So with age comes insights and wisdom we all know that. One such new insight I recently came across is that it isn't very charming to roll around in the sand with a seductive look now when I'm above thirty and all (at least not in public) so I've removed the sexiest slash silliest parts of this, almost year old, introduction video (as well as the last few words at the end). Although sexy can be beautiful, it's always better when done with moderation, eh? Aah thank you Internet for letting me readjusting and cleaning up my little mistakes. This isn't to say that you shouldn't crawl around in the sand in public, just that it doesn't feel quite right for myself at this point. Everyone should do what they feel happy doing.
And when does episode 2 come out you might wonder? As soon as we have some peace of mind to continue shooting. We are currently busy preparing the boat and soon setting sail for another continent so right now is not an option. We have some half done video recordings ready but haven't agreed on which direction to go as yet and as we aim for perfection it might take a few more months till we have something good enough to show you.. you'll be the first one to know of course.

Most excellent video. Very well done. However, next video try to work in some verbal elements. We have been reading you and seeing you for so long - but have not heard your voices. Looking forward to the next one.
Oh my gosh Taru, this was so beautiful and so professionally done, I almost felt emotional as though I was watching a film. I really really love the end, and the part of the coral in your hands is beautiful. So alluring too the style. Contrary to other opinions, I love that there isn't any voice... It makes it so... Alluring and interesting because one has to visualize, rather than listen. Magic. Love love love.
You can be as sexy or seductive as you want. Under 30 or over 30 - do what makes you happy!
Of course Theresa! As long as it makes you happy you can do whatever you want to. And I am happier as it is right now :)
Beautiful video, it is both inspiring and relaxing at the same time. About your change of heart regarding posting pics of you looking seductive in the sand, I am so very curious to know why the sudden change. Age is just a number, can it really just be the fact that you are one year older? I wouldnt feel comfortable posting seductive pictures of myself because Im not entirely happy with my looks and therefore dont see the point to it. You look the same (to me) so I have a hard time believing it has anything to do with that. I cant really explain the really big amount of curiosity I feel right now, maybe its just a fascination of change, but I would appreciate an answer very much.
Marie: It is this single video only where I've had a change of heart, none of the photos or other videos which I'm very proud of. Also to remove that crawling-in-sand-part wasn't anything sudden that came to me now, it's been something I marinated in my mind for a long while. Not with too much attention, but still it's been bugging me a bit, cause it feels and is, unnatural.
You should know that this blog is made famous because of my half naked photos and that was the purpose so I must congratulate us for a mission well accomplished. But since we grow larger (the blog I mean, in terms of publicity and number of readers) I have felt that there isn't any reason to attract that sort of attention in an unnatural way. That said, you will still see the random bikini shots like always, in whatever sexy way they might be to anyones eye, but just not the crawling in sand kind of thing which I find a little over the top myself.
It's easy to continue doing things the way they've always been done as that's normally the easiest way to go, but sometimes, this goes for any business, project or even life, I think it is important to be able to make a pause and think of ways to reinvent ideas, to not get stuck in the same wheel forever. We get a lot of attention because of the sexy side of this blog already which I understand and since we've asked for it, we can't anything but be happy for it, but I kind of feel that I don't need to bring more attention to something that is so obvious anyway, if that makes sense.
Like I said, bikini photos will forever be a part of this blog, as much as wearing bikini is a big part of my life, but there are good ways and bad ways to show it and in this case I admit that it wasn't the most clever way to flaunt it.
I still think this post is beautiful for example, even though I in a way show more,

but somehow it feels more natural to me to be naked than crawling in the sand (motion picture) while trying to seduce the camera.
Thank you very much for answering my question! Happy New Year!
Det är en fin video med avslappnande energi men så tråkigt att det alltid skall framställas på ett visst sätt mellan man/kvinna. Alex är den aktiva, kör båt, fiskar, kitesurfar medan du framställs som den passiva som i princip bara badar.
Att du tycker att det är passivt (med negativ betoning) att bada och njuta av livet i lugn och ro, så får det stå för dig. Eftersom jag inte tycker det, så kan din kommentar uppfattas som kränkande. Man är bara ett offer om man själv gör sig till ett.
Om jag slipper ta hand om båten och fiska så är jag oerhört glad, så kan jag ägna min dyrbara tid åt att bada, läsa, skriva, fotografera och laga mat. Och surfa, kitesurfa eller köra båt när den andan faller på.
Även om jag ibland håller på med tråkiga saker såsom droppar ankare, så tycker jag inte att det är särskilt roligt, och varför skulle jag visa det på en film när det är typ det tråkigaste jag vet i världen? Eller måste jag lära mig att älska typiskt manliga sysslor, bara för att jag vill motverka stereotypiska könsroller? Kan jag inte bara få leva mitt liv som jag vill och som jag mår bra av?
Det är ett par mycket typiska glimtar från vår vardag som du ser här i den här korta videon, och det är ju tråkigt att någon utomstående skall se mig som (negativt) passiv, när det är typ precis så här som jag personligen anser mig vara fri. Alex gör mesta delen av båtjobbet, jag fotar eller filmar eller tar det allmänt lugnt. Vi har valt våra sysslor efter det vi tycker är passande för oss. Jag borde kanske lägga till en sekvens där jag serverar mat, det är ju en stor del av vår vardag och vilken jag valt för mig själv eftersom jag tycker om att laga mat och också servera den. Jag skulle inte vilja att Alex serverar mat, vem skulle då ha tid att ta hand om det tunga arbetet på båten? Tack och lov att han är villig och kompatibel nog att ta hand om det oerhört krävande jobbet.
Jag kunde så klart också lagt in en sekvens där man ser mig fotografera, skriva eller editera bilder på datorn för att bevisa att jo men visst, jag jobbar jag också - men det verkar ju töntigt att man ska behöva bevisa sådana självklarheter. Och bilden av datorn i ett paradis skulle knappast uppfattas som frihet, och en lättsam känsla av frihet var just vad vi ville visa i den här filmsnutten.
För övrigt är det inte Alex som kitesurfar på videon, kanske är det en kvinna, vem vet eftersom vi var så långt ifrån dem när de flög förbi? Bilden av kitesurfarna står för frihet, precis som fågeln, att du antar att kitesurfarna är män, har egentligen ingenting med verkligheten att göra, det är endast ett antagande du gör för att du eventuellt tycker att det är en "manlig" sport och återigen, den bilden är något du själv får stå för.
Absolute perfection!
I like the updated version, rolling in the sand is a weeny bit cheesy, but if you want to ramp up the sexiness without getting crumbed, try modelling some Wicked Weasels some time! You'd look great in them.
This is just gorgeous, Taru. It took my breath away. Do you mind sharing where the beautiful background music comes from? xo
