A little road trip took us to the small city of Norcia in Umbria. Pretty crowded on our arrival, but it's August after all, the busiest tourist month. Very cute town with lots of small shops offering local gastronomic specialties like lentils, cheese, truffles and all kinds of salamis and prosciuttos. I spare you the wild boar's heads on display everwhere. :( we passed by the lovely little boutique hotel Palazzo Seneca and went in for a look around and to check out a room. Tres nice indeed, even for a dinner or a drink in their charming atmosphere. We chose a local trattoria for lunch, Trattoria dal Francese, where we stuffed our faces like there was no tomorrow. Phew!

a fili’s special?

Aug 10. 2011

We're all agreeing on that drinking water like a camel is the right thing to do, but once in a while, a drink, a glass of bubbles, a spritz or a glass of vine, is just divine!!! A couple of years ago, I started doing this drink, served fresh at the poolside in the afternoon and therefore it got my name: a Fili's! It's even been published in a Swedish magazine, so it's official! Here is what you need: Fresh mint leaves, lemon, ice, rum and Sprite. Slice the lemon and squeeze a slice into each glass, leaving some slices intact, mint leaves (pressing them they give off some more flavor), lots of ice, rum as strong as you like it and fill...

Yesterday I felt a bit low (yep happens even to Fil positive!), I kept my sunglasses on, didn't want to talk etc. So, I figured the only thing to do was to move my behind a bit! At the moment it felt like a nightmare, but after an hour run/walk around the hills and a dip in the pool, I felt like a million dollars again! It's really the solution, move, eat well, sleep, surround yourself with the right kind of people that give you something, not the energy thieves, enjoy every moment, even the smallest things and try to transmit positivity to others. And then of course I like to add all the unnecessary things, because sincerely, they're so...

I really find it stimulating to snap pictures, create situations and do still lifes. With a view like the one I have from my hill, everything is so much easier! Scheduling a photo course for the fall, to learn some more about the technical aspects. Today I offer on the menu some beauty advice, because even if you don't use a lot of makeup in the summer, the cleansing, hydrating and the nourishing of your skin shouldn't be forgotten in the summer lazy mode. Of course the number one rule is to drink a lot of water! If you drink like a camel, you're on right track, and your skin will show the difference! To remove my eyemakeup (yeah, i might...

figuring it out

The sweetest snack is a fig, picked right off the tree. In order not to go completely back to the roots, wearing fig leaves, I'm using my Tibi skirt and Urban outfitters lace top doing the task. ...
