Study updates

Beginning of this week I got the confirmation in February for one week I'll be off to Jena, Germany!
I will have my uni classes there in German university, it's pretty neat, but I still don't speak german! I hope soon I will understand how to produce something in german at least something, I am able to understand some written texts, but speaking it much much more complicated for me

What I've heard of Jena, it's a university city and it's second biggest city in it's region. In Jena there are about 110 000 inhabitants which 21 000 are students. 

The university where my classes will be held is called Friedrich- Schiller Universität Jena. 
The information I got now of the city, it does't seem to be that bad place, maybe I could take few extra days to travel and go to see also Berlin, since it is not that far away from Jena.

Rio Facial Steamer

I have always had a skin that there are all the time some pimples and blackheads and now recently I've noticed that it has gotten worse, on my skin there are everywhere small kind of pimples and then there are always those few extremely red spots you can't hide with a normal layer of makeup.

For this reason I purchased a facial Sauna steamer by Rio, it actually arrived today, lovely surprise in the middle of the work day! (I do order all my parcels to my work place, there is always someone to receive the parcel)
And also recently I purchased moisturizer and facial toner which are made of Tea Tree oil. I've heard good feedback of this oil and now I wanted to see if this can help at least somehow together with the facial sauna steamer.

In the box there  are included also small measurement cup which is easy to use to pour the water in the steamer. If you fill up the steamer 50ml it will last approximately for 20 minutes, which will be enough, your face will be nice and red after that time ;)
Also with the steamer there is a inhaler attachment which is helpful if you got any kind of sinus problems, it will help you to breath better. And what I like the most is that there is essential oil vaporiser.

For the price I bought the facial steamer, it is good. Yet I don't know for how long it will last, but for £20 it is a great way of having little relaxing moment in the evenings!

Has any of you used tea tree products and do they work for you?

Spicy Hot Apple Drink

On a cold windy Autumn day it is lovely to have something to sip which warms you up. After the work today I came home and I prepared a lovely cup (my new Moomin cup!) of home made spicy Apple drink.
It is so easy to do and won't waste too much of your time and everything you need is;

3 Apples
Hot water
Grounded cinnamon
and a juicer

You just need to juice three apples and pour the juice into a mug, half cup and add some hot water. This is my lazy way, you can also heat up the apple juice and water on stove. This method is better if you want the drink to be little bit more hot than what you can achieve with boiling the water in kettle, since the juice is cold it's going to cool down also the drink. At last add one tea spoon of cinnamon, mix and drink it!

Weekend in Pohjanmaa

One week goes by too fast, especially when you are having a good time. Last Monday we had a flight to Helsinki- Vantaa airport and tomorrow we're heading back there.
But the week has been filled up with lots of fun and relax. Last Thursday we took a train to Seinäjoki and we've spent here the entire weekend.
It's actually the first time when we see the city of Seinäjoki, last time we came here only for the baptism of Aada, but now we saw lots of other things.

We went to see dogs also we saw a lots of cows and beautiful landscapes. We also climbed 20 meters high sightseeing tower in the middle of nowhere, but you were able to see everything, mostly forest, but it was pretty neat anyway!
And at last we climbed to apple trees to get some apple and now we have lots of apples for the trip back to Helsinki!

The best part was that we were able to play with Aada, change diapers, feed her, bath her and put her to sleep.

Knitted Baby Boots

I went crazy for knitting recently and now I'm looking for every reason to knit something. Yesterday I started a small project to knit a present for my friend who got a baby about a month ago.

I decided to knit baby boots for her son.
These are my very first baby boots I've ever made, I was really struggling at the beginning. After the third trial I finally understood how to do it and how to read all the shortened words on the pattern instruction.

Yes, I needed to google some of them and then I needed to see on Youtube how to do some of the things. I did do proper knitting back in school on fifth grade and we did only a pair of mittens, so I can say all what I learned at school I have already forgotten many years ago.

This baby boots pattern I found on the website love knitting. I liked the website, from there you can find so many free patterns, but also there are patterns that are worth of paying since they are really cheap

Surrey Docks City Farm

The best place when you got nothing to do and definitely make you happy, The city farms of London.

Last Sunday again one more time at the Surrey Docks City Farm. 

We had a lazy Sunday, breakfast at 2pm and after that we headed to the farm so we didn't have that much time to spend there since it closed at 5pm, but at least I got some photos with goats and little piglets and other animals!

The farm is actually really nice place to spend afternoon, you can even buy some food for the animals and feed them. And also they have this little cute farm shop where you can buy the products they are producing in the farm, several kind of eggs and vegetables and also if you like you can buy seeds from the shop and start growing pumpkins and cucumbers by yourself

Beatrix Potter 150 Years

Year 2016 is the anniversary of Beatrix Potter. Even I liked the tails when I was a child I have forgotten them, but couple days ago I faced Peter Rabbit on the back of my 50 pence coin and I started to google Peter Rabbit.

I found out that they released these special edition coins last Easter in the Lake District where Beatrix has spent her holidays and now there is a chance to find these extremely cute coins in the change! 

There are several different coins of the characters of Beatrix Potter, you just need to be really lucky to catch them in your pocket and soon they are releasing one more new coin for the collection. 

So shall the hunt begin for these special edition coins! 

Throwback to Italian Holiday

Two weeks on holiday time pass so fast, but the same time at work goes so slowly. But the time in Italy was amazing, first few days on the sea in Riccione and then back in Peschiera del Garda for few days.

Also we did go around Garda lake, some places I still haven't seen and then those places I wanna see every time when we are there. 

Deers & Nature in Richmond Park

Now after all the uni exams and few weeks holiday, I have finally found some time and will to post again here.

About one month ago I did go to Richmond park with my boyfriend. I was expecting a small park with some animals. I heard there were deers before, but I never thought the park would be so huge and in my opinion it wasn't quite like a park, but very lovely place!

We were lucky it was a hot and sunny day, even there were some dark clouds approaching we didn't get wet, except of the walking. During the day we walked more than 20 km!
