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!

T-shirts

Went into Ark in Cambridge yesterday not thinking I'd buy anything. I always go in there and most of the time I end up getting nothing, as the fit of the stuff is usually a bit dodgy on me. However, this time I spotted these two t-shirts. I've been wanting a cropped neon tie-dye t-shirt for ages now, and finally I found the perfect one! The Live Fast tee wasn't a planned purchase, I just saw it in the sale racks and thought it looked really cool. Can't wait for it to be t-shirt weather. I love t-shirts.
I also splurged on some cosmetics at boots, mac and lush. Post about that next week.

I'm off running now, have a lovely Sunday or whatever day it is when you read this!

a look inside my sketchbook

A little look inside my sketchbook. No super exciting works, as these are only doodles I make whenever I'm bored and not usually planned. Whenever I create, I don't tend to have a plan on what the artwork is going to be. I guess I just let my mind wander and usually something pretty random comes out of it.

My favorite medium, as you probably can see is just ink on paper. However, when I feel like it I also do acrylic paintings. That rarely happens though, as I don't always have canvases laying around to paint on. pen and paper is just so much less effort, yet equally pleasing to the eye in my opinion.

I don't have a lot of finished works. This is because I have a hard time working on a piece for a long time. I'm one of the people who enjoy the process of creation more than the actual finished piece, so therefore I tend to start a new sketch before I've even finished the old one...

On a random note, I just dyed my hair dark brown, a few pictures below.

I'll forgive and forget, before I'm paralyzed

A quick view of my room, which I usually spend my lazy Sundays in. Somehow, I've managed to keep it sort of tidy throughout the weekend. I've got no plans for today, which usually means I'll stay in and play the guitar, write stuff and maybe even do some revision. I really should learn my lines for drama and I probably will during the day, as it's the only school subject I enjoy at the moment. Everything else is just boring, ah well. 
Enjoy the pictures, you'll probably never see a massive amount like this again over here (:

ps. sanni oot paras, soitan sulle nyt skypessä

happy is a state of mind.

I have now got my computer back, but I've kind of forgotten how to do this.. blogging I mean. So I just thought I'd do the 7 random facts about me tag that's been going around almost every social media site, including blogspot. Maybe you'll learn something new about me. Even you, daddy. Yes, I know you're reading this ;)

1. I have one nightmare that keeps re-occurring every now and then.
It's very simple. No monsters, catastrophes or anything like that at all. It's just me in an empty space falling and very slowly catching speed. Right before I hit the ground I wake up and slam hard on my bed. Maybe I levitate whilst asleep?

2. I like the smell of thrift stores, basements, old buildings etc. 
I don't know why, but there's something to that old smell that I like. I'm weird. 

3. I like to consider myself an artist
I've done art since I was around 2 years old. It's been an escape route to expressing emotions since as far as I can remember. I also do music. I play the guitar, sing and write songs. I enjoy writing poetry, short stories and sometimes longer stories that turn into novels.

4. I write to the desk drawer
As much as I love writing stories and novels, I've never showed more than two people my work. Therefore it is all stored in a folder on my computer called "desk drawer", because a regular desk drawer is not confidential enough for me. 

5. I'm a daydreamer
My thoughts just tend to drift away into other dimensions. Sometimes this might happen when you talk to me and you'll have to repeat what you've just said. I'm sorry if I doze off during a long story of yours, don't take it personally! 

6. I love coffee shops
There's just something about the atmosphere of coffee shops that I find very calming. I like to take the bus to Cambridge early in the morning, bring my poetry notebook with me and go sit in a nice, independent coffee shop(or starbucks) just listening to jazzy music that's usually playing on the radio and drinking Chai Tea Latte... I live for mornings like that. Coffee shops are also one of the things me and my friends enjoy to do in the evening. 

7. I can't wait to turn 18
I can finally go to every concert and festival, travel alone, get tattoos etc. stuff I've been wanting to do for ages! Ps. driving a car isn't one of them. I don't like cars. They frighten me.

I don't know if this post was interesting at all for you to read, but I sure hope so! If you want more posts like these(tags n stuff like 'what's in my handbag') just leave a comment. Or would you like more daily diary type posts with lots of pictures? Or maybe outfit of the day posts? I don't know, I'm a bit lost. As I said, I've forgotten how to blog, haha! 

update

So, I just thought I'd update you on my situation. At the moment, I don't obvhave a computer because the lead is broken. This obviously makes it a lot harder for me to update my vlog. Please be patient, I'll come back with a fresh start including a new layout and new post ideas (:

baker street.

Pictures from a pub on Baker Street that me and my family visited before we went to the Sherlock Holmes museum. To be honest, I think the pub was a better place to be than the museum itself(wasn't really impressed by that.. might rant about it in a later post).
As a big fan of vintage and retro stuff, I found the interior design of the pub really nice and cozy. There was kind of like a warm feel to it. Hard to explain. A really nice place to go for a coffee/pint/whatever with friends or family ((---:
