Drive license and books - Update #1

HeyHey

This is a really quick update. And when I say quick, this time i'm not going to write the usual 50.000 words blog post. 

Sorry I haven't been writing much, I've been very busy with school and summer is so close that I may start crying thinking that until the 10th of July (or something like this) I'll be able with my final exams.

Lately I've been enjoying reading, a lot! In particular, I finally decided, thanks to a friend of mine that kindly borrowed me this book, to start reading one of those books that you've heard about many many times but that you've never seriously consider as something to read. And I'm talking about John Green's ''The fault in our stars''. I'm reading it in English, and it's so amazing how easily I understand. At first I was a little worried because I usually have difficulties in reading in English when it comes to a proper book, instead of a short test or something else for school. I'm pretty sure I'm going to write a review, or at least something that will pretty much look like one of those long comments about a certain book. 

Another important event...oh yeah, yesterday I took my drive license! I finally did it and I'm so proud that I made it at the first attempt. When it came to the theory part, I failed the first time because I studied by myself and it was the period in which it was not clear what kind of test I was going to do. With this I mean to say that here in Italy there were a certain kind of testes for the drive license that had to be replaced with new ones, the Europeans, with new things to study. When I had the theory test, it should have been the first time with the new testes but they kept moving the exact date, and at the end I studied for both, so this meant I was not fully ready for both of them. And I failed (with 5 errors, maximum to get it done is 4...ugghhh!!). The second time, with the new testes, went perfectly, as yesterday's practical exam. The only thing I'm a little bit upset is that the ''minister of transport'' (or however I can translate it) printed my drive license with a mistake. It was written that I need glass when I drive; this isn't exactly wrong because I have glasses but I'm not blind without them, I only miss few degrees. So yeah, they broke it in front of me, while I was holding the marking pen to finally sign that plastic card that was going to lead me to freedom...kinda dramatic in this way, but that's basically what happened. In one week my card will arrive and I'll be authorized to drive on my own, but untill that day it's like I didn't have my examination yet. All my plans for the weekend are ruined; they were not great because I'll just work as photographer for a couple of birthday parties but still, I feel the taste of loss in my mouth! (If this is an expression I can translate).

So really this is it, I'll post as soon as I can, a picture of me driving...or at least a fake one in the car :) 

Have a nice weekend xxx

More subscribers for them .

HeyHey

I know, it has been a while since when I wrote here the last time. I need to admit that the previous blog posts took me more time because I needed to shoot those pictures in my garden in a day that was going to be hot enough. 

Last week I restarted studying properly. I say 'restart' because the week before there was the medieval festival that we have every year in my city, and since the fact it is a competition between the two parts of the city, I had to work for mine (acting and dancing) in order to win this edition, thing that we've done :) 

Today I want to talk about youtubers. I started watching YouTube videos two years ago, and this helped me out so much with the English language, but most of all I discovered this enormous website that gives young people the opportunity to have a jobs that is making videos and entertain their subscribers in this way. 

In Italy YouTube it's used as a trampoline; lots of youtubers start with miniseries and random videos on their channel and now have proper TV and radio programs etc. As I said, abroad this ''youtuber thing'' it's a huge dream for many young people. I follow famous youtubers, the same that I got the opportunity to meet here in Italy in April, when I went in Milan for the ITAtube. Listening to their speech in the ''conference room'', where there was just a small part of us subscribers, I realized that none of them started a channel with the idea of making it as their future job, but at the end they did. 

I'm also subscribed to people that don't have many subscribers, but they definitely should be followed by more persons, in my opinion. They already have many subscribers but none of them has like 100K followers.

So here's a list of Italian and international youtubers that deserve to be noticed ! Maybe you already know them, so help them with me for more subscribers :)

► Sarah Stone;  Her voice it's absolutely amazing, and the cover of the songs she does are stunning! In particular I really like how she covers songs using, as base, the cup song.

► SamKingftw; This guy it's sooo adorable! I discovered his channel after ITAtube, where he was invited as guest. I knew about him as a youtuber but I never really tried to watch his videos, no idea why. But when it came to meeting the youtubers to wanted to meet and talk with them, he was with Oli White and Emma Blackeray and they all answered to our questions in a really kind way. 

► Scarvesandgloves; Probably the most awkward name for a YouTube channel but trust me, once you start listening at this guy that talk and talks and talks constantly...you can't stop! I mean, his accent, the fact he can keep talking about the most random things...it's just awesome for me. He was previously highlighted on jacksgap.com 

► Jess Schmid; As for Emma Blackeray, I can't spell her surname in the right way; when I type for her channel I come up with ''Schmits'', ''Schmidts'' and many others. What I like about this girl's videos, it's the quality they have, the calm she has in her voice and the fact that she doesn't always look super active in her video but she's just a normal person with who you would love to chat for hours and hours. In some ways, her videos relax me. 

► DanSpaces; He's the 3rd Dan Holmes on YouTube. This guy has a really nice accent, his videos, in my opinion, are nice but not too original. What I like about him it's the enormous effort he puts on his channel. I follow him on twitter as well and he's always working for his videos, looking for new ideas...and this is an attitude that should be rewarded. 

► Zoe Law; I met this lovely girl on Omegle I guess, she was sending her link to get her channel to be noticed, and I decided to have a look. The enthusiasm she had on her first video is what kept me waiting for the following videos, in which I always commentated. She often wrote me back and we tweeted each other for a while. She's so funny and she has a great potential in my opinion !

(The following youtubers are Italian girls, although some of you may not understand what they say, their videos are in any case worth to watch! ) 

► LaSbii ; Her Italian dialect and accent are so funny, she really does know how to dress. Her unique style is amazing and she often is in one of those videos you can find on Romwe.com youtube channel, where fashion youtubers and bloggers show outfits with their products. 

► EliLikeMe; She has a great taste, and I like watching her videos (for the content but for their quality as well). Her DIY are really cute and precise. 

► Giulia Watson; This girl is sooo sweet. I met her at the ITAtube where she was not invited as guest, but was there as a subscribers. Useless to say how happy I was to get to know her in a calm way, without waiting lines and hurrying up for a picture and a short chat. She is sooo romantic and she often has really cute ideas for bedroom decorations and other things like that.

► MakeupbyElettra; Her taste is amazing, she's lovely and I can't get enough of her haul video. Maybe it's just me but, doesn't she look like Monica Bellucci? 

And these are all the names that came into my mind this afternoon, hope you guys will like their videos and will subscribe! Have a nice week ! :D
PS; Of course, none of them wrote me asking for this blog post, just pointing out.

Spring haul .

HeyHey

How's the weather where you live? Because I'm Italian, and this country is known for the amazing weather...BUT not this year ! It rained constantly in the past two day, and since the fact it's supposed to be spring, this bad weather annoys me a lot !
Anyway, as I wrote at the end of my latest blog post, I still have some items I bought in the past month that I haven't showed you ! So...let's get started, shall we?

Clothes

◆ I'm starting with my favourite clothing piece at the moment, that is this super cute chiffon blouse in white, with a lace collar! How cute is that? I literally am obsessed with it !

Chiffon white blouse with lace collar - Privilege

◆ It doesn't look as good as it is live, but this sweatshirt it's amazing. It's longer on the back, it has this eiderdown seam on the floral print...it just includes several different details I like to have in a sweatshirt !

Floral eiderdown seamed sweatshirt - Local store
Jeans - Zara basic

◆ This is the other clothing piece I've been using non-stop since when I bought it in Prague. I like the color of it, the fact it has a detailed collar, and...it's a shirt so, I already loved it !

Peachy chiffon shirt with peachy details on the collar - New Yorker

◆ It doesn't really look good on me, because I have a large hips and a narrow waist, so when I wear it I look like a meringue. But I loved the material and, I have to admit, that the quality it's awesome!

(Sorry for the bad lighting but the sun was going crazy!)
Pleated high waist velvet black skirt - Oasap.com  

◆ They didn't cost much, and they look kinda bad in this picture, but I saw this same pare of short sweatpants in one of my favorite youtuber's video and I decided to get them, also because they really costed few euros !

Grey sweat-shorts - Store in Prague

◆ I rarely buy striped clothes, but this little navy and white striped tshirt i found at Bershka in Prague was absolutely perfect to pair with everything!

Beauty

◆ As you may know, I'm obsessed with this brand of mat lipsticks. I own 5 of them and I just can't get enough for how awesome they are! This color is a strong pink, not too bright because the mat effect reduces the brightness. 

Atomic red 19 mat lipstick - Deborah 

◆ When it comes to remove my make up, as first step I use this soap that it's just amazing! I rarely have to use more than one make-up remover wipe. And it also smells delicious !

Cleanser make up remover with rosehip from Chile - Bottega Verde

◆ As everyday perfume I used to have this particular fragrance, and I recently rediscovered it ! It smells really nice.

Aromatic myrrh perfume - Tesori D'Oriente

◆ Always from Bottega Verde, I used to have, for the winter time, this moisturizing cream that had honey extract or this one, with olive oil essence. For spring time I decided to go for something more ''refreshing'' so I picked up this flower moisturizing cream that it's really light and it's a good product.

Moisturizing cream for normal skin, flowers essence - Bottega Verde

Accessories 

◆You've already seen these sunglasses on Instagram or on the previous look book. I really am happy that I finally found a mirrored sunglasses in a nice shape that looks good on me! There are no plants drown on the lens, it's just the reflection of an fir in my garden.

Mirrored Sunglasses in Blue - New Yorker

◆ And last, but not least, this blue ring I bought at Pimkie when I was in Prague. I usually have troubles in finding the right 'ring size' for my fingers, but this one was an easy one, even to pick. I like the color of it and the shape as well !

Blue Victorian Ring - Pimkie

I hope you liked this blog post, as always. Sorry for the lack of links for some items, but several shops in which I bought these stuff don't really have a website where to buy the items. 

I wish you all a great weekend :)

New haircut .

HeyHey

Yes...I finally did it...I got an haircut !! To cut my hair has always been a dramatic experience for me, since when I was 13, when i realized I always had short hair.

I did the so called ''shatush'', so the discoloration of my hair, two years ago, and I was happy of the result, they turned out in a really good way. Than, in November I cut my hair a little bit (just the tips that got ruined during summer) and I did the discoloration again, at the same saloon. Unfortunately this time I turned out as a Barbie! It was really hard for me at the beginning to get used to that ''light yellow!'' (because they turned more yellow than blonde) but at the end I got used to it and I didn't even notice how much that treatment ruined my hair!

The other day, more precisely on Wednesday, my mum took me with her to the new hairdresser she goes to, that is way better than the woman who turned my hair in yellow (in my mum's opinion). And I have to admit that...she was right.

The tips of my hair has been cut out, and the hairdresser also trimmed them (not sure if this verb is the correct one), to make them less heavy, and I also wanted to try this fringe that I saw on a french girl I met in cruise few years ago. The biggest change is in my hair color though. It's impossible to remove that yellow effect, so it has been covered with this hair dye that nourish and repair my hair, and of course gives them the same blonde effect...but in a proper tone this time!

The ''Have you ever'' test .

HeyHey

Back when everyone used MSN to chat, instead of WhatsApp and Facebook, I used to have another blog. It was completely different from this one. Starting from the theme, I did it in green with apples everywhere, one in light blue and bottles of milk (??)...it sounds strange but they were really cute actually, than I wrote in Italian there, I often copied lyrics from different songs, I posted awkward pictures of mine (you know, those pictures you could find in Netlog as well...so embarrassing) and I also used to post different testes I did. On my external memory I found some of those testes, as the ''have you ever'' one. So, since the fact I promised you to post some outfits for spring using the clothes i bought when I was abroad and on the Internet BUT I haven't shoot the pictures yet, I thought that with this test you could get to know me a bit better (if you want).

Spring crisis .

Let's be honest. At the moment I'm going trough a bad period. 

I eat everything, at every moment of my day and than I complain about the fact I'm gaining weight, I gave up on my diet. 

I can't study. I sit, read and than start wondering about several things. I think a lot, I force myself to stay focused...but I just can't. 

I'm constantly waiting for a break, although I just had one for the school trip, one week ago. It already seems a month or two that I'm not temporary away from school. Easter holiday are next week, but I won't be able to stand this all week I still have to face. 

The worst part of this situation is that I know what's going on but I'm not reacting. I keep telling myself I need to study I won't make it to the final exams this year, I keep confessing people that I'm not a good student, not as good as I used to be...I'm just bad now. I feel ignorant, I feel frustrated from the fact that I'm the only one who fails at everything in my class. But still, I do not react. 

I thought it was because I'm way more attached to YouTube than what I used to be (I'm planning to open my YouTube channel this summer, I'm saving money to get a DSLR camera that can film as well), because I'm often busy with theater, because I'm focused in this blog...it's not like this. 

All I do is sitting in front of the desk, with or without headphones on, and start wandering why I'm doing nothing, what's wrong with me, what's the solution at this situation.

Give up and repeat the year? It seemed an option, that I didn't confess to anyone of course. But again, it's a sufferance to stay in this high school, I'm looking forward to go to Uni, I need to change life, I can't stand another year like this one. 

I don't feel the pressure of the exams coming, I don't care about what my teachers say when I take a bad mark. And I don't even feel like this blog post helped me out in any way, I would love to have a positive feedback from all you people that are part of the 675 visualizations I reached. 

I need your advises. When I started writing I didn't really think that someone could be interested in this "little internet space of mine" but than I saw the visualizations growing higher and higher after every blog post and now I'm expecting and hoping for a proper "talk" with you. 

I don't know what to do . This blog post is the way I have chosen to let off steam! Sorry if it's not the average one i write, I just didn't feel like an average calm post.

I'm back from Budapest and Prague .

HeyHey

How are you all ? I'm so tired because of the flight-bus trip back home we did yesterday evening, and Saturday (so today) was not enough to recover because we walked so much during the past week, we had to wake up around 7 so yeah, I needed to sleep as much as i could ! But i can definitely say that the ice cream I had with my friends this afternoon fully recharged me !

This is a short summary of my last school trip that, I need to say in advance, I enjoyed a lot ! Next year I'll miss all my school mates for sure.

We left on Monday morning and, with the bus, we arrived in Pisa where we took an airplane for Budapest and we arrived at the Tulip Inn Millenium (that was not a nice hotel, in my opinion), where we slept for two nights. We went in the center for an hour or something in the evening, but the proper visit of the city was done the day after. On Tuesday evening i had a really big beer that was sooo good!

On Wednesday morning we left and, after 7 hours of bus, we finally arrived in Prague. The hotel was definitely better, check it out here, and also the food was really nice: we had all the dinners in a close restaurant that is associated with the hotel, some of us didn't think it was decent but I personally found it good, in terms of food taste. We visited Prague the days after. I had already been there 5 years ago, or something like that, with my family but I didn't remember half of the things I saw and visited this week, also Prague is one of those city you can't get tired off. As we did, many other Italian schools were there in their school trip and it was fun to meet new people, especially because we were a group of 22 girls and one guy, so let's admit that we had many guys groups around us ahah . On Saturday afternoon we left again with the bus and we had our flight back home. We arrived in Rome and than we took the bus to reach my city.

I had so much fun. Travelling, as I said many times, it's the best thing in the world. I loved every single moments there and I'm sad I'm back home, not because I don't like my life here but I'm constantly looking for a life-change experience abroad !

I bought many things during the trip plus all the orders I did on the internet arrived, so I can definitely say that my next blog posts will be hauls. 

Hope you enjoyed reading about my travel. Comment below telling me about your school trips or your impressions about those two city (If you've been there) and stay tune on Flickr because I'll upload soon some pictures  :)
