Greetings from Spain!

I have been on airplanes and at different airports for almost two days and I'm so tired but also happy. We arrived to our hotel few hours ago and I seriously have no idea what time it is. I'm spending this whole week in Spain with my family and our family friends. 

We had some time before we could check in to our hotel so we went to this local shopping centre. After one store we left because we were all so exhausted from the trip.

Also it's weird for me that most of the local people here don't speak english which means that I have to use my few words that I know in Spanish to communicate with them.

Right now I'm sitting on our balcony and it's quite warm (like 20 degrees maybe? and it's dark outside so it's probably 8pm? i don't know...haha). The hotel is also nice and we have lovely view to the ocean.

I'll try to blog as often as I can but the Internet situation is quite bad...

Hope you all are having lovely holidays!

Christmas Party!

Good Morningg!!! 
Actually it's 1pm but I like woke up an hour ago so it's still morning for me...haha!
Few days ago I came to Estonia and it's so nice to see people that I haven't seen for so long. Also I went to cinema with my friend to see this new Estonian movie called ''Must alpinist'' and I got to say it was really good.

On Friday my lovely girlfriends came over and we had little Christmas party. The whole evening was so much fun. 
It took so much time for us to finally start eating and since I was starving I forgot to take ''the food'' photo...so here you go, my half eaten meal which we made with Nea...haha!

Now I have to run because I'm meeting my friend in 30min and we're probably going to crab a lunch.

Happy holidays everyone!!!

I wanted to try something new and I know the quality isn't very good but it's because we used iPhone to film this thing...I know, professionals...haha!

I had a lovely weekend with this amazing girl. We went to the centre of Helsinki, visited Kiasma and of course did some shopping!

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

                    

Christmas Lights!

Today I finally put up all the Christmas decorations in my room and also baked some gingerbreads with my mom and little brother. I already have this christmas feeling in me even though it's only raining outside and there's no snow :(

I don't really listen to Christmas songs so I've been listening to Jessie J and Sarah Close all day and I always get shivers because they are just sooo good!!! 

Also

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää, Suomi!!!

HFW

On Sunday I was at Helsinki Fashion Week. I had six differs fashion shows. There were designers from Russia,Germany,Ukraine and of course from Finland. Loved all the collections and I really wanted to take few of the dresses with me!

The day went by quite fast, I actually didn't even have time to eat! I had to be at the Opera House (where the event was) at 9am and we did some catwalk training. The event started at 2pm and then I had the first show. After that we quickly went to hair&makeup. Then I had like an half an hour of free time, which i spent studying...FUN! haha

Then the real backstage chaos started! I had five shows, each one had different hair&makeup. So basically I ran from one place to other and tried not to fall or run over someone with my heels...haha!
It was super fun and busy day! I was so tired when I came home (about 11pm) that I just went straight to bed.

Of course big thank you for the pictures to:

Happiness

The other day I was talking with my friend about happiness and good things in life. It got me thinking about the things that makes us happy. Happiness can be defined in so many different ways. For some happiness means reaching a goal or just to simply have something to eat. Of course then there's happiness like helping someone or having a person who you can always trust and feel safe with. 
I asked few people what makes them happy and here are the answers.

Kariitta,63
"Probably inner peace. Also good relationship with family and friends. I´ve been a volunteer  in the church. That makes me happy."

Villiam,7
"When I get a new PlayStation game or when someone says something funny, like you!"
Got some sister points...haha!

Merly,36
"I´m happy when the dearest people around me are happy. In my opinion money and other material benefits help our lives to be more stabilized and in some way it may make us peaceful but it´s not enough to be happy. "

Siiri,15
"I think that true happiness comes from inside. It´s hard to define happiness because everything feels good when you´re happy. The things that make me happy are travelling,daydreaming,friends and freedom. Also when I achieve something that I´ve worked really hard for."

Mariya,22
"MY CAT!...haha.I´m happy when I succeed in something or make progress in my studies.   I´m happy when everything is going well with the people that are close to me. Also when I manage to save some money instead of wasting it on something useless. And I´m happy that I´ve learned to value the quality over quantity"

So,what makes YOU happy?

CALM

Today I went to IKEA to get some "candles". Of course you never come back with JUST candles. So I got quite a lot of stuff...haha. Mainly Christmas decorations, so there's going to be a post about them soon! 
Also "PURPOSE", so good!!! 

It´s quite hard to write about something else considering the tragedy that´s going on all over the world right now. I truly hope that people are staying close and supporting each other , because that´s probably what we all need right now.

Halloween...not so much

So as you all know yesterday was Halloween and everybody dressed up and had these cool parties. And of course then there´s me... I'm so sad that i didn´t have time to attend any of these...
My weekend flew by so fast as always. On Friday I went to bed at 1am and i had to wake up at 5am on Saturday... I had to be at the seaport at 6.30 to get on a ship and go to Estonia where I had my dentist appointment. 

Also I bought a new book called "The girl on the train". It's been highly recommended and I really wanted something new to read. 

I was home about 12pm and went straight to bed. Almost fell asleep on my way back home.

Also funny story pt.2!
It´s actually bit difficult to describe it but I´ll try.
We were grocery shopping with my mother and we went to get some bananas. They were next to the escalator. So my mother wanted to get the better looking bananas which were bit further in the box. As she started to grab the bananas, she leaned on the handle of the escalator and suddenly she started moving forwards as the handle grabbed her with it. So she was sitting on the escalators handle and couldn´t get down because her one leg was on one side and the other on the other side. Of course I couldn´t stop laughing and then the people all around started laughing and when she got down from there we just started laughing so hard. Haha...love her!

Took these photos earlier this week and it really is getting colder here in Finland!

Hope you all had a great week and amazing Halloween!  

MOOD

I'm having one of those days where I just want to lay in bed and I just question everything.

You know like:

 Why am I doing the things I do?

Why should I do it?

What´s the purpose of it?

Why do I feel like this?

These questions go on and on. You just feel like you want to run away from everything and just get lost. Everything is actually fine but yet it feels like it isn't and you just feel bad for whining over nothing.

You just have to take some time to yourself and for example go for a run, read a book, get some fresh air and just try to find answers to your questions. If you don't know why you're doing something then there's actually no point for doing it. Of course some questions may take some more time to get their answers.

Appreciate the things you have. Set goals to yourself. Enjoy the thing you do and focus on good things in situations that may not look so good.

Another week has drifted by and a lot has happened! Also that means that my one week vacation is over and school starts again. I feel like there was no vacation and I wish I could take another week off and just sleep and watch netflix!

I spent my weekend at I love me-beauty fair. I was actually working there all weekend. 

On Saturday I had a fashion show and I had some time to wander around and see all the old and new amazing brands. There was a fashion show called "I love fashion". It was before ours and since I saw few dresses at the backstage that were breath taking,I just had to go and see all the collections on the stage. There were few particular collections that I really loved. Example Noolan and Mert Otsamo´s collections were perfection and of course one of my favorite was Minna Parikka. I mean her shoes...heaven!

I had to go to Schwarzkopf hair salon on Friday so they could fix my hair before the fashion show and now my hair is grey! At first I wasn´t so sure about it but when I saw the results I really liked it.

This outfit is pretty much my basic autumn look. I really love it because it´s really simple. The coat is actually quite warm and on colder days I can just add a scarf and some warm boots.

Weekend in cloudy Estonia

I spent this weekend in Estonia and I had SO great time there!

Friday night when I arrived I met my friend who i hadn't seen for so long and it was so good to see her again. We went to this restaurant at the old town called "Sinilind". Loved the place! Even though after we had ordered the place started to fill up with people and was quite crowded. But I think it's usual since it was Friday night and we were at the old town of Tallinn. The food there was AWESOME just as their sign says and also it was quite cheap. Especially compared to prices in Finland...haha.

Also I just fell so in LOVE with these little cozy cafes and restaurants there. I would've just wanted to visit every one of them and buy one of their lovely cakes.... which I kind of did. Literally I spent most of my time at different restaurants and cafes...but it was totally worth it!

I visited my brother who is in army right now and I got so excited as I was there that I really wanted to stay there. I've thought about going to army after high school(seriously!) But I think that I'm physically not ready for it...haha

Yesterday I woke up at 4am to take a quick shower and catch my flight. Of course when I got my ticket I had 15min to go through the security  and find my gate. At least I got my morning run done...haha. As I arrived to Oulu where we had a fashionshow the first thing that I noticed was that there was SO COLD! Cladly we had car waiting for us. 

After I almost felt asleep at the makeup&hair it was showtime. We were wearing Ivanahelsinki and had amazing hair by Schwarzkopf hairdressers. After the fashionshow we chilled few hours with the crew then went to pizzeria and headed back home.

Sadly I didn't have time to take any photos so this is just a quick check in on my Saturday. 

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Goodnight! ❤️

I really love this outfit even tho it´s getting quite cold outside and I would love to wear warm sweater all day long. But sometimes it´s great to dress up, you don´t even have to have a reason. I love to look good even when I´m just going to get a cup of coffee with a friend. With jacket and cool shoes this outfit is perfect for these days because it´s classy and comfortable at the same time. You can easily make it more casual with oversize t-shirt and some trainers.

Also, funny story. 

On Tuesday when I went home I saw this lady crying at the metro station. First I didn´t know what to do,I couldn´t just walk past her(like everyone else). So yeah I went to her and hugged her (she was a total stanger). After that I tried to talk to her but she didn´t answer to me and just cryed. I didn´t know what should I do next, since she didn´t even look at me. Then I just kind of stood up and left...

Lately I've been quite busy. Especially with school since I'm having all the test in next few days. AND yes I should study right now but I mean I have time tomorrow night so...

Today I had an fashionshow preparation and my hair is now even blonder but there's also little bit of pinkish color in it. And since today I had preparation,on Wednesday I have a fashionshow. I'll try to find photos of it after the show :) or you can search from instagram with #fibreplexeffect

Two weeks ago we went to this beautiful park with Jere in Herttoniemi to take some cool pictures. The weather was so nice,sadly now it's raining almost every day :(

B&W

 Back to school!?

First days in high school.I gotta say I´m excited but at the same time bit scared. My classmates are very cool and friendly but when the teachers said everything that we have to do...I mean hopefully I´m not going to die (I mean fail). But yeah everything else has been quite positive.I was bit sad that i couldn`t get to the same class with my friends but luckly I made new friends in my class so it´s all good. After all high school years are the best years in your life to make friends,learn and just to have fun.
