I recently read beautiful words posted by Arianna Huffington on Instagram (you can find them here, it’s the fifth photo) so I decided to search for words about change. Because we are undeniably going to live in a different world. Some will like it, some won’t.
These are beautiful words about change. I hope you’ll find inspiring.
I don’t know why it could happened but I spent less time on socials, during the first phase of the lockdown. Maybe it’s because I listened to a lot of music and watched a lot of live performances on Youtube.
I realized I liked and looked for beautiful, kind of relaxing photos. Only positive mood and vibes, which is what I usually look for on Instagram. The only photos related to what it’s happening in the world were about good news and silver lining things.
Barbie definitely won the #PillowChallenge, don’t you think?

Such a classy photo.
I wonder what people think of this photo, on the cover of Vogue Portugal, in 100 years time.
Pearls and I still have a thing for shells.
I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I don’t want to go back to what was normal. I want a better normal.
Such a lovely corner, I love the body-shaped candle.
It seems centuries ago.
Just beautiful. I love butterflies.
Inspiring simplicity.

“Season of the Witch” is a song by Donovan and Shawn Phillips, released in 1966. Many artists covered it, included Lana Del Rey, who recorded her version for the soundtrack of “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”, a horror film released last year.
I’ve always liked this song and Lana’s version is absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. I post two videos, one from Del Rey’s official YouTube channel, with just the picture of the film, and one, which I prefer, with footage of “The Love Witch” a 2016 film I still have to watch. Written, directed, produced, edited and scored by Anna Biller, it’s the story of a woman who resorts to witchcraft to get men fall in love with her. Visually speaking, it looks like an old film, because it’s a tribute to Technicolor and films of the late ’60s and ’70s.
“The Love Witch” stars Samantha Robinson as Elaine, the beautiful witch of the title.
If you haven’t listened to Donovan’s original version of this song here it is.

A pretty denim pencil skirt. I like it in both dark and light blue denim even if the light wash shows more the ’80s cut, which I love. {on H&M}
I’ve been watching a lot of videos and concerts on YouTube, sometimes completely randomly. I recently watched this video, Madonna singing “Sooner or Later” (such a beautiful song) with footage of “Dick Tracy”, a film with great costumes designed by Milena Canonero. The song won an Academy Award in 1991, you might remember that Madonna went to the ceremony with Michael Jackson. Gosh, the ’90s were so beautiful!

“Bad Decisions” by The Strokes is one of my favorite songs right now. Italian radios often air it and every time I listen to it I turn up the volume (but not as much as I’d like to). I’ve always liked The Strokes, Julian Casablancas has such an amazing voice and he is impossibly cool.
“Bad Decisions” is the second single of The Strokes sixth studio album titled “The New Abnormal”, which is the way we could describe our life, now, don’t you think?
The first time I heard this song I thought it was kind of familiar, then I realized it sounds similar to a song from the ’80s I love so much, “Dancing with Myself” by Generation X, the band of rock legend Billy Idol, who actually co-wrote “Bad Decisions” with Tony James, a former member of Idol’s band. So the similarity was wanted. Take some time to listen to these two beautiful songs.

I’ve been sleeping pretty bad, recently and I often have vivid dreams and nightmares (I often dream of being surrounded by people who don’t distance from me in places like stores and supermarkets!). I realized I’m not the only one, it’s related to the pandemic and this article explains why. {on CNBC}
Such a stylish way to wear a baseball cap + a silk scarf. {on Pinterest}

Florence Nightingale knew the importance of hygiene and hand washing, centuries ago. It’s shocking that some people still don’t know how to properly wash their hands. And it’s a shame Nightingale has been forgotten by many. {on The Conversation}
The song of the week is “Où va le monde” (where is the world going) by La Femme (the woman), a French psych pub rock band.

I try to use as many skincare products without toxic or controversial ingredients as possible. The struggle is real! Sometimes the inci of a product seems perfect then you realize there’s one ingredient that ruins everything. This article helps you navigate through all the ingredients of cosmetics. Europe laws about ingredients are stricter about unhealthy ingredients than American laws so if you live in US you should be even more careful. {on Makeup Artist Essential}

What can I say about “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd? It’s such a cool song, I love its ’80s vibes, it makes you want to sing and dance. Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd) wrote and produced it together with Max Martin, who produced the singer’s smash hit song “Can’t Feel My Face”.
“Blinding Lights” is the second single from The Weeknd forth upcoming album.
