uff....i'm currently working 10-12 hours/day, which is why i didn't want to spend even more time in front of a computer screen. but i felt like today i could manage to type a few words and keep you updated with what's going on. well, that's it. that's what going on. working, eating, sleeping, repeat. sometimes i manage to squeeze in little workout but most of the time i'm just done - can't lift myself anywhere than in my bed. my bed's my best friend these day. but i don't really want to complain. i love my job and there are going to be days i only have to work a few hours or not at all.
but before this whole working-my-ass-off month started i went hiking with my mom, dad and the puppy. the sun was shining the whole day, but the light breeze made the hiking bearable. At the end of the day, however, i burned my back so badly (despite putting on sunscreen (SPF 50) and refreshing it every hour) that i seriousely couldn't feel anything than a pausing ache. i kinda freaked out because i only saw the damage i've done to my skin when i came off the shower. neither my mom or my dad had seen it during the hike. i went to the pharmacy the next morning and bought after sun and some foam spray to ease the stretching and allay inflammation. it didn't peel or anything and my skin looks normal/healthy again - thank god! so guys, don't forget to put on sunscreen, stay in the shade as much as possible and don't forget to stay hydrated! my next hike is definitely going to be on a day in fall when the sun isn't burning down so much ;)
some of you might have seen my new espadrilles on instagram (@nissybunique), and for those who haven't i'd like to share it once again with some more details attached. i was looking for comfy and stylish shoes for spring/summer for quite some time, but when i visited barcelona in april and layed my eyes on these espadrilles i new i have finally found them! not only are they available in lots of cute patterns (check out those!) but they also make you feel like walking on candy cotton! i've been wearing them almost every day ever since i bought them and never had one blister or sweaty feet. beside they're cool look they also are perfect for long strolls through the city or beach days as they are very light.
i went with a ordinary color since i like to wear them a lot and they really go with everything.
what are you? team toms or team paez?
Are you gonna watch the world cup? which team do you cheer for?
i'm back from milan and wanna share some photos i took. we really just stayed whole 2 days (arriving thurday evening and departing sunday morning) but i think we got to see everything we wanted - milano isn't that big after all ;)
we stayed at an apartment which we rented via airbnb. it's close to navigli, which is where the channels and lots of super cute little restaurants are. we first though that apperitivo is just what it says: appetizer, but oh my, that was an actual course!! during our short stay we ate way too much pasta, pizza and oh don't get me even started with all the delicious gelato! if it was for me, i would have lived on ice cream those whole two days!
anyways, duomo wasn't far either. it only took us a 15 minute walk, well if you cut out the time we spent inside all those store which we passed ;) if you happen to be in milan you definitely need to see the duomo from the inside. it's very impressiv and got me goosebumps - the atmosphere's so powerful! we went the second (not so hot) day, since we weren't dress appropriate to enter. also the galleria vittorio emanuelle II is a must see and right next to the duomo.
since is was pretty hot (over 27°C) the first day we decided to...guess what..have a gelato!! haha! and have a rest at the parco sempione. on saturday we went to brera, the old town of milan where we enjoyed a lighter meal which means: melon with parma ham & caprese.
we also went shopping but i was well-behaved and only went for two things. pretty damn good, huh?! ;) i therefore took lots of picutres which i hope you're going to enjoy... arrivederci!
