the spa at the regent palms

the-spa-at-regent-palms-by-myseastory-1i’ve been living in turks and caicos for almost 4 year (scary) and honestly, i don’t know why it took me so long to try out the spa at the regent palms. i guess, deep inside, i like having things on my bucket list, and dislike the feeling of having done it all. i had visited the spa, and seen some amazing wedding settings, but last week i finally treated myself to a spa treatment. a few moments after having booked, i received a confirmation email, which i found both professional and helpful, since i tend to forget the exact time of my appointments.

our wedding anniversary weekend

my-sea-story-parrot-cay-1i know i’ve posted about parrot cay before but i don’t think i will ever get tired of visiting this beautiful island – we are so lucky to be a 20 minute boat ride away, and every reason to celebrate, we’re there!

so a couple of weeks ago, james and i went for the weekend, with the excuse of celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary, and we brought julia with us, of course ;) we were also visiting my cousin, who’s been living on the island for the past year and a half, and sadly will be leaving soon.

myseastory---food-for-thought-1there’s definitely a lack of healthy food options here in provo, so i tried melissa’s food for thought lunches over the course of a week. it’s genius – on friday she sends out lunch and dinner menus for the following week. and then every day we can pick up our meals at green bean or big al’s. not only did i feel great for eating healthy, but it was also nice not having to cook lunch.

here’s a recap of my five days food for thought lunches – Continue reading

my-sea-story-living-in-turks-and-caicos-with-a-baby

when i went home to portugal this summer, i got asked a lot of questions about my life with julia here on island. she was very clingy during our first days in portugal and my friends and family just assumed it was because she wasn’t used to socializing with a lot of people – you must be home with her all day – they said. little did they know… to help me with the baby blues, i was out all the time, so julia got used to coming with me for coffee with friends, baby groups and mid week lunches with james.

here are a few things that i like and don’t like about living in turks and caicos with a baby Continue reading

made in turks and caicos

my-sea-storyoccasionally, i get asked by readers and visiting friends – what souvenirs can we take home from turks and caicos, something typical from the islands that will remind us of our stay?  other than a conch, i love these colorful handmade baskets, made in turks and caicos. you can find them at anna’s art gallery in providenciales or at daniel’s cafe in middle caicos.
