Hello folks! 

I truly notice that the spring is finally here...! Especially by the way I'm buying stuff! (ofc I'm always surfing on the internet clothing stores in the winter too...) It's probably because the weather is getting warmer and the increase of sunshine. Atm I'm reading for the university passing exams. I have it on 7.5. (as 7th of May). And I'm totally stressed off! I also have to work and keep up my social life.  (;__;)  I'm truly happy when this spring is over.

BUT I have bought these items from eBay this month:

 I haven't yet got the shorts or the jeans, because our post office is stupid and they had gotten the order number wrong and when i went to get the package (of the jeans ) they couldn't find it even though i had got the announcement that the package is there to be fetched. So i had to do some research and now I have the real number. And this is not the first time this same post office has screwed something up! BIG TIME!

I love the shirt! It's gonna be hit in the summer time! And I've tried out the eyebrow mascara, and it works fine and is easy to use. Later on I'm gonna tell you more about it, after i've tried it out a bit more! PS. all the bottoms i bought i took the size L (Large), because i have big hips...... -___-' it's my curse.

I've been thinking of getting a wig. And my friend told me about this Storenvy.
there was this really amazing wig! *---*

I mean... that is just gorgeous!! what do you think? 
it's not even that expensive! US 27.65 ~ EUR 21.   WE WANTS ITTT!!!! PRECIOUSSS!!! 
( i tried to imitate Gollum from the Lord of the Rings / Hobbit). 

Maybe i just should buy it..? I'm just not quite sure about the bangs. I mean I'm not sure if they fit my face. It's been ages since i had bangs that big... the only downside is, that it's synthetic hair and low heat. :(


but now i must continue working! And get some tea!

Thank you for reading!!

[ Mentally busy days ]

I know I've been a bad girl, since the last post was made months ago... and I know that some readers have left due to that. So I must apologize!! i'm sincerely sorry, but I've been very busy lately. Not maybe physically, but mentally. My mind has been all over the place and very occupied so I haven't had time to think about my blog. I'm sorry!

I just applied to Helsinki's university. and guess what? if i get in, I'm going to study of becoming an elementary school teacher. It's not my dream job, but since i haven't studied since high school i thought it's already time to move on with my life and do something. I have a job so i've been working and collecting money, but it still feels like i'm just hanging loose. So i've been very stressed up lately.... I cannot consider myself truly happy or satisfied with my life, so that's why i want to do something about it. Even though it kinda freaks me out a bit... wish i could just be a child again! no worries at all and just playing around. lol.

but now to some bit happier news! I'm going to Amsterdam with my mom! it's been her dream since ages and now she can finally fulfill it. We're going to be there from 13.4. to 16.4. and then travel by train to Germany, Frankfurt to see my aunt & cousin.

Amsterdam in Netherlands. So beautiful.....!

i know there is the 'red lantern' part of the town, which i really wanna visit!
PS. not green lantern this time. lol

I red that the Amsterdam's canals are 400 years old this year. That's
pretty amazing! 

Have you ever visited Amsterdam? And if you haven't would you like to? 

I've started watching Game of Thrones with my friend. and first i was kinda confused about the amount of names and characters and i needed my friend to explain who was who, but now after watching the first season (and bits of the second) i'm more or less aware of the characters names. it's hard though. I have such a bad name memory. haha. And i love Sean Bean! or Mr. Bean as i call him. And also her daughter, Arya, is just so good character. She reminds me a bit of Pikku Myy or Lilla Myy from the Moomin's.

                                                                       

And dear god i hate Joffrey!!!!!!!! He just... dkjlfhdkjfhkjdfh. makes me so mad. I thought the governor in the Walking Dead was too much of smug to handle, but no he's nothing compared to Joffrey. But I can say that he's a well made character and the actor is also very good, 'cos he really annoys me!

Have you watched Game of Thrones? And who is your favorite character?

Alright enough of this... i'll just post some pics from my outfits now! tadaahh~

I dyed my hair with this ''gray'' semi permanent
color and it turned my hair purple. :))

BUT in some light it actually looks gray.
depends on the lightning. 

But i still wasn't happy so i kept looking
for the perfect color.... 

Hairstache! I bought that denim shirt form
Estonia. it was on sale. and i love sales.

the hat is actually form my brother.
I can't wait to get to use it in Spring/Summer.

Hairstache vol. 2 ! 

the lace jacket is from asos.com!
it's by thirtyfour disciples. 

it was also on sale and costed about 40e. 

a big messy bun! with my dark roots showing...
don't worry i already have an appointment to
a hair saloon. 

Jacket: asos. com RIVER ISLAND. ~80e.
Shirt: Tokyo, Harajuku. 

I choose not to use any photoshop, 'cos
i don't like the fashion magazines using it either.
but covering your face is sometimes OK! lol
PS. Shoes: Zalando.fi, Even&Odd ~from sale 40e.

And i got these from my brother! he was in Osaka for about 10 days.

the latest Men's egg! I asked for some women's magazines, but he claimed
that he couldn't find any. He was just too embarrassed to buy any. haha.

But i was really happy about this too! :)  I have a great brother!

i think he is kinda cute.... don't know his name though.

urban style~ 

Don't you think that he looks a bit like Oguri Shun?
or is it just me? 

 Here is for comparison: 

                                                                       (SOURCE)

Oh and last but not least, he bought me Moomin toothpaste. it tastes like grape
and it's awful... XDDD but super cute!

Now I'm offfff~ going to make some lunch. :))

thank you for reading and i hope you liked it! Comment and ask anything you want!

[Volume to your hair - with minimal effort]

Okay, so this post is about getting your hair airy and fluffy - with minimal effort of course!
The result depends on the quality of your hair: is your hair naturally curly or extremely hard to curl even with irons and stuff. I know my hair is naturally quite curly and you can test it by making a small braid and keeping it ~20mins and if your hair is already curled after opening the braid then you have a easily curving hair. it's sometimes a pain in the ass, 'cos a little humid outside can ruin a straight hair in 5 minutes. mine is like that...

but okay so what you need to do this is:

- a good comb. or a brush or what ever you prefer.

- some pretty strong and lifting styling mousse

- okay this is additional, but i try to keep my hair also in a good shape so some moisture spray if you want to follow my exact foot steps.

- salt water spray. for example the L'ORÉAL Paris' Matt and Messy, shine free salt water spray. It actually works and it makes the hair less silky and a bit sticky.

- some strong hairspray.

- and something to tie your hair up on a bun.

ALRIGHT! so these are the products I'm using:

First of all you need to do this in the evening!!

*But after showering and drying your hair naturally so long that it's not dripping water anymore, put a fair amount of Styling Mousse on your palm. gradually apply it all over your hair, especially in the root. IF you have less-curly hair apply it all over. even to the tips.

*Then apply the Moisture Spray all over your hair but especially in the tips now. That Shwarzkopf''s Moisture Kick spray that i use also helps with electrical and dry hair. it doesn't say so in the bottle but usually the electrical effect is due to air and hair dryness. and in Finland in winter time the air is extremely dry... and also blow drying makes your hair a bit electrically charged.

*Now blow dry your hair with your head upside down.

* After this spray the Salt Spray all over your hair. It makes it a bit sticky and less silky so it's easier to handle.

*Now you need to backcomb your hair all over. It's easier after using the salt spray. TIPS! start from the bottom and work your way up. Spray Hairspray to the root and then backcomb it up. it doesn't have to look  nice at this point. this is just preparations. After backcombing your hair all over  apply hairspray again.

* After this put your hair on a bun on the top of your head and go to sleep. the bigger the bun the bigger waves you'll get. If you make the bun while your hair is still wet it'll be more curly. I can't quite do this 'cos it's almost too curly for my hair.  Here's a picture of my morning face and hair with a messy bun:

It doesn't look appealing... nor sexy. but it works. okay so here's the AFTER shot:

Note: all i did was open the bun and let my hair fall down. you can spray hairspray again and backcomb it a bit to make sure it lasts. but this is my hair in the mornings when i don't have time to use hair straightener.

And now some bit more representative pictures. I bought some new clothes from NastyGal.com. A black see-trough blouse with studded crosses on chest, one spiky necklace and one ripped, cream colored sweater. I had to declare it and it costed 20 euros.... but the clothes were totally worth it!

shirt: Reverse, ~30€ from Nastygal.com

i must apologize for the pictures' BAD quality... 

We had a ''eating-drinking-party'' at Myrre's place.

Myrre making some Pokémon cookies.!!!

there was so much food that i almost rolled my way to home. 

Going to work and saying good bye to Nemo. 

My Mom gave me this as a christmas present.
It's OnePiece of Norway. I love it! SOOO WARM.

Oh and i cut myself half-bangs! 

The zipper goes all the way up. 

Sir. Toki. with a scarf. 

the new ripped sweater/knitwear from Nastygal.com

Costa Blanca, 30€. Nastygal. com

and now some random pics:

we made a gingerbread house with my cousin, she's 9-years old.
it was my idea and she got to decorate the roof. i did the rest.
you can also spot Pikku Myy and Muumimamma.
Muumipeikko was on the other side of the house. 

My brother moved to Helsinki, so
i made him a clock, because he's always late. ....
it came out pretty cool, actually! 

we were getting some stuff for my brother from ikea, so i bought
one beautiful mirror at the same time. I don't have a place for it yet, but
when i have my own apartment it will find it's place. 

and finally we were having some cheese fondue with my Mom. and some
grapes. YUMMY!!! i bought that fondue for her as christmas present. :)

Okayyyy Guys that's it for now!! i hope i didn't make too many typos, but if i did, I'm sorry! heh.

See you soon!
