Must drink it

Bad days&photos

Bad bad bad. Me. Haven't followed my diet as I should have. Yesterday I ate some fish and rice and today yoghurt. I am weak. I know. 

Will still try to continue on this "mostly fruit&veggie" diet plan until Friday. At least no bread, no sweets and no meat this week!

Photo taken in Frankfurt. I quite feel like that poor man.
Ps. Please don't ask why I have taken a photo like this.

Fruit&Veggie Diet

DAY 1

Today it's the first day of my 5-day Fruit&Veggie diet. I try not to eat any meat, wheat or anything else but fresh fruit and veggies.

Don't ask why. I just want to push my limits.

Coffee with a little bit of milk is allowed. Let's not push too much.

Cosy Sunday

Don't feel like going out too much as it's cold. And there is snow. I am not a winter person at all.

Best thing in winter are cosy nights at home. 

Espresso Drama

There was an auction today at work. I was determined to offer the highest price for this espresso machine and I won! But there was some drama. I had to bribe someone to give up the contest.

Just hope the espresso is worth of the bribery. 

And the winner is...

m4ries@hotmail.com! Congrats! You won the cruise to Stockholm. I have sent you an e-mail. 


I thank all the three comment leavers :) At least some people have found my blog. Three is better than zero! ;)

Finland Boots

Love at first sight. Found these winter boots at UFF second hand shop. If the boots are called "Finland" they must be warm.

Our cat Seppo wants to be in every picture!

Holiday in Helsinki

Stressed out? Need a holiday but no time to travel? Why not booking a hotel in your home city.

I did. But where and when? It is a surprise for my dear boyfriend.

When he least expects it...

That much I can say it's a Scandic hotel that gave me this opportunity and idea.

Cat in my Head?

Love my new hat. It is warm and gives shelter from winter breeze.

Ps. it ain't real fur. I prefer living animals.

Hat from Seppälä, around 10€

Night Table Wanted

There are so many good options for a simple night table. Here is my top3:

1. DLM table by Hay (159€)

2. Strind by Ikea (79€)

3. Bailey Tray table by David design (137€)

Oh tell me, which one to choose?

Of course, decoration is also needed. Iittala's pink Vitriini glass box and a cute dalecarlian horse would fit in.

Flowers

Some have probably already noticed that I like flowery patterns. Granny look, some might say. Anyway, I am going to spend this All Saints' day wearing my colorful flowers. 

Nostalgia

What is the remedy when you yearn for the past? For me it is simply "kettukarkki" (fox candy). Brings back those carefree childhood times.

I see red

Most of my favorite clothes are from flee markets or online auctions. Like this Benetton's knitted dress.

I know, winter is coming. But you can always dress up at home and pretend it's summer!

Dress up and have a summery home picnic!

Good Morning Hazelnut

Just quickly before work wanted to come here and give all the coffee drinkers a tip. Try Indiska's Hazelnut brew to spice up the mornings. I recommend to mix it with the regular coffee first. (half and half)

Have a nice Monday!

This coffee gives a shaky head!
