Hello! You might have noticed I went a bit MIA in the last few weeks… well, there’s a valid reason why! If you follow me on Instagram or via my newsletter, you might have heard the news already. But this month, one week ago to be exact, I finally launched my new business and website and I’m officially…

SELFCARE With Valentine’s Day and January just gone by, February is usually the month when I think a bit more about self-love and care. I can hardly remember to treat myself to something nice these days, so discovering BuddyBox* this month was a breath of fresh air! I’ve never been one for subscription boxes, but I…

Usually, I’m a volcano. I am a creative at heart and it’s not a big secret by now, and I have all the ideas all the time, always feeling so annoyed days only come in packages of 24 hours and finding myself frustrated that there’s just too little time to do it all. This last month…

Organic Relax Vata Tea – Pukka ; Algae Omega 3 ℅ NothingFishy FOOD + HEALTH You know I love my nighttime teas, and I just needed the perfect excuse to incorporate the same flavours and scents in my everyday tea. So this Pukka option, featuring organic chamomile, fennel and marshmallow root, totally felt very appropriate…

In my New Year’s Resultions this January, I purposely avoided any reading goals. In the years I’ve learnt I’m not good at setting specific goals just in general, and this mainly applies to books and readings. However every January I’m extremely motivated to start new reads, and this is the time of the year, together…

Well hello there! I hope you’ve had a good start of the year so far! This being the very first post of 2017, I though I’d stick to the bloggers cliché of writing down some New Year’s resolution and start a chat about a few of the things I’d like to achieve this year. In…

Oh hey! Hope y’all have had the loveliest Christmas and Boxing Day! I spent both in bed with a terrible flu, but was spoilt to the very best presents and some heartwarming love, so I won’t complain! A couple of days before Christmas we took some time to test our Holiday’s table setting with the…

Can you all really believe Christmas is THIS week?! Or is it just me? I really don’t know where December is going, it still feels like it has just started. This is my very favourite period of the year and I always want enjoy it all at its fullest as much as I can: I…

If you know me just a tiny bit, you’ll know I have a passion for loungewear and pyjamas especially! To me, there’s not a particular season to be a PJs lover, but comes wintertime and I’m all about staying cosy and warm and curling up whenever you can spot the occasion to. Last month I…

To me tea is art. It’s slowing down, warming up. It’s taking the time I need to stretch out and recharge. Anyone who knows me will confirm I don’t go one single day without at least one cup of tea! It’s a habit I’ve learnt to grow years ago, but it’s not actually been always…

Everytime I start something new, I can immediately tell if it’s something I’m going to be obsessed with. And this is exactly how it went when I started this “learning to knit” thing of mine! I’m such a granny, I know, I know! But everything that calls for an endless number of cups of tea, layers…

Soft Peachy PJs Set – Chelsea Peers ; Sleepy Body Lotion ℅ Lush Nighttime The more we get close to proper Winter, the more I feel the need of wrapping myself in a cosy blanket, drink hot tea and spend time inside. Of course to do so one needs a big amount of PJs, so yes, I stocked up…

It is amazing, isn’t it?, how easy spending money can be in 2016 when you can buy things with one click online and have them delivered at your door the next day! Still, I am a huge fan of shopping on the internet and believe, if you do it consciously, there’s no better thing that’s…

You might remember last year I wrote a feature on Brother and how to implement one of their labellers in your daily life, and today I’m pretty excited to collaborate with them again to bring you four new ways to use a labellers as a personal organizer and try and be creative with it in…

This Mint&Berry mini crossbody bag (similar here) was exactly what I was after and I loved the Cognac colour as soon as I saw it! But moving from a huge shopper to a tiny bag was kind of traumatic: I was used to carry my whole house and more with me all the time all summer…

I can’t really express how excited I am about Autumn this year! I have been looking forward to the season of chesnut-picking hikes, orange leaves everywhere, cosy blankets and sweaters and countless cup of tea so very much recently that I might or might not started being a bit impatient for the weather to get…

This year I was lucky enough to spend my birthday in Tuscany, in one of the most beautiful coves I’ve ever seen, but that meant we hadn’t some proper time to celebrate. Yes, I bought myself cake for breakfast (of course!) and had a lovely dinner-for-two at one of the cosy restaurants facing the local harbor…

If there’s one thing I always end up realising when I go on a holiday to relax and switch off, is how difficult I find enjoying myself outside of my little world of routines and working non-stop. Even at weekend, because before having my break in August I felt so guilty about it that I…

Oh photography! We all love it, one way or another, we all take pictures daily nowadays and have our phones and computers storage full of memories. It’s so absurd to think just a few decades ago people would still rely on films and that a few decades earlier people wasn’t even able to take its…

If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you’ll know I’ve been obsessed with Skillshare for quite some time and have been suggesting it a lot lately! Whether you’re a creative and like a bit of DIY, a designer and want to learn new topics in your sector or simply someone who likes art and learning new…

Oh, picnics. There’s anything nicer and more summery than spending the morning in the kitchen putting together your favourite portable recipes, filling up a basket and heading outside to eat on the grass? It has been three years that I have had the perfect picnic all planned in my mind (recipes, decor and even what I…

OITNB ; Paper Fairy Lights – Maison Du Monde Life Like the rest of the world, this month I’ve been *obsessed* with Orange Is The New Black. For some reasons I realized I still had a few episodes from last season to catch up with, so as soon as the new season has been released earlier…

I’ve been complaining about the weather for weeks now, saying how sad it was that Summer should have been around since a while but all we got was nice-ish mornings and sad rainy afternoons everyday since the beginning of June. But then, you know what, Summer wasn’t *officially* started just yet, so there were reasons…

As soon as the warmer season come around I can’t help but have my mood at its best all the time, and myself feeling extremely positive and full of energies. Not to talk about the highest levels of creativity making their appearance all of a sudden! Running a creative business, I always try and make the…

I’ve eyed up Frank Body scrubs a little while ago but having so many scrubs to go through already, I decided to give them a go only recently. Being my first time with their products, their The Grind High Club kit sounded so appealing to me, giving me the chance to try out four different mini coffee scrubs at…

A couple of months ago I talked about my very first experience with Teagime and teatox programmes just in general, and since then I’ve actually been drinking my blends quite religiously everyday (although I must admit, as the weather is getting warmer, I sometimes forget about my nighttime cup) and have also received my new box…

On our very last day in Rome we had time to kill until our flight in the evening and went on a mission to find the most picturesque streets, gardens, and breathtaking views on the city to take the very last pictures of our staying. We said goodbye to beautiful Rome with the brightest, warmest,…

From the very first minute we were there, I knew why they call Rome “the eternal city”. Rome it’s deeply fully drenched of history; the kind of history you can still see with your own eyes even during a bus jorney from the airport to the city centre. Rome has pieces of history scattered everywhere,…

Around one month ago we decided it was about time to switch off for a few days and finally travel again. And kind of “impromptly” booked a trip to Rome for the end of April! I was being so busy with catching up with lots of work that when it came time to pack and…

I have written about what I like to keep on my bedside table and my bedtime rituals not long ago, but since then, and since I’ve been having some difficulties falling asleep at night lately, things have changed a tiny bit in my routine. I’ve added some new products that seem to work wonders at inducing sleep…

I can not express my love for Spring weekends at words! There’s nothing more lovely to finally have a sunny weekend day all for yourself after spending the whole week looking forward to it, and enjoying the hours of beautiful light outside doing things that involve nature, soil, fresh flowers, tidying, and all those things that…

Springtime is officially with us and there’s really nothing that could make me happier, if not enjoying Spring season allergy-free. I’m being quite lucky this year with my allergy being very light until now, but I know how traumatic allergy season can be. I’ve been living with pollen allergy for years, with runny nose and itchy…

Exactly one week ago I was up and about for a trip to Milan on my very own for the first time in what seems like ages. I had my camera with me because I was heading to a Lush blogger event, and it took me half a second to realize Spring was finally showing its…

You might know by now I’ve always been a morning person since I was a little girl. I’ve always enjoyed waking up early to get to appreciate the morning light at its fullest and I’ve always thought mornings are when my creativity hits its highest points. I love everything about early mornings, I enjoy waking…

It has been a very long while since the last time I sat here typing down a little life update for this blog! Or that I asked you what you’ve been up to lately. Apparently I’m not good with consistency when it comes to monthly blog series, so this year I decided I won’t keep…

It hasn’t been long since I started enjoying the whole bedtime process. I used to stay up until late night at my laptop or watching TV or using my phone, which I came to realize wasn’t really ideal just before bedtime. Beside keeping me up until late, it also didn’t allow me to rest well…

I don’t know about you but the sunny weather of the last few days is making me think about Springtime a little bit too often. This softly warm sun heat is actually making me crave proper Spring even more! You’ll know I’m always very excited about the change of season, but this time it’s more…

I’ve always been a morning person ever since I was a little girl. There’s no way I can manage to sleep until late morning or afternoon, even if I’ve been awake for most of the night: to me, not waking up early is missing on the best, most productive part of my day, I’d end…

With Valentines Day behind the corner, shops dusting off all the lace lingerie and chocolates, I don’t know about you but I’m feeling the love! I actually never used to enjoy Valentines Day but at a certain point in my life (and no, not since I’m not single anymore) I came to realize that besides all the…

Flu and cold season is upon us and as if a full awful week of illness back in October wasn’t really enough, I caught another cold last week! I’ve spent most of my time feeling horrible and laying in bed, because if I get a cold I get it in full force (if you’re one…

I believe in the power of makeup and clothes. They might seem insignificant but we girls know what a nice foundation, a pair of jeans that just fits very nice, comfortable but beautiful shoes, a radiant red nail varnish or lipstick could do to our confidence. Yet what I’ve learnt in the past few years…

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up ; Enjoy The Little Things Candle – Maisons du Monde I’ve been reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up since a couple of weeks now and I’m not finished yet, but I’m in love with it! The approach to tidying up and discarding Marie Kondo teaches through the pages of her book is…

I’ve already shared my love for the Balanced App and the importance of treating yourself more often in a recent post, and since starting using that app and writing that article especially, I’ve started getting into those activities I love doing but somehow I always find myself too busy for actually practicing them. I realized what I…

If you read my blog since a while, you would have seen tuns of mentions about tea in my posts – it’s just no secret at all that I love a cuppa every now and then. Or even more often. I like all about tea. From the boiling and pouring actions to the very first…

Check out Great Apps to Boost your Creativity by Giada at Mode The best thing about upgrading my iPhone after so long (apart from new emojis)? Being finally able to have enough storage to download all those apps I’ve always felt I couldn’t live without. First on the list, anything that could help with my…

As the new year started I downloaded the Balanced App on my phone, and with my usual way to intend things, I thought I’d start to use it to force myself to do things I need to do more as if what I usually do is not enough. It was only when notifications started to appear on…

First post of 2016! And first post after not blogging for what it feels like ages: then happy New Year everyone! I’m a strong believer that setting big goals for the year ahead is more counterproductive than anything else, with great goals tendency to become overwhelming or making you feel you actually didn’t do it during…

Even though I’ve never been a massive movies lover, over the past year or so I’ve come to love occasional movie nights, especially impromptu ones that include homemade popcorns or, around this time of the year, an indulgent whipped cream topped hot chocolate. I’ve never been one that loves to sit in front of the…

Whilst I missed the appointment with my latest monthly favourites, and since I’m feeling the festive spirit quite a lot, I thought it was the perfect time to gather up some festive favourites of mine for this blog. So here are a few things I’m loving lately… The December Issue of The Simple Things – Although…

When Christmas is around, I almost always forget Winter doesn’t start before the 21th; but while Winter solstice is still a week away from us, it’s surely starting to feel a lot like Winter indeed! Every change of season I always marvel at how thoughtful nature was when deciding when us human would be (not…

Make some tea Tea is the sweetest healthy treat you can ever ask for on a chilly winter day. Needless to say I’m a fan of all things tea, from tasting and trying new flavours, to the simple classical ritual of pouring, stirring and sipping. There’s no better thing than a hot cup of tea…

Today’s post is all about gift ideas for all the men in your life! I know for a fact that buying gifts for men is one of the most dubious yet fun thing to do, but finding something they would really appreciate is a whole other thing, isn’t it? That’s why I asked for the help…

With Christmas less than one month away (anyone else excited?!), and the sales just around the corner, it’s definitely time for me to share some gift ideas, if any of you need some inspiration! I know for a fact that a gift guide is just the best thing ever existed when you need some Christmas…

First of all, as with the recent email I sent to all Miel Café’s newsletter subscribers, I hope these lines meet you in a safe and happy time. Hope you all are well! *** This is my favourite time of the year: with Christmas around the corner (can you even believe it?!), it’s already time to get our minds…

Before being introduced to Brother I would have never thought a labeler could have ever come somewhat of useful in my daily life (yet I say I’m an organized person!) but I of course jumped at the chance to try one of them out on a daily basis and accepted the challenge to use a…

With the first day of Autumn behind the corner, I realized it was probably about time to print some of the pictures we took this Summer and also edit the small pieces of video we took when we were on holiday, but also to share them on here before it’s a little bit too late…

Beach bag – Similar Shall we talk beach bags?! I’ve a thing for stripes, that’s for sure, and navy too. So when I spotted this Stradivarius beach bag (similar) in the sales, and knowing I’d have needed one as my previous beach bag was old, boring and pretty worn-out, I couldn’t help but get it! And I’ve loved…

We’re back, back to the usual, back to work, to homemade breakfasts, to the same desk and the same laptop, and August’s already come to an end. I can’t really believe how fast time runs when you’re having a well-deserved vacation, even more than the rest of the year, which is flying by so quickly…

Whilst the first two weeks of our staying in Lignano were super hot and sunny, so much that all we were able to think of was the pleasure to immerse our bodies in the sea, the last week saw a couple of scary thunderstorms and gloomy days, which didn’t stop us, though, from visiting and…

As much as I like country living and big cities, and as much as I’d prefer visiting a big capital as a vacation of choice, sometimes the seaside just calls my name so loudly. I didn’t even ever thought I’d enjoyed getting back to a classical relaxing kind of holiday that much. But these past three…

In July we decided to take a couple of weeks off from working non-stop and get back to enjoy those simple things that just didn’t fit into our routine anymore: like having a mexican dinner cooked from scratch, a cinema night at home, a walk outside, just those things that you forget about when you’re…

Whoa! These last two months have flown by, literally! I feel like I need to try and explain where I have been these last few weeks and the reasons behind my absence, but all I can say is that work has been the main priority for most of June and July and I’ve decided to take…

As much as I’d want to be as present as in other seasons on this blog, comes summertime and I always seem to find a tiny bit less time to type things down on here! It’s not that I’m planning to not updating this blog for a month or two, not at all!, it’s just…

Not sure I’m ready to say goodbye to springtime and see it in a whole year (Spring is by far my favourite season, and I always feel a bit nostalgic when I see it go to leave place to summertime, with its hot long days and irritating mosquitoes!), but surely I’m ready to say bye…

As with literally every single season, I’m excited for summertime to come around! I’m not the biggest fan of the heat and the mosquitoes that characterize Italian summers, but nothing can beat the still fresh air of an early summer morning, the iced lattes, the extremely delicious juicier fruits, lighting lanterns in the evening outdoor, the golden…

Notepad – Muji; Pens – Muji STATIONERY I’ve shared my obsession for stationery just recently, but even this time I couldn’t *not* take the chance to share some new favourites! I’ve discovered Muji pens a couple of months ago and I keep asking myself how could I have lived 20 and more years of my…

Hey May, where have you gone? I haven’t have enough time to even think about summer vacations that June is already here between us in a couple of days! I’ve been so immersed in projects and work and life issues that this year is seeming to pass by way too quickly to me. May has…

I’ve been blogging since a while now, and also am running a small business at the same time, but only recently I’ve found a great routine to plan, schedule, write, work, publish and create, all of this while also staying organized. Most of it is thanks to some great (and mostly free) online tools, websites…

You’d know by now that I have a little something for pretty stationery. It all started with one notebook or two, a pen and than another, and now I just can’t seem to stop hoarding cute paper goods. I tend to justify it as “I need it to, you know, stay organized when I work/blog”…

Recently we’re getting into the habit of waking up bright and early, putting ourselves together and head to our usual and favourite bakery for breakfast on a weekend basis. It feels such a treat, especially since they have the crispiest yet softest, most buttery croissant and the sweetest airy latte foam you can ever dream…

The thing with blogging is that sometimes you just want to take photos at literally everything you do/wear/eat and do a blog post about it; but the things I do/wear/eat sometimes are too many to be shared on here and I end up to pile post drafts in a forgotten archive. Those are fated to…

Can you believe April is already over? It feels like yesterday that I was trying to sort out how to finish up my Easter chocolate and to who I should have given some of my chocolate gold bunnies as I had too many! Yet meanwhile Spring has officially sprung, shoes and clothes for the new…

I seem to always complain about if it’s too cold or too hot! These pictures are dated back to last month, when the sun was warmer for the first time this year and we went for a one day trip to Milan with only one thin layer on (a thin flowy dress for me actually!)…

How can’t you love the time of the year when you’re able to spot kilometers of beautiful yellow fields and the sky is that clear and blue that you can even see the mountains in the distance? Not to mention the refreshing beauty of the not too cold not too hot weather that fills the…

I guess you’ll be tired by now to hear me rave about IKEA that much, or maybe not, maybe you’re fans of the Swedish best invention ever too? When I hear people saying they never visited IKEA because there’s not a store near them, I feel such a lucky girl to be able to go…

Happy Easter! A little postcards post from our little family to all yours – we really need to start a family tradition and do these for every festivity! We hope you all can have a joyful Easter jam-packed of chocolate eggs, fluffy bunnies, walks and smiles. * Gold Bunnies ℅ Lindt (check out their limited edition…

If there’s a season I love, it must be Spring. With its colours, pink blossoms everywhere, the warmer but still fresh air, longer days and brighter sunlight (and the list could go on and on – read here for more!), there’s no need to wonder how it’s able to boost positivity and sweep ‘meh days’…

March is already over! Can you really believe it?! I’m ready for the new month to come though, as April is by far my favourite time of the year; with Easter, spring coming to its climax, a few exciting opportunities ahead and my blog’s birthday, how couldn’t I be as excited as ever for it…

I don’t know about you, but I’m super ready for April! As much as March has been a nice month (not extremely beautiful and with ups and downs as usual, but not too bad as well) and the weather has been getting lovely, I’ve stepped outside the house today and was welcomed by the most…

After a feet-wrecking busy day up and about in Milan on Saturday (pictures of that day are on their way and will be on the blog soon!), we slept in super late Sunday morning, woke up and ate fresh croissants for breakfast, then kind of wanted to skip lunch (but we didn’t), just for finding…

Chinese Style Tea Set ℅ Moooh!! I’m such a fan of tea, I’ve not always been – there was a time when I always politely declined any hot tea offers when I was at someone else place – but growing up I’ve started enjoying the art of boiling, infusing, pouring and relaxing with a warm…

I’m a creature of habits and I live by routines. Everything I have to do, I need to plan it ahead and the only things I feel at ease at doing are ones I do everyday on repeat. There’s something so nice and comforting in knowing exactly how your day will go, that you’ll go…

With this blog of mine and my little design business coming to one year of existence in less than a month, I’m so enthusiastic about how things turned out for both of them. I’ve been extremely busy designing blogs, headers, creating illustrations and coding templates this past months that either I can’t remember when I…

None of my thumbs are green, seriously, and I might be the least appropriate person to write a gardening tips post, but one thing I’ve learned this last few years, is that a green thumb can surely be grown! Plants I was buying used to die after only a pair of weeks and fresh flowers…

I’ve already introduced you to Woodbuds once, but it was about time I shared the love for these earphones and the company behind them by going a little bit deeper! I’ve scrolled through their Instagram way too many times recently and these pictures were in fact inspired by them, by their philosophy and the idea…

As much as January‘s been a tough month, I’ve tried and approached February in a slightly more positive way. I need the warmer weather to be here so badly, the winter blues’ve totally hit me recently and only on the odd warm spring-like days I totally felt renewed! I’m super excited for the new month…

There’s something lovely about weekends, setting the to-do lists aside and purely enjoy some free time the ways you like it to be. Sleeping in, heading over our favourite bakery for breakfasts, forgetting about work for a few hours and simply doing things that free our minds for a day, is why we love weekends…

You might have caught our little Valentine’s Day guide to the perfect cozy and casual date and might have guessed our date of choice is one spent inside, being cozy and doing something cute and creative together and this is exactly what we planned for Valentine’s Day this year – nothing too fancy, just the…

For years I haven’t been a fan of Valentine’s Day and thought it was such an overrated and commercial date, not to mention how sad it is to spend it alone if you don’t have an actual partner! This until a pair of years ago, when I realized Valentine’s Day might be superficial and a…

Whoa, wait, is it the last day of January already? It feels like 2015 has only started yesterday! January wasn’t my favourite month, however I’m pleased to say I was able to try a lot of new things that obviously could make to my monthly favourites, and yes, this includes a lot of chocolate but…

January is definitely not one of my favourite months: with the whole going back to the usual routine, feeling you might have gained a few extra lbs during the Holiday that you need to fix, the grey and cold days, things can be a bit stressful and depressing. We were lucky to see a bit…

Don’t know about where you live, but here in Italy the weather is being pretty unusual: we’re enjoying a few very sunny days lately, which are quite different from what January usually looks like around here and the temperatures are also very enjoyable and almost remind me of spring already! As much as I like…

I get so envious when I hear people saying “I’ve already lost 5lbs since New Year!” so maybe it’s finally time to put all the Christmas chocolate away and roll up those sleeves getting healthier with a January detox! It’s no secret I’ve been particularly lazy the past pair of months, and it’s one of…

With my last post we can say I’ve closed 2014 chapter and am ready to officially say hello to the New Year on here too! Yet I’m still quite enjoying all my chocolate from Christmas… All in all, 2014 was a good one to me – yes, I’ve seen better years before where health issues didn’t…

Now that 2014 is done and dusted and we’re all ready to welcome 2015 in, I have one last post to honor a few of the things that made my 2014 a very nice year. These are the best discoveries I’ve made the past year, that really needed to be shared: some of them are…

I know I’m a tiny bit late with these monthly favourites, but the Holidays have kept us all super busy as you might have guess by the lack of presence over here! Christmas and the festive period are my favourite time of the year, so this time I thought I’d honor the Holidays spirit a…

A pair of days ago, when Christmas was done and dusted, we had the pleasure to see the first snow of the year! I mean, the snow can be a pain in the ass if you are stuck somewhere and need to use a car, but otherwise I can’t help but loving it. The air…

Hey there! Hope y’all have had a very lovely time these past few days! In my last catch up post I told you I was going to come back pretty soon with a new update about my Christmas: deciding where to stay on Christmas day was not so easy, but in the end I spent Christmas eve…

{ 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 } It’s been a long while since we had our last catch up so it’s about time to share what’s going on in our lifes now that Christmas is behind the corner. I’ll go first! This year, Christmas got me hooked: I started being excited about it around…

Last Thursday we had a busy but lovely day in Milan to attend the grand opening of the H&M’s Italian flagship store in the Duomo area, which meant we have waited a good hour standing in the cold and watching a big red countdown screen. Luckily the weather was pretty nice, but even though the…

Last on the homeware front are the beautifully-made Duvet Cover Sets from H&M Home. I must admit I’ve a weakness for anything from the home section of H&M – but if there’s one thing they do well that is for sure the duvet sets’ designs (they’re all so beautiful!) and since when I tried my…

The previous pictures are from yesterday’s afternoon when we decided to head over to town to embrace the Christmas spirit by browsing through the cutest Christmas markets. I’m such a fan of the festive period and any festive printed/themed thing that if there’s one thing that can make me willing to face the cold and…

Gay Fantasy Tea Cup Birdfeeder ℅ For All We Know I might not be the biggest china hoarder, but I could spent hours browsing through a fascinating ceramics shop and adding tea cups to my list of things I need to buy when I’ll have a home for my own. Especially if we’re talking vintage. Anyone else?…

life & food ; I feel like my boyfriend buys me panda-shaped things every month, but in October he bought me this super cute Panda Cookie Mug from LennyMud on Etsy and I’m in love! I love the cookies compartment that makes my tea time even sweeter and the little heart in there… oh, how cute! A good pairing…

SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES September is my favourite month of the year and not only because it’s my birthday month, but also because it’s when the weather is still nice but start to be crispy and chillier, not to mention I love when autumn starts to be around. It literally flew by, I can’t believe it’s already…

THE BLOGGER Something I love is getting to know something more about the bloggers behind my favourite blogs, and I just realized that even though I often talk about me in my posts, I never really dedicated an entire post to allow you to get to know me a little bit better. So here are…

I’ve already introduced you to this amazing garden before and if you’ve read me for a while you’ll remember how many times I mentioned I wanted to visit it. This summer wasn’t helpful with its always cloudy and rainy weather, but we somehow managed to find the perfect hot summer day to visit it and…

Being that I spend most of my time sitting at a desk and typing codes and words on a daily basis, it feels pretty weird I’m pretty much the only one who didn’t shared her workspace yet. So here is the thing: as much as I would love to own a Pinterest worthy workspace, I don’t…

This is part two of two of our little experience in the nature we had almost three weeks ago now (read and see Part I). As we went deeper into the trees we found some amazing natural and semi natural little waterfalls as well as an old tiny wooden bridge, lots of trees, leaves and…

A few days ago I got to stay at my boyfriend’s place a few more days and on one rare sunny Sunday afternoon we decided to go for an excursion to admire and walk through the beautiful green spot we had right behind the corner. I can’t deny it was a long painful walk and…

I was so happy about July and sad about letting it go that I didn’t think it was possible for the new month to be as good, but August was so nice and definitely on top of my list of favourite months this year! Last month I said I was secretly enjoying that summer never…

I’m turing 21 today but I am a little bit sad of leaving my twenty-year-old self behind being that this past year was full of beautiful moments, tough times that evolved in something good, a lot of changes and happy feelings and this is probably the first time I can find positivity in everything that…

A few more pictures from our most recent day trip to Milan that we had exactly one week ago. As I said in the first post about this day trip, we were not lucky enough to find Brera’s California Bakery open (I was really craving a piece of cake and was very disappointed when I found out…

I’ve noticed you enjoy reading about little day trips like this and since I particularly enjoy sharing my pictures and what I do, this is another mainly illustrative post but a lot of more pictures are coming your way later this week (just so you are not plagued by a lot of pictures all at…

A little list of things that always make me feel refreshed and renewed both body and soul wise: . Cleaning; . A hot/fresh shower (according to the time of the year); . Exercise; . Healthy meals; . Refreshing skin mists; . A new hair cut; . Hot baths; . New clothes; . My cleansing routine…

As you probably already know from my One Year Together post, we had our first anniversary last week and you also probably can remember we met in Milan the very first time one year ago; so for our first anniversary we decided to re-live it all like it happened the first time, and met in the exact…

Last week we stayed at my boyfriend’s sister place and she had this beautiful 1500 pieces pasta puzzle to be finished and hung in her kitchen; I never thought I could be a puzzle fan, but I loved making it (and I’m also pretty good at it, ha!), it was pretty relaxing and never ever…

I’m sad July it’s over, it was such a lovely thoughtless month and I secretly liked the rainy weather which has not abandoned us for a day most of the times being that I’m not a huge fan of summer’s Italian heat and was a lot more comfortable in a fresh weather. It was also…

I feel like we know each other since a few long lifes ago which is not completely wrong, but me and Ale actually met exactly one year ago. I know it has only been a year, but it was our year and for what is worth, it was so important to us to be able to spend…

It doesn’t happen to us pretty often to have a concrete time to have a classic date in the evening like a dinner and a movie kind of thing, being that we don’t live close to each other and that we always have to leave early in the evening for the last train. As you…

This week both me and Ale feel super lucky to be able to spend a whole week (and more) together as, as you probably already know, we live a sort of long distance relationship and it’s always nice to have some quality time to spend together instead of our usual dates that never last more…

One thing I love about spring and summer is seeing my garden becoming a colorful paradise when flowering starts. A few days ago I woke up pretty early in the morning and went out and found this amazing heaven of flowers right after a summer night storm – I don’t know about you, but I…

Being that we already are coming at the end of June, I’ve rounded up all the things I’ve loved this past month, and this time I have a few beauty but also non-beauty favourites I want to share with you, and some will come with no surprise if you’re a faithful reader of this little…

Have I an insane obsession for notebooks, stationery and little books? Yes, I know. But as soon as I saw the One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book (£10.99) on Amazon, I just knew I had to get it. Lucky enough my boyfriend was super kind and sweet to order me one copy which made a…

Both me and my boyfriend favourite time of the day is morning and we both agree with every reason why we love it so we wrote down a little list together. We love mornings because we… ♡ Love breakfast ♡ Enjoy the fresh air through the windows ♡ Like to enjoy the most luminous hours…

Last week during a relaxed afternoon spent mainly in the car and parks, I spotted a little place were some lavender was growing and even though I never saw some real lavender in my life before, I knew I wasn’t wrong. I couldn’t help myself from going there and getting some to bring home with…

Me and my boyfriend are heading over to McDonald’s way too much lately – we used to eat only healthy vegetarian piadinas back in wintertime but lately we are just so attracted by those delicious and refreshing milkshake (and yes mine is the chocolate one and I know I shouldn’t eat dairy…). This is such an unhealthy…

Last month I started this Mini Goals blog series and I found it so helpful to me as publishing a list of little life goals every month really push me to actually tick them off and achieve something, whereas maybe keeping them for myself, I could forget them or get distracted. You seem pretty interested as…

You may remember my May’s Mini Goals: I’m super proud to say I’m keeping faith to all my promises: as you may see I went back to watercolor painting and I’m really enjoying it, I also started reading Game of Thrones, I’m sticking to my routine about everyday, and I also had the opportunity to…

It all started with me gitfing some polaroid instagram pictures to my boyfriend for his birthday and then again for Christmas last year, and since then I was thinking of creating a sort of photo diary of our relationship. I know nowadays you can pay someone to print your photo diary for you, but we…

For many years of my life I lived passively and never really came across something I was very passionate about and that catched my attention and made me enjoy what I was doing. Recently though, as every spring or even more this year, I’m opening my windows and letting some fresh air to come in…

I have those periods when I love and find time to have a good reading session and those when I really can’t catch up with all my favorite blogs contents. Luckly I’m in a very creative and active period right now and I love scrolling through my Bloglovin’s feed and discover plenty of good reading…

Springtime makes me think of nature, my own garden filled of flowering trees and seeds and potting soil and vases and gardening. If you were planning to have your little herb garden, whether in a vase or in the ground, spring is definitely the best time to start and even though I’m no expert at…

Being that I’m trying to make this blog more personal and have a really fresh contents that shows my personality a lot more, I thought I should embrace lifestyle posts a lot more and what better way to keep you updated than a weekly (or so) ‘Life Snippets’ kind of posts where I can show…

There was a time when I used to bring with me only big, wide, ginormous handbags, but that time is definitely gone as now I only carry little bags which look a lot cuter in my opinion but are also pretty comfortable and not too bulky as a big bag. I recently got an even…

So spring has always been my favourite time of the year and I was really looking for a lovely day to be spent outside without a coat on and that time has finally come when I can put on a cute spring dress and let it show completely and not only through my jacket. This…
