That was my first adult beverage selfie in Mexico, sitting at the Playa del Carmen Pier waiting for ferry to Cozumel!

I was hot, sweaty and exhausted after the middle of the night wake-up, early flight to Toronto, horrible Pearson Airport rushed layover, flight to Cancun, horrendous lineups cramped like sardines, then bus... tired just thinking about it... but I had to take a pic to commemorate the occasion!!!

I'll be posting more shots from that photoshoot in following weeks.

I know I haven't been present, I've been sick for last few weeks. I was planning on doing daily stories until I realized it was going to be a bunch of vids of me looking like shit bitching how sick I was...

Thanks to those who checked up on me!
Only 9 days left of quarantine... haven't lost my mind yet (so far)

Who am I kidding, I've lost it a long long time ago 🤪

Next step: getting back into open water now that water isn't frozen anymore!!!

Warning, I'll probably annoy y'all with my vacation pics!! Lol

Last month I spent 2 and a half glorious weeks in Mexico. I got to disconnect and relax. Well as much as I could since I was still in school and it was the end of the semester (poor planning on my part 🤦‍♀️)

So here's my sister and I pre first tacos & guac at Playa Corona, where I spent most of my vacation.

Don’t rush to judgement based off of a single post. There’s always more to the story.

Life isn’t a headline. There’s multiple layers.

Never forget this.

Be curious about others.

If you disagree with somebody else, don’t jump to conclusions.

Try to learn why they think the way that they do. Ask questions. You’ll quickly see that there’s more to the story. And maybe you’ll even learn something.

So, today, and in the future, default to kindness.

Also, instead of jumping at any opportunity to tell somebody that they suck, try to find an opportunity to tell somebody they’re awesome.

Being kind is simply a better way to live. And I can’t help but feel that society these days needs more people to be kind.

Couple years ago when I was last on Cozumel I completely fell in love with a little shop that sold jewelry and beautiful crafts. The store didn't survive the pandemic, but I'm super excited the business still does exist and I was able to load up on 2 rings, another mermaid, and a few other cute things... and got my sis addicted too lol

Please check out their pages @ilovemexico_coz and @gemsbyilovemexico

I've also got stuff delivered to Canada, but can't beat local delivery right on Cozumel 😍, and meeting the lovely owner ❤

Hadn't received one of these in a couple years, between changing shops & the the rona, so I have to say it feels pretty special.

Special thanks to my PADI regional manager for putting up with me and my gazillion questions @charlesdupont_divetoday

2021 was pretty amazing as I got to start teaching the #padimermaid program and it's been so incredibly fun and really well received. I introduced a few people to freediving and trained some pretty spectacular PADI Pros.

I look forward to exploring a few very interesting opportunities that have come my way for the 2022 season. If you're interested in any courses I offer contact me asap as my schedule is starting to fill up!!!
