The weekend...


I have been quite silent lately... I was too busy enjoying the Easter holidays, then went back to work and all faded in a big lump of busy-ness. I am so worn out today I wasn't able to go to yoga class, and I hope my headache will go away after dinner.
My plans for the weekend are very simple... I am going to go to the farmers' market, go get a massage to see if it can ease my frequent headaches, and make some bread.
I'd also like to catch up on reading, both magazines and books, I never seem to find time for that, but it's probably bad organization from my side.

I seem to feel very tired more and more often. I am trying to understand why. It's not like work is more intense than other times, so I really can't understand why. Maybe I'll add some vitamins to my shopping list, tomorrow.

On another note, I want to improuve my bread making skills. Tomorrow I'll make some more, hope to get the raising time right this time. But in any case, even if the look was not perfect, my last bread had a really delicious crust. By the way, I found out that a colleague's father has worked as a baker, so I can ask him for tricks...

The lovely Imogen has started her April Style Challenge. This time she has givenweekly thèmes:


April Style Challenge

I have been following her indications for the first week (accessorize), but haven't taken any pictures... Also, I am a bit at loss when deciding what to wear, since the weather is very moody: it's almost hot in the middle of the day, cold in the morning when I leave for work, and it often rains. But I'll try to take some pictures starting this weekend.

That's all. I just hope to feel better!

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!
