memories of the sea....

Weekend is coming and as I said before I need to run away from the city…R.is leaving for home tomorrow morning…we discussed and we made peace :D ! but K. is not going with him…

So I been thinking why not to runaway for the weekend and take her also with me!!! :D

The spring is making itself place in our days..and the sun is getting stronger…and as always Sicily is calling for me!!!!!!!!!!

I called my friends from Catania and they told me that the sun is up and are round 20 degreed and I just cant wait to feel the smell of the limons…and see Etna looking over the city….:D and see the mercato of fresh fish…and see how everybody smiles…This what I love about Sicily…All smile and feel life as it should be felt…

So I told K. that I will leave for weekend… she made a sad face and I added” not alone!” how happy she was!!!

So tomorrow evening we get our stuff in the car and hit the road Jack! :D :D

In 12 hours we are there…I never feel tired when I go there…I,

guess is the only place in the world that makes me feel like home…

And I made on polyvore this outfit just to keep in mind what to take with :D :D

I cant wait to be Sunday morning there,to eat a nice granite and a brioches! The classical Sicilian breakfast…and see the sea….

Here how I imagine myself in a café….

and here the wonderful song of Gino Paoli that remebers well the Italy of La Dolce Vita....

the real face of "friends"....:(

A little”very” nervouse….

This is why I need to calm down…..and say all…..

Like all Saturdays morning I prefer take breakfast with my friends….and today I tought to take also K.with me…because a little fresh air would make good and after we go to see what’s around shops…

I don’t feel to let her alone go around because not knowing the language yet would make me a little worry…

So we dress up…she puts the most beautiful green hijab I ever seen…she looks soooooo pretty..

And what I tought??!?!if she puts it lets try! I just covered my hair…and I liked that kind of tourban she wraped me up…grab our maxi bags and hit the road Jack….We got to the coffeeshop and there were waiting my “friends” they made a face!!!!!!!!!!

I said “hello everybody! She is K. my friend….They nither said “hi”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!just an “Ah!”(I said to myself we heading for a fall….”)

And so from one croissant to an other and from the first cappuccino to the next they told me….”D.you should stop pretending being on of them”….i tought I got lighted up……but I holded my calm…”you know we aren’t very happy to go around wrapped like that…and to be seen with such persons….. I got black….. “you know here we aren’t in the desert….mamma mia! I got so nervouse…I just told them: Yes we aren’t but you act like living in one!the answer was: “we tought you had more class!” and the replay “is because I have class I get up from here and I go….”I tooked K. and left. She knew something wrong happened and asked me if was her fault…I calmed her…

I never imagined my best friends…. we know us from some good years would tell me this….how closed mind they can be????????????????? I really don’t understand….

Is my problem in what I belive what I do and with who I am friend….they should know that K.is more pure then all of them!!!!

I couldn’t let this accident ruine our day out…so I took K.to the mall…we had so much fun…We bought some things for the house and some clothes for her…like she says “to wear them inside” I adore her!

What a wonderful story is the life…I used to hate her…and now she is my best friend…..

Today I learn how to cook cous-cous :D just can’t wait….

I feel a little disappointed on people…how they can be so stupid….(not all!!!) only if they would listen to this girls…and their beauty and I talk here about the inner one…it makes me really sad…..

I really didn’t wanted K. to assist to this thing...

I just immagin Monday going to university….:)) this makes me laugh….but I swam against the courent….always….

And I will not stop now….never…..

happy woman's day!!!!

happy woman's day!!!!

“No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn. “ - Hal Borland

And I guess in life is the same not only with the seasons…After a very strong winter that hit all Europe and not only the sun begins to be stronger and all the colors start to be brighter…..

Season change fashion changes….What a stupid thing….i don’t belive in trends , but I belive in colors and in their power to express our feelings..

I would reather say that they help us to express our feelings and not only in each occasion..They are a communication code and say a lot about our personality and mood……

So looking in designers collection for this spring/summer for this year.

In my opinion the Queen of this summer will be turquoise in all tones,and to be sincer I am very happy that the strong-neon colors are gone!!!!!!!!!!! They stressed my eyes last summer and I couldn’t stand anymore this but I see the cardinal purple is again and since 2 years is the new black….

It was so funny last spring to see on the streets of Italy that from 10 persons 7 had something purple on….

For myself,I can say that I will wear purple when nobody will wear it and it will be just a memory for all of us….

It is so good to be non-in-trend!

So my dear friends get inspired what ever dressing style you have,let colors come in your dressing room and give a big “Welcome!”to spring in your soul.......

MAKE FROM YOUR BATH YOUR OWN SPA



After I wrote in my “7 things about me” that I like to make my own homemade spa i want to share with all of you some of my secrets…..
We have to take care from of 3 steps in our :


PREPARING THE ROOM: To enjoy the bath as much as we can is sure that the bath has to be very clean (I guess all of us keep it clean because is important for our health) then you can light some candles and some incense sticks,get some fluffy towels that should wait you when you get out of the tub….
Put some relaxing music or music that you like in low tone.This little things will not only make the bath get into a special mood but also it will give you the right spirit to make it……


The second step is the preparation of the receipts.There are a lot of them and some of them even from ancient times for example the bath milk of Cleopatra…In our times they changed to comfort our need and possibility…
In one bowl take 50g of powder milk,50g of liquid honey,one spoon of jojoba oil,5 drops of essential rose oil,5 drops of essential patchouli oil and 5 drops of essential santal oil.Mix all of them very good and pour them into the water of the tub.

The plants are also known for their capacity of healing and relaxing…Next receipt is known for it heeling quality when the flu takes over us…. For this you need mint, ginger, meadow sage, chanterelle, savory, laurel leaves.If you don’t find all of this ingredients you can use the tea bags that contain this plants,the ginger cut it to slices and put all in one cloth bag and drop it in the warm-hot water…let it for some 10 minutes and then you can take your bath….
Another receipt for when you have the feeling that the cold has got even into your heart, is made like this : rosemary, lavender, meadow sage, ginger, cinnamon, balm.Do the same like before and drop it into water….
The last one is against insomnia and anxiety…Put in a cloth bag lavender, rose petals, wild camomile and hop flowers…and drop it in the warm water…
I know it can sound very difficult to find this plants but if you go in any naturist shop…

The last important step is after the bath….don’t rub your skin with the towl because will make it very dry and apply a body lotion that you prefer and get in bed 10 minutes after you get out of the tub…..

I will try to share you some beauty tricks and ideas that sometimes can be better then the most expensive cosmetics…

7 things about me....

3. I love to travel and to know people and cultures specially Orient (both of them far and middle),Africa are my favorite places…..
4. I love the Sunday morning….bc I like to spoil my self with a nice bubble bath and the home made spa (I have some receipts of masks all natural)…and candles and incenses sticks!
5. I cant live without music and books I read like 2-3 books a week and specially fairytales are the most beautiful things that somebody can write. I listen music since I get up in the morning until I sleep
6. I talk tooooooooooooo much that sometimes I get the feeling that I stress persons….
7. I love to sleep a lot! Too much like others say! I prefer a full night of sleep then a party :D :D :D (I am old fashioned! Like a granny!)

GOOD-BYE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN......

British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead after taking his own life.
The 40-year-old committed suicide just days after the death of his beloved mother, Joyce, last Tuesday.
His death also comes just three years after his close friend, Isabella Blow - who plucked him from obscurity and helped him become a star - killed herself.

'Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this.'
Two police officers were outside the entrance to his flat, which is in a six-storey red-brick building.
Scotland Yard said police were called to the property by the London Ambulance Service at 10.20am after he was found dead.
A police statement said: 'Next of kin have been informed, however we await formal identification. A post mortem will be scheduled in due course, an inquest will open and adjourn in due course. The death is being treated as non suspicious…….
