Ciao Lovelies! I’ve been on a weightloss journey since September. I’ve adjusted my diet and started exercising and so far I have seen results that have pleased me. Just thought I’d share that. But anyway, I’m not sure if any of you are like this but when I work out, I don’t like to grunt. […]
Skincare Practices for Cold Winter Months
Winter is coming! As we drift further into Autumn and closer to the winter season it’s a good time to start focusing on keeping our skin protected, moisturized, soft and healthy during those cold months.

My Favorite Budget-Friendly Hostels So Far
Ciao lovies! As some of you may know, I live in Italy. I’ve been here for a little over 3 years and in that time I’ve managed to see quite a few different areas with my husband and also with his family. But I wanted to see more! At the time, I had stumbled into […]

My Neverending Natural Hair Care Journey
It’s no secret that I like to change my hairstyles up. Quietly, I wish I was better at it but sadly the only hairstyle I’m halfway decent at pulling off is crochet hairstyles. Fortuntely for me, I happen to love the crochet look. It’s easy to change up, refresh and take out. It lasts up […]
A Last-Minute Getaway to Bormio, Italy | My must-have hotel amenities
Ciao Lovelies! We recently took a last-minute trip to Bormio to enjoy the mountains and to also visit our favorite spa. We spent two days in a lovely hotel that had all of my must-have amenities, including a 24 hour bar. And we ate food that was typical of that region. It was the perfect […]
Building My Capsule Wardrobe
Ciao lovelies! Little confession: I’m not that great at outfits. I’ve always wanted to be but for some reason I just never – couldn’t be – with the…I don’t have style or fashion sense, is what I’m trying to say. So my “look” has always consisted of jeans and a t-shirt or sweater or something. […]
