Had the most wonderful saturday morning with dear friends and waffles at brunch at Laura's place. She lives in a beeeeautiful 3-story wooden flat with her boyfriend and the house is amazingly decorated by Laura. Super inspiring!

It's always so easy and fun to snap outfit-pics with another fellow blogger and friend. I was feeling positive and cheerful so flower patterns and peach leather was the perfect combo-mood of the day!

P.S Flying to Rome bright and early tomorrow morning, can't wait!!! 

Tunnen oloni aina superonnekkaaksi kun saan aloittaa päivän hyvien ystävien ja brunssin merkeissä. Vietimme tämän pääsiäislauantain ihanan ystäväni Lauran luona Turussa, jossa hän asuu poikaystävänsä kanssa maailman kauniimmasta kolmikerroksisessa puutalossa (Joka on myös uskomattoman siististi sisustettu!!). Otimme samalla Lauran kanssa toisistamme päivän asukuvat, on aina niin helppoa ja hauskaa räpsiä kuvia toisen bloggaajan ja erityisesti hyvän ystävän kanssa. Minulla oli aamusta asti positiivinen ja pirteä olo, joten asuni koostui sielunpeilinä kukkakuviosta ja persikanvärisestä nahkahameesta!;)

P.S lähtö Roomaan aikaisin huomenna aamulla, en malta odottaa!!

Ahhhhh sunday, sacred sunday!! We had our housewarming party on friday so yesterday was spent mostly in bed all day watching movies and eating loads of junkfood (and cleaning up the post-housewarming, ewww)! I just got this top I ordered from nastygal.com, it fits this weekend's mood perfectly ;) 

Suomeksi:

Ahhh sunnuntai pyhä sunnuntai!! Perjantaina juhlittiin meillä tupareita, joten eilinen meni pitkälti sängyssä katsellen leffoja ja syöden roskaruokaa (ja post-tupareiden siivoamisessa yäk)! Sain tämän nastygal.com:ista tilaamani topin perjantaina postissa, se sopii aivan täydellisesti tämän viikonlopun moodiin ;) 

Natural Skincare.

In winter, my typical Finnish skin starts looking tired, grey, and dry. Might be because we sometimes have -20degrees here in wintertime, might be because a a quite normal skintype here is very delicate and thin.

For about a month now, I've been trying an all-natural skincare method. Instantly, after the first day I felt my skin was softer, more flexible and the colour was healthy and vivid!

My daily routine include:

Morning:
Wash with a splash of water, then pad on some rosewater. Moisturize with olive oil.

Evening:
I gently take off all makeup with avokado oil, and remove the access dirt with cottonpads.
I then use a tiny drop of olive oil for moisturizing.

A couple of times a week:
Ecological honey. A teaspoon is enough, gently scrubbing the face and then wash off with water. You can add a bit of sugar and a drop of lemon if you want to make it a peeling mask!

All these products are completely natural and organic, you can find most of them in normal supermarkets, and what's best: they are cheap (!) and FILLED with vitamins and stuff our skin so desperately needs! 100% pure, clean and good for you.

 

Avocado oil and Rosewater

Even e greasy skin that easily gets spots can get better with oils. Why? Grease and fat disolves fat.
The key is finding the oil that works just for your skin, as there are semi-fat oils and fat oils.
 Right now, since it's winter I'm using a really fat oil, the Olive oil one. Easy, because I also use it for cooking, so I just filled a plastic cosmetic-container with it to keep in my bathroom.

Semi-fat oils include jojoba or almond oil. Remember to not use oils with ingredients to which you are allergic to! And greasier skintypes, use apple vinegar mixed with water as a tonic for the face!

Tip:
Slices of cucumber or Camomille teabags that have been in the fridge for a while are GREAT for puffy eyes and dark circles.

Hope you got some good tips! It really helped my skin so I hope it does the same for you.

Quick flick

 

Me on the boat from Sweden to Finland.

I'm back home in Finland again for a while, tonight I went to see the legendary musical HAIR with my mom, and tomorrow I'm longing for some creative time in my very messy studio-ish room full of fabrics, buttons, ribbons, pearls, studs etc...

stay home?

I'm back home in Finland for a couple of days, today my sister graduated and I was really looking forward to going out tonight!

...But after being a hostess helping at my sisters party for the whole day checking everyone was having fun, I'm now curled up under blankets with food and a glass of spumante doing some DIY-stuff haha! Let's see if someone manages to convince me to go out in the rain from this wonderfullness.
