italian memoirs

dear diary,

i haven't been upto much lately,so i chose not to bore you with meaningless entries.
Today i remembered the blast i had during my summer holiday in italy.This will be my late but important to me entry.
i always heard italy was magical.I had a certain image of it in my mind, lots of bricky roads with beautiful shopping alleys and side cafes. I didnt expect it to be exactly what i had in mind;to my surprise,it was a lot better. Milan was enchanting..lots of beautiful restaurants, magnificent shopping, and delicious icecream.

Venice was the definition of magical.Have you ever been to a city without cars?not a single car. we arrived looking for a taxi to the hotel.Instead we got into a boat carrying our luggage and moved through the beautiful passages until we got to the hotel.For a small city like venice,i must say the shopping was amazing.Theres a boutique of almost anything that can come on one's mind.Theres a waterside market with lots of carnivale venezian masks and souvenirs. The gondola's driven by striped shirt singing men are a work of art.One of them showed me a building and claimed casanova actually lived there. Its one place i will never forget,and would love to visit once again.

Florence was our third destination.I personally enjoyed my time in Florence a lot more than Milan.Although they are both so beautiful,florence has a special charm to it. Its so beautiful and calm, with amazing italian shopping.There's also a cafe ill never forget,Gilli;the most delicious strawberry tarts i've ever had.I picked up the sweetest straw hat with a bow as a souvenir from firenze.
I think i can say my trip to italy was the best vacation i ever had.
Grazie italia.

so,back to the norm,the weather is really odd these days.Its cloudy during daytime,followed by constant lightning and rainy nights.Yesterday the sky was literally showering.Its funny,raining at this time of the year.Major global warming alert.

im into laura mercier's mineral SPF powder "composed completely of natural elements with 15 active amino acids to clear the skin of toxins, promote healthy skin cell growth and fight the aging process. Oil-free and water-resistent, Mineral Powder SPF 15 can be applied as a buildable foundation or a pigmented powder." that's my item to pick for tommorow.
