Think Yoga

Yoga! Yoga! Yoga! I love it more and more for every time I attend a class. Today I once again join Aloha to her yoga class in central Milan and it was as good as last time...

I actually think that yoga instructor is the best I have ever had while practicing yoga, and I have tried many different ones both in Milan, London and Stockholm. She is explaining well and as the group is small, just 6 people day, she walks around helping each one pushing themselves at their limits.

Today it took me a while before I found the concentration but I feel satisfied anyway. I manage to concentrate on my breathing more than I normally do which I know is great. And I think Aloha does as well as she manage to do "the bridge" for the first time :) Tomorrow we will both be in big pain.

Christmas shopping at Rinascente and dinner at Luini

Apart from some eatable things I finally finished my family Christmas shopping today. It was time to have it over and done as I started off in October!!

After work my colleague Aloha and I rushed to Rinascente to enjoy some special sales and we got what we needed plus some more ;)

And then, already in the Duomo area and in a big need for something to eat before the yoga class we hooked some pancerottis from famous Luini. I used to eat lunch there quite often while working at Rinascente and I must say I kind of have missed it.

Christmas dinner at Itouke with Stefii

And finally it was time for the Mine and Steffi's yearly Christmas dinner.

After having big problems to find a free table in any sushi restaurant in town we found a table at 9pm at Itouke Restaurant, a Japanese place where neither of us had tried before. The restaurant was pretty with friendly staff. The sushi was ok but every piece had too much rice attached for my taste. However a good dinner.

So happy to see Stefii even if it was just for an evening!

Jean Claude Biguine hairdresser

Went back at my new favorite hairdresser tonight, Jean Claude Biguine in Porta Venezia. I am so happy I finally found a hairdresser in Milan so I don't have to go to Como every time I need to cut 2 cm of my hair...  I got satisfied this time as well!

Now I am off for a little Christmas dinner with Stefania :)

Blog post 450

Blog percent in the western world, quite interesting, isn't it? I am one of 42% as I only have one blog and it is hardly I find time to keep up with this one... image more than one!?

However, this is post 450 in 2012 and I have decided I gonna reach 500 within the end of 2012. That means I need to post at least 2 a day...

Cesare Cremonini - Una Come Te

Such boring day. I still have stomach ache and I haven't had energy doing anything... Booooring!

Shaing a lovely Italian romantic song :)

Face peeling

My two face peeling products products are both finishing and I need to get a new one. I have been recommended
- Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel 
and
- St Ives Apricot Scrub exfoliating
Have someone ever tried any of them?

The two I have been using has both been good.
- Peel me perfectly by Givenchy is my absolute favorite. It gives a great clean and smooth feeling afterwards.
- Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel has been nice too. It also leaves a soft and smooth feeling and the perfume is nicer than the Givenchy one. But I have to say that of these two Givenchy is far much better.

Now its time to get a new one. Which one should I choose?

Feeling better but not good

Good morning world. Above you see a picture of me this morning ;) Or maybe an illusion of how I am feeling. Jezez. I thought I would be fit for fight today, but the Doctor was right, I am for sure not. You readers that has been asking me if I am never sick, here you go, I am sick. Are you happy? ;)

I might not be a person that is suffering from a cold or something every month. I guess it is the lifestyle I am living that helps me prevent it. I sleep a lot, I eat well and varied and I exercise as much as I can. I can promise you that that helps. BUT, I have the weakest stomach on earth and whatever happens I get problems with it. Hate it. And that's why I am at home sick today,

Preparing a white tea with some white bread now and then I think I hit the bed again.

Lots of tea in need

I am off sick from work.

Last night was a pure nightmare and only around midday today I manage to get up from bed. In the afternoon I went to my scary Italian Doctor that ordered me to stay home at least one more day from work. I asked for only today while he thought 4-5 days off would be good, so the agreement become two days of total rest and only eating white food and drinking lots of water and tea.

Tonight Anna popped in to look after me a bit. I offered her a tea and she was slightly fascinated of the tea collection she could choose from that we got in this house...

Now I gonna try to sleep. But in some kind of way I am afraid getting to bed and being equally terrible sick I was yesterday. Fingers crossed I won't be.

Fratelli la Bufala Tricinese

After a long day at the handcraft fair the idea was to go for a nice pizza with a good friend so we did. And we did had a good time.

Now I feel sick just watching these pictures as I got home from the dinner with stomach ache, later I had massive stomach cramps and later in the night I had to get up as I felt sick.... Didn't sleep a minute during the whole night. 

Today I am home sick, I feel better but still not good. Bloody restaurant ;)
