Italy’s language is full of poetic expressions that encourage us to slow down, savor life, and find joy in simple moments. This philosophy is woven into every part of Italian culture.
It’s also what inspires our skincare line at Sole Toscana. We believe caring for your skin is an act of self-love and a daily ritual that reflects a deeper commitment to living beautifully and intentionally.
1. La dolce vita
"The sweet life." A celebration of enjoying simple pleasures and embracing a joyful, easeful approach to living.
2. Dolce far niente
"The sweetness of doing nothing." A reminder to pause, rest, and enjoy being present without feeling guilty.
3. Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto
"Eat well, laugh often, love much." A philosophy of living with passion, good food, and shared joy.

"The beauty of doing nothing." Similar to dolce far niente, it celebrates rest as an art form rather than a waste of time.
5. Andare a passo d’uomo
"To go at a walking pace." Encourages moving through life slowly, appreciating each moment instead of rushing.
6. Vivi e lascia vivere
"Live and let live." A reminder to embrace acceptance and let go of unnecessary worries about others.
7. Chi va piano va sano e va lontano
"Slow and steady wins the race." Highlights the value of patience and steady progress.
8. Fare una bella figura
"Make a good impression." More than appearance, it reflects living with dignity, grace, and care for oneself and others.
9. Una pausa di riflessione
"A pause for reflection." Encourages taking thoughtful pauses to check in with ourselves and our path.
10. Goditi la vita
"Enjoy life." A simple yet profound reminder to embrace joy and celebrate the gift of each day.
These phrases beautifully reflect the Italian approach to life of valuing balance, connection, and the beauty found in everyday moments. May they inspire you to create your own rituals of joy and presence each day.
At Sole Toscana, we draw inspiration from this spirit in everything we do. May these phrases inspire you to slow down, savor each day, and find joy in caring for yourself from the inside out.
