Updates


Gosh, I have been absent from this blog for so long that I had not seen the new Blogger layout. And it is getting a little confusing!
Now for the updates.
Things have been hectic (and work has been crazy!), but I am happy to report that we are almost done. We are down to the details now.
FH is dealing with signposts, and I am finishing to prepare the sachets for our guests. Only one person is in doubt if she can make it to the reception, and the honeymoon is almost planned.
I can't wait to go back to my "second home" - the US!

Above is a picture of one of the updos I tried - it's not what I chose, but it's interesting that it makes my hair look much longer that it actually is!
The nice thing about being a bride-to -e is that pampering is not only allowed, but almost mandatory. So, today I am going for my second makeup trial and a pedi, and the day before the wedding I have scheduled a mani and a massage!

My colleagues organized a very fun batchelorette party. I only had to show up, they had planned everything - and I am glad my sister and cousins could make it to the party too!

Planning our wedding has been an interesting process. I am a very detail-oriented person, so it has been sometimes frustrating to let go of the control over something - for example, I didn't really want signposts, or rice after the ceremony.
But I am slowly learning that the goal is the most important thing. And here the goal is to get married with the man I love. The rest is... just detail!

That's all for now - I hope I can update a little bit more regularly...

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!
