After we booked our flights to Edinburgh Kea, the awesome travel planner that she is, suggested we should book some guided tours and see more of Scotland than just the capital. I was eager to visit a new country so I was open to all suggestions. After the tours were booked I didn’t give it more […]

Spring might not want to come to Helsinki just yet but I’ve already gotten started with spring cleaning. Last week I went through all my clothes, putting aside all the pieces that simply don’t work for me anymore and man was I brutal! This wardrobe edition of the hunger games left me with little workwear […]

Sometimes I’m not a very good big sister. On my middle brother’s birthday I called him, congratulated him and told I hadn’t been able to find a birthday present for him. I told him “if you possibly need a scarf, I can crochet you one”. He’s a quit easy going guy so he was like […]

Scotland is one of those places that has been on my travel list but usually at the lower end behind countries like Japan, Egypt and South Africa.

Christmas is around the corner but I’m already thinking about next year’s Flow festival. How’s that for getting ahead of oneself?! The first world dilemma at hand is whether to get the early bird ticket or not. I mean no artists have been announced yet, not that it’s stopped me before. That got me thinking that I never […]

Now that they’re all gone I don’t want to think about winter quit yet. Instead I’m looking for colour and light wherever I can find it. Today I found it in […]

Juthbacka market is one of the biggest flea markets in Finland, if not the biggest. It’s a two day event that gathers people from all over the country. The first time I attended was probably ten years ago, I remember it raining so much we had difficulty getting the car out of the mud. For a number of […]

I’ve always been fascinated with queens. Women in history who’ve been in power at times when women didn’t have many rights. So every time there’s a bio pic about female royals, I have to watch it. The Young Victoria has been favourite of mine since it came out and I’ve seen it quit many times now. The movie chronicles […]
