It’s amazing how much friends could teach you across the years. Scroll for the visual story from the first night of my early birthday celebrations with ladies that have been my pillars of strength for more than 10 years. Read the rest of the diary entry at the end.

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.”
― Audrey Hepburn

Tonight was one of the happiest nights of my life.

Nothing much, nothing too fancy. Just raw, simple and happy. This post would consist of visuals that truly tell the story from my last night here in Rome. Memories from this particular restaurant that we had dinner at two nights in a row. The resto where both Nila and myself celebrated our birthdays a couple of days early.  Just 3 of us girls – Dawn, Nila and I. 

The last day was the most magical of all. From the unveiling of the special collaboration between FRESH and the artists of Rometti to dining in a castle. This was a day I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

I’ve never gone behind the scenes to find out how products were crafted so today was pretty special for me. We started on a 50 minutes drive to the factory that produced Umbrian clay. The weather was perfect and the sun brought warmth to the cold crisp air.

Waking up in Umbria felt like a dream. With rolling hills kissed by the warmth of the sun at the crack of dawn, it’s pretty easy for anyone to be a morning person here. Scroll down for my visual diary of yesterday’s memories.
