Ahh, it feels so strange to come back to my spot of the Internet. I haven't blogged in what seems forever and haven't been spending much time online either. As always, I would LOVE to have the best, coolest excuses ever, like "guys, I have been travelling to wonderful, breath-taking places and didn't have time to be constant on my blog". But we'd all know this is lies. What I have been doing 24/7 is school stuff, then tests, then exams, then just random, real life crap happened and now here we go again with me complaining about how sad and sorry I am. 

This is so weird and I hope I'm still able to write... . 

If you are/were a student, you will know how amazing and fun the jolly month of May is - I smell a lot of irony here. 

May should be the best month of the whole year, when all you want to do is make sure you're making the most of school and spending time with your school friends you won't probably be seeing that often during the Summer break. May is the last month of school, therefore everybody should be happy that the school term is about to be over. In reality, this is not how my May's have been for the past three years. Instead, every day of the month includes anxiety, exams and tests. Every weekend implies me staying at home revising for the exams of the week. 

This might not be every student's situation throughout May, but I'm sure we can all agree there are some moments of the year that are more stressful than others. 

Now, after a busy, stress-packed May, a more relaxing June came. Which was just what I needed. 

A week ago, I came home after the best, most fun 6 days spent with 8 friends of mine in the mountains. It was extremely nice to de-stress and get some fresh air far away from the city. We stayed at my friend's house and had the best time. 

Every morning we would wake up quite early and have breakfast outside in the garden, then head off for a morning walk. One day, we even spotted some fawns - definitely something you are not used to in the city. The landscapes were utterly breath taking and I wish we stayed more! 

In the afternoon, we normally chilled out at home watching films, playing card games, doing each other's makeup, reading books, having ice creams, taking pictures or going for a wander. 

Moreover, at night, we wrote songs, played card games again, watched films or just gossiped until 4 am, as one does.

Hello! I have a fun little blog post for you today where I want to talk you through the last concert I went to. 

On 20th June 4 friends and I took a train to Milan to see Little Mix live for their only Italian date! I had already met the girls in 2013 and so got very excited when they announced the dates for the Get Weird Tour 2016, as I desperately wanted to see them again. 

I've been supporting Perrie, Jesy, Leigh Anne & Jade since the X FACTOR era and really watched them grow and improve through the years. Their music is fun, energetic, positive, catchy and sometimes meaningful too - let's think about tracks like "Little me", "Towers", "These four walls", "Good Enough" and the list could go on and on. 

Little Mix is the only band I listen to and "DNA" is probably even the first album I've ever got. What is interesting is that I met some of the most amazing people through this girl band. I remember attending my first year of Senior school and not knowing anybody of my classmates. At the time, and especially in Italy, Little Mix weren't very popular and it was quite rare to find somebody who liked them as much as I did. When I introduced myself to some girls of my class and admitted my huge appreciation for the band, I found out that I wasn't the only one and we all started singing their songs. Even now, three years later, we often find ourselves singing Little Mix songs during breaks or even lessons - I so wish I was joking but I'm not hahaha. You can say it was Little Mix that ignited our friendship at the beginning.  

So, three years later, here we go, the five of us, to a Little Mix concert, ready to get weird! 

The girls absolutely killed it and it was no surprise. I loved the fact that it wasn't just a concert - it was more like a show, I would say. The scenography was majestic, the lights fantastic and can we talk about the girls dancing? I think i loved every second of it. It held place outdoors and we didn't have seat, so due to my height the pictures won't be that great, but I hope you enjoy anyway.
