Ciao Bella!

First week has gone fast! Much has been done and happened. Also the Christmas passed away already, and we didn’t totally find out Italian people traditional Christmas. We tried to ask that from everyone and we got millions of different answers.

But we got know that Italians celebrate the Christmas on 25^th of December, so we Finns are inpatient and start celebrating a day before than rest of the world (expect the Nordic countries)

on 24^th of December we had a Finnish Christmas dinner, well not so traditional, but at least we had it on the Christmas Eve. We had Christmas porridge at first and then pesto pasta… We didn’t get glögi for this Christmas, cause we had to throw them off at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport, we had too much over weight and we didn’t want to pay nearly 70€ of that.  And I got one Christmas present on this year, I didn’t expect it, but it was really nice to have. I got Italiano- Finlandese dictionary! : D And we have got so many laughs with it.. we have some common words, pronounced same way, but the spelling is just different.

            

25^th of December we didn’t do much during the day, just slept and watched sex and the city- series and moomins (: But on the evening we went to a opening of a new club, ‘Serendipity’

Soon I'm going to Rome, so probably I will take some photos and post them here later when I find some time and if we have internet connection!

Problems!

I started packing some days ago, but now I'm doing most of it. And I already got some problems. Airlines has that stupid weight limit for luggages, 23kg, in some airlines it's even less! I can't understand how people can go for a holiday without paying any fees of over weight!

My problem is + 5kg! I've took only the most important things and clothes I have to take, but still it's nearly impossible to close...
I need to pack my hand luggage so full as possible : D And if it's a bit over weight still, I really wish they wont take any fees of that. I have had luck with that twice when I have had over weight. Other times I've had lot of kilos to spend... Let's see what my luggage will say when I'm coming back to Finland.

I have to give few liters of glögi off. It's way too heavy, I just need to try survive with little less of glögi this Christmas / New year's Eve... But they're waiting me here, when I'm back here in January (:

For the staff of Ostello I made a Christmas card today. I went to tiimari to buy some card stuffs, but almost eveything was sold out, all the Christmas things. But then I found something and bought them also I used some papers which I found from home. But this is the card I was able to do today (:

I'm Coming Home!

Not so long anymore. Finally the day which I have been waiting for 4,5 months is here, 19th of December!
Soon Helsinki- Vantaa is calling, I've manage my luggage weight to 25,4kg. It's the best I can do, let's see if they won't make me to pay extra fees because of that.

Today I have been spending my last day in Finland (for next 3 weeks) watching movies and sleeping. I still need to clean up my room, so it won't look huge mess (: And I have to check I have packed all the things I need in Italy, cause now I there won't be time to send them for me, like last time I did.


Saturday, 17th of December
On this rainy day, our Italian students wanted to go for a visit to Suomenlinna. There was pretty horrible : D Cold and windy. Not the best time of the year go there, but they wanted to see this place, and they got... Also they wanted to get out of there pretty fast : D I have to admit, that I was pretty happy about that short visit. If they ever come back here in Summer, they can go there again (:

And after this 'lovely' trip to Suomenlinna I went back home and my friend came to pick me up to her place. We made cookies... Well I was sleeping on chairs when she was doing them : D I helped her with decorating them and eating them of course! ^^
Rest of the evening we spent laying on the bed and searching funny videos on youtube, watching tv and just talking everything. And after the midnight she brought me back home. I was suppose to stay there over the night, but I didn't wanna wake up early tomorrow, so I decided to come home to sleep on my own bed and no one won't wake me up before I wanna wake up (:

Piparitalkoot ja Glögiä

Our Saturday morning started well. We had to go to Finns with my friend. To make cookies with Italian and Estonian students. Well the person who was arranged this called us and said we have to handle this thing today, cause she's sick.
 Well we were there in a morning around 10.30am and we heated glögi for them. It came 11 o'clock when all the students was suppose to come, well there wasn't anyone. We decided to make few cookies for us first. The  cookies was suppose to be in a oven for 5 to 7 minutes. After 10 minutes, they wasn't ready yet, so we let them be there little longer. And now there came few Estonian students, they were looking for their tutor, the one who were arranged this ting. We told them that she's sick and won't be here today. They were really happy and left in a same second away. Now the cookies were in a oven for 30mins and still they were raw.... We checked them after an hour and still the same!! Now we little gave up and went to sit and talk on couch.
Now after another 30 mins my friend noticed that there was pretty familiar smell (to us :D) and we realized the cookies were burn!

Well we had 4 liters glögi to drink. And when my friend's mom came to pick us up we gave some for her too, but we still couldn't drink that all together.
I never seen cookies like this before : D We're just the best in the kitchen. To be honest, we should never be in the kitchen together :P
At least we had really fun and hilarious Saturday morning ;)

12 Giorni e arrivo in Italia!

Okei, now there won't be so much time for the departure! Just 12 days, and before that is happening so much everything, so time will fly! Tomorrow I'm going on one info event to Opteam. It's for new workers and I need to bring some papers there, so I can start working, but I'll start working on January when I have come back to Finland.

So for tomorrow my shopping list would look something like this;

- Brush for dishes
- glögi (traditional finnish Christmas drink)
- Christmas pie dough and plum marmalade
- Baking sheet
- porridge rice

We're trying to have all the possible stuffs to Italy from here and take from home, so we'd save a bit more money. But I wanna have a Christmas tree there, but I think I have to get it from Foligno. My mom told me to take one from here. Small one of course and plastic, but let's see what I'm gonna do. But I do want the tree!

Oh, and today I found out that we have an exam tomorrow. I didn't know anything about it, but maybe it doesn't matter so much, cause I wouldn't bother to study anyway. I'm lazy student, just sleeping at school and won't do anything at home (:

Days with Italians

Few past day has been spent with Italian students from Foligno. We have been doing little bit stuffs with them and ´without them (:

1° Giorno
The fist day went well, we played with some games where we got to know each other little bit. With us was those Italians, Estonian students and also some Finnish students who are going to a exchange to Estonia.
We had a dinner where the students are living and in the evening we went to home. We didn't get much time to spend with them, cause first of all, Italians were 1,5 hours late. Well, that's normal for Italians, we were totally forgot that, but now we know to prepare for that ;)

2° Giorni

Wednesday morning we wen't to bakery class with Italians. We baked karelian pasties and korvapuusties : D And then we introduced them to our school's bar class. We did margarita and some other cocktails and let them drink/taste them, that's our school ! I think making drinks is the best part of our school ;D
On the evening we tried to get contact to Italians, but they wanted to go to home and sleep. So we made a little group of our friends and we went to drink and eat something and of course talking & having fun! (:

3° Giorni, 1st of December...

Yeah... today was really  unusual day. We went to beach with Italianos. The principle of the Italian school likes sauna and swimming so much, so he wanted to go to beach ON DECEMBER O.O well anyway, our international coordinator was made a reservation for us to sauna, we went there and almost all the Italians went to swim. The water was freezing! I stayed on ground and I was just taking photos of them ;) But in the end we got coffee/tea/hot chocolate or soda and one korvapuusti (:
 Tomorrow there should be a Helsinki tour, Awesome! I don't know anything about any sightseeing in Helsinki, well few places... but I'm gonna tell later, on weekend how it passed by : D And maybe some pics from there :)

P.S. Italiani sono matti!

CIAO CIAO! BUONANOTTE A TUTTI!

A Start for the next 6 awesome weeks

Allora, now the wedding has passed away, and it was a real disaster! No one didn't know nothing about anything! Not even the groom, so well planned wedding. But anyway we survived well. Now there's missing just the judgement, we couldn't do that cause we didn't have all the papers. But it will be done by this week.
And at the moment the Italians has landed to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. And tomorrow we get to spend time with them and get know each other. It's gonna be hard to wait entire day that : D But maybe we'll manage it somehow ;) From now on we're able to speak Italian for 6 weeks! Nearly that  time which I lived in Italy!
On thursday I have 'wine test'. I have to know everything about wines and grapes... I don't have time to study for that. I wish I have good luck cause I have done that test once already, last year. But our teacher won't believe us (he's not the same teacher than last year) so we have to do that again :/
Now I might not be able to post anything at least before next sunday. Cause my friend broke my laptop and I'm not able to write with it. But probably we're going to buy a new one on sunday, it's not sure, but I try to get new one as soon as possible, there's just little problems with that. Let's see what will happen.. I hope the best!

CountDown

I'm about to have breakdown! The weddings are in two days, on Saturday and the groom sent the schedule yesterday. Tomorrow we should be decorating and placing all the tables and just make all the possible things ready for the big day. But we haven't got nearly any information of anything. We do know something, but the problem are tables... Place is small and there's some couches which we have to use. This evening I'm gonna spend with the weddings.







I'm happy my friend is coming here tonight and she's gonna stay over the night. Something else to think than stress and school :) But I'm gonna manage all this, and after Saturday, there's less to stress (:

Tomorrow morning I'm going to see the place where the Italian students from Foligno will stay. We have planned a schedule for them yesterday. We're gonna do a little Helsinki tour for them with trams, we're gonna spend the independent day with them, with Mexican food, tortillas... nami ;) And of course we have to take them out for clubs and just hanging out with them (: I will miss some school because of them, but I really don't care. Atm I think it's more important to make the Italians comfortable and I don't want them to get bored here. They're gonna stay in the middle of nowhere :P So we try to help them the best way we just can :) 

A job interview

In the morning I went to school and stayed there couple of hours and then I had to go to Helsinki.
It was pretty important day for me, I had a job interview. It was at 1 p.m. I left little early from school, I could have stayed a little longer there, but this was really good reason to get out of there early ;)

So in Helsinki, I was looking for the place where the interview was. I never been there or never seen the building. I just got the address... last night, mom told me to look up to a map so I would know a bit where to go, but I was so sure I would know where it is, so I didn't bother to do that. Of course when I went there, I couldn't find it :P It wasn't the street what I thought, so it took a little longer to find the right place, but I'm so happy I left little too early (: But I was on time there.

After an interview I met my friend who I wasn't seen for long time. We had really nice time and we went for a coffee twice. On the second time we were smart and went to one restaurant where our common friend is working and she was on shift so we got free coffee (:

... And about the interview, now I'm waiting a call from there and see will I have a job or not (:

Thumbs Up! ;)

My Top 10

I started to think some of my favorite stuffs which I really can't live without. I listed  them and when I was ready and I took a picture of them, I realized I forgot nearly one of my favorite stuff. It's one mug which I got from my friend from Poland a year ago for a birthday present. Ever since I have always used that mug, if it's been clean. I love it more than anything. And if I'm going to our summer cottage or I'm going for dad for little while, it's always with me (: I nearly took it to Italy, but I didn't want it to broke on the way, so I left it home then.

But now my  Top 10 list

1.Hoodie, under all the stuff. I bought it last spring, it's one of my favorite hoodie. It's really useful, cause it's men XL nearly everyone can wear it (: Something good about huge clothes ;) 

2. I pod. Has been my friend over 3 years now. Many times has tried to broke down, but in the end it has started to work again. And it has fell down from stairs many times and once it fell down from second floor to first. Hope it's gonna work for long! 

3. HTC desire, My phone, a bit over a year old. I kinda like this phone, but still every phone has own problems, and this isn't an exception. But there's all the useful and not so useful apps. 

4. My nomination bracelets. I wear them every single day. I don't know why they became so important, cause few years ago, I was totally forgotten them, and now, I'm gonna get a panic attack, if I can't find them anywhere : D 

5. Camera, Canon, but this camera in the picture is just showing that it's important for me. The camera I would wanted to be in the picture was in my hands, cause that camera what's on the hoodie, isn't that good, so I didn't wanna use it. But I'm taking photo all the time when it's possible. I love photos <3

6. Hand bag, it's just girl's best friend. You can find anything there, but no one never should go there without a permission! It can be full of secrets ;) 

7. My Italian book. It's just part of my everyday life. It helps me with the language I love the most (: It has taught me a lot, even it's not that old. 

8. My cocktail shaker and sieve. It's my passion to make drinks cocktails. I think the best way to learn all the recipes (and after that you can make your owns, well why not earlier too) is to make them and taste them, so you know how they succeed and taste ;) 

9. My mug! <3 It's love, like I said, I can't live without it. I got it from one person who is so important in my life! I'm gonna try to keep this mug unbroken as long as possible :) 

10. Titanic & testorteron. Movies which are one of my favorites. Of course I have many other favorite movies, but these two just were lucky to get on my blog :) I love spend a day watching movies and just laying on bed or couch, so if it's rainy day, it's a movie time! and also when it's not raining :) 

Paranormal friday

Tänää meil ei ollu kovin pitkä koulupäivä, päästiin kotia jo 10am. Mietittii siin si kaverin kaa mitä tehtäs loppupäivän, ko aikaa oli koko päivä. Myö päädyttiin meille, ja syötiin suklaapastaa, joka ei sit loppujen lopuks ollu nii hyvää mitä ois voinu olla, mut tulipaha kokeiltuu ja ei tarvii enää ostaa lisää : D 

 Ja josaki vaiheessa myö mentiin nukkumaa muutamaks tunniks, ko oltii nukuttu miltei kaik tunnit koulussa, tai no ne muutamat mitkä myö siel oltii. Nukuttii siinä si pari tuntii ja sen jälkee päätettii kahtoo mitä leffoi pyörii täl hetkel leffoissa. Päädyttiin Paranormal activity 3'n. 

Ja ostin muutes leffaliput ensimmäist kertaa netist : D oon ain vaa varannu niit ja huomattii et tää oli nii paljo kätevämpi tapa, ei tarvii  menn jonottelee sinne tuntii aikasemmi hakemaa niit lippui (: 

Ja siit leffast viel, se oli aika pelottava ain välil, tai tuli säikähettyy aika mont kertaa, ko ne kohtaukset tuli nii yhtäkiä! Mut se oli iha ok, ei ny nii hyvä mitä mie olin kuvitellu, mut iha katottava.

Nyt kohta viel sauna päälle ja sinne rentoutumaa, vaikken ees tykkää saunasta, mut kyl sinne ain välil jaksaa raahautuu (: 

 

Happy Feet

Today has been pretty awesome day :) Everything went well, even I was so tired and was hard to stay awake.
 At school we did a small wine tasting. We tried out 3 different white wine, but I didn't like any of them. I don't drink wine, but my friend was really happy to have my wine too ;)

After school my friend came at my place and we ate a bit, and then we had to leave to one shopping mall, cause she's working there, and her shift was starting soon. We had little time to go around the mall and after a while she left and I left to Helsinki.

There, in Helsinki, I went to my previous job to see some people, and I was lucky, they all were in same shift. Usually, if I go there, no one who I want to be there, won't be. But anyway, she was just quitting and then we went to a 'Mbar' for one drink and we were talking about everything cause we wasn't seen each other since I quit my job. Also I told about the wedding I have to plan with my friend as a school project and she offered her help little bit. She told some stuff what would be useful to know, and what I might not realize to ask. And at that moment all the stress I had because of this eased away (:

Also one other awesome thing we got to know!
We're having people here from Foligno on 28 of November! I really can't wait that, we're gonna have 6 weeks together, cause they're going back to Foligno on the same day than we do and we have to host them while they're in Finland. It's gonna be awesome, I'm so anxious about this (:

Daddy's day!

Tänää siis täälä Espoossa (ja muuallaki Suomessa) vietettiin iskän päivää. Oli tarkotus mennä sinne jo eilen ja et olisin ollu sielä yön yli, mut suunitelmiin tuli muutoksia ja päädyin sinne vast tänä aamuna :)

Päivä vierähti siel aika nopeesti, syötiin lounas, tapasin iskän uuden naisystävän, katoin muutamia leffoja, syötiin kakkuu ja kahvia ja päivän päätteeks tuli viel rikottuu iskän läppäri =) Tosin se oli ollu jo rikki pikkuse, mut miun käytön jälkee ei enää suostunu meneen päälle olleska : D

Christmas... Not quite yet!

All the shops has started already their Christmas... Well started little while ago, in the end of October. And now it's 9th of November and there's all the Christmas trees and all the decorations. It's way too early for Christmas! In my opinion they start Christmas way too yearly, they should wait at least nearly to the end of November. When you enter a shop, you really feel like you have skipped one month

This week has been quite full and busy. On Monday I was at my friend and I cut her hair. I'm not hairdresser or anything like that (at least not yet). I just love to cut hairs. I even cut my own hair, it doesn't always look so perfect cause it's difficult to cut your hair yourself from the back, but it's never been so horrible that I would been shamed to go outside :)

And on the next day, on Tuesday I met 2 of my friends. One was my class mate, we tried to go to library, but we really didn't end up there. And after while I went to Helsinki to see one other friend. We went for a coffee and we were just talking about everything for few hours. But then I had to go home, cause it started to be little late... and on that evening I tried to go bed early, but it little failed :> And I noticed it in a morning, I overslept, but not too bad, just about 20 mins, and I still had time to get ready for school ://

But today I really did spend over 2 hours in library with books and I actually read 16 page of one. That's a lot for me, I never read books : D But I'm so stressed of this final project and I even felt like I could stop school now (which would't be smart at all) but anyway, my friend helped me and I was happy again and I did something done, a plan about what I'm gonna write :)

 

Piercing jewlry

Tänää mie aattelin postata suomeks, varmaa saatan laittaa loppuu saman tekstin pätkän enkuksi. Mut on kiva välil kirjottaa jotai suomeks, eikä vaa englanniks (:

Tänää on ollu tosi turhan olonen päivä, ei mitää tekemistä ja ei voinu lähtiäkkä mihkä shoppailee tai mitää tollast, ko kaik paikat on kiinni.
 Mut sentää nettikaupat on ollu tänäänkin auki ;) Päädyin kahtelee lävistys koruja ja oisin niin halunnu tilailla vaikka mitä kivoja koruja tono napaa killumaa, mut onnistuin olla tilaamatta mitään! Oon ylpeä ittestäni : D Kerranki ko oon päättäny etten osta mitää, pidin miun lupauksen. Mut ehkä Joulun jälkee vois jotai pientä tilailla, jos sattuis tulee jotai kivoi alennuksia ja tarjouksia, joist ei si vaa voi välttyy.

tällästä kivaa tuli bongailtua ;

Today I feel like my day has been totally wasted. I've got nothing to do entire day and I haven't been able to go anywhere, cause all the places are closed today, so no shopping or anything like that. It's some kind of holiday today.  But luckily online shopping is always an option ;) I end up to look belly button jewels and I would wanted to order so much everything for my belly button, but I didn't order anything! I'm so proud of myself : D At least once when I have decided to save money, I succeed. But maybe I could make an order after the Christmas, if there's some offers which I can't pass by ;)

A Package from Switzerland

Some days ago I got a note from the post office that I have got a bigger package than our mailbox, so I needed to go pick it up from the office.  I wasn't able to walk well, so mom went there and brought it home for me.
  I ordered one kind of coffee from Switzerland, which my friend brought for me when she was here. Well I still wasn't able to have exact same coffee, cause they were stopped producing the coffee. But my friend picked up some other good coffee ( I have to test it soon) Also she was included a letter, so I got something to read too :)
 When mom came home with the package I knew immediately it was that package which I have been waiting  for little while :)  My friend was also received my present for her because she sent the coffee. And she was really happy about that

Ricetta di panna cotta

Yesterday evening I made panna cotta and let it congeal over the night. The recipe said it should be in fridge about 5 hours. And now little while I ago I came home from school and decided to taste my panna cotta.
At least the color was good this time, not green like last time I tried panna cotta. And I didn't use the same recipe, I mixed up two different recipe which I found on internet.
Also I decided to make a red dressing for it. Strawberries or raspberries... I found strawberries (from freezer)
I really don't know what I did. I just melted them and added some kind of jelly sugar cause I didn't find any gelatin powder or anything like that. I didn't have much strawberries so I added little strawberry liquor to make little more dressing. and it was done : D I actually liked that dressing :)

Ricetta di panna cotta

100g of powdered sugar 

5dl of cream

3tsp of vanilla sugar / 1 vanilla

3 gelatin sheets 

Fill a small bowl with cold water and let the gelatin sheets be there around 5mins. And now measure all the ingredients to a kettle and heat them, but do not boil. After the 5 mins take the gelatin sheets and squeeze over left water and add to the kettle. Mix well and pour panna cotta to 6 small or 3 big dish. 

Let congeal in fridge 5-7 hours

And if you want you can make a dressing for panna cotta using different berries or fruits you like :) 

Little stress

Yesterday I started stressing a lot. Our teacher at school told us about our final project. I have been stressing a little about it past 2 years and now it's time to start working on it.
I know the subject already, and it's Italian food culture, of course it's something about Italy ;) But I haven't quite understood everything I should do, but I'm happy there's a lot of time to work on it. In January I have had done 10 to 15 pages of it.
Also I hope I'm gonna have an inspiration of writing latest when I'm in Italy. Well that was one of the reasons why we booked a flight there, to go to write our final project there with friends. Awesome idea, write about where you are ;) Of course while studying and working on that project we need a little time out, so meeting friends and having fun is also great (:

I made some plans for next week :) I'm going for a coffee with my Italian friend who lives here, in Helsinki. He's helping me with my Italian and I'll try my best to help him with Finnish.
Actually I'm waiting that meeting pretty much (:

Cold toes are forbidden

Allora, today my post is something ugly :) Here in Finland, there's one design of some kind of shoes... actually they're meant for old people, but some young people has them too :) Also they're ugly, but really comfortable and actually keeps your feet warm (:

Reino shoes ( I call them töppöset in finnish :)

  

Mom bought me these because of my foot. I don't have any other shoes which would fit on my foot, so I'm  gonna walk around the Finland with these shoes about 4 weeks =) so people, please, do not stare my shoes when I'm around! : D 

I got a nice present (for no reason). It's from Ikea... Different colors of slippers! 4 pairs of them, they looks so soft and warm *-* red, grey and 2 pairs of white slippers :) Now my feet won't be frozen ever again! 

And if I get bored with one color, just a fast change to other color after that I can keep warming my toes :) One pair with these slippers will travel to Italy with me in a month :) 

Cute Cupcakes

I'm gonna post this 'little' late. I made these cupcakes little while ago, but never got posted them here. And I wanna do it now, cause they looked good and even was delicious :)

My friend visited here from Switzerland couple months ago and brought me a lot of stuff from there. And one of souvenir was there cupcake forms. It took while to test them, but finally i did it :)

Cupcakes are all chocolate. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, Nami ;) And on the top i sprinkle some white pearls. It looked really nice with red forms with white spots.

Not the day I planned...

This morning started well, I wasn't tired and actually I was pretty happy to go to school to see all my friends :) But when I enter a restaurant (where I'm on my training period) everything changed. 

I had to set the tales for 24 people who came to have lunch for the restaurant. We fixed it 4 times, cause always something wasn't good. Like knives wasn't one line and napkin was too close to chair and everything like that. In the end the teacher who was mocking all the time, accepted the tables and we started to pour water for glasses, customers was nearly there. And when they arrived, they told us that they don't wanna go to that room where we were set the tables, and we couldn't say no. We did that for nothing, and had to take them off. 

 The next task we got was that we had to plan drink list for Friday, there will be 200 people in the restaurant and we have made up some drinks for them, and they get to taste them. It took while to get it done, well we did it halfway first, the easiest part. And after that we did the more difficult part. And we finally got it done! We showed it to my teacher, and then she told that we have to do it again, cause we're gonna change the drinks. And she couldn't tell it when she told us to do that list. 

Now the school ended and I was happy to get home :) I slept for little while there and I rushed to bus to go to my greek lesson. Which I skipped in the end, I sent some stuff to my friend and went to library for little while.  From there I left to the bus which took me home, but when I was on my way to the bus, I hurt my ankle :/ I was walking home and I noticed my keys aren't in my handbag.. they were at home and of course my luck today, no one wasn't at home. I was sitting outside of the door for 30mins! After that mom saved me and came home.

 In the evening my sister pick me up and took me to a doctor... I really hope tomorrow will be way better day :) 

Just wanted to add this picture, cause I think it's really cute :3

No more shopping!

Today at school day went pretty fast, I had to be there just 4 hours and I really didn't do much. But after school I went to Helsinki. In same train was two of my friends, so I got little company for the way there :)
 In Helsinki I had to wait my mom to come there little bit over an hour, so I went to café to wait. When my mom arrived we went to Sokos and Stockmann. We spent way too much money, even we didn't buy much.

From Stockmann, we bought couple pieces for NominatioN bracelet. I got my chinese zodiac sign, Scimmia, monkey :)

Also my friend told me where I can buy these NominatioN pieces from Rome when I go there. Last time when I was there and tried to look for these, I didn't find them anywhere, everyone said they don't sell them. Same was in Florence. Well I was lucky there, I found one place where I was able to buy them, but the selection wasn't large. There was just few different.

These stuff came home with me; 

Neobio's organic lip balm. I really love the smell and the feeling what it gives your lips. It makes your lips so soft & kissable ;) 

Rimmel Match perfection face powder. It seems pretty good, at least if I compare it for the price. It was just little bit over 7€. 

All the stuff I bought today

And now I'm gonna be on shopping strike! I've spent way too much money lately. I gotta save money a bit, well try to survive with no money these last days of October and entire november! o.o

Cocktail Party

My friend has planned a cocktail party for several last week and now the party is finally here, well tomorrow it will be here :) This is great, cause something good happened to me because of this. I sold one bottle of white rum and one tequila bottle to her, so even I earned a bit ;)

 And tomorrow I'm able to dress up and look awesome : D There's all the dress codes and everything, they're trying to be elegant. 

  Some weeks ago I was at my other friend and there came some people and we were trying all kind of drinks and shots for this party. And we did find some good ones which my friend wants to serve in this party :) 

Kiss on the beach. This drink is one of my fave, it's not on the cocktail list in the party, but  it's really delicious ;)

You can find the recipe from here 

Also tomorrow morning I'm going to visit in one baking shop which is here in Espoo. Confetti, the shop is full of everything cute stuff. Cookie cutters, colors with you can color doughs, creams etc. I'm going to buy those colors from there. After that I can try corset cookies! I really can't wait that, even I know they will fail at first time, but just try to practice the technic :) 

Handicrafts

Some days ago I got pretty bored and I hadn't nothing to do so, I tried to little bit everything. And then I was looking for my nail polish boxes. I found them, I have two of them, and one is decorated and then I knew what I'm gonna do next, I decorated the other one too. I took some magazines and started to look for pictures I probably could use.
 The box is bought from Ikea. It's meant for cd covers, but It was perfect for this use too. It's just build up and then I took some glue and I started to make some handicrafts! (:

Here's the box in the end. White one turned to pretty nice one. I really like it myself, especially the high heel picture ;) It's not too full of anything and it's pretty simple. 

Here's on the left side is the cover of the old, first box I decorated some years ago

Back to Italy!

 I'm leaving to Italy for Christmas and for the New Year's eve with some of my friends, we booked flight about a month ago, and also we booked a room from a hostel, Ostello Palazzo Pierantoni. 

Some weeks ago we talked about this coming trip with my friend at school, and suddenly we got more people to go with us. 

There will be 4 of us now. So we got 2 people more. And now the duple room is way too small for all of us. And we knew there's one apartment in that hostel, cause I lived there with some people for 2 months last spring. So we sent an e-mail to hostel and asked would we be able to rent it. And this afternoon we've got a reply, and we can rent the apartment for 3 weeks! :)

We visited in one restaurant there, and all the walls were covered tiny pieces of papers where were written or drew something. Greetings or just anything what people has wanted to write. And in the end, before you left from the restaurant, they gave us tape  and you were able to tape your own piece of paper on the wall (:
