2010

Resolutions? Maybe. Decisions. Yes!
I can't even remember when I've made a New Years resolution...and if I have I don't think I've ever really kept my promise. I visited S this other day and got inspired about her plans for the coming year..

I'm not making a proper resolutions this year either, but I do plan to make few changes in my life. Some small, some big...depends on the way you look at them. Anyway the aim is to make my life more organized, relaxed,healthy and happy. Hopefully much more interesting too!

I'm trying to make the changes as gentle as I can, because I'm a serious quitter if I don't like something, or get bored. I need to fool myself a bit more...just like with the sticker chart.

These are my goals...don't know how to reach them all yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

- Eat healthier foods.
With that said I plan to ban all sweets and stuff like that starting from 1.1.2010 and ending 31.5.2010. I'm not allowed to buy any sweets to myself, or eat pizza or burgers by myself. I am still allowed to go out to eat with friends etc. The difference is that I won't binge eat by myself.

- Trust myself more.
If something feels good to be said or done, I need to do it and not think about what others might think about me.

- Excersise more.
Walk the dogs, ride a bike to work, walk don't drive..as simple as that.

- Get myself a boyfriend.
It's about f**king time.

- Become a better photographer.
Rehearse rehearse and rehearse some more.

- Don't stress about things beforehand so much.
There's a limited amount of things that can be done to anything, beforehand. I need to relax, wait and do things when it's their time. There's no use in hyperventilating before theres nothing you can do.

- Loose 5 kilos.
Might not make me any healthier, but sure will make me feel better about myself, so well worth it.

- Be more organized.
I need to plan my days. It always feels like theres no time for anything. That's not true, I just use my time like an idiot. I need to wake up early, go out with the dogs and not just sit on my arse and stare at the wall. I need to get myself a proper calendar and start using it. Same thing at work, I need to start writing things down in order to remember everything...don't know why that has been so hard to do to this day.

- Be more carefull with money.
No unnecessary things for the dogs. They don't NEED 6 new collars a year each...and neither do I. And don't buy things you don't need in general.

I thinks that's enough for this year. I'll be proud of myself if I get even half of them done! Anyway I'm sure this year will be a good year. So HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
I'll be going through lot's of other blogs hoping to find new years resolutions there, to get myself more inspired!

Merry Christmas everybody...

...and hopefully a better new year 2010! xx

Summer come fast!!

I'm getting my self a bike!! *hearts flying from my eyes*
I have a lot of changes coming up in few months, and those changes make it possible for me to ride a bike to work. And with that said I have a real, proper, and WISE reason to buy a CRUISER! Oh how happy am I!!

I can see myself strolling through Kallio with my shiny, glittery, pretty bike when it's summer and hot, with the sun high in the sky...then me and my friend(s) will have our hoops and music with us, and we can drive our cruisers to the park or the beach...then we can hoop, sunbathe, eat, drink and laugh the whole day and drive back home in the evening...<3 <3



This black and pink one is my favourite at the moment. The flames bother me a bit, but that all can be changed. I like the pink rims, and the handle bar has got lots of attitude! ...I love them all though, so it's going to be a very tricky decision, to decide which one to buy.
Click on the pics, for more info! All the bikes can be ordered from The Chopperdome, Amsterdam. I just can't wait for it to be summer!!

Oh deer!

Meet my new best friend...glitter deer! I love christmas time, 'cause shops are full of things that shine. Sometimes, like yesterday, you can find something worth buying! I thought this silver and gold deer was worth it... Just look how cute it is! Now it stands on my window keeping watch proudly.
And I found it from Anttila...how weird is that! It's made of plastic, and covered with glitter.

Aaaand....before going to hunt my deer, I popped in to this charming retro/vintage store near my flat called Kauppahuone Keko(they don't have a working website, but the addres is at Harjutori, Helsinki). The shop is owned by this lovely 60 year old woman...she adores all her items that she's selling, and can tell you great stories about them. Just go and have a chat with her, even though you don't feel like buying anything, I guarantee you'll love it!

But this is what I found! I love old rustic candle holders. I haven't found anything worth buying for a while, so I jumped for joy when I saw these two! The lovely lady told me that they are from a Finnish family that live in Töölö. A family of culture she says.(awwww)

I find my new candle holders cute and akward. They are so weird that you just can't help but love them...and they are hand made!!


Now I'll always have a wise eagle to guide me through storms! ;)
