Rounding up September Reads and some Holiday Snapshots!

Happy Saturday Ladies!

Guess what? I managed to get my friend to pass over their photos from my holiday 😀 So all is not lost. I’ve posted a selection after the cut so do be warned that the page will not load that quickly.

Before that, let’s have a salute to me beauty blogging sistas for September 2010! They are excellent to read as usual!

  • Some timely advice about how to not let that bit of credit card plastic control your life – Skindeco
  • Swatches galore of the MAC Fabulous Felines and Viva Glam collections – Lipglosseater
  • A blast from my past! Rice powder or bedak sejuk! – Beauty Up My Life
  • Why you should NOT get the Watson’s VIP card – read this and think long and hard – Soloverly
  • What Nikki (and family) is loving from her stash now – AskMeWhats
  • A weekly deodorant? Apparently it works! – Pretty Beautiful
  • Mark Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Necklace is sooo pretty! – Beetrice’s Reviews

Now for some photos of my jaunts 😀

Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain) was swarming with tourists but I made sure to go because when I first visited many years ago, I tossed a coin and made a wish to return. I did the same this time so I don’t have to wait years before I return. I did use a 50 sen coin this time though – the Euro is much pricer than the Lira was 😛

Visited Pope Benedict at the Vatican City but he wasn’t in. (He did trail me to London though…)

…and I climbed up the Basilica to get a bird’s eye view of the Vatican City and Rome. I love the uniform of the Swiss Guards, don’t you? I think intruders will just laugh so hard, they’d forget what they came to rob. That said, they are supposed to be one of the most elite guards in the world so I think the funny uniform is just a decoy. I’ve been scolded by them in rapid Italian TWICE. BTW to go up the Basilica is €7 by lift and then its another 360 STEPS TO CLIMB! In narrow claustrophobic conditions. Or you can climb all the way (500+ steps) for €5. Oh and no shorts or short skirts  in the Church please. Guards WILL stop you – I had to tie my shawl around me as a makeshift sarong and my skirt was just a teensy bit above my knee.

Rainbow over the Palais Royale in Paris (I think). Caught it as I exited the Metro to get to the Louvre Museum. It was breathtaking and awe inspiring.

A la-di-la afternoon with Laduree Macarons or Macaroons. I’m not a fan of desserts or macaroons but these are amazing! Featherlight, bursting with flavour. My favourites are Caramel, Rose Petal and Berries. The Raspberry Mille Feuille was not to be missed!

Had lunch at Jamie’s Italian in London. Its by the “Naked Chef” Jamie Oliver and the food was very good! No, he wasn’t there. I think he didn’t get the memo that I was coming 😛

    Oh dear look at that amount of ham…hahahha…such a nice helping of meat =P Macaroons are still a mystery to me as I’ve never tried one….tell me, what does it taste like? =P

      The ham is actually paper thin so its not that much 😉 Macaroons are sweet – meringue sandwiches with a flavoured paste. You can get them in many local cafes now. Get one to try next time you see it – just to see what its like 🙂
