It's the most wonderful time of the year

I guess there might be a lot of people that are already sick and tired of all things Christmas, but I just love it! I wish it wouldn't end. I just love looking at all the decorations and laying around watching movies. I'm just a lazy kind of girl.

I also reconstructed what I wore on Christmas Eve, well almost :) I saw the black dress in Bik Bok and I just couldn't get it off my mind. Eventually I went and got it. There is something about the dress and the lovely silver on it that I love.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... There'll be much mistltoeing... And hearts will be glowing ... When love ones are near... ah Christmas songs..

Panda is a crazy being, yes he is. He has been listening to me complain about my feet freezing, therefore those little shoes found their way under the Christmas tree. I'm just too worried about ruining them to wear them :D

Alrighty, not much to say yet again. I think its time to lay a bit more on the couch and watch some more movies :) Have a great Sunday night!

Candy Cane

I will never again work in between the days of Christmas, it just is not worth it at all. Luckily I didn't loose my mood, I'm just deadly tired after those two days of working. Luckily I got to see some friends on those days too so it wasn't that bad. 

I've been working on this new layout and header for the blog, what do you guys think? I felt like having something more winter related for a change. Also here are my nails, that were inspired for Christmas. For the actual day I had all my nails with the two streak and that looked better as a whole. I just forgot to take a picture of it. I also forgot to take a picture of my outfit, but I did a reconstruction and took some pictures of it today. I should have them posted tomorrow.

It's odd how I always think, this year I'll start earlier and then never do but this year I somewhat did in a way. I've also gotten so many things done that I normally forget to do, like bake cookies and decorate them. I also introduced panda to sledding, which seems to be his new favorite winter activity. I can't wait to teach him downhill skiing :) Alrighty guys, hope you had a great Christmas and remember to rest well!

Christmas Eve

Oh how I love Christmas time! Though this will be my first time working during the in between days, aka between Christmas and New Year. I really hope my Christmas mood won't be totally ruined at work, but I already decided that I will try every year to get time off in between since I don't want to stress about going to work. 

We used to spend all our Christmases at home, but since my sister has her own family and so on, now we spend Christmas Eve's on a rotation schedule. It works nicely and sometimes we get to spend two sets of gifts, as we don't want to drag all our gifts to our Christmas Eve destination. 

Christmas Time

Love love loving the Christmas time, all the twinkling lights and colorful things. Heres some things I brought to my Helsinki home, I'm just a little crazy for this time of year. I hear people complaining about snow and the cold air, yet I am really happy to see the winter wonderland we live in. I don't really mind the cold as I just have a good reason to wear large scarves and big knits. My only problem is that I lack some good warm flat shoes. I have a few warm high heeled shoes but I'm not that used to wearing them on a daily basis. I should just get used to it. 

I really should think about what to wear next week for my graduation. I have no idea about what to wear, though I have one old dress that could be a good option or I can visit some stores to see if there is something nice and sparkling I could wear.

Gosh I look so odd in all these outfit pictures, did you guys notice I wore this outfit in three different ways? I had trouble choosing what I liked the most.

I'm so happy to have some flowers at home now, though I'm worried that I'll kill them like my usual habit. I either water too little or too much, but I learned that the few christmas time plants I have don't need that much water :)

95 years old

Happy 95th birthday my dear home Finland!! I always liked this day, so formal in the traditions here. Though in my neighborhood I saw very few take part in this glorious day which makes me really sad! Anyways everyone have a good good day!

Loving the Hard Rock Cafe feeling!

I thought the day that Hard Rock Cafe would be in Finland would never come but luckily I was wrong! Love love love it. :) that's all I have to say.

Oh the Eternal Darkness!

I wish I had more to say than life is busy, but life just is busy. I'm still waiting for that amazing understanding of how to have enough time for everything I need and want to do. It seems I don't have any time for photography anymore, or during the day time. SO you guys just need to be satisfied with these dark dark pictures.. 

I was a bit pondering on what to wear for an upcoming christmas party, but I do think this is too light for the cold weather we already have. I think I still need to ponder about this question :)

I kinda noticed that you can't get a clear picture of what kind of dress this is so here's a picture of me wearing it during the summer in China. Ignore my ugly legs as I was bitten by a million mosquitoes. Alright, time to watch a movie before the weekend is again gone.

SWAG

We found these walls in Kauniainen, when we were on our way to my sisters place. We cave a hug to Picatchu and posed randomly. Who said there is nothing in Espoo? I even saw the below cute assembly of flowers and pumpkins in front of a local flower store. I guess the artist was trying to spell out Starbucks but it ended up as Swag :) Cool anyway.

Ombre

I finally had some time to try out ombre nails, or what ever you call them. It was very easy to do and I kinda feel bad for not using three colors. Three colors I'll have to try out some day in the near future. I've got a lot of ideas for my nails, just so little time to do so. Hopefully I can relax and give my nails some cool new designs. 

Ain't it fun to have a random yellow star balloon in a post about nails?

As I look at my hands I'm reminded of a time when I was young and I would look at my sisters and mothers hands. I would always think when oh when would I have adult hands like theirs. Now I realize how silly that was, and how much I wish my skin didn't dry up so much during the winter. How nice it was to have tiny little hands. Time truly does fly and things change, even the littlest odd things we wish to be.

Here She Comes, The Walking Dead !

Why are woolen shirts always so damn itchy? I feel like I'm on fire, but I'm cold so what can I do. The only bad part about fall is getting your socks wet and even today I made the mistake of wearing shoes that let the water in. I already own rubber boots so why oh why didn't I just wear them today???

Uncertainty is rising in my life, January seems like such a scary time. I'll graduate soon and my contract at work ends in the beginning of January. I have no idea what is next, maybe I really should start thinking about it. Further studies attract me a great deal yet any school I get into would start next fall so I need to get a job anyways for the spring. Naturally there is also the fact of choosing what to study. More business or something new. So many decision should be made and soon, for now I'll just enjoy my cup of hot chocolate.

BTW. How tired can one person look? Seriously I look like the walking dead. Great TV show by the way, you guys should check it out!

Time Flies and Time Drags On

In a way time flies by so quickly and somehow it goes by so slow. Days at work seem so long yet short when you are in a hurry. At home I have barely time to get everything done and relax. Something is always left undone. 

I guess this is just something that I need to get used to, or then I need to sleep less :) Maybe I need a dishwasher as the most normal thing to be left undone is the dishes. I really should go do the dishes. haha.

Alright I promise this is the last Halloween post for this year. Oh how I love this time of year and Christmas too. Oh yeah its always good to have Caution tape on your bathroom door :)
