My Week In Pictures [22th June]

If you already follow me on twitter (inna_solonenko), you already know what I've been up to this week: Paris! As a gift from my mom for my 18th birthday, I'm spending eight days here with Viola, a friend of mine. Unfortunatelly, most of the pictures I took are on my DSLR so I'll them on a different post next week, when I'll be back in Milan and for now I'll post the pictures I took with my iPhone.

Earlier this week, before leaving for Paris, I celebrated the end of the school year with some friends!

Holidays: Things You Should Know Before Leaving

If you're like me, then you like traveling a lot and when you have the chance to book a trip you always get super excited and can't wait for it. 

After you got so excited about it, there are some things you should do before leaving so that you'll be prepared to enjoy your trip without worries!

1) How do you reach your hotel from the airport? 

You should be completely prepared for this step or else you'll find yourself wandering in the airport without knowing what to do. If you have someone who comes to pick you up that's perfect, but if you don't you should be organized! 

Fortunately every city of the world is organized and will provide you with trains/busses/taxis who will bring you to the city center, but you have to know in advance which one you should chose. The best way for deciding is checking out on the internet and choose the solution that suits you better

2) How do you move in town

You can be in the most beautiful city of the world but if you don't know how to move from one place to an another, that could be a little disappointing. Every city obviously has its own transports like busses and eventually trams. Big cities have underground lines (or subway)  which are usually pretty big and if you have no idea of how they work, you should study them a little before leaving to make sure you don't get lost! Besides knowing how they work, you should know how much this services cost so that you prepare the money you need without finding surprises! 

3) Electrical Plugs 

I think that this step is a little underrated, but it's something you must think about before leaving or else you'll find yourself in your room with your phone battery that is about to die without being able to charge it. What you should do before leaving is looking in the internet what plugs they use in the country where you're going, take a picture of it and go to a local store and buy one, maybe with the help of the store personal. The plugs usually are pretty cheap so you can even but two or three for every need.

These are the three things that in my opinion you must know before leaving before any holiday, do you agree?

My Week In Pictures [7th June]

This week I've been a little busy doing school stuff, but the last day arrived and I'm finally free!

Besides school, I got to do a really cool thing: I went to Meghan Trainor's concert and got to meet Olivia Somerly who was the opening act. The concert has been absolutely amazing and I had so much fun! 

On Friday, I was the last day of school and I went to a park with some classmates and the pizza in the evening. We also went out the night to celebrate our freedom! 

How was your week?

May Playlist

First Time - Gedina

Here in Italy you can head this song in the Coca Cola commercial and that's how I discovered it. It's a really cheerful and powerful song that makes you feel super-energyc in a few seconds. Plus reminds me a lot of summer and that's just perfect now that school is about to end!

Womanizer - Britney Spears

In the last couple of weeks, I happened to meet a guy who I kinda liked and then I found out that she's pretty much a womanizer and the feminist that is in me was like "hell no" and this song describes perfectly the whole situation

Someone New - Hozier

This song is probably going to be a HIT just as "Take Me To Church" in my opinion. Just like the previous single, this song is kinda shady but it doesn't make you feel sad of melancholic at all: it gives you a sense of freedom.   

When I See You Again

I think that every human being who has listened to this song and instantly feel in love with it. I can't even explain how this song makes me feel and how much I always wanna listen to it over and over again. Plus this song is in the soundtrack of "Fast And Furious 7" and I know that a lot of people cried while watching the movie because of the death of Paul Walker. This is an extra reason why we all love this song.

Now tell me your May plalist! 

My Week In Pictures

This has been a pretty busy week because the last days at school are always the hardest, so during the weeks I didn't get to do anything interesting besides a chinese meal and some pretty flowers I saw on the street while going to the restaurant.

Friday night I went to Expo 2015 and spent there just about one hour and it has been impossible to see everything, so I'll probably return very soon.

Have you done something interesting last week?

Honey With Benefits

Honey is probably one of the best products that the nature gives us.

Doctors agree that it's better to use honey instead of sugar because it gives us more nutrients and less calories.

There are a lot of different types of honey all around the world, but they all have great health proprieties

Natural Energy Booster

Honey has a lot of sugar such as glucose and fructose that provide our bodies strength and energy. It's also very effective when it comes to reducing muscles fatigue of athletes

Treats Wounds 

In several studies, it's been showed that honey has a positive effect on wounds because it kills a lot of bacteria

Provides Nutrients

Honey contains an amount of vitamins and minerals including niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc, which are essential for the health of our body.  

Relieves Seasonal Allergies

Some experts say that honey can contain traces of flower pollen, and exposure to small amounts of allergens works as good treatment to combat reactions. But this hasn't been proven in clinical studies.

Good For Your Skin

Honey is a great natural ingredient for your DIY masks because it both hydrates and equilibrates the oils of our skin. You can use is in several masks, like in this Blackheads Killer DIY Face Mask.

My Favorite Taylor Swift Songs

I wanna start this post by telling you that I haven't been paid at all for this post. The only reason I'm writing it because I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan, I love her songs so much and I always find them super-relatable and plus, Taylor's the queen.

I decided to make two posts about her music because she has released so many CDs and songs that it's impossible for me to choose just five songs. So in the first part there are the "happy" songs and in the other one there will be the "melancholic" ones

Enjoy :)

I'm Only Me When I'm With You

This song is from Taylor's first CD called "Taylor Swift". It's one of the happiest song I know because it's about a healthy relationship you have with someone who can be a friend of whoever you want. It really talks about she can be herself with this person and be totally understood and comfortable.

Enchanted

I think that this is one of Taylor's most magical songs: anytime I listen to it, I feel like in a fairy-tail. It talks about the first time you meet someone and you instantly feel a special link with this person, you hope they'll be a part of your life in the future and all you can think about is that you're enchanted to meet them.

Sparks Fly

This song is from "Speak Now" that in my opinion is Taylor's best CD yet. It speaks about how she's totally into a person and about how she feels when that person's around you. The best part of this song is that it explains how she tries to convince herself that this person's is a bad idea, but she can't help herself but want to be around them. Plus the video is like the best thing ever.

New Romantics 

This song is an anthem to girls who are strong and independent and it's also an anthem to feminism. It speaks about these girls who can stand up and build a castle out of the bricks people throw at them. The best thing about this song is that these girls are united and dance along laugh together about their heartbreaks!

Jump Then Fall

The perfect adjective for this song is adorable. It talks about how she's totally in love with person and she wants him to jump and fall into her. It's really cheerful and it makes you feel in love with the whole world.  

In the next page there are the other songs :)

All Too Well

I honestly think that this is one of the greatest masterpieces that Taylor has ever wrote. It you listen to it carefully, paying attention to the words, to her voice and to the music, you'll probably end up in tears at the end of the song. I'm not even gonna tell what the song is about because it wouldn't be enough to describe this song, you just have to listen to in on your own to understand it.

Clean 

I wouldn't define this song as "sad" but it has something of really melancholic and you can definitely feel it. It talks about how, after some time from a breakup, you finally feel clean. It sound has a good thing and it is, but Taylor describes how toxic the relationship is and she says that even that just because you're clean, it doesn't mean that you don't miss it.

Out Of The Woods

Honestly, the first time I listened to this song, I didn't like at all. But now I love it so much that I could listen to it 24/7 and never get tired of it. It talks about about she felt during a relationship and about she understand everything now that time has passed. She says that she didn't understand much of this relationship and she remembers thinking are we out of the woods?

I think that it's super relatable because a lot of people ended you in a confusing relationship without knowing anything about it and this song could be really therapeutic for those people. 

So, this is it! Tell me yours Taylor Swift's favorite songs (:
