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
