Still breathing

Do you like Lush? If you do, you should consider Lush UK. It's the cheapest online shop they have, and my first order went very smooth (with the Italian online shop, I always had weird problems!). Of course I've bought too much, but I loved Lemony Flutter and I'm very happy to have it! I love to feel all idratate and flavoured!

And, because UK is the best, there is another website you want to know: Bookdepository!
Without shipping cost, you can buy a lot of books (in English, of course) for very very cheap prices! I wonder if in UK it's normal to have such prices for books... If yes, I should live there. And, the site sells too some stationery. Labels, postcards, notebooks... you just have to search a bit. The "search system" is very messy I think, but not so bad.

I bought Anne Taintor's postcards! They're amazing!

Progress: 22/50

I still haven't found my BOOK OF THE YEAR, I have to say. Maybe I should read more by Cioran.

I loved to spend some time signing the places where I've been, on the Trip Advisor's map.
Well, the problem is... To look at this map makes me sad! I've seen so little of the world! I really need to travel more!
For now, I'm planning to visit Palermo and Roma. What next? Who knows...

Shopping list

What do you do, when you're a bit sad?
I'm feeling kind of tired these days, and when I feel like this... I waste money on Etsy! Oh well, that's not an advice, because you need to know that I could really spend a fortune on it. And that isn't good. (but it's VERY funny!)
So, what will erase my boredom this time? (click on the description to go to the shop!) (but be wise and don't buy TOO MUCH!)

Lovely handmade envelopes

Aww... Another rubber stamp for me!

My first zine ever. I mean, the first I'll read. It seems great!

Oh well, I can't live without notebooks. And the handmade ones... Yum!

Another zine. This will be super, I'm sure!

Labels, because I always need them. (and I'm too lazy to print my own ones... but I should start. I'll do. I promise.)

Rubber stamps!

Ruby-red inkpad for my new stamps!

Postcard love

I'm happy to see some of my followers care about little stationery shops. I have to say, destiny is unfair. I discovered only today that the little closing one has... postcards! I mean, not the one with pictures of my city, but with animals, flowers... and Diddl. Well, a LOT with Diddl. But they're postcards!
So, I haven't got a lot of money to send postcards with Postcrossing, but sometimes I send one. And, even if I've always ignored the joy of stamped and written postcard... now, I'm starting to feel it. A piece of world, a voice from somewhere far far away... just in my mailbox, randomly. What a nice idea!
But, if you would like to fill your postcard wall with nice sent postcard (or, if you just want to send something cute to your friends - I really think we should do that more!!), where could you find something?
Of course, the answer is... Etsy.
