puerto rico: la isla del encanto

puerto rico: la isla del encanto


puerto rico

Hello there! Wow, even though it was only a week, I feel like I haven’t posted in months. This past week my family and I went to Puerto Rico for a long awaited family vacation. We stood at a resort, El Conquistador, which we had only ever visited just once, because I suggested it (along with other destinations). The first time we visited, my dad’s friend’s wife was the manager and gave us a free pass to visit their private island, Palomino, which my mother loved so much. She didn’t really want to stay with family this time around, she just wanted to relax, so the resort it was.

As any inclusive resort, we pretty much spent our days resting and relaxing. We spent two day on the private island and two days at their cute waterpark. One day was an utter washout as it stormed all day long. We also went off sightseeing, only because the last time we came to Puerto Rico, my brother was two years old and didn’t remember anything. So, we took a trip to Old San Juan and visited both fortifications, El Morro and San Cristóbal, the latter of which I had never visited.

I don’t have much to say about my trip other than it was very relaxing and the island is very beautiful. Old San Juan seemed very different from how I originally remember it, but then again, a lot in Puerto Rico has changed a bit. The rough economy in the States really took a toll on the island’s own economy, which wasn’t very stable to begin with. Crime is still really bad, and though I didn’t see many gated homes this time around (we visited family the previous time), I’m sure there are many more on the island. It really a shame that most visitors to the island aren’t aware of all these social and economic problems on the island. Because the land is truly very beautiful.

But, I’m not going to get all political with this post. Here are a few pictures I’d like to share! I took over 200 photos and these are just a few of my favorites.

I think I might film an updated “My Current Journals” video just to share them all. I’ve got a few that I don’t think I’ve ever shared before.

It's really amazing to see how much my journaling has changed since I actively started creating and sharing. I'm very much about THE WORDS lately, but I've been itching to begin a journal just about THE ART. 

I treated myself to some new art supplies this past weekend. I'm hoping I can carve out some time to create art again just as I've been creating the time to write it all out.

Maybe I'll have a new art journal to share soon... xx

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
