rain and dullness

Yesterday I ran over an hour on the treadmill, on my way home it started raining like never before, completely drenched I called my mom a hundred times - afraid to become ill, I desperately needed a ride. 15 minutes later, clothes wet and tight on my body - I felt so angry, I wanted to scream at the world but I screamed at my mother instead. She isn't the weather god... still I had to yell.

Today I woke up with a heavy head and sore throat... On saturday it's the midnight run. I'll do whatever it takes to be able to run.

1,5h weeks left of 5.45 mornings...

the story of how my latin dance lesson went

Came into the room
Felt quite positive and good spirited
The teacher started
I followed
I looked at my moves in the mirror
The moment of shock when I realised,
holy fuck - I really fucking suck
Planned on leaving early, really early
I did not dare, the others would realise -
So I moved
My legs
And my ass
And I laughed my ass off

THE END

of all future Latin dance lessons

Christmas cards

I'm making Christmas cards at the moment, the inspiration came, for those two above... and then it went away, so now I'm stupified at my desk...

Obsessions tuesday

White tea, so good with milk.
Watercolour art Monet style.
Me with short hair... should I, should I. I know I won't

Even exercise can be pop.art

Ahh, addiction... anyone?
Marathon in two years perhaps perhaps...

Interior dreaming

My next flat is gonna be so banging! Move in date 1.10. The flat itself already is very modern and neat so making it look nice won't be a problem.

Wants:

big mirror
candles
plants (perhaps plastic.. they won't die in a minute)
paintings/posters (as a design student I'm going for typographic posters)
small details (coffee cups, tags, cards, clothing rack, shoe holder, bed spread, pillows...)

natural tuesday look

It's getting harder and harder to wake up at 5.45, especially with the thunder and rain today it felt quite awful but I made it. With Hunters on my feet I strolled to the bus stop, didn't even bother with make-up.

Bought a one month gym card for 105 euros! I'm planning to work out when my job finishes and all my friends are in uni... That was the best plan I could think off :p I'm gonna try every single class they have on offer in my gym, yesterday I went to Latino-dance... which was, well close to a disaster. I had a good laugh though.

My biggest craving

If I had one choice; where and what

The answer would be Barcelona
I would climb that hill
Go running
Read books
Swim in the ocean
Enjoy silence

Crayfish party

6 out of 8 puked.
4 out of 8 cried.

That's the night in a nutshell, a great night ;)

Blue monday

Wearing dress from Bershka, Montpellier.

Midnight run 3.9.2011

On saturday I'm running my first 10 km in a big event like this, yiiiiiiii excited and nervous... After the race we're going to Hotel Helsinki's sauna for cider and other drinks - sponsored by my mom's company ;)

Monday, back at the office

I'm planning to go to Latin-dance today, and then maybe running.. Otherwise day started out with Jens Lapidus Livet Deluxe and coffee at the office.

dinner with E

I was like a dead corpse yesterday and although I'd taken all my gym stuff to work, I decided that my head & my body will do much better from some wine and proper dinner.

We made chicken salad with avocado and drank an unknown amount of wine, I listened to Emmy's L.A. stories and Annmarie came for a short visit. Took a bus at 22.30 and was in bed an hour later...

the next step

In a year I will graduate. Then what? The queation is so incredibly huge, it's full of possibilities and it will determine where I will end up, who I will become. It's so grand I can't even begin to understand this, no matter what I choose I will always end up losing the experience from the other places I didn't go to... If that makes any sense.

I need to find out, in a few months perhaps, the next step of my life. Others wouldn't even think about this, just go wherever they are used to. I don't want to think like this- I know my choices are everything in my life.

So where will I go, what will I do? What do I really want? This much I know

I wanna work with design/marketing/magazines
I wanna work abroad

My next step would be research, research, research...

Feather necklace

Seppälä 9,95€

I was hiding in the bushes again before the bus came... and wow what a beautiful morning!

nailpolish collection

From left to right: h&m ashblue, collection 2000 red, mavala minsk, h&m turquoise, mavala las vegas, mavala hong kong, miss sporty blue, unknown green

Currently wearing H&M ash blue colour on hands and mavala minsk on toes. FYI

My make up; shimmering skin

New in: Lumene crystal primer, really makes a difference on the skin (put before foundation)
I use Maybelline 24h superstay foundation.

A trick that gives the face more light is to put white shimmering eyeshadow on the top of the cheek (above the rouge) and also underneath the eyebrow :-) (also known as highlighter, which people spend A LOT of more money than necessary on)

My new favourite is Make up store's "High-tech-lighter" in colour Apollo. It can be used on the cheeks, lips & eyelids. I'm wearing it over my bronzer and on the lips with lipbalm ;-)

perfect skin

I used to have horrrible skin! Now it's lovely, but I'm still dead scared that one day I'll wake up looking like a frog...

My daily routine to upkeep shiny/healthy skin

- I squeeze lemon into a glass of water (have 1-3 glasses per day)
- I try to drink 1 cup of green tea
- I eat PILLS, lots of pills ;) d-vitamin, c-vitamin, zink, fish-oil & magnesium and at least for me, these improve my skin a lot!
- washing the face every day and go without make-up some days (always exercise without)
- moisturizer! (I use a neutral aqueous cream with no perfume)


+ a mud mask once a week! ;-)

details tuesday

Bag, nailpolish, leather jacket; All H&M (hahaha woops)
Bracelet; a gift :-)

uk mania

New t-shirt from Gina Tricot.

Eff me!

Yeeeepp yeeeeeeepp... obsessing about weird and beautiful things.
And the most fab website weheartit.com

I know what I'm buying today...

Well not buying it all of course... I have beige boots, I have a black bag...
I just, need that shirt ;-)

Lucky in work, unlucky in love

It's funny how incredibly true that is for me at the moment.. however I wouldn't say unlucky - I just don't care to find anyone serious YET. At the moment my main goals are to build up an incredible CV, an incredible portfolio and a blog (this one) in addition.

One hour ago I got a job request for September, (I was supposed to be on vacation) but hell, I'm actually fricking thrilled to be gaining more experience once more ;-)

+ when the job is revolving around the design weeks... yupp, who needs a holiday?

new kimono

I know, I look frickin weird :s I woke up eyes swollen from allergy but it's a lot better already!

I'm loving, LOVING my new things;
kimono-ish shirt from H&M 24,95 e and
black bag, also H&M 19,90e. ;-)

Dressingroom

That dress 10€ from H&M... but it was too small at the shoulders...

Weekend menu

This weekend was really messed up, a shit one. I feel like I'm in the middle of an episode from the Hills.

But at least the breakfasts and lunches were good...

1. quark&pear, ricecakes, cabbage noodles 2. green tea with lemon 3. ricecakes, egg, yogurt with strawberries
