Not sure why but lately I’ve found myself telling some of my friends that they are “such a lucky” people. I have also heard from my friends and acquaintances saying how they think that I am the lucky person, leading a great life.
Many times I would just express my gratitude for such words and kind thoughts, but my inner voice would at the same time have a good laughter and think:”Me lucky? Yeah right, if you would only know all of my troubles, you wouldn’t think of me as a lucky one.”
I’m back with the new post for one of my favourite sections on the blog: “Visit Helsinki”. I’m always asked by many where to go, what to see or where to eat when visiting Helsinki and I’m always more than happy to give suggestions and help out to experience (and taste) Helsinki at it’s best. 🙂
One of my favourite recommendations on where to go and eat, because as a self proclaimed, certified foodie and bon vivant, I’m always keeping my eyes and ears open on what good new spots have opened up in the city as well as what’s on the offer in some of the good, old favourites such as Gaijin!

“All humas have their limits, they learn what they are and learn not to exceed them. I… I’m ran by the madness and passion so I ignore my limits.” That was a quote which I came across this weekend and it highly resonated with me. A sentence that could easily describe me and my life.
It’s Thursday and we are one day closer to the weekend! I hope that the sun is shining as beautifully wherever you are, as it is in Helsinki. Warmer weather excites me because it means that soon, I will be able to wear all of the fun, bright coloured and “lighter” outfits! Continue Reading…
Whew, a week flew by without me even noticing it! I was sort of forced to take a short blogging break (wasn’t planned, but…) because prioritising things and dropping some away, was the only way I could get through the week. There were few events which I have attended, lots of work and yesterday was a photo shoot day with my friend Rita. I was very flattered to be in front of the camera and we’ve hopefully managed to wrap up a nice set of photos which I can’t wait to show you on the blog as soon as they’re ready. 🙂
Oh my, what a blissful start of new working week?! The sun is shining beautifully, temp. has started to rise up slowly and the overall vibe is as if I’m on a “natural high” of vitamin D. 😀 Continue Reading…
If you’ve been on a hunt for some special items to add to your closet or if you’re in a complete “wardrobe makeover” phase like myself, I’m sure that you’ve been either browsing online shops or have visited the actual stores in your city in order to find those perfect items. 🙂
After a short break, I’m back with a new review in my cycle of “Visit Helsinki” posts. I have to admit that at some point I felt fed up with those (this coming from a true foodie and bon vivant sounds silly :D) and taking a short breather was just what I wanted and needed. I got ecstatic writing this post and bringing back the reviews of new and interesting places to visit in Helsinki as well as revisit some of the all time favourites. Continue Reading…
Monday morning… My alarm clock didn’t beep yet and there’re almost two hours until I have to wake up. Do I still try to sleep a bit or do I get up and enjoy some “me time” which I haven’t been indulging in for what it feels like forever? Hm… Screw that princess, beauty sleep, I’m getting up!
Due to quite a few sunny and warm days in the past two weeks, Helsinki got a whole new “coating” of Spring-ish beauty! 🙂 I can’t hide my excitement about the sunshine and much longer days. I almost had to pinch myself when checking at my watch and realising that the daylight lasts past 4 pm. Continue Reading…
