I didn’t edit much new photos lately, so I decided to do a recap through a Q&A !

How has your photography hobby developed ?
Pretty slowly, but nicely ! Because I’m still kind of crippled by my rheumatoid arthritis, (I’ve had a horrible flare-up start two years ago), between the fatigue and the chronic pain it has been really hard to adjust anything in my life. But I’ve tried to focus on photography as much as I could when I was feeling okay, and I put some photos on 500px for sale, and managed to get enough sales to buy a little compact camera soon ! It won’t be a professional one, but I have my eyes on something that will give me the feels I’m looking for in my aesthetic. Also it will be a great change from shooting with an iPhone, so step by step, I’m coming back to more serious “photography” basically 😅.

What have you been doing on your free time ?
Mostly spending time with family really, they have been the best support system. I’m trying to reconnect with as many family members as I can, because we all kinda live different places. But nothing can replace a good time with your dear family, also best friends, so I’m literally striving for it.

What movies or series have you seen recently, that are worth the watch ?
Well… I’m a notorious Netflix binge watcher, and who can blame me since sometimes I can’t do much else but watch a show or movie to pass the time when I’m feeling bad. I’ve been obsessed with Lost lately, I’m on season 5 and it’s the best one yet ! Honestly it gets more and more interesting as the episodes carry on. I’ve also seen the new season from Emily in Paris, and Selling Sunset ! Love those shows 💞 Other notable shows I’d recommend watching are Griselda, America’s Sweetheart Dallas Cowboys, and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. As far as it goes for movies I absolutely adored Pearl, and think Mia Goth should have gotten an Oscar for that role, she was impressive. Ford v. Ferrari was also an amazing movie.

What’s the best book you’ve read in the last five years ?
Literally the Bible 😂 sorry, not sorry. I love G.od, and it’s really just been my best read.

What’s your current skincare routine ?
I often change the products I use, but I always mist my face, right now with Uriage. Then I apply a serum, I try to find something brightening, like containing vitamin C. Then my face cream, Caudalie at the moment, and my eye cream is La Roche Posay. I mix my sunscreen which is Avène, with my Caudalie CC Cream… and start with my every day nude makeup.

What perfume are you currently wearing ?
My boyfriend gifted me this beautiful bottle from Van Cleef & Arpels, which was really sweet because it’s named “California Rêverie” and he’s done that as a wink to my living abroad five years in Los Angeles. Which I always yap about, and miss. It smells like fresh jasmine, it’s the most delicate and feminine odour, I’m in love ❤️.

What did you enjoy eating this summer ?
Lots of ice cream. I had this thing for the nocciolata ice cream flavor, I would go to Amorino just for that and that only 😂 Oh and I would love to pretend that I’m super fancy, but my palate has been Americanized, give me a good burger with fries, I’ll take a pizza over anything, a plate of crispy fried chicken with some Heinz ketchup and I’m in heaven.

What was your to go drink this summer ?
Of course you’re not gonna be surprised about my answer, since I’m a millennial, it’s iced latte ! Which I would make myself home, sometimes twice a day, it’s divine to sip on during those hot summer days. And I use cow’s milk ! Again, sorry not sorry ! I’m also a lover for dry white wine, or some rosé comes the evening.
