Strolling 🌸 All I can say is that I wish I could spend more time like this with my daughter. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Saturday 💋 • • • #strolling #weekend #mumanddaughter #frolo #mummy #love #springvibes #sunny #lifesgood #motherhood #london #citylife

I’m currently testing the @greenpeopleuk skincare line for kids called Organic Babies and I’m loving it 😍! Their nappy cream is so smooth and quick to apply that is exactly what I need, as I currently have less than two seconds available to apply it 🙄, if I’m lucky. All other products in this picture are a 💯 👍🏼 for me and would definitely buy them again. What I like the most about @greenpeopleuk is that their founder is a woman 😌 and they’re certified organic by three certification bodies, meaning that their product can be 100% trusted in terms of ingredient used. And this is so important for me. For all of you who suffer from eczema and sensitive skin, adults and babies, their range is the most friendly using plants with loads of therapeutic properties like Chamomile, Calendula and Lavender 🌾. No nasty stuff like parabens, SLS, propylene glycol and many more. Also, how cool is that their sunscreen tube is made of sugar cane plastic 😯?! When their products have been presented to me few weeks ago I was absolutely amazed by their ethics and can’t wait to try all the products they gifted to me on my little one and explore the adults range too 🥰. Guys never overlook the labels, there’s so much crap sold out there with the “organic” word slapped on the front but then, when you look at the ingredients at the back they’re actually 😦🚫. With @greenpeopleuk Organic Babies you go safe! 💚 Don’t forget to use the 15% discount code BABYCARE19 when you purchase any of their baby & child products on their website!!! 🍀 • • • #goodnessyoucantrust #greenpeopleuk #organic #organicskincare #organicproducts #organicbabies #love #london #parenting

For a very long time I’ve been thinking of sharing my thoughts on a topic I very do care about but never felt entitled to open a conversation on because my lifestyle is still not fully mirroring my believes. For all things, it’s better said than done, right? 🙃 I’m talking about sustainable fashion and a more mindful lifestyle. When I was little and living with my parents and sister, I’ve been spending a lot of weekends and holidays immersed in the nature 🌳🌾⛰🏕. We were hiking, camping, skiing and exploring the beauties of our territory on a regular basis. I’ve been taught to appreciate the little things and to respect this beautiful world in which we live. I’ve been taught to not waste anything, from food to water, and to value everything we had and the position of privilege that we were living in. I feel very lucky to have grown in these values but at the same time I acknowledge that nowadays’ hectic life and ephemeral life goals have set me apart from that slow paced and full of life world 🐌🐞🦋🐄🐓🦔🌱🌿🌻. As I said before, I’m working on challenging my limits and my tendency to set myself back (for no real reason). What is setting me back on being more mindful about what I buy, where I buy and how much I buy, for example? I know that my daily choices might look like a drop in the sea compared to the environmental and economy related issues that we are facing at the moment. But the immensity of these problems shouldn’t stop me (and you) to do my part. From now on I’ll be fully committed to make some little steps to change my habits and I’m sure that, in the long term, this will be very beneficial for everyone, especially for the new generations, who we should care more about 🌸. I’m sure some of you are much more ahead on this so, for example, is there any sustainable fashion brands that you buy and would recommend as well as skincare and makeup products? For me these are the most challenging categories at the moment🤔 Thanks for dropping your suggestions in the comments below 🙏🏼😘 Happy Sunday to you all ♥️ • • • #sustainablefashion #mindfullifestyle #mindfulness #sustainableproducts #london #mother #parenting #lifegoals #change #motheranddaughter

There’s nothing better than a family reunion enjoying a delicious traditional lunch in a place that feels like home 🇮🇹 Thank you @lorenzoposocco @caudavide ♥️♥️ • • • #friendship #family #eatlaughlove #italianbabes #italiansdoitbetter #italianrestaurant #home #carbonara #love #london #mother #daughter #joy #bellefigone #ifyouknowyouknow #gloria

Change is a process and you need to allow yourself time to adjust into it. It’s now time for me to move onto the next step, which is all about shifting things once again in order to get closer to the life that I dreamt and that I deserve for myself and my family 👩‍👧. It might sound obvious but what really matters to me now is to spend my precious time trying to achieve wholeness in all aspects of my life. I will need to fight fears and insecurities that are normally holding me back. I will listen to what my gut has to say 😁 and I will do what my heart is pushing me to do without opposing resistance. I honestly can’t wait to see what’s to come but I’ll be patient and work hard towards my goals. Stay tuned ♥️! • • • #woman #goals #lifegoals #mother #motherhood #singleparenting #change #selflove #london #familyoftwo

May is probably my favourite month on this platform because we talk more about mental health. Taking care of my mental wellbeing is a priority. I’m fully aware that I’m a work in progress and I’m fine with that. There’s been several instances in my life where I looked for help and, as much as it’s been hard to do so, I’ve been always proud of myself for being able to overcome that social misconception for which “we have to hold it together”, no matter what. Bullshit. So when someone says to me “you need help!” with the intention of offending me or making me feel bad about myself I just think that that person is the one that needs the most help. Here is to self care and self love, may this become a priority for all of us. ♥️ • • • #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #weareallaworkinprogress #selflove #selfcare #normalisementalhealth #london

Today I’m supporting a beautiful initiative by @medela_uk called The Big Breastfeeding Cafe which aim is to spread positive messages about breastfeeding 🤱🏻. I couldn’t be happier to contribute to this conversation as I’m still breastfeeding my 17 months old daughter. I hosted some friends at mine for a cup of tea and a chat about our breastfeeding experience and can I say something? It was nice and comforting to be surrounded by non judgmental people on this topic. Feeling supported in this aspect of my daily life is very important, especially now that my daughter is over a year old and most people still look surprised when they know that I’m still breastfeeding. Everyone’s path is different and every baby/toddler is different. For this reason I dream of a society where there’s no judgemental attitude towards the way a baby is fed and, if breastfed, for how long he/she is breastfed. For my daughter and I breastfeeding is the best way to nurture the body, mind and our relationship. It’s not just a one way giving of nutrients from me to her. It’s a circular exchange of emotional and chemical elements that are beneficial for both of us. I also believe that it’s helping us going through safely one of the most challenging moments of our lives where we are still adjusting into new routines and lifestyle. I would love to hear from you too if there’s anything you’d like to share or you feel like you can relate to. What have you most enjoyed about breastfeeding? What challenges have you overcome when breastfeeding? 💕 • • • #thebigbreastfeedingcafe #breastfeeding #medela #motherhood #myexperience #london #mama

Right now I’m thinking about my pregnancy and (aside for the physical pain) I’m realising how magical those 9 months have been. It’s been an intimate journey I did with my deepest self and my daughter. They’ve been nine months of preparation to welcome the purest and biggest love that a human being can experience in a lifetime. I made mental and physical space for her. I changed my habits and I turned even more into a responsible and respectful person. They’ve been the happiest months of my life simply because I reached that peaceful inner stillness where I knew what I had to do, although I was panicking over the thought of a nappy change and baby outfits. I was already the rock that my daughter was expecting to meet on the other side. And I also now realise how there was next to me someone that was already mentally gradually walking away. My daughter and I were meant to proceed our life as a unit of two but I lived my all pregnancy in the illusion that the number three would have just been the beginning of a growing family. So this is where I’m grateful to the power of nature, it got me ready to be the rock for two in the space of nine months. The work that I have to do now is to bring back that peaceful inner stillness, because it’s there, because I deserve to live in it. This beautiful work of art is of @tayneetinsley always speaking my heart and soul out ♥️ • • • #singleparenting #familyoftwo #purelove #motheranddaughter #motherhood #pregnancy #parenting #healing
