FEBRUARY DAYS

Dear diary, February was such a beautiful month! So many sunny but frosty days, which I love <3

Can't resist a laskiaspulla when I see one. 

I found these gorgeous Guess shirts second-hand. The white one is long-sleeved, and the black one is a t-shirt.  

My bedroom <3

I wanted some change to my living room, so I got rid of my Ikea bookshelves. The plan is to find an antique brown sideboard to store all my books and display my picture frames. 

Pancakes for lunch <3

I did some good sales and second-hand finds. The shoes and the Dior bag are second-hand finds, and the dress is a sale find from H&M.

Valentine's Day looked like this! Long walk in sunshine, buns in Houkutus, receiving a big bouquet of pink roses and a bottle of wine...

... and the day ended with watching Dracula: A Love Tale with some movie treats. Huge recommendation for that movie! Caleb Laundry Jones did an amazing job playing Dracula! He is so beautiful I couldn't stop staring at him xD  <3

Snowfall day in Lykynlampi <3

The sauna and avanto in Lykynlampi were exceptional! I'll definitely visit there again, and I think at dark the experience would be even more magical!  

Enjoying a sunny day outside with Kentsu <3

JANUARY DAYS

Dear diary, January started with trying the sauna and avanto in Saunakeidas for the first time! I really liked the place, and that you can book your stay there with limited spots. There were only three other people with us, so the whole experience was so calm and peaceful. 

Beautiful location to have a swim all year round!

Cake break with a friend. Taitokortteli is always so pretty, but especially at Christmas time! 

My annual tradition, aka making a vision board and setting my goals for the new year. Always so powering to do!

Ice-skating and laskiaispullat = the best compo ever.  

Getting ready for a girls' night. A glass of wine and catching up is always a good idea. 

Tea break while packing for a weekend trip.  

Day 1 in Helsinki:

Arriving around noon and going for drinks before checking into our room.  

We stayed in this beautiful room at  Bob W., right in the city centre, next to the railway station. Such a convenient location!  

Dinner at Rue Madame. I'm so glad we went there! For a moment, I felt like being abroad in the best way possible. The restaurant is so beautiful, the food was excellent and a special mention to the bathroom! It was so beautiful, but you have to experience it for yourself <3 

We continued our evening with a metal concert, where three different bands (President, Landmvrks, and Architects) were playing. And ended our day with a takeaway pizza. 

Day 2 in Helsinki:

We slept late and had breakfast at Green Hippo. After eating, we wandered around the city centre, visiting shops and admiring the architecture. 

We got a takeaway dinner from Joe & the Juice and headed to our train, ready to travel home.
