Italy Gallery Tour

-
Ciao belle persone!
Are you bored at home wishing you could see more than just the walls in your home? I might have an alternative remedy that lets you take a break from the boring indoors to seeing beautiful scenery!

I know everyone can't travel because were all following the safety measures of staying home and since my visit to Italy was too short for me to write a whole blog about it, I decided to switch it up this week and do a blog gallery instead! So, come tour Florence and Bologna, Italy with me!

Firenze (Florence), Italia 

Meet my Italy girl band... and yes you heard me right I said Girl Band! It felt like we were a famous girl group when we were in Florence because we got so much attention from everyone! This was my first time traveling with friends and I loved the experience!

I took this picture standing at a window in the Ufizzi gallery, which had the most amazing views of the Pointe Vecchio bridge. It has such a majestic feel to it when looking at it at night with the lights and all.

This picture is also taken from a window above in the museum and it's such a nice view of the buildings along the water.
And don't even get me started with the markets... I give the sellers props for their hustle! The girls and I ended up getting some great purses and other souvenirs!
The Duomo in Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. These pictures don't even do it justice! It was so overwhelmingly beautiful that it brought tears to my friend's eyes and even a little mist to mine!

Bologna, Italia

 Two things that come to mind when thinking about Bologna are "Burnt orange" and "Medieval." I say brunt orange because it felt like all the buildings there was some shade of orange and especially brunt orange. It was also funny because my friend Jess is always wearing that colour so she blended right in! Bologna also gave us that medieval vibe with its old buildings, designs, and long tunnel/ceiling walkways.





Garisenda and Degli Asinelli are the two towers located in the heart of the city and are symbolic buildings of Bologna. 
And who would miss out on getting some gelato ice cream from Italy?! We went to this highly recommended gelato place and it was AMAZING! Check out all the flavours they had!

Overall, I loved my trip to Italy but I definitely need to go back for a longer time and too many more places too! I know that during this time Italy has been horribly impacted by the virus but I know this beautiful country will bounce back! #staystrongItaly 
Ciao for now!

Don't Stand For Hate, Stand For Change

Galatians 5:13-15 " For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, take head that ye be not consumed by one another." I started my blog with this scripture because it really puts in perspective the current events of racial tension and police brutality against the black community, which has not started and will probably not end with the injustice and inhumane death of George Floyd and every black man or woman that has been wrongly killed.  Freedom is but an illusion in this world. Freedom is abused in this society. Where was the freedom when a man's last breath was taken from him? When is it right to take someone's life into your own hands? Isn't God the beginner and finisher of our fait? No, there is no such thing as freedom in this wor

How to be truly happy in a season of singleness (Part 1)

-

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein

From a time of being broken down to built up

-

Sometimes you have to be broken down in order to be built back up to the person that God has called you to be. "Break me to mend me again" is something I did not pray and ask the Lord for but it was what I really needed. For years, I struggled with my faith but it was not as extreme as this past year. The "good" difference with last year leading up to this year is that throughout my struggles I was able to encounter God more than I ever did before. It reminded me of this one scripture that says, "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (psalm 34:18). God showed me that he was not afraid of seeing me in my mess and that in fact he did not want me to pretend to be perfect with him. It's also impossible to hide anything with God (lol), as he knows our every thought and what is in our hearts. God saw that my heart was burdened and he started to take away those burdens daily, as I felt it one by one being lifted off
