Things I love Thursday - Vol.4

Another week and another Things I love Thrusday date!

Yesterday we step foot into the Lent that will lead us to the Easter in 40 days time. Easter is one of my favourite time of the year: I just love the traditional cooking that comes in the immediate days before it.

The week's going allright so far, job's keeping me busy (like busy-busy), but I am coping fine so far. And I am still reading and enjoying time off with my family, that's what I really care about.

So, what I love this Thursday and want to share with my readers?!

1) Pizza - I am Italian and I can't but loving a good pizza! I am also pretty good at making my own pizza. Since I was diagnosed with severe lactose intolerance I had to learn to cook my own food at home, and that also include pizza. My favourite pizza? Pizza Margherita: tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil (oh, I love basil on my pizza!).

2) The Walking Dead - I am not one for Zombie, I've never been and I didn't watch this one tv series untill I moved in with my hubby. He's a tv series freak and watches (way too) many series. Among them there's this one also. I happened to sit on the sofa one night with him and he was watching the first episode of 4th season. Well, I couldn't help getting hooked to the story and the characters and I am now watching season 4 with hubby and at the same time catching up on old seasons. It's addictive, really. I am like "I absolutely need to know what happens next" as soon as an episode of the Walking Dead is over!

 

3) Rimmel London Nailpolish - This English Rose color is my favourite and the one I am mostly wearing these days! It's a nice pastel shade: perfect for me!

Things I love Thursday - vol. 3

Happy Thursday folks!

I've been pretty busy this week and I am thankful tomorrow it's Friday already: Weekend is only one day away! Hooray!

As my 32nd birthday draws nearer I collect new things I like and would love to get:

1) Satchel Bag - I've recently fell for these lovely bags! I would so want one for my birthday! I already showed dear hubby where to purchase the perfect satchel from and I hope he'll be so kind to give me one! I like it better in briwnish leather, but any colour will do!

2) A Beakfast in London - a cookbook by Amelia Wasiliev. I saw it at the local bookshop and it's so beautiful a book! It would be perfect on our shelves at home!

3) This Leather Flip Cover - for my Iphone 4s. Isn't it beautiful?!

Things I Love Thursday - vol. 2

Happy Thursday folks! How's your week been so far? Hope you're having a blast! As for me, this week I've been still playing the full-time housewife role. Mind you, I love staying home and taking care of the house and the hubby, still I am well aware we need my job also to keep our household efficiently running.

I still had plenty of spare time to think of three more things I love and want to share on my blog.

1) Neat Handwriting - I am a handwriting freak, really. I love, love, love to look at fellow penpallers handwriting. And the neater a handwriting is the more I love it. I keep my own handwriting the tidier I can and I am proud to receive any positive vibe on the care I put in writing. Now, my handwriting is far from being perfect, but I like to think it's readable for most people.
Truth be told, I've not born with such a tidy handwriting, and untill 13 I used to write in Italic style and it wasn't readable for foreign pals, not for everyone anyway. I decided I had to keep my writing clearer and neater for pals to read it: I deserted the Italic cursive and adopted a more readable font. I am now proud to show my handwriting.

2) Camper shoes - I am absolutely in love with Camper shoes. I own a magnificent pair of them and I can state with no doubt that their are the most comfy shoes I've worn in ages and they are beautiful also that is a plus on shoes. Aren't these shoes adorable?! Want them so much!!!

3) Listography.com - It is a favourite site of mine. I am one for lists of all kinds, starting from grocery lists, to what-to-fit-in-my-bag-before-leaving-for-the-holiday lists! I list down everything I like and I love to keep them lists as a memory. And Listography is the site I was waiting for! A site for listing down everything you want to think of, organizing everything in categories. Oh, I love it indeed!

Things I Love Thursday - vol. 1

Today I write my first post of a new feature on my blog. Things I love Thursday is a popular feature on many of the blogs I follow and I like this feature a lot. I had never considered starting one myself, untill I read that starting a regular feature is good if you want to increase the number of your followers and want your blog to gain more popularity.

Now, I admitt my blog is far from being popular, with only 27 followers on bloglovin (and I want to say special thank to every one of them 27 people who take their time reading my pages!), but getting always new people who click the blue button and start following me does make me so happy and satisfied of what I am creating on this space.

So, I try my luck with Things I Love Thursday and hope I will be able to keep it regular and interesting for my followers to read!

1) French Manicure - I so much love french manicure. I'm not much of a girlie girl, I am not one for make up and pretty dresses. But nails do fashinate me. I wear nail polish regularly, because my nails are not that strong and doing housework does make them even weaker. Nail polish protects them and prevents them from too much flacking. I love all colours of nail polish, the brighter the better! But french manicure is my biggest passion. I learnt to make my own french manicure and I am pretty satisfied with my results (that I proudly want to show on the second photo following this point), but I gave myself a professional french manicure for my wedding. And my! I couldn't stop staring at my nails once the beautician was finished with working on my hands (unluckily our photographer wasn't as keen on my manicure and I haven't got a good enough shot of my french manicure)!

2) Waking up early in the morning - Yes, I love to wake up early in the mornings. I am an early bird, even at weekends. I wake up around 7 am when I am off work and love to indulge in reading while having my favourite breakfast (lactose-free cappuccino and cereals). I love early mornings, when I am the only person awake at home. I've always loved that me-time at home and I don't mind sleeping less if that grants me that luxury!

3) New York Bagels - Oh, I first tasted them in New York in October last year and that was love at first bite! Of course due to my lactose intolerance I couldn't indulge in the many creamy variety of bagel fillings they offered, but I was more than happy with my salami bagel to start a new day with!
