Ah Christmas!

Christmas, my favorite time of the year. When I get to decorate with candles and snowflakes. The smell of cookies and glögi fills the air. Christmas songs fill the air and one feels at peace. Soon I'll be going back home to spend Christmas with my family, but in a way I am sad. My own place is so nice and Christmassy at the same time. The only thing currently missing is snow and according to the news it won't be here for Christmas. Christmas just isn't the same without snow.. Maybe there might be a miracle in store for us?

I'm so excited for Christmas already! I've already started with some Christmas decor in my little place, can't wait to put up my Christmas tree. There is a tradition in Finland to have a little Christmas party at the end of November or something like that, and I've decided to have a very private party with Panda and put up my Christmas tree. I'm also a tad nervous about going to the dentist tomorrow but it needs to be done. Another thing that needs to be done is the dishes, its amazing how well I can avoid doing it. 

For example one great way to avoid the dishes, oh I could post something today. Well lets see what happens. Oh how I would love to paint those yellow walls white.. I greatly dislike them. Alright time to do the dishes.

Shameful..

I've been such a lazy blogger that shame on me.. I'll try to be better, I swear. Not much to say that I love Halloween but already now I'm looking forward to Christmas and all these things have been put away to wait for next year..

Fall time

Leaves have turned yellow and fallen away, parties with crayfish and lights. Nights that get longer, all the things that make fall.. Though we had some snow here already, I went back home to mom and they had serious snow and ice. Had to get my car tires changed so I can handle this new winter weather. I can't wait for snow and Christmas, but first its Halloween time!!! Yaay, I have already started my decorations so guys you can wait to see some cool orange pictures soon. Thats all for now.

What would a Summer be without a Wedding

I'm laying around, sick as can be. I wonder where my voice went. Maybe Panda took it with himself to China. Oh well, I guess I should just be quiet. Good thing typing doesn't require any vocal activity. I was at a wedding this summer, though it was completely odd for me. I used to Finnish weddings but this was not a Finnish wedding.. We had lunch and the part ended really early. But it was fun anyway and I got to wear my pretty minty lace dress and new silver heals!

August, where did you go?

Wooahh, its already the end of August. Where did the time fly? Well sure a lot has happened, like I'm back at work, Panda can drive and dancing began again.. I just looked at all the pictures I have to post and I feel sad, I had such big plans to post all the outfits during summer. Well its still summer in my mind and its been nice warm these past few days.

 Ooh how I really miss all the pretty flowers, though there are still a lot of them outside. I just happened to kill all of my balcony flowers, though it might be that they lived for their time that they should have. Oh well I don't make sense anymore, gonna go to sleep :)

Ombreish?

I was trying to do some ombre style nails, but they didn't really turn like I thought. Need to try out some lighter colors next time. Oh man, monday is coming up too soon and I have to return to work. I feel like I haven't done anything yet, well I still have a few days. HAHA.

Golden Fields

Set fire to the sky

Sunsets are so lovely, colorful, joyful. In Finland of course during summertime they are allusive as the day just keeps going and during winter the night seems forever. Yet when you do catch one it is as if the sky is on fire.

Hope Panda and the girls don't mind they ended up in one of my posts, but this was the last night we all would be together. Well of course hopefully not forever but it wouldn't be as easy as it used to. It was maybe the first time the change felt so real, even though I graduated last year already but this night was the first time I realized how it was an end of an era for all of us in away. Things would never be quite the same and we all had different kinds of paths to follow. Yet I'm sure we will keep in contact but it just wouldn't be the same.

Pink Hydrangeas

The days of summer: filled with flowers and bees, soap bubbles and yard games... all fun activities we wish could last forever. Cakes of strawberry and vegetables from your own garden, please say it won't end?? Too bad its already the end of July and most of August I'll be spending in an office. Oh the torment. Well at least there are still some days of summer left and my birthday to look forward to..

Flowery Peplum

Summer, sun, flowers and a peplum shirt.. what a nice combination. Though I must say, I should supervise better when Panda takes pictures of me. Look at this, I'm in the sun but still in the shade.. I think I need to teach Panda some lessons in taking pictures and making the object of the picture look good aka me :) Its been a few stressful weeks and especially days. Trying to teach and also figure out plans for next year, which soon I fear will be too late if I don't act quickly. In this rare occasion I'm super indecisive, which is rare for me. I usually know exactly what I want.

Beach lily, mint waterfall...

Where on earth did the warm summer days go? Not that I'm one of those people that love hot days, nor hate cold. I just feel like I need more days of summer. Maybe I just need to rest a little more or maybe I need to get more things done. Oh well lets see what today and tomorrow bring. I think I need a little nap to get my thinking straight again.. Oh yeah pictures are all from Vuosaari.
