How do you find your true passion?

I’ve been quiet these past few weeks. For many reasons, but one of them stands out from the others: I was having an internal career crisis.

How do you find your true passion?

I’ve been feeling as if I needed to be doing something else, something other than taking pictures in a pretty dress and thinking about work 24/7. I wanted to do something that would make me happy. And then I started thinking: baking makes me happy! watching baking shows makes me happy! Not because I want to eat them, but because just the idea of being able to create something so pretty and making people happy when they taste them makes me even happier.

So I thought, what if I tried? after all my mother is the best baker I know, maybe the baking gene passed onto me?

Fast forward a few days and I’ve been making desserts non stop! Don’t worry, I have my own taste tester who takes them and tries them for me 😉 thank you friend! I also have my roommate who eats the ones that don’t contain lactose.

I always thought baking wasn’t my thing. I considered it linked to cooking, which I hate! but the truth is, baking and cooking are two completely different things. You can be an amazing chef, but a really bad baker and vice versa.

So how do you find your true passion? You keep trying and trying until you stumble upon it. You know you’ve found your true passion when that thing becomes the only thing you can think of and you want to keep bettering yourself.

I wanted to write this post to update you on my current hobby: baking. I’m also taking a baking class this fall which I’m really excited about and I have a few more exciting news that I will be sharing very soon!

In the mean time check out this gorgeous LBD by Self Portrait! I love everything this brand creates and this beauty is both comfortable and elegant. Two of my favourite things!

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world.

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.

Spring in Italy has always brought me serenity and Spring in Italy has always brought me serenity and hope. When I was younger I would open the door and step outside in the mornings to be greeted by fresh, crisp air and the smell of Spring. I’ve always called it that. The smell of spring is that specific scent you breath in and you immediately know that nature is slowly waking up. It’s  when you know that cherry trees and peach trees are beginning to bloom and that the days are going to get longer and warmer. 
Nature awakens and it reminds me of how much beauty there still is in this world.
“You shouldn't try to stop everything from happe “You shouldn't try to stop everything from happening. Sometimes you're supposed to feel awkward. Sometimes you're supposed to be vulnerable in front of people. Sometimes it's necessary because it's all part of you getting to the next part of yourself, the next day.”

The beloved gelato pic has landed! Enjoy! Here’ The beloved gelato pic has landed! Enjoy! 
Here’s an unwanted tip that I’m going to share with you anyways: when in Rome ask for panna on top of your gelato. They usually ask you if you want panna, but in case they don’t, just ask! Whipped cream on top of gelato is a must! 
Tip 2: try the stracciatella flavour. I will never not get stracciatella (a milk-based ice cream filled with chocolate shavings) 😍
I came to Rome, I enjoyed the views, I got my inst I came to Rome, I enjoyed the views, I got my insta pic, I waited forever for a pizza that was never delivered and I witnessed a fight between two guys at the train station. I got the full Roman experience. I can now leave the country happy and satisfied. 👌
