Autumn happiness!

I think my favourite months of the year are August and September. After a delicious beach season (for some) with nights out (not necessarily clubbing), dinners with friends, lunches in family, travelling, fresh clothes and warm sun, cosy season comes by.
And what's not to like about Autumn? No sweat, yet no frost bite. I find it the perfect and most balanced season of the year. (I'm actually much happier during Autumn/Winter that I am in Summer).

22nd September yesterday, Autumn is officially here and what's the best way to welcome it other than listing the best things to look forward for? Here's 7 things I love the most about this season.

Becoming a feminist

I've never considered myself to be a feminist. I am not the kind of person to follow "trends" or to be that much influenced. I usually just react to what a feel. And lately I've been feeling particularly attacked.

That idea of fighting for "equality" of the sexes is a bit ridiculous, at my sight. Women are different from men in several ways, there's no way we can be treated with the demanded equality. And here in between us, let's be completely honest with ourselves and accept that equality between sexes is nothing but a utopia.

Blogging: Authenticity vs Anonymity

I've been thinking about this subject lately and I would like to hear from you guys.

Getting on-line, eventually through a blog, vlog or any other that gives you plenty of exposure, is quite a delicate matter.

When choosing a way to present yourself to others,  you can decide either to build a virtual identity with no real name or details about your personal life, or to turn yourself public and share your life just as it is, in a transparent way.

If the first might lead to some lack of authenticity and - perhaps - empathy from others or make you feel too distant from your public, the second might make them way too close and more difficult for you to control what part of your life comes out public.

Wishlist - Adidas Superstar Supercolor

Please stop, you beauties!

I'm usually not that much of a spender, but for these ones I would definitely spend my last pennies.

Since that day when I was walking down the shopping centre and I happened to look inside Foot Locker's store and saw those colourful Adidas Superstar,  I have been deeply in love. There were 5 or 6 of them from the top to the bottom of the shelves. Pink, yellow, blue, green... I remember seeing a full rainbow in front of me.

Relationship ABC: Plans

A relationship is a constant change of plans.
When you're single you are plenty of dreams. You wish to be socially active,  have plenty of friends, invest in your career, study, travel, etc.
You even dream about finding the prince of your dreams (ladies?). Until you find this guy that changes your life.

Relationship ABC - the 2nd chance

Nobody said it's easy to keep a relationship growing long and healthy. There are moments where you will definitely question your relationship and your future together (or alone).

If you're just in a let's-get-it-going-until-I-don't-like-it-anymore kind of relationship, then you will give up and split in the first setback. On the other hand, if you are in a serious and adult relationship with someone that you respect and respects you back, then that someone will definitely answer to your needs and make you feel loved; for that reason you will think twice before any dramatic change because you don't want to hurt or disrespect the person. Specially if you are living together.

Wishlist - SONY Xperia Z3!!

NO WAY. 
I've been in London for 1 year and I haven't yet got a proper phone.
When I came to London in January 2014, as most immigrants, I brought a very old Samsung with no camera, no nothing - just Network unlocked.
Of course my plan was to get a new smartphone as soon as my life got better, but nothing went as I wished. So no phone.
But now that's another story. With an extra income after New Year, I'm very very anxious to get myself a brand new Sony Xperia Z3.
I'm in love, seriously. And as soon as I get a new job, I'll get my sweet sweet baby.
So Black or Copper??
(Maybe black, since I can personalize it better )

Wishlist - Labrador!!

Okkkkkk.
So I decided to open up about things that I want! Things that I'm dreaming of. Things I just can't take out of my mind.
It's my pure consumerist desire, that one that kills me insiiiiiiiiide - ok, no dramas.

And my first big wish to be shared is:
Labrador Retriever!

"Charlie Hebdo", Muslims and the attack in Paris - my opinion

I'm trying to keep myself cold in this subject.

To be honest, all this thing ... I don't buy it.

I don't understand what people have in mind when being cruel - and I mean killing or other kinds of cruelty, even physical or psychological torture - since it doesn't come to my mind to hurt any kind of life.

This world has always been lost. It's not new that we, humans, have the power to destroy everything, including ourselves. We kill, we steal, we hurt, we torture, most of the times with NO reason. I mean there is no excuse to do such a thing, but I still get surprised when I see people doing whatever they think they can do, without even thinking of the others.

Wishes of happiness for 2015!

It seems like the year started in a good way.
Habibi and me have been in a good mood, full of love and affection. He takes care of me, I take care of him.
I'm happy. Everything seems ok.
The best man in this world is by my side! :)

Xoxo,

After a so-different-from-what-I-imagined year of 2014, it's time for us to - stupidly - try to plan our life for the next year.

From my resolutions for 2014 I remember I got right 2 things: move to London and get a boyfriend. Everything else I think I missed.

New year, new life (I hope)

The end of 2014 was not completely that easy. To be honest it was very difficult emotionally and economically. 

I've been struggling in both to pay all my bills and to make my relationship with Habibi go long a healthy. It's a difficult duty anyway.

I hope this new year of 2015 will change some aspects of my life and will bring us all the good things.

Xoxo,

Piercings - my secret passion

I know I don't usually say it but ... I love piercings.
Well I love art, and it happens to exist something called body art. It includes piercings and tattoos, and I love them!

Let's say I appreciate them in specific places and with some logic. Let's not just do piercings and tattoos wherever we have space, no. I don't like it, I don't think it's nice.
