I see and remember a beautiful place and one hour of calmness on my birthday afternoon. But behind the scenes are what felt like hundreds of incredibly itchy bites all over my legs. There are always two sides, there are always moments that cast shadows. But where there is shadow, there is light.

Yes—you can be the empowered creatrix, independent, assertive in her goals, embracing the divine masculine energy through inspired action.

And yet, you can allow yourself to soften—into the state of receiving, feeling, tuning in with your direct connection with Source as a life-giver.

I’ve come to understand it’s not one or the other—it’s a dance.
Shiva and Shakti. Masculine and feminine. Giving and receiving.

In today's society women are expected to be the go-getters—juggle three jobs and motherhood—and please look hella flawless doing it.
On the other hand, many spiritual teachings suggest a woman should lean entirely into her feminine energy: the nurturer, the Divine Mother, the wise Goddess.

I believe women born in this time chose to embrace both—and to learn how to trust their own discernment in finding the balance.
To take action in pursuit of their dreams—
creating, leading, speaking up, bringing change—
and returning to reside in the soft, pure, sensual, receptive and deeply connected nature of the Feminine.
To rise and rest.
Leading with truth and leaning back to be filled.

And the choice is ours alone.
We are the choreographers of this dance called womanhood in a masculine-dominated world.
Let’s dance together—as sisters.

Who am I? 🤔
Today in 2023, I am Julia Barminova, a watercolour artist. I live in Portugal 🇵🇹, on the Atlantic Ocean coast, near Lisboа. I love painting the sea and traveling the world to teach you my special technique. I also sail⛵️, learn skateboarding🛹 and surfing🏄🏻‍♀️.

Of course, it wasn’t always like this. Ten years ago, from the life I have now, there was nothing.

I remember the day I bought my first watercolour set. That’s when I got the dream of learning to paint and seeing the whole world, traveling with workshops. I was so far from it, practicing my first washes. (Hello, if you are now practicing your first washes right now 🙋🏻‍♀️).

I also lived in a very cold country❄️🥶 where snow falls for 5 months, and the sea is thousands of kilometers away from my city.

My dreams were like a point on a navigator, and every day I tried to take small steps - another painting and another painting, and one more, maintaining a blog on Instagram about my journey, learning English, studying sailing, exploring the sea. Most importantly, I learned not to be afraid and keep moving forward.

So now I just continue my work and I am delighted to see that I can inspire you too.
Well, It’s my story and I want to listen to yours. What’s your name? How are you? What are you dreaming about? Is this related to watercolours? What do you find for yourself on my Instagram? How can I improve it for you?

Даёте ли вы своему вину подышать перед тем как пить? ⁣
(🇬🇧 version in comments) ⁣
⁣
Давать вину дышать - это значит позволять ему быть в контакте с кислородом. Это даёт возможность его ароматам выражаться гораздо ярче и активнее. В винном жаргоне говорят : дать вину раскрыться 🤲⁣
⁣
Именно поэтому (невероятно, но факт) вино нужно открыть заранее, то есть позволить ему в течении некоторого времени насытиться кислородом (аэрироваться). 🌬 ⁣
⁣
СОВЕТЫ ПО ПОВОДУ АЭРАЦИИ ВИНА: ⁣
⁣
➭ Все вина могут нуждаться в аэрации : белые, розовые, красные, шампанские вина. Длительность аэрации может быть более или менее длинной. ⁣
⁣
➭ Чем больше вино насыщенно танинами - тем дольше его можно аэрировать. ⁣
⁣
ТЕХНИКИ АЭРАЦИИ: ⁣
⁣
➭ Самае простая🍷: Открыть бутылку за несколько часов до употребления. Поскольку, площадь такой аэрации лимитирована, нет никакого риска испортить вино. Кислород в данном случае приходит медленно, поэтому для некоторых вин эта техника может быть недостаточна. ⁣
⁣
История из жизни: днажды на дегустации один из виноделов привёз бутылки красного вина и открыл их за 4 дня (!!!) до самой дегустации 😱⁣
⁣
➭ Самая быстрая🍷🍷: Вращать вино в бокале. Все очень просто (и в то же время сложно, так как вращать нужно красиво и элегантно, чтобы случайно не забрызгать себя и сидящих рядом людей). Этот вид аэрации особенно хорош для оценки и диагностики закрытости вина. Эта техника прекрасно подойдёт для большинства белых и розовых вин. ⁣
⁣
➭ Требующая дополнительных ресурсов🍷🍷🍷: Перелить вино в графин для вина. Отличная техника для красных вин. Она позволяет вину соприкасаться с кислородом на широкой поверхности, благодаря чему аэрация происходит быстрее. ⁣
⁣
Обычно красные вина я открываю минимум за 2, а иногда и за 4 часа до употребления 😏⁣
⁣
❗️Но, осторожнее, не все вина отреагируют на кислород положительно. Старые вина могут испортиться, так как они более хрупкие чем молодые вина. .

What does presence mean to you and how does it factor into your life? When @malacollective asked me to write about this, I was in Australia creating meaningful connections and going to stunning places (shout-out to @irlife who captured this photo) and doing all the things that make me the happiest. I’ve found that when you choose to live life doing what you love, you will find yourself more present. And maybe for you that isn’t travel, that’s your family or your home renovation, or your diet and nutrition, and that’s totally okay. Find what you love in life and let your passions drive your decisions. Pay attention to the people, places, and things that don’t bring you happiness. Be present and show up for yourself and the people in your life. 🤍
