Via del Mare: five pleasures

Monday comes around faster than the blink of an eye and sometimes the mayhem of a new week can get more than 'too much'. When friday feels like a lifetime away there is no better way to brighten up your day by buying yourself a bunch of fresh flowers, lighting a candle and cooking yourself a not-too- indulgent meal (because we all want to start the week off on the right foot...am I correct?). Here are five pleasures currently keeping me happy and sane.

Sheer table cloths from Fondi markets

Ischia, Italy - if you haven't been before, this little island off Naples is a must and one of my favourite places

Fresh fleurs at Paddington

Secluded australian beaches

Picnics with my mum and sister at Palm Beach

Here's to a successful week full of hard work, determination and accomplishment! xxx

It’s no exaggeration when I say that my complete lack of decisiveness is what brought me here. Yes that’s right, my own vague personality traits are what motivated me to start my own blog. Making a decision with confidence has never been one of my finest abilities (to say the least) but I think starting ‘Via del Mare’ is going to be one of those decisions I will never regret.

I’ve always placed a lot of emphasis (or maybe it’s pressure?) on how I want my life to pan out. Of course I’m aware that you can’t control everything in life, however sometimes I catch myself dreaming of my future whilst letting the present pass me by. Like most people I have big dreams but like the spanish say 'que sera, sera' (what will be, will be). So now I have created my blog and finally I am going to take the time to appreciate the little things in life, even if it is cliché.

To give you some background ‘Via del Mare’ is a secret street in a miniature town south of Italy where I first conceived of the idea to make my life a living piece of art. This is my journey, one dedicated to the simple and greatest pleasures of life.

So to start ‘Via del Mare’ off I am going to introduce a little segment called ‘Five Pleasures’. It’s as simple as it sounds. I’m so happy to finally be doing this.
