JANUARY LIFE

Bye Christmas! See you later. / At that point, I almost threw the whole scarf in a trash bin...  

Beautiful frost day at Lykynlampi! My face was numb after walking and photographing for less than 30 minutes. 

Ice swimming <3 / Gym and swim at Vesikko. Their waterslide is still the best since my childhood xD 

Getting my life together(ish) kind of day xD

Ice skating day at Lykynlampi! That place is a must-visit every winter.  

I've never seen a frosty day, sunshine and a rainbow at the same time. So beautiful! / Looks like I'm addicted to avocado on toast after our Tallinn trip.

Voted! / I think I found the perfect polar bear coat <3 

Sunshine and matching with my teddy bear. / Laskiaispullat <3 

Homemade buns and blood orange juice for breakfast. / Fresh tulips <3

Working on my thesis and enjoying spring vibes in January (I'm still waiting for the frosty days to come back tho xD). 

Laskiaispulla date with a friend. / Halleluja, the scarf is ready!! Off to the next challenges.

FROSTY DAYS

 

This January has been exceptionally freezing! So many beautiful frost days to spend outdoors and admire the beauty of white winter nature. In those days it is easy to love Finland. Around this time one year ago my adventure of a lifetime to Scotland was about to begin. Now while being busy writing my thesis, I can't help but feel a bit down but also grateful to have such amazing memories of my time in Scotland. I will write more about my exchange period in another post and show many photos of the mighty Scotland, where I left half of my heart. Can't wait to start planning my next adventures for this year (after when I finish this pain-in-the-butt thesis and graduate xD)!

Here are photos of one of those frosty days when nature was covered in pastel colours and no matter how many layers you had on you'd still be freezing, haha. Have a lovely Monday! ♡

NEW YEAR, BETTER ME

 

MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR THE YEAR 2024:

♡ Start blogging again!! <3

♡ Graduate from UAS.

♡ Train two times per week.

♡ Less screen time and more reading and knitting.

♡ Learn (and dare!) to drive again.

♡ Keep a minimalist mindset for home decor and clothes.

♡ Keep a regular sleeping rhythm (11pm till 8 am).

♡ Drink 2 litres of water per day.

♡ Elevate beauty routines (skin and hair) and do them regularly.

♡ Dare to be different. Search and live the life I have always wanted. Old ways won't open new doors.
