I’ve been doing my nails since the beginning of this year. I have shown you many variations, but not all. This time I think these in particular are my favorite.

I’m on my own journey towards minimalism. I started decluttering about 2 years ago, and since then I’ve got rid of loads. Decluttering is really a process, and I’m not by far done yet. I’ve been listening to perhaps tens and tens of decluttering videos, minimalism and frugal living content. I’ve comprehended a lot of different ways of decuttering, and I’ve binge read all of Marie Kondos books. I’ve tried lots of different metods regarding to getting rid of things. The Marie Kondo way, is the known way of holding an object in your hands, if it doesn’t spark joy – then it’s up for decluttering. Also, there are lots of other tricks, for instance – if the object is not a “Hell yes!” then it’s a no. You can also put things you’re unsure of in a time box for a while, and see if you really miss the objects in question. You can ask yourself, would you purchase this item again if it got destroyed. If the answer is no, then let it go.

My dream home, is a home where you have limited, but nice things around you. A place where you can relax, and not be bothered by loads of junk. A place with “Feng shui” in place.

I do not think I mentioned this, but I will move to Porvoo in the near future. Therefore I want to bring only the things I like to my new home.

Stay tuned for more minimalism content!

We tried new waffles at the beach! And the iced latte is absolutely stunning! We usually go on a walk trough the forest and end up here halfway back.

I’ve been having a renovation in my bathroom during the last month or so. I really like how it turned out! Very modern and minimalistic, just my taste. We painted the walls and floor, and switched the furniture, shower and bits and bobs. I specifically love the sink, and the glass walls.

The apartment I live in belonged to my grandma, so a renovation was definitely in place.

So, I attended a mosaic course here in Lovisa! It was so much fun! I am quite passionate about expressing myself in various sorts, and I love everything about crafting. I love doing everything from clay work, sewing, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, to doing pieces of jewelry. This time I attended a one weekend long mosaic course. I got to finish two main works I had in mind.

My workspace

This Sarpaneva piece I decorated with glass mosaic. Beforehand, I had to convince my dad to let me use this glass piece as a base. I think it turned out good though!

We are currently renovating our bathroom, and this piece I will hang up in the updated space.

We had the best waffles ever at Lovisa plagens beach bar this last weekend. If you’re around, you should definently go and get one. They have many different kinds of waffles, everything from sweet to salty. We had the regular one with strawberry jam, and the other with liquorise sauce. Next time we’re gonna try the salted caramel one.

It’s official! My very second photo exhibition is now up at my local cafe. it will last the whole month of April. There are 11 new prints of dolls, and a total of 6 new postcards.

here comes a sneak peak! ——>

As promised, here comes a closeup of the piece of jewelry I got for my birthday!

Pandora rose gold earrings, with stones around the hoop.

One year has indeed again went by, which means I turned 31. I once again had a good birthday. Last Thursday we went out for supper and enjoyed a pan pizza. It’s funny, because I haven’t had a pan pizza in literally 20 years. I remember “kotipizza” had these yummy pan pizzas when I was a kid, and our family ordered pan pizzas home every now and then. We then found out that Rosso in Porvoo offer these kinds of pizzas! After this, we went to Timanttiset, and I got to choose a piece of jewelry. This I will show you later!

On Friday I was like any other birthday, In Helsinki for some shopping with my best friend. I can proudly admit, that I stayed in my budget! I bought a pair of new black nike pants, a west, and also a black hoodie from footlight, which I already have in white that I love. The only impulsive buy was these lovely pink fluffy sandals also from Footlight. Maybe I put a picture of these also later!

During the weekend we had some princess cake and just took it easy. Here under I will insert some pictures!!

I got these beautiful flowers for my birthday, and also a lot of my favorite candy, Lumi Panther. You can also see that I decorated for easter.

Here is the flowers in closeup.

The delicious pan pizza!

It’s that time of the month again! NEW NAILS!! I really love these ones, maybe might be my favorite nails this far. Next month I have an appointment again, but this time I also made time for a makeup session. The person I go to, offer a lot of different services regarding to cosmetology. In April I booked myself a make up lesson with the nails. It’s gonna be interesting! Stay tuned.
