How this Pandemic has brought me closer to my family and friends

If I look back at these past months, I can divide them into chapters.

Chapters of a book I never thought I would write.

I would divide this book into chapters titled with different emotions.

I went through periods of confusion, followed by a feeling of loss, periods of calm and tranquillity followed by jolts of productiveness just to have this whole mix of emotions begin again as if following a vicious cycle.

How this Pandemic has brought me closer to my family and friends

One thing I can say for sure that’s been stable through this whole time is the time spent with my sister, my friends and family. Although it was hard to only be able to talk to them from a far for a while I think this time has made us realize how important those relationships are for all of us.

I used to spend the first months scheduling calls with my friends and my family and now that we can finally see each other in person we don’t take for granted every encounter and meeting like we used to. At least I used to.

After all ‘there’s always tomorrow right?’

There couldn’t be an answer more wrong than that one!

People always say, and I read it in books all the time, ‘enjoy every moment because you never know when the last one will be’ but most of the time we become busy, life gets in the way and we reschedule meetings, hang outs and dinners because of 1000 different excuses our brains come up with and we think: ‘after all there’s always tomorrow right?’

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. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

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. 👌
