Traveling to…The Cascais Coast

August 3, 2017 · 1 Comment

Ever since I was a young girl, I knew of Cascais, a coastal town in the Lisbon area, known for its luxury mansions, celebrities, and VIP spots to be, the idealic location for soap operas to tell their stories. I had always wanted to visit, and finally did my second day in Portugal. It’s quite convenient that my uncle and aunt live within 30 minutes of many beautiful cities and lovely historical attractions. The best part, they live in a lovely beach town, making drives along the coast to different beaches a daily thing. Cascais was perfectly located on our way home from an enchanted morning in the Palacio da Pena in Sintra.

I had originally thought to share my trip to Cascais in my Sintra post, but didn’t want to overload you with pictures. Mostly I wanted to showcase this beautiful beach city all on its own!82-IMG_6286It was beautiful sunny Thursday afternoon in the end of May, and the city streets and beaches were brimming with people enjoying the lovely setting. There’s a reason Cascais is known as a “high end” and one of the richest cities in the country. On your drive along the coast you spot mansion after mansion, traditional historical architecture stunners that have been converted to apartments and beach homes. Some houses, grand atop beach cliffs, resembled palaces, and there was even a fort that has been converted to a diplomat’s home. The city itself is lively with restaurants and cafes at every corner, lovely boutique shops and the famous Casino Estoril, one of the largest in Europe.Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsTraveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsTraveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery Events84-IMG_6290Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsTraveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsWe wanted to make it home in time to garden before the sun went down and cook dinner, so I didn’t get to see the city center of Cascais in depth. But we did stop at several scenic site spots to wander and gaze out onto the stunning blue ocean views.Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsTraveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery Events95-IMG_7549Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsTraveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsIMG_922094-IMG_7541Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery EventsDuring our drive, my uncle would tell me stories of how things were in years past, including the beach they would frequent when their family was beginning to grow and my father lived with them.

I definitely plan on returning and actually walk around the town visiting the unique local shops and dipping my toes in well known beaches. Traveling to...The Cascais Coast | Dreamery Events

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨

Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
