Face

A simple look on my face today. No lipstick, which I usually love wearing, but my clothes are a very lazyday-look so too much makeup wouldn’t really match that. Liking my face today though. Also my weekend started yesterday with a girl’s night. I did take photos of the food, so I might include that in a later post (thinking of making a foodpost about my recent meals). Hope you have a great day! xxx 

(Also the last picture is just a joke lol)

Have been thinking about and praying for Lamar Odom the whole day today and yesterday. And for his entire big family (families). Checking for updates constantly. Really really hoping he pulls through… Please Pray. X

The many faces of James Franco

My new James Franco top arrived at my apartment today! So obsessed! Comfy, funny, and looks good (not just because it has his handsome face/s on it). It was for a charity campaign so to my knowledge it is not available anymore. Such a fun surprise for a otherwise pretty sucky day. X  
 

Animals

I just left Helsinki and am now on the bus back to Turku (or back home in fact). It’s still weird to call Turku home. It will never be that fully because I know I’m not staying for much longer than for my studies that last ca. five years. 

When I left I realized that the ones I’m going to miss most this time around (at least now in the beginning) are my pets. I have a cat at dad’s and a dog at mom’s. We did have another cat at dad’s but she unfortunately died from a heartdisease back in May. Anyways, here are some pictures of the cuties, both from this weekend and from a longer time ago. The white cat is the one who died… I seem to mostly take pictures of my dog and couldn’t find many of the cats on this phone at least.

  

    
    
    
 

The climbing tree

About 15 minutes from where my mom lives there’s an island called Seurasaari. It kind of means the same to Helsinki as Central park does to New york city. That’s how I can explain it. The two resemble each other in no way, but the point is kind of the same. It is a place where people usually go for walks,fieldtrips, picnics, etc. 

Which is what we did a lot growing up. My mom raised us to be a very “walking family”. I think me and my sisters are among the very few people our age who actually love going on walks, not just walking to places (which we do too). 

Today I went on a walk on that same very familiar path (although there are many to choose from on Seurasaari, so I don’t walk the exact same one every time). I went with one of my good friends because walks are a good activity to do with friends, you can just talk and you get excercise and fresh air at the same time. Anyways, on my way back I suddenly thought about my surroundings a little bit more. 

The thing that I paid attention to the most was this tree. This tree is a tree that me and my sisters used to want to climb everytime we were on a walk. Our deal with mom was that if we come on a walk with her, we can climb the tree. When I look at those branches I can still understand why that was so fun for us: the tree looks like it was made for climbing. I remember my mom did have trouble getting us back home because we just wanted to stay and climb, so it did start quite a few arguments haha. Such a fun part of childhood this tree was.  Xxx

    
 

Just like a tattoo

Tattoo inspiration! I have one tattoo (the one in the title pic) but I would love to get a new one sometime in the next few years. I have loads of ideas about what I’d want, but haven’t chosen anything specific and have absolutely no idea on which part of my body to get it. Anyway here are some pictures from weheartit! What tattoos do you have or what would you like to get?
