I’m in eternal gratitude for having a roof where I can rest under and I can let my mind fly away in dreams. Yes I would rather be under the stars surrounded by the sound of the water but for now this works.
For how long will I be here? Where am I going next? Let’s find out, I’m trusting the force of nature, I never had so much faith like I have now, faith is knowing that your life is going to be alright no matter what. I feel that.

I love this print, I admire and respect Tracey Emin, she is an inspiration, I love the way she expresses herself and how she portraits her femininity and sexuality, she is raw and deep and not complicated, this is what she writes in this paint titled “I am the last of my kind”:
Missing this couple with all my heart, specially the handsome man right there.
I’m celebrating my life all the month or March, not that i don’t celebrate myself every other month but March is my birthday month, so is extra special, it’s been a wonderful time! it feels like somedays is similar to a wonder wheel effect, a fun and exciting adventure, a journey that involves taking decisions and learn from them, going up and have a better view and going down to earth too, right?, I’m taking care of myself more than ever and most importantly I get to appreciate life so much and honor my body, who carries my spirit, always near the water.
Sometimes I wonder why am I still in the East Coast, why am I in this part of the world if I could be somewhere else? I guess I can go anywhere when I feel like this place stops feeling like home, I dream sometimes in going opposite and live in the West coast who I love so much, maybe live in a Distant Island when I’m older, I’m definitely doing that.
I’ve realized that many things don’t happen to me so when they do happen I get to experience them in a way no one does and that’s one of my gifts, I truly believe that, I see the horizon with special eyes, I feel the water and I swim in it like no one does and I can finally say I have a special connection with the universe who I call force of nature, not God, but now I understand who God is. Crazy right?
I’ll tell you more about this another time.
see you soon friends, I hope you enjoy these photos I took,
love and light,
Teresa.

Besides the stress that a car brings you when it comes to parking, I wish I could have one so I could escape the city more often and I can bring my camping tent when it comes to go exploring the woods. Do you have a car you don’t want that could take me to the beach?
let me know!,

My birthday is coming up soon and I love daydreaming, I just thought a solid wish list of things I want for my birthday would help me to kill a couple hours today and will keep me motivated for the big day!. One of my goals for this year is to not buy anything that I don’t need, in reality I have everything I need and I will do as much as possible to stop consuming and spend money in material things, I rather spend money in experiences and other stuff that will help me to grow and appreciate what I already have. So, just for fun, here’s a list of things I would like but I can’t buy right now.
I hope you’re doing ok friends, see ya soon!
Teresa.
Can be a pair of bloodstones too, these are expensive but i’m hoping I don’t have to buy boots ever again!
I’ve had a couple of these in the past but never real gold!, I want this to last forevaaaa
These planters are so pretty, my plants would look beautiful in them, I know so.
I have some trips I need to do this year when is okay to travel again, how about you sponsor some of my west coast dreams?
I would love a new chair like this, do I really need it? I’m not sure but if you come to my apartment you will!
“Alexa, turn on the lights”
“Alexa, turn on the neon sign”
“Alexa, turn off the lamp”
Any coconut thing but this candle will keep my Hawaiian dreams afloat at home
Flowers is something I buy for myself at least once a month but once in a while getting flowers from a friend feels good too!
I love my camera and my 35mm lens but I need more!, so I think I have to upgrade my lens situation to a zoom one that will give me more versatility. I can’t buy this right now but maybe if you have one that you don’t use I will.
Specially if it’s from a woman I admire so much, Cheryl Strayed, I don’t know why I don't have this one but I want it.
“Get lost to find yourself”
Friends,
I’ll never get tired of express my gratitude to nature for showing me always the way… Today and tomorrow i’m choosing to expand my love, I’m listening, I’m being aware, being careful with my actions and reactions. Thank you for giving me shadow, Thank you for giving me light. I got lost but found myself, this is a process I will never stop doing until I feel I don’t need to anymore.
Today I listen my instinct and follow my intuition.
Today I learn, today I learn and accept.
What a beautiful journey life is.
I’m being. I’m being human.
Today I learn, today I learn and accept.
Let it be friends and please be.
:*
Hi,
I recently handed this beautiful and very specially made “neon boobs” for Gemma, she contacted me through instagram last year before my California trip to expressed how much she wanted one of these; so I made these for her and I was finally able to deliver this special work to her one day before a crazy snow storm in February!, we met at my studio in Williamsburg, she is such a beautiful girl with big bright and positive energy. I’m so honored to be able to bright up someone’s wall with a symbol like this that represents women, femininity and sisterhood. She brings joy for sure! Fun fact, she said she interviewed me a couple years ago for a school project she was working on about Female artists and now she plans on take that project to a book! So exciting, it makes me even happier to know that unique souls own unique art pieces.
Helium is such an unique noble gas, this photo below it’s close to how these glow in person but is not the same. The nipples were pink filled with Argon and Mercury and you can’t tell in this picture but they light up a baby pink.
So nice to meet you Gemma.
Have a great day friends, if you know anyone who would like to have their own neon boobs send them my way,
sending lots of electricity for you,
Bomba.
10mm filled with Helium and Argon/Mercury.
This is one of my most precious pleasures I have in life, we all have something we love to do that might seem a little odd sometimes but gives us a je ne sais quoi, don’t you think? Mine is taking roses to the beach and snap a few photos of them but this is something you already know about me, what’s new? haha.
This was beautiful day, i’m so happy i’m alive.
I’m so grateful for being able to create such uniques set of neon boobs for every women.
I admire and respect so much everyone’s personality, it’s fascinating. I also love how everyone has a different journey and walks in a different path but at the same time we’re all living this life and that connects us all somehow.
Very happy to share these beautiful neon boobs I made for a very special client.
Have a wonderful day,
Bomba.
I think these set is one of the most beautiful and authentic neon boobs I’ve made, in love!
The welcoming sunset.
Check this out!
How do I locate myself in the middle of being next to the ocean with skies filled with fire and a field where I can bloom creatively the way I want? I take a deep breath for now and I patiently wait for new opportunities, as long as I see a bright horizon ahead of me, do you feel me?
Love for everyone,
Teresa.
Sometimes I sit in my studio and just stare at the pieces I have there while I hear other people talk in a podcast or just music from my go to playlists. I think my bending skills have improved so much since I started my neon practice in 2015, what a wonderful craft, I get to play with fire, air and glass in the form of tubes, is such a great therapy. Please don’t doubt about asking for any questions you have or if you’re interested in taking some classes or how to get started in Neon.
This flower btw Is really small, maybe 10”X3.5” ish. I made it from a sketch I drew in 2019 I think…
“Given that the human soul is the very core of our human nature, we might note that, when we are guided by soul, we are guided by nature. Both soul and greater nature do guide us in our individual development, whether or not we ask for this guidance”.
— Bill Plotkin
As long as I have nature, I’ll be fine.

The classic sunset, the classic palm tree and the classic colors that never get old. Forever amazed by the beauty of nature.
Hi, these are 4 minutes of me swimming and hanging in the North Pacific in Southern California, I wouldn’t recommend you to hit play, if you do you’ll fast forward and that’s fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Please remind me always happy like this.
love,
Marimar.
I didn’t miss one single sunrise or sunset for 9 straight days, these photos here are for the first sunrise of my West Coast trip. I can’t believe there’s so much natural beauty in this life, I mean, look at those colors! I’m taking this moment to give thanks for having the opportunity to witness nature.

Hi friends,
That beach from my lenticular postcard is at Laguna!, I took this photo in March 2020, on Wood’s Cove so I wanted to have my postcard somewhere displayed on its original beach town!, these are some places I visit whenever I’m in Laguna, obviously my rose supplier flower shop, The public Library for great readings and the shipping store.
Thanks for letting me spread the vibe.
best, Terebomba!
