I'm 14 and I'm an introvert. Probably, the most strong example of this psychological phenomena. I've got no friends, I totally depend on the other's opinion, I dress tastelessly, I've got acne. I'm fat and I study a lot. Wait, I am a nerd introvert. This is even worse.

Now I'm 20 and, even if I haven't reached a lot of objectives, haven't inventet a wheel or discovered a new continent, things has changed. I've got a lot of friends and a small, but precious amount of more close ones. I don't give a damn about other's opinion. I dress whatever the hell I want and I do it good. I take care of my skin and body, and I self-improve a lot. I'm no more an introvert. Neither an extrover. I'm a human being.

The Internet of overloaded with psychological tests than promise to make you discover your real self thanks to a couple of stupid questions. Extroverts sounds just like a compliment; Introverts sounds like condemnation. But how come the internet know your personality? Aren't these tests sound a bit...ehm, stupid? Ovbiously, they will list you hundreds of advantages of being an introvert, but let's face it: in every job offer, in every community they'll prefer "sociable and sympathetic people", and you believe you're not like this and you just keeps staying behind the scenes looking at the life passing by you.

I think, the reason of these changes in character is more than evident: fear. If you're shy and talk a little, you're not an introvert, you are just scared of being judged, critisized, and you think nobody needs your opinion. If you're too funny, sociable and active, you're insecure and afraid of showing your real self, so now you're just hiding behind this "perfectly bright" mask. As you could deduce, I do not believe in the distinctions between introverts and extroverts. I believe that we're all equal, we're on the same level with others so we shouldn't hide our real personality or be afraid of being judges. In both cases, you're missing the real life, the real emotions and moments.

So just relax and be yourself. Don't be afraid of being too weak sometimes, or being too strong, of having your strong opinion that's too different from other's or having nothing to say and hide yourself behind the mask. We're human beings, we're equal and free. Do not forget about it.

Hi there! So today I wanna share with you some girly post and talk about morning care routine. Before all, I'd like to notice that I TOTALLY ADORE mornings. I dont know why, it just gave me a feeling of productivity, of freshness, of a new start. Everything wakes up, how sweet!

After a whole night of sleeping, our skin and face needs a special treatment. It's not that I'm a big fan of different creams and balms (I actually think that overuse of all these 'taking-care-pricy-stuff' damage our skin), instead I use more natural ones.

First of all, after all that "teeth cleaning routine", that's needless to describe here, I clean/refresh my skin with Avène Eau Thermale which makes my skin literally breathe. Then, I put a bit of natural hydrating creme from La Roche-Posay. Actually, I'm not used to use cremes under my makeup, being afraid of the fact that my face will look too "shiny". But as winter comes, my skin becomes too dry I can hardly smile. This creme is a total miracle, as it absorbs fast under the skin and makes it stay hydrated for a looong time.

The next step (which I usually do in the evening but, if I've got time and possibility I do in in the morning as well) are eyes. I put a bit of refreshing gel from Yver Rocher under my eyes so that the skin stays hydrated and it also prevents eye bags.

Next part is makeup!
For my simple everyday 'no make up' make up I use:

1. Kiko Mascara
2. NAKED2 palette (foxy+tease)
3. MaxFactor Mastertouch Concealer
4. Avon eyeshadows primer
5. MaxFactor compact foundation
6. Lancome powder
7. Cutie Pinguin lip balm
8. Sephora eyebrow shadows

And, if it's necessary, I also adjust my hair...

Tha's pretty much all! Hope you enjoyed this post, see you very soon x

Let's face it - we all have a secret super plan in our heads. Fat people want to lose weight, office planktons want to move to Thailand and teens want to learn karate. The only problem is that all these plans are usually remain just plans. There're always some different circumstances and life events that constantly push these tasks towards for the future. There is only one way to break this "tradition" - is to take action today!

In this post I'd like to introduce you some tips that will probably help you to get up from the couch and start doing something with your life. Probably there's nothing new or genial in it, just tome basic rules everybody knows. But does everybody apply them?

This is a favorite reason of the postponement of your grandiose plans. "I'll start working on programming when I'll have my days off free", "when it becomes warmer outside, I'll go running" "I'll start travelling when I earn more money" - is it familiar to you?

The truth of life lies in the fact that the ideal conditions for the big start will never arrive. It's just a psychological ploy for justifying their fears and indecision. When your 'long-awaited' condition arrives, you'll always find another one, more difficult obstacle. So, please note that if there's a perfect day to start, then it is today.

We can assess risks, analyze, ask the opinion of experts and weigh all the "pros" and "cons" for eternity. But the fact is that nobody is able to predict the future. It happens that the most crazy idea suddenly "shoot" and meticulous and accurate business plans are sinking.

Before you try your idea in practice, nobody in the world is not be able to predict its fate. And we are talking not only about the business or art, this applies to all the aspects of our lives. In the end, imagine that you will have to write a biography for posterity. You will be proud of your dreams or actions?

Yes, it is true, only in real life, the "cause-effect" connections are so complicated that you can never predict them in your plans. Often, doing even a small step forward your can radically change your life. You start your business in one area, and quite unexpectedly, it turns out that its by-products begins to bring you a basic income. You write a quick note to your blog, and suddenly it gets catched the eye of an entrepreneur who offers you a job. You simply start going to a gym, and meet the love of your life.

Predict all the possible consequences of your actions is quite impossible. Actually, you can, but only in one case - if you do nothing. Then, nothing happens. Sounds quite boring, doesn't it?

There is nothing worse than uncertainty. There is nothing more destructive than unmade actions. Your inner voice will always keep saying you: "If only you talked to that girl..." "Do you remember how you wanted to quit your job?", "Do you remember your never started project? Look and others did it! ". It spoils the mood, causing stress and depression.

If you at least make an attempt to do what  scheduled, then you will immediately feel better psychologically, regardless of the result of an action. First of all because you will get the confidence that your life is under your control and you are doing exactly what is outlined.

Nothing happened? Well, shit happens. Even a negative result is much better than your undone dreams. Anyway, it's a great reason to turn the page and start a new project.

So what is the day today? I think, this is the best day to start! And what do you think?

Milan - is not just a city. It is the style of life. And I'm not talking only about fashion, it represents one of Italian most industrialized cities with a lot things to see and to do.

If you expect to see small streets with flowers on balconies and Vespa's on roads you will be disappointed by Milan. It's not about Italian past, it's all about its future. If you wanna find historcal stones, ruins, streets and houses - welcome to Naples or Rome. Milan is totally different. Thanks to its wide streets, it gives you an impression of the greatness and bigness of the city. Even though it's quite smaller than Rome, for example, you'll feel like you're in ancient version of New York. Obviously, Milan is not as sizeless as The Big Apple, but certainly can give you a lot of opportunities.

One of the things that surprised me the most in Milan is its cleanliness, even in the most distant parts of the city. You cannot always find it in the south. Instead, Milan looks just like everything is on its place. It feels like it follows its rigid rules and never violates them. Seems like Victorian England, huh? 

Needless to mention people of Milan. Dressed so well, they're not walking, they're flying through the streets. You are probably thinking that I'm talking about all those fashionable it-girls, dressed in Chloè and Lanvin, but you're wrong. I'm talking about simple people with the sense of style, that's all.

My travel companions from Salerno used to repeate "Milan is like another world. It's like you're not in italy when you're here". Probably, I wasn't that shocked by it's greatness, cause I've seen big cities and I'm not so surprised, but to see Milan was a sort of discovery for me. I imagined it smaller. More ancient. More fancy. The reality is that it's a simple, big, clean city with the atmosphere which not everyone could belong to. You should have a milanentality - or the mentality of a Milan-citizen. You should run, get, keep your eyes open and take what you want. If you're not like this - who knows either it will change you or you wouldn't be able to bear with the life like this?... 

After a looong pause in writing, I finally realized how the hell do I miss blogging. Always. I'm being constantly inspired by beautiful photos of other bloggers, their stories and and lives. So why don't continue sharing mine? :) Another thing: I'm still extremely undecided in which language to write. English? Italian? Both? Who knows. Both options have pros and cons, but I still dont know. Let me know what do you think :)

Anyway, Halloween 2015 has passed! Did you have fun? What about me, I used to create a special look for about 4 years now, regardless on who I am with and where am I going to go. This year I chose a look inspired by Pat McGrath, a talented fashion makeup artist. The reason I'm in love with her art is that she's unusual and corageous in her makeup looks. Not only she creates simple nude looks for catwalks, but also puts a drop of creativity in it. Just look through some of her works - they're stunning and original. Although it can not be considered a real 'halloween look', I thought it's quite nice to be a sort of "strange twenties' girl". Plus, violet is one of my favorite colors. This look I actually found on Emma Pickles' YouTube Channel, also she is famous for her unusual and original makeup looks.

Summing up, it went out to be a cure retro-look thanks to which I got a lot of compliments that night haha.

ENG: Recetly, I've been incredibly attracted by a sort of 'boho' style. I dont know what precisely influenced on me, whether my mom's dressing preferences or just craving for easiness and lightness - but while I was doing shopping the last time, I bought a plenty of stuff belonging to this style.  Some years ago I haedly could imagine myself wearing feminin clothes, cause all I wore were Converse sneakers, old blue jeans and a printed t-shirt. Instead, now I'm looking for the class and the style in my daily outfits.

As long as it's summertime, it's better to choose easy and bright things to wear, isn't it? This is why I strongly advice you this one - lightweight T-shirts, waving in the wind, denim and knitted shorts, sandals with a flat sole and a minimum of makeup. What about the make-up, I recently posted a tutorial on how to create an easy, golden summer makeup. Why don't you just have a quick lookon it down below? :)

IT: Ultimamente sono stata incredibilmente atratta dallo stile 'boho'. Non so precisamente da cosa sono stata influenzata - dalle preferenze di mia madre nel vestirsi oppure la semplce voglia di leggerezza e chiarezza - ma l'ultima volta che facevo shopping mi sono comprata tantissima roba di questo stile. Un paio d'anni fa non potevo neanche immaginarmi vestirsi in modo 'femminile', perchè portavo solo gli sneakers Converse, jeans vecchi e qualche maglietta. Invece ora sto cercando di introdurre lo stile e la classe nei mieim outfit di ogni giorno.

Siccome ora è ò'estate, è meglio scegliere i capi leggeri e chiari, no? Percio vi consiglio questo stile - leggerissime magliette, pantaloncini di jeans o maglia, scarpe senza tacco e minimo di make up. A proposito, recentemente ho postato un nuovo video tutorial su come crease un leggero trucco dorato estivo. Potete guardalo qua sotto :)
