Another Story - Future Tense
Exciting news. Our real long vacation (honeymoon) will be in the form of a pilgrimage to Italy. We will fly in and out Rome/Roma for a stay for a total of 16 days, in which we will take time to visit Florence/Firenze, Milan/Milano and Assisi. This is the first Italian tour for both of us so we're very excited. Not only are we embracing our Catholic identity and spending a lot of time at ancient and still-alive houses of worships; but also, we shall see and smell the real Roman ruins (see the alliteration?). Oh, and of course, while I'm planning for our itinerary, I research on beauty shopping...
Kiko (I have already located at least one of their stores next to almost every hotel we're going to stay in), Pupa (probably not going to buy any simply because the HK Sasa stocks a whole lot of Pupa), Nouba (this came up when I was researching on Italian beauty brands, I don't have any idea where to find it yet). Skincare-wise, I've been making a long list and checking it (more than) twice on two major brands: Santa Maria Novella (I will definitely be spending a lot of time at the basilica anyway, so for sure I'll also check out the store next to it), and L'Erbolario (a few tubes and tubs of body firming, fragrance line of Honeysuckle and LiquidAmber, and a mesmerizing warm blend called Meharees, which is sweet Date mixed with Myrrh, or even Myrrhae, which is Myrrh with Incense... Mmmm... A guide book also mentioned about a specialty shop that stocks products made by convents, monasteries, abbeys from all over Italy. Ai Monasteri it is, and I have a feeling I will encounter a lot of interesting items over there.
Okay, enough rambling on the Roman Holiday... Let's go back to a recap of what I hauled back from Thailand...
