November 2014

If you’ve been reading my blog for the past month, you do know that I’m a self proclaimed holiday junkie! I love Christmas and for me it starts already in mid November. I’m seriously so excited about this time of the year that I could go on and on about it for a loooong time 😀 Now, I have already put up a post with my Christmas wish list and in this post I’m giving you suggestions on what to buy for your significant other, for your mom, dad, bff, etc. I hope that these lists will be helpful and will give you a good idea on what to get for Christmas presents. I’d like to state that I’m in no way suggesting you to buy exact same products/ brands that I’m listing down here. That being said, happy and successful shopping dear readers!!

Good Wednesday everybody! The snow has melted away already and the temperatures are up, so I got up this morning and was in a great mood to take some outfit photos. I didn’t mind the snow at all, but outfits do look much better when there’s not a bunch of snow everywhere. Hopefully we’ll get some more snow soon, at least around Christmas time, because as cliche as it sounds, I’d love to have a White Christmas

Good Monday morning everybody! It’s quite “funny” feeling to look outside the window and see that it’s pitch black outside. My daughter is always confused when I’m waking her up for the kindergarten. She doesn’t understand why does she needs to wake up when it’s still so dark outside. All I can tell her is: “This is Finland my child, land of Santa Claus, so even though it is what it is outside, we’re such a cool place because Santa lives here!” I don’t have to mention how happily she gets up and starts her day!

Hello my dear readers! Just a quick “hello” from me today. I have been a little bit redecorating my apartment yesterday and today. Can’t wait for another two months to pass so that I can start decorating a new place, so I’ve been shopping for some more Christmas/ holidays home decor and now I’m putting them in the “right” place and I’m having the best feeling ever. I don’t know what it is, but Winter and Christmas’ magic definitely do make me feel like I live in a wonderland or something…

Good morning everyone! How is your week going? I’ve been so sleep deprived and overworked that I def. need a moment of relaxation. I’m off to my hairdresser in an hour and hopefully that will be a nice enough treat for myself to reboot me and help me to get through this day. Sometimes, it’s really so hard to balance work, family, hobbies and still have a quiet moment for yourself + good quality sleep… Some days I’m better at it, some days, not so much, but I guess that we are all struggling with the same situation at some point in our lives.

Good Monday morning everyone!! I can not start this post without asking you the usual question: “How was your weekend?” I had a lovely, chilled weekend with my family. On Saturday we have visited our dear friends and also got a super yummy take away from the best Mexican diner in town, Cholo. They have killer burritos and I never got disappointed in their authentic taste.

Good Wednesday afternoon!! How are you doing my dear readers? I hope that this week has started well for you and that the cold and darkness are not getting to you as much as they are to me. I’m still in a “transition” phase in my head and body from warm and sunny days to cold, chilly and mostly cloudy days. I’ve been lacking some inspiration and adrenaline for the past week or so, but I’m getting to the core of this and will be embracing the fact that Winter is around the corner very gladly. I have decided on one of the trips which I’ve been talking about in my last post and I’ll be going to London in the beginning of December. I’m very excited about this trip and have already started to research which cool places I want to visit this time, which restaurants I need to check out and also, I’m excited to see all of those Christmas lights and decorations of London’ streets and as well, it will be a perfect trip to get something special for myself as a Christmas present to myself 😀 (and of course to my family)!

Good morning and happy Monday everybody! How was your weekend? I had such a lovely day yesterday. We have celebrated Father’s Day here in Finland and even though I have no father in who’s name I can celebrate I do have a little princess and her father is an admirable man, so in his name we went for a coffe and some nice cakes at his parents’ place, then up next we went to our local Sea Life, as we all love the under water world and after that we had such a delicious and fun lunch at Viking themed restaurant. It was totally not an ordinary “lazy” Sunday and it was proof to me that Sundays can still be a lot of fun.
