Do I wanna know?

Sanni came to Turku for a couple of hours before she continued on her car journey towards a town nearby. We went to grab some coffee at Robert's, and ended up sitting there for about 3 hours. I swear I could live in coffee shops (and on coffee, tea and filled croissants with brie cheese). Some random updates: I've bought too many dresses lately, but I seem to be in a really girly mood. I'm addicted to tiny tower, I have 21 floors at the moment. Excited about our trip to England in a bit over a month, go follow Minni's blog to get posts from both of us. I bet there'll be a lot of travel-posts coming up.

I guess that's all this time, I didn't really have much to say as nothings really going on. I bought World of Warcraft gametime and I'm participating in this months Nanowrimo. I've written around 5000 words, so I'm pretty much on target to finish on time. I just hope my inspired mood will last long enough to actually finish a book. Anyway, I'm feeling good about this. 

I'm addicted to Arctic Monkeys new album AM. It's amazing. Go listen to it. NOW. 

Until next time, happy start of the month!

I returned from my exchange a couple of weeks back. I can't recall announcing that here, so consider this the official announcement. Being back is a weird thing. In a way, I'm happy to see everyone and going out in my home city. Another part of me misses England and the friends I have made over the year. I repeat, it's a weird thing. You can't fully understand it unless you've been there yourself.

Anyway, the past week or so I've had a lot of time to spend on my own. I felt like I needed a bit of a break from my very hectic homecoming-life. This break is kinda the reason why I don't have any proper material to show you. Instead of making one of those classic blogposts about my life, I thought I'd make a collage of things I'd really like to own at the moment. I just realized that all of these are more or less Fall/Winter items... Whoopsie... ah well

On a side-note: It's way too hot here in Finland! About +35 degrees or so at daytime. I feel like I'm melting, even if it's past midnight! also, my arms and legs are itchy from mosquito bites.. darn you mosquitos! 

12mm

A bit of an ear update I suppose. So, I got well excited when after around a week of waiting my crazy factory order arrived. For everyone who don't already know, crazy factory is a Germany-based piercing and stretcher shop. Their stuff is all very affordable and I've only had good experiences with them. Oh yeah, I'm not in anyway promoting them, wish I was, simply stating the truth.

So I went from having a 8-10mm to my final size, a 12mm. So excited to change into the tunnel once it's healed!

shock me like an electric eel.

So I've been back from Gdansk quite a while already, and I will be posting pictures from that trip soon. Right now I'm trying to decide what to wear for Ruisrock. I always find it hard to try and be convenient and comfy yet looking good at the same time. And the fact that it's going to be over 35 degrees C doesn't really help a lot...

A couple of days ago me and Minni had a little picnic at Turku Castle. It was lots of fun. I really needed to relax after work, and it felt nice to do something summery for once. There were tourists looking at us with weird face-expressions, too...

slam them in a doorway, put my face into the ground.

No more chocolate. No more coffee. Two of the things I enjoy in life. Sounds like a small deal but it's actually a pretty big one, since I can hardly function without my morning coffee. Oh well. I'll have to start drinking more water and eating more fruits... Why all this? Because my skin-condition is TERRIBLE.

It's been this way since the start of high school. I've heard it's in my genes, that everyone in my family has or still do suffer from bad skin, and with bad skin I mean acne-prone skin. I don't have the worst condition, but definitely not the best one either. My self-esteem is very low because of this. I never feel pretty. I never feel like makeup looks good on my face, or feel like my face looks good at all. People with smooth skin won't understand this, because they don't have to go through this. It really affects the way I feel about myself.

I find myself in the middle of a battle striving to become perfect. I wasn't really too self-conscious before I noticed my skin going worse and worse day by day. I just want this all to stop. I can't look in the mirror and smile anymore, or be natural around cameras. I'm sick of photoshopping and blurring all my pictures. I just want to be pretty and smooth-skinned like everyone else.

Sorry, had to get this of my chest. Thank you for reading, if you did.

About next weekend

So, this is not the "final update post". I'll post either on sunday or monday, depending on when I have all the material I need for it done.

Recently I've been looking through weheartit and got lots of inspiration for photographing. I've waited for the summer light to come, and now it's here. It's light up to 8PM. I got my good friend Aya as my model, and we're going to take some a bit bohemian pictures in the Martti area. It'll be fun, and I'll post the best pictures here and on my deviantart!!

Also, I've been looking through NYX online makeup store, and I would really like to order some products..

at least 2 lipsticks(4$ each), eyelashes(4,5$) and maybe something else... I'm a bit excited!!
Also, I'm ordering my first cocolulu jeans.. finally!! It's going to be a great weekend ♥
