My bachelorette party at "Le Fiorine"

Gooood morning everyone!I'm happy to say that I'll be home for a few days!
Today is no-working day, because we remember when Italy became a Republic.

So, today I'm gonna tell you my bachelorette party.
Yes, I did it.
I'm not a huge fan of strip-tese and so on. I hate them. And my bridesmaids know this.
So they took me here.
It's an adventure park, where we walk in a path through the trees....wonderful!

After this, we went to a wonderful restaurant where you can eat the best gnocchi I've ever eaten!!!
We talked, we had a great time.
And this is all I ever wanted for my bachelorette party!

PS: The day after my muscles were crying....

Random thoughts on a Sunday morning

Good morning my friends!!!
It's a sunny Sunday morning, and I really feel fine! I dream of an afternoon spent soaking up the sun...

**My "staying fit" programm is going on...not every day, but when I have some time, you can find me outside biking or walking :)

**I'm a bit busy with the organisation of our wedding: we have to send the invitation to our friends and families, and doing the last things...

**Friday afternoon I took an afternoon out of work...just 4 hours that I spent riding my bike, and meeting people I really like. And I really thought that we're living in a wonderful world.

**Yesterday I unpacked my summer shoes: I was waiting for you, my dear summer (or spring)!!!!

**Thank you friends and sister, for supporting me in this period of my life.... it's probably the best one, but it's a bit stressful, thank God you're by my side!

**Mr and I are planning our Iceland trip....any advice? :)

and it's thursday!

Yesterday after a very long day at work, I came home and, with my Mr, I biked for something like 6 or 7 km.
It's a very full period at work, and when I come home I feel so tired. I hope it will pass! Even because I have to organize our wedding!!! I need more free time! :)
So, have a nice Thursday!

Hump day

Hi my dear friends!!
It's raining cats and dogs, and I'm watching "Letters to Juliet".
I need to visit Verona, as soon as possible! It's such a great city!

By the way, I'm a bit nervous about the wedding: it seems we have so many things to do, and I don't think a month and a half will be enough......

But! Talking about my "moving program", yesterday I walked for 5 km, and tonight I biked for 7,5 km (with my stationary bicycle), I really need to move and to put out my negativity.

Last night I ordered a book about Iceland: the author of this blog, suggests this to me: while she's going to travel in a country, she tries to read something about it. It's a very good idea!!!
So, have a great night, my friends!

Oh no, Monday again

Gooood morning!
Happy rainy and cold Monday!
This is the perfect weather for staying at home, and don't leave the bed....
But, I'm going to wash myself, put on some make-up, dress on and start this new week.
So, on Friday and Saturday I didn't exercise, I really don't have the time.
Yesterday I walked for 5 km with my Mr, and, ça va sans dire, it was better then walked alone.
Wonderful drawing, taken here

My purpose - it goes on ;)

My "moving program" is going on!
On Thursday I waked for 5 km, and yesterday evening I biked for 8 km.
Having this blog and sharing with you what I do, helps me.
I don't know if I would go on with my purpose without my little corner in the web!

So, here is cold. Very very cold. Weather probably spyed me last Saturday, while I was changing my winter wardrobe to spring and summer.....
But, today is Friday!!!On Saturday I'm going to a wedding, so.....this will be a great weekend!
Have a great Friday, my dear!

My purpose (I forgot the day)

A very quick update! :)
Yesterday I came back to work....bad mood....I don't wanna be negative, so I'll write nothing about it....
After work I went to do my first manicure!!!!Well, isn't it great?I don't think I will keep it for looong time, I like having nail polish, but after some days I get bored of it...do you feel the same?
When I came back home, I bike with my exercise bike for 7 km, while I was watching 500 days.
Finger crossed today at work will be better!
Bye!!!!

My purpose and a collaboration!

Happy Monday evening my friends!
Another night is passed without Mr, the last one, because he's coming home! Yahooo!!!
To be honest these days are flown, but I'm so so so happy he will be here in a couple of hours :)
I'm watching at "Eat, pray, love", Julia Roberts is really great, now she's in Italy, and she's eating!

About my purpose...yesterday and today I walked for 5 km, I really feel fine and great!I hope you're finding some time for moving too, because now that I do it, I'm asking myself "how could I spend the whole winter without execise a bit?"

And last but not least!
I'm collaborating with my friend Stefania of "Xle SoRelle"! I'm excited, because she creates wonderful jewels, and she has a lot of creativity!!!
I hope this collaboration will last a lot!
And stay tuned for the first giveaway!!!

My purpose - days 5 and 6

Happy rainy Sunday my dear friends!
So, Friday no exercise: Mr, my mum and I went to the florist, and we talked about the flowers we will use for our wedding. Then a dinner with friends, and so I had no time for walking/biking/running.
On Saturday, I walked 1,000 km looking for the perfect dress to wear at the weddings I'm gonna have the next weekends. And I didn't find it. I don't know what I'll wear. I'll probably have a crush. Someday.
Plus, the night that is passed I slept without my Mr. He's at a bachelor party of a friend of us, in Belgium.
This was the first night I slept without him, and home alone. Home is different, without him. I hope Monday evening will arrive soon. This is the first time I wish Monday evening will arrive soon.
Have a nice Sunday!!!

Ah, yesterday I bought this book... :)

22 aprile 2016

My purpose - day 4

Friday....what a magic word!!!
Today, last day of work for this week, and the weekend will have an extra day because here in Italy April 25th is a festivity day.
But, let's talk about yesterday....
I came home at 7:20 pm, because I went to the store market. I really wanted to stay at home for making dinner and other stuff....but! I took my bike and I ride for 7 km.
I took my "purpose" seriously, and do you know? at evening I'm exhausted, but very happy.
So, have a nice earth-day, friends!!


21 aprile 2016

My purpose - day 3

Goood morning!!!
So yesterday I biked for 11 km!!! :)
It took me an hour, and I felt great!
Why did I start this purpose only now???
By the way, I have a little advice for you: if you bike, don't sing. Some mosquitos can think that your mouth is a pleasent place to visit :)
Mr, summer 2014

My purpose - day 2

Day 2 of my staying fit-project.
I had no time for walking/biking/running because I had a great dinner with friends.
But today I'm gonna bike double.
This is gonna be a gooooood day! :)

Have a great day my friend!
We're already hump day!

My purpose

Gooood morning!!!!

So starting from yesterday, I wanna walk/run/bike for at least 5 km every day.
I spend the most part of my days sitting in front of a pc, I gained some pounds, but, first of all I don't feel fine.
So I decided that I have to move, and this will be my daily diary!
If you wanna join me, well you're welcome!

For now, have a nice Tuesday!

4 passi in Marano di Vapolicella (Verona)

The sun is shining and a new Sunday is about to start.
My heart melts when the sun arrives and I can stay outside for the whole day.
Last Sunday I spent a wonderful day, walking through cherry-trees, vineyards, and admiring how wonderful is where we live!
The event was called "4 passi" and we had to walk for about 9 km; after the first km we stop and we visit the first wine cellar, we taste some wine and we ate something.
We did this for 8 times. With friends.
It was great :)

The place is Marano di Valpolicella, it is in Verona, and I had a crush for it.

How I met your mother

Happy Easter dear friends!!!
How was your Easter day?
Here, we ate toooooo much (as usually!), Mr and I had a lunch with Mr's family, and then we met with my family.
At the end of the day, Mr and I watched the last episode of How I met your mother.
I didn't like too much the last season (#9), but the two last episodes worth the whole 9 season.
And now I lost some friends. I've already lost Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross and Joy.
But while "Friends" is the series I watched with my sister, "How I met your mother" is Mr-and-I-series, we "grew up" with Marshall, Lily, Ted, Robin and Barney.
What can i say about this series?  I love it. Really.
Watch it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buona Pasqua a tutti!
Qui come sempre, abbiamo mangiato un sacco!Pranzo con la famiglia del Mr a poi siamo andati a salutare la mia famigliola.Ogni anno che passa, sono sempre più attaccata alle tradizioni.....
Alla sera, io e il Mr abbiamo finito di vedere "How I met your mother".
Abbiamo iniziato a vedere questo telefilm anni e anni fa, quando eravamo al'inizio della nostra storia, e le vicende di Lily, Marshall, Ted, Robin e Barney sono sempre state un buon motivo per starcene in divano a guardare la tv.
Mentre guardavamo l'ultima serie su Netflix (che meravigliosa invenzione!!!), aspettavo con ansia la fine, l'ultima puntata.
Sebbene la nona stagione non mi sia piaciuta granchè, le ultime due puntate si fanno perdonare l'intera stagione.
Mi è davvero piaciuta un sacco. Ovviamente ho pianto, perchè questo è quello che succede quando ci lascia con dei cari amici....

I envy this family....

On Sunday Mr and I took a stroll through hills.
And I envy the family that lives in this house:

They have a wonderfu view, a huge garden, a lot of trees....I thought of all the wonderful afternoons that kids can spend here in spring/summer.....
Now that spring is coming, I really need a garden where I can spend my weekends...
Just a little thought!!

See you soon!
Have a nice Friday dear friends!

Just a little update

Hello my dear friends!
days are flying so so so so fast!
 Here's some important things...

***On Friday, one of my cousins had a baby boy, named Gabriele!!! I cannot wait to see and hug and kiss him!!!

***In these days, some happy things happened thanks to the photos I post on my Instagram account...
- @igerssiena repost one of my photos
- @mattinopadova (a local newspaper) repost one of my photos
- @Hotel Athena Siena (on twitter) repost one of my photos
ok, just 3 repost...but they mean sooooooooo much to me!!!
I usually update a photo on Instagram before going to work, I just have 10 minutes, and my smartphone always sometimes has some problems....so that reposts, are miracles to me!!!

***I have a lot of white/grey hair....I think it's time for some dye....

***March 8th here in Padua was a very dark and grey day: it rained a loooot and the wind blow. While I was driving to my mum's home for lunch, I passed in front of a school.
There were a boy, under an umbrella, that was holding an orchid and some branch of mimosa.
Well, he was waiting for his girl.
This situation made me smile.

***netflix arrived in this house. OH MY GOD, I think i could stay at home from work for some months....Now we're watching the ninth season of  "How I met your mother"..... :)

***Today the sun is shining, so I'm gonna clean out the house, and enjoy a stroll!

I wish you a very very happy weekend!!

This my anniversary gift! an amarillis :)

"Le avventure della pice" meets "Ce n'est que de la chance" :)

Do ou remember when Mr and I went to Berlin last November?
Well, something special happened....
We met a wonderful girl, Rosa, that I first met on her nice blog "Ce n'est que de la chance"
It was so so so good spending a morning together!
I heard her voice for the first time, we really talk about a lot of things...it was like we know each other since so much time!
This is probably the best memory that I have about our journey in Berlin!

We met in Berlin, and we had a stroll through a fabric market.
We were talking each other, and it was snowing...well it really was magical!
Then we had a coffee and we talked and talked, she was there with her wonderful baby girl...while I was talking to her, I was thinking she was so good, so calm, she was a perfect mother, and a great person, I was very lucky to meet her!!
This is the power of the web!

I really hope we will meet again in the future!

One year in our house!

Good morning and happy Sunday everyone!
One year ago, Mr and I started our lives in our new house.
We packed our lives and start living together as a "family".
After one year, I can say that I'm really really happy to live with him.

During this year:
I broke a lot of glasses
I planted a loooot of plants
I cooked lots of vegetables
We had a lot of dinners with friends
We got engaged
We spent our first Christmas
We are planning our wedding.

So, this year has been good to us.
I just want to have so more time for us.

Here's some photos of our first year in our house:

Our breakfast
Our blackboard

Wardrobe arrived in July!!

I think I should update this little blog more, but, to be honest, after a day spent in the office in front of my pc, in the evening the only thing I want is to do something far from technlogy!
I wish you a very happy Sunday!
