Buonasera everyone ! I have recently been crazy about the idea of summer and that I need to get fit again. Probably most people are starting to realize that Summer is just a few months away and you can already see many of them running along the Sliema front! That's where I come in - I don't do that and at the moment I am doing absolutely no exercise at all unfortunately. I feel so guilty BUT I have made a new resolution and that is to start jogging on the front for at least 3 times a week. Hopefully, I will be joining a gym very soon and that way I could start joining the classes as well, which I personally really enjoy. I had tried yoga around two years ago because I am quite flexible from the gymnastics and dance I have done throughout my childhood, and it actually gave me a lot of body pains instead of "relaxing" my body! I don't know if perhaps I was doing it wrong? The pains were in my lower back at the time, and my neck. If anyone reading this has some information regarding why I was getting the pains, I would love to know! Needless to say, I stopped because the pain really demotivated me. I want to give it another go though, and hopefully I won't experience pain of any kind this time around :)

As promised, I had a shoot for FUSHIA on Tuesday and these are three bags I really liked out of the whole stock! There are some lovely clutch bags and pretty pale pink handbags too - the colours are all Spring-inspired, which makes it perfect for this season, of course! Many earthy tones as well as there being a couple of bold colours such as bright coral, royal blue and red, so if any of you are looking for bags for Summer - look no further! Most bags are around €29.99, however other smaller bags and clutches are around €15.00 which I would say is definitely worth it and within budget for most people. I haven't bought any myself yet, but I will be going back this weekend, so I might get myself a little treat!

Since Monday, I have discovered a little cafe' in Valletta called Gugar! I went yesterday with a friend I had known years ago from higher secondary, Fran, before Fred and Dan joined us for yummy food, herbal teas, some beer and of course, a game of competitive Ludo. Today has been a day of full-on editing and this weekend I am pretty busy meeting clients, and having a pre-planned good time. On Friday I am meant to be going to a friend's birthday party, on Saturday night I have a rave, and on Sunday a BBQ! On Monday I will be having a photoshoot inspired by dancing/movement which I haven't done before, so it will be exciting to see what the model, Amy, and I, can come up with :) I love the balance between work and play, and unfortunately I do need to have a rest because I am falling asleep with the long hours I have been in front of this computer. Hi5 for sleep, though, I love that too.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

21:21

Good evening, it's me once again reporting back to let you all know what is happening in my life at this very moment in time! This weekend has been quite relaxed overall, and I did have the shoot at the Phoenicia on Friday morning. That was for an executive event, and I was mostly filming the VIPs' speeches however I did take a couple of shots here and there and will be showing them to you all very soon. Unfortunately I was extremely sick and had fever on the shoot, so it was not the most enjoyable time for me, but work is work, and if it's important I must go through with it! (Notice the positivity - would not have been so happy about it if I had to describe how I was feeling on the day haha!) But as you all know, a while ago I had my external hard-disk freak out on me, which was quite stressful and once I got it back, I have been trying to find time to actually sort out all my photos, videos, documents, etc. since 2007 approximately and today was the day! I have basically just realised that I have at least another three full days of trying to sort everything out! My photography has always been in organised folders but everything else is all over the place, and I have had this urge lately to organise everything in my life. I am hoping that by the end of this week all the things will be in their right place.

As for my weekend in general? Well Saturday it was International Women's Day (holla to the chicks x) and I got a little surprise from Fred : a plastic rose, because all the flower stores were closed on a Saturday at 4pm (keep in mind, it will last forever at least) and a cute Me to You teddy along with a caramel egg chocolate :) We also went with Dan to the aquarium, which was quite lovely. I had been with a friend of mine called Camila just a couple of months ago for the first time, but it was time to visit the underwater world again, I felt. Here are just a couple of pictures I took with my phone while I was there :)

Yesterday was pretty much a usual, relaxing Sunday and in the evening, Fred, Dan and I had gone for some Indian At Sharma, which is a great Indian/Arabian/Mediterranean restaurant in Mdina. It was my second time going, and again, it has surpassed by expectations. I am not really keen on very spicy foods, and I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala by mistake instead of the Chicken Korma, which I really like. It was still amazing! Took a couple of more gulps of water, but it was all good in the end! I also shared some Pitta bread with hummus dip and Kulcha bread with Fred, YUM. Whilst we were there, there was a small leaflet mentioning another restaurant called THEOS which is also in Mdina and it specialises in Greek, Ottoman and Calabrian dishes - looks fantastic and I had a look at their website and some photos of the interiors for the place, and it looks absolutely gorgeous, well worth visiting soon! Perhaps in the weekend :)

Last but not least, what's happening this week for me? Well tomorrow I have a shoot at a retail store called FUSHIA in Sliema for their handbags and interiors. Looking very forward to that and I am also planning a Spring-inspired shoot with an upcoming stylist, so that's quite exciting, and I will update you all on what's happening next in my life on Thursday! Lots of love xo
