🇨🇦🛒 My Canadian shopping trip took an unexpected Portuguese turn… 🇵🇹😂

I went to Canada for a holiday. Apparently, I also went grocery shopping in Portugal. 🤷‍♀️

Today’s discoveries:

🛏️ Portuguese sheets — because apparently even my bed needs to speak Portuguese.

🍓 Portuguese jam — because you just need some fig jam to go with snacks before dinner.

🍪 Portuguese cookies — because one simply cannot be expected to survive abroad without biscuits from Portugal.

🍺 Portuguese beer — obviously. This one requires absolutely no explanation. 😂

🫒 A Portuguese olive dish — because when you’re thousands of kilometres from home, you need somewhere appropriately Portuguese to put your olives.

At this point, I’m beginning to suspect Canada is secretly just Portugal with better maple syrup. 🇨🇦🇵🇹

What if the ultimate luxury isn't more... but less?

Designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent traded city life for a centuries-old homestead in Portugal's Alentejo region, creating a beautiful retreat focused on family, nature, and slower living.

Their story is a reminder of why so many people are falling in love with Portugal—and the simple beauty of a life lived at a gentler pace.

Turns out caffeine + hot wax + ‘creative confidence’ is how you end up with candles that look emotionally unstable. ☕️🔥

🇵🇹 Dia de Liberdade | Freedom Day l Carnation Revolution

Today, we celebrate the courage, unity, and hope that changed Portugal forever. On April 25th, 1974, a peaceful revolution ended decades of dictatorship and restored freedom to the people. 🌹

Why is it called the Carnation Revolution?
Because as the movement unfolded, civilians took to the streets and placed red carnations into the barrels of soldiers’ guns – a powerful symbol of peace over violence that gave the revolution its name.

More than a historic moment, it’s a reminder that change can come through unity, bravery, and even the simplest gestures.
