Live, love, sparkle!

Goood morning!

It's been a while since me last post, I have been so busy with work and school projects. I'm already counting days for Christmas holidays.. Huh! Well lately I've been surrounded with my loved ones, family, friends and boyfriend. I surprised Tomi with homemade pulled pork burgers, even tough the burger bread was bought in store. :D

It was soo good!

Lately I've been quite exhausted but sports and active life keeps me motivated in school. Also healthy snacks, simple smoothies have helped me a lot! Here's few examples of what I eat. First there is cucumber-apple-carrot -smoothie, it tastes really good, the apple gives it great flavor!

  

And second picture includes frozen strawberry-banana-watermelon -smoothie, which was really energy bomb after workout. I don't drink any recovery drinks after workouts, because I don't feel that those are necessary for me. These smoothies works just fine. :)

 

One year ago we went to the Independence day gala with Tomi, this year I tried on my evening dress. Here's some results, picture says more than thousand words, right? Gym time really has paid off! :) With these results it's good to keep going even harder!

Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now!!

I hope you always find the reason to smile

This week I have been wondering, what is it in November that people don't wan't to do anything and just simply want's to buried at sofa with hot chocolate and good movies. Why it's hard to get anyone to make any outdoor activity this time of year? Well, answer is simple. 

Today's beauty, Christmas has come to our home.

Today when I was jogging at the middle of day it was dark, even it was the most brightest moment of the day. I totally lost my interest and I really don't blame anyone who doesn't wan't to go outside at this time of year. It's dark, wet, windy and all the trees has lost their leafs. But still, I hope everybody can find something beautiful in everyday life (it's not that easy I admit).

Last weekend I had girls time with my ex-roommate Aino, and I had cozy messyhair look. We played new version Monopoly and our other board games. It reminded me for the time we used to live together, so many memories. Sometimes you appreciate the most memorable moments after many years. It's good to know that I have someone special friend in my life like Aino. <3

Last night's treat.

I finally got my long desired blender which can make smoothie's and also cream soups! Thank you so much Tomi for that. Now I can have pure energy from berries and fruits every morning. :) I also got really good smoothie-book which includes so many delicious recipes! This one included:

1 sliced banana
100g iced strawberries
150g non-flavored yogurt

Crush, mix & enjoy!

Dreams don't work unless you do

Good Friday!!

Well, now it's official. I will be Russian for five months. Yesterday was finally The day, when everything I had planed for next Spring finally came true. I got the letter of acceptance to the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University!! I'm so excited that I could dance right now. This is _awesome_ ! I'll be coming back to Finland at the middle of June.

The letter.

Today I asked my boyfriend, what you are planning to after your work? You know what he answered? "Well, I was planning to get to movies to watch James Bond (the one I couldn't watch last week because of it's popularity), with you." So that's the plan for tonight, James Bond, please don't be disappointing movie. 

Because Sunday is the Father's day, I asked this week from my dad, can I come to Tampere at Sunday by bus? He answered and asked, "Would you prefer spending the Saturday with me, we could go to play disc golf?" I said that sure it's okay, and right after that I'm going to take him to the brunch at Seurahuone. Finally some quality time after long time. Love my dad so much. <3

Wake up and Make up

Hi everyone!

Today was so smooth, we started at gym with Riina and after that I had long breakfast and time for my own. I love that even I have many school projevts going on, I still have days like this in the middle of week.

After the gym I prepared for our so called datenight with Tomi, sometimes we don't even do nothing special, we just arrenge time for us. Because we both have our own hobbies and plans, so these days are just planned for us. (It's not that easy when both are so busy) Today I had more time than usually to put some effort to my make up.

After Tomi came home, we were just hanging out and later I went to this restaurant called "Siipiravintola Lahti" and bought chicken wings and crispy fries with sauces. I really recommend that place if you're looking for cheap and quick food. You can also have it with you at home, points for that! :)

We were supposed to watch football game but Tomi was so exhausted from long day at work so after dinner he falled asleep next to me, I took advantage from situation and watched Sexa dn the city instead! Better luck next time honey! ;) xx

Tomorrow I'm going to school to statt our next project in International marketing strategy, we'll see what innovative we can make for Finnair in this playful project. I'm a bit nervous because tomorrow I also have to investigate what systems Kouvola city uses in their activity. I have to do six pages of text about that subject with three other people, let's hope it is easy task. I'm counting for holidays, only just over month left!!

Moments

Hello!

Weekend went so fast that I didn't even realize it's already behind. I used my weekend with my friends and also with my family and boyfriend. It was nice to have girls talk and also have quality time with family. Viivi, Henry and Nicklas grows all so fast that this big sister isn't that big anymore. At least if you compare mine and Henry's difference in length (I'm no longer leading that competition). :D

Love you guys!! xo

At Sunday night we arrenged movie night with Anni and Alena, first we went to a little evening walk and after that while walking to my place we discovered this little "children's" playground with trampolines and so on, so of course we had to try those. :D Then we went to my place and had quite many snacks. Yammy in my tummy. :)

 Yesterday I went to have lunch with Trina at the Mamma Maria -restaurant, and as usual, I went with pasta. Surprise,surprise. But what can I say, in that restaurant it's (in my opinion) best you can get. :) We were talking about our future plans and I realized that we have quite same goals in life, we both want to do work that makes us happy and also that you have time for your family.

Mmm, pasta!

Today we talked lot about global marketing and also how important it is to have good basics to your brand development. I really think that if you don't have your company your own marketing- and logistic strategies, you can't survive in nowadays markets. You must be different somehow, do the things that others haven't done yet.
