It's a rainy Saturday - a perfect museum day. Because you haven't lived until you've seen an ancient Costa Rican crocodile sculpture eat a tiny golden human. #costaricadailyboost . . . #jalealmuseo #museosdelmundo #museodeljade #chepeando #precolumbian #precolombino #costarica #thisiscostarica #sanjosecostarica #saturdayvibes #rainyday

Day 45: This logo belongs to @movimientoguardianes, and the wise words published by La Voz de Guanacaste this week belong to Guardians founder Jessica Sheffield. Link in bio to read what she had to say about women's leading role in protecting the planet, and to find out more about La Voz, Jessica and her projects - plus a weekly recap of the #costaricadailyboost. Happy reading and happy weekend! . . . @vozdeguanacaste #costaricachangemakers #movimientoguardianes #guardianesdelanaturaleza #guardiansofnature #women #womenfortheplanet #climatechange #fridaysforfuture @gretathunberg @cfigueres @ecoins_cr @costaricaporsiempre

Day 44: Tag a friend who is thinking about visiting Costa Rica! We need their help, and it's so easy - plus, it will save them an unnecessary expense. This one goes out to the many enemies of single-use plastics, and champions of beach cleanups and bigger solutions to the plastic nightmare. The momentum is growing!

I'm such a sucker for a nice traditional painted tin mug. Ideally chipped. #costaricadailyboost #exploringcostarica #falafel #yum #chepeando #sabana #lunchhour #gogreen💚

Day 43: Costa Rica is one big invitation to stop multitasking, but its capital, where I live, is the opposite. Last night I wrote 3,500 words of my Nanowrimo project on my commute home (I was dictating. But still). It's worse when we're with our kids. Juggling is part of life and parenting, but we all know when we've crossed the line from "have to" to "I could really put this down right now and nothing would happen except that I might enjoy this moment." Have you found any good ways to turn yourself back into a one-tasker? Does this photo of a hummingbird make you long to sit outside somewhere and gaze into space? Are you reading this while performing open-heart surgery? If any of the above are true, this is for you. 📷Mark Caunt via Shutterstock . #costaricadailyboost #wellnesswednesday #wellness #mindfulness #distractedliving #motherhood #parenthood #smartphone #costarica #hummingbird #beauty
