Maghetta Streghetta
I don't speak Italian, but that hasn't stopped me from falling in love with this cute little drawing created by Iaia Guardo (her "real" name is Grazia, but I LOVE the name Iaia), an incredibly talented Italian blogger (a true artist, I would say). She cooks, she draws, she takes photographs and she's "molto carina"!!
I started following her over a year ago on Instagram and now I cannot wait for her to share her latest wonderful crazy ideas every single day (note: I use the word "crazy" in the most loving and adorable way, believe me). Remember my entry about Mr Wonderful? Well, with Iaia is the same, she always manages to put a huge smile :) on my face... And I love that about people and things!
I bought her recipe book in the Italian Amazon site and it is being difficult to translate (spoken Italian is easier to "follow" and understand!!), but I still love every part (yes, now you've discovered I'm a bit crazy myself).
Her latest creation is a box of candies in collaboration with Pastiglie Leone. I'm not sure yet if I will be able to buy it online, but I sure will try!

25 random facts about me
I read this from a friend and was amazed to discover that I agreed with 90% of "his facts", so this is basically a copy from his list (Luisvi, I always knew we had soooo many things in common!!).
1. Family is priority #1, #2 and #3. But it's important to know that *blood related* is not the same as *family*. I'm lucky to have family on both sides of the pond!!
2. Some good friends are family too
3. Laughter is a basic need... I’m very lucky to know a few people who master this art
4. A good laugh at the right time with the right person can make you discover the meaning of life ツ
5. I firmly believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
6. A good car is... Anything with 4 wheels, a motor and a steering wheel that takes someone from point A to point B. I don't like them. I prefer to take the train.
7. I love all kinds of food (except for Brussels sprouts), but I have chosen to be a vegetarian (most of the time).
8. Regrets I‘ve got a few, but then again too few to mention ;)
Seriously, I regret having wasted too much time dreaming about what I’d like to do as opposed to making an effort to make it happen.
9. I struggle to forgive myself for some of the things I've done. It always seems easier to forgive others...
10. I enjoy meeting people and having friends from ALL walks of life…
11. I admire honest people.
12. It is nice to be home, but it's also nice to be everywhere.
13. I have lived in a few different countries/regions and deep down I feel I haven't found my place in the world just yet **sigh**
14. Some people like a certain kind of movies, some other people like all kinds of movies… I don't like terror, but tend to enjoy everything else!
15. I’ve watched ★Star Wars★ over 100 times… I'm pretty sure not everyone can beat this compulsive obsession.
16. I still need to understand why I always hurt the people I love the most.
17. Work is only the means to an end… Nothing more.
18. I've never managed to understand the *Winner-Loser* concept… What race are we running anyway? (Assuming we're all running the same one!)
19. I like to believe that I am yet to find the true love of my life… I don’t give up on finding THE one. Only time will tell if it's meant to be...
20. Sometimes I can be a total nervous wreck! Huge *thanks* to my loving ones for their immense patience.
21. My next goal is to finally learn to speak German properly. Some day I'd love to study photography... Just for the pleasure of it!
22. I'm a pretty good listener, but I can hardly manage to give a good answer.
23. I’d love to travel around the World for at least a couple of years or so… Anyone has the money and wants to come along?
24. I don’t really care where I’m heading, my main goal is to enjoy the journey wherever it takes me.
25. My motto (and probably my favourite song!) is... "LET IT BE".
