that feels like, but I will continue celebrating all of you chicas no matter what.


Light & Love,

Teresa. 

travels suspended

Hi guys,

I woke thinking about my adventures from last year and I had to to revive my road trip so I went to the Death Valley memories on my iPhone and oh la la, if you follow me for a little while now, you probably know how much I loved visiting Death Valley National Park, it was just so beautiful (and hot), I would never recommend enough. Is so nice to revive good times, thank god for technology huh?

The world is suffering and Mother Earth is angry with all of us, this is a sacred punishment that was sent to us and we need to acknowledge and must try to change for better and take care of ourselves and our planet. I’m really happy I was able to make this trip at that time, it was just right timing. I know things will get better someday and we’ll be okay if we take care of ourselves and others, really!, but in the meantime, no West Coast adventures until new notice, I had my trip planned to visit the PNW but travels are suspended. So all I have is my memories and trying to find new local adventures instead! Hey, i’m going to a Shark Dive next week and I can’t wait!!! Right on time for Shark Week.

Where are you traveling next in the US? What is your favorite National Park? When do you think we can travel again?

Light & Love,

Teresa.

BANDANAS

Hello,

I wanted to tell you about my new bandanas I have now available to shop!

See I’m a simple girl, I rarely wear makeup or heavy accessories, but sometimes wears very specific things like heart shaped earrings, seashell anklets or cowboy boots, yeeeeha!!! and my favorite thing: bandanas! I wear them around my neck or on my hair, depending on my mood and the rest of my outfit/activity, I like wearing. them on a fancy night or for go hiking, road trips, etc. Last year I was at my studio working and thinking I should came up with my own bandana design featuring one of my neon artworks and then I thought maybe I should use the roses I photograph at the beach as an inspiration and that’s when I decided I wanted to use the roses and a possible neon rose to extend my collection called “Soy las Rosas, you’re my ocean”.

I started playing and creating doodles on paper bond and created a board on a wall, months later in December I won an iPad, i’m no designer and I can’t draw well but I started playing and sketching on the iPad, I bought a pen too, is so much fun to use it, and I like where I was going with the ideas except I knew I needed help somehow! It was 2020 already and my goal was to have the bandanas ready for this Summer, it was going to be almost a year, I had everything figured out except the designs. We were in the middle of the Pandemic in March and I got a message one day from a dear friend through instagram, I think the universe sent him to me because he is an artist, graphic designer, illustrator, etc. It was Thiago asking me how I was ? and I knew exactly at that moment that we was the perfect person to help me with my bandana project, I told him about my ideas, I shared a board and my doodles and he was listening, he came up with these 3 designs that I love. So thanks to him my vision came to life, it was really great working with him! He vibes high, he is caring, creative, vibrant, unique, colorful, talented human and i’m so proud of him.

Please take a moment to know more about his work and I hope you like the bandanas and I can inspire you to wear them and spice up your style, you can go to my shop online or just send me a Venmo @Terebomba

Thanks for reading and extra thank you for your support,

Love & Light,

Teresa.

Charging batteries

Today was a hot day, I almost felt like I was about to give up the idea of my beach plans after a ride to Midtown, I barely go to the city anymore but I had to do a small job earlier there, I haven’t use the subway since March so everywhere I go I either bike or walk so crossing the Williamsburg bridge 2 ways on a Citi bike in one of the hottest days was no joke and on the top of that the inclination of the bridge is ahhhh!,but once I got back and got cool at home I packed my lunch and grabbed my camera and headed to la playa for a much needed recharging time, now i’m ready for another week of hard work, that’s another story about how people behave dining outdoors, I’ll tell you another time .

I wish the beach was closer to me so I can see the sunrise or sunset more often, in the meantime, enjoy some of the photos I took :) i’m no photographer but I like playing with the camera whenever I can.

Light & Love,

Teresa.
