Slowing down...


As the summer is coming to an end - it's still pretty warm in here - I find myself not willing to let it go.
It was a strange summer, my first as a single after several years, the first I went on vacation with friends, the first I spent lots of time with myself, with my friends and my family, but no boyfriend.

I still don't want this summero to go away, so, as long as the weather allows it, I'll keep wearing my summer skirts (hence the lack of outfit posts, since I am just repeating worn outfits), go to the beach (it's so beautiful in September), and last week I spent several days at my sister's beach house (which is closer to my work than my own place! I am considering moving there...)

We, as a band played last Fri. I was surprised I wasn't a bit nervous - just cold. I think we were good. The singer was awesome, I told her at the end.

I am going to Paris at the beginning of October, for work. I don't think I'll have a lot of time to see the city and to shop, but I hope at least to be able to bring back some Ladurée macaroons... It'll be nice anyway, I bet. The company will be interesting - I don't know any of the people who'll come, except than for my she-boss. The CEO of our company will be there too, and I am a little nervous about making the best of my time with him!

I'll start taking music lessons again in October. And I want to start a Flamenco class too. I am so excited about that. Together with the band practice, it will make for a pretty busy year.

May be that's why I am taking it really slowly these remaining days of September. I am sleeping a lot, and not really studying. More like playing something when I feel like it.
I know it will be tiring, and I want to start fall very well rested and energetic!

I don't have so many plans...
I just want to enjoy the things I like, cutting everything which is not necessary (especially stuff to do), and spending time with people I like.
I don't want to worry about my future. I am just curious to see what will happen.

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
