Updates...

Well, I went to the doctor today. He thinks either I cought some virus, and being sick my blood pressure went down, making me feel so weak, or the low blood pressure itself caused my strong headache and weakness.
In any case, he gave me some medicine.
Then I went to my mom's to see her and tell her what the doctor had said.
And she told me "you lost a lot of weight since last time I saw you!"
And I replied "But you last saw me last Sun. It's really not possible!"

Truth is, I look kind of sick, and my face is very pale, and I understand I might have appeared thinner to her.
And I know the real reason is - too much work and no play make Chiara a dull boy. Or girl, but I wanted to quoteKubrick more closely!

So I can't really do anything for my dullness right now, aside from resting and taking my medicine.
But I can try fixing my dull skin. I started here:

A face mask-scrub. Too bad after the scrub a mosquito liked the smell so much that it bit my cheeck...
Then I am spending some time reading on the beach tomorrow morning.
And I have scheduled a massage in the afternoon.

Enough to take away some dullness, right?

I do hope you get to feeling better soon! Rest always helps, no matter what the issue is... so the beach sounds like a perfect idea!

I agree that taking time to go to the beach and read is probably the best thing to do on a weekend like this :-) I hope it will help you to feel better! I've read that you're moving at the moment and I imagine it might be the last thing on earth one needs when being sick. Do you have to get it done quicky are can you at least take your time?
By the way: I admire all the moving you already did! I'm such a coward when it comes to changes myself, I'm really impressed!

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!
