Hey babes!

Happy Friday ♥

I hope you're all doing well today - I sure am, as yesterday with boys was so much fun! Soon I'm going to the extra shift at work (yeah, call me crazy, I switched my Friday off with hockey for four hours of working. I know, insane.) but after that, it's weekend. My friend J and her boyfriend E are coming to visit us tomorrow, which is so fun as I haven't seen either for a year or so! Can't wait to see them.

But today, I just thought I'd share a quick little nail art post with you, as I haven't done so in so many days (well, in like 7 days, but anyway). I hope you'll like them!



First up is a French mani with a little twist to it. It has black tips instead of white, and on the ring finger there's a cross. That day I was in the mood for simple manicure, and that's what I did.



The polishes I used were Essie Muchi Muchi, and Essie Licorice.



Sorry for the weird zoom in the pics, I really need to invest on a better lens for macro shots.





The other one, well, it's very different. Neon colors felt like the thing that day, so I created a color block mani with tape, where I used these delicious shades.



The polishes here are all by China Glaze. The shades were Flip Flop Fantasy, I'm Not Lion, and Aquadelic. I love them all a lot!



I consider this the first proper Summer manicure for this year, those colors were such a mood booster ;)



And, if someone ever wonders, yes, I always do both hands!

So, what do you guys think? Yay or nay? And, which on is your favorite? ♥

I'm off to work now, but I'll be back in action on Sunday!

Have a lovely weekend!

Blog ya later,

Hi lovelies!

Happy Thursday ♥

Today is a national holiday in Finland, which means no school, no work, no mandatory things to do - and that's kinda awesome. We're going to Pori to fix my fiance's bike with his dad, and to go out eating with a friend or two. Sadly, it's been predicted to rain the whole day, but let's hope people have been wrong about that!

But what I really wanted to share with you today, is an outfit I had on the day I got my hair done. Even though my hair stylist knows my taste pretty well, I always think it's good to dress the part, so the professional can see what my style is like nowadays. And here's what I had on for the occasion:















PU Shorts: Seppälä Tights: H&M Biker Boots: Ebay Blazer: H&M Spiked Shoulder Pads: Boohoo Top: too old so that I could remember, lol Necklace: Gina Tricot Skull Bracelet: Gina Tricot Pearl Bracelets: Seppälä Triangle Rings: Nelly.com Rose Ring: SpiritStore

So there, edgy and girly, wrapped into one. I really personally liked combining all these items, but I do get if there's too much for some. I guess I could do a better job simplifying my looks, but oh well. We only live once, let's have fun. I'm sorry you have to see so much of the biker boots, I am a bit obsessed about them. Luckily the weather is getting warmer so they start to bee a bit too much!

But what do you think about this look? Is there an item you've been obsessed about lately? Share your thoughts! ♥

I'm off to bed now, or, well off to a cup of decaf tea and an episode or two of Desperate Housewives. Gotta get my relaxation. ;)

Hope you'll have a fun day!

Blog ya later,

Hiya Lovelies!

Happy Tuesday ♥

It's the second day of my detox week, and I'm starting to feel the results. I haven't done my work out at all this week - yet - but I'm planning to start tonight after work. Today, however, I'm feeling the fluids moving inside, which isn't too comfortable, but necessary for this week to work. If everything goes well, this will more or less become a lifestyle. But more on that next week. ;)

Today our mailman brought me something fun again. My May LivBox!

Finnish readers, if you haven't opened yours, don't spoil the surprise by scrolling down ♥ Ja sama suomeksi, jos et vielä ole avannut tämän kuun LivBoxiasi, välty spoilaantumiselta ja sulje tämä blogi selaimestasi nyt! ♥



I was happily surprised by the bright red color of the bow on the front, it made me instantly feel like there would be nice girly things inside.



The name in the product menu, Roman Holiday, supported my theory of nice girly things. Exciting!





And after reading the menu through, I couldn't wait to rip the whole thing open.



Looking good, huh?



Not a bad box at all... Let's take a proper look to the products.



Eylure Individual Lashes

A brand I've actually used before, I totally like their lashes, and was just the other day thinking about getting new individual lashes, so this couldn't have been better! I'll be definitely using these later in the parties and such.



Papier Poudré Paper Powder

I remember how my mom had these when I was a little girl, and I remember how it was so fancy to get to use them sometimes even though I didn't wear almost any makeup back then. Absolutely a great product for travel, when you need to patch up your makeup from time to time. So excited for this one too.



Lash Card

Seriously? They make stuff like this? I'm excited to try this, but there's also another trick to prevent clumping,. So, if you use affordable brands, just like me, I don't think this is a very needed product, but for those who use Dior or other more pricey brands, this is a great deal - I guess.



Académie Crème Veloutée Hydrating Treatment (+ 10eur gift card)

Yet another fun moisturizer (seriously, thanks to LivBox I don't need to buy the big ones as I get new moisturizer every month ;)). This one smells good, is easy to apply, and absorbs well to the skin. This sure is a great addition to my moisturizers.



Lavera Basis Sensitiv Hand Cream

Deliciously scented moisturizing cream for hands. It includes chamomile, shea butter, and other goods for your skin. This little baby goes straight to my handbag, as my job makes my hands dry up totally and completely. This might just be the savior. It absorbs well and moisturizes the skin instantly.

And, last but certainly not the least:



Ciaté Mini Paint Pot ♥

A fabulous little Ciaté bottle that I couldn't even find first (it had dug its way to the bottom of the box, under the black shreds) but when I did, I literally yelled with joy. I got a fantastic little shade called Heirloom (nr. 116) and have already an idea how to use that in a manicure. Heirloom is a neat glitter polish, that has very fine glitter in it, and it has a beautiful duochrome effect to it. I'm sure this will get a lot of use, especially when the autumn arrives - but probably already sooner.

So, what do you guys think about the products? Are these new to you, or have you tried them out before? ♥

And to my Finnish readers: Joko sinä olet avannut oman LivBoxisi? Mitä boxistasi löytyi, ja mitä pidit tuotteista? :)

I gotta go now to prepare a dinner before going to work, but I'll be back soon! ;)

Have a beautiful day!

Heya babes!

I hope you're all having a fun Monday ♥

I'm finally off from school, and can focus on my own things for a change. That's amazing, and I like it a lot. And the first thing I wanted to do is to have a sort of detox week - to get the stress-based filth away from my body, along with a little liquid weight. I'll make a post about it next week, telling how it worked for me.

Has any of you tried detox lately? Was it good for you?

Today, I'm finally sharing the last outfit with my old hair - so starting tomorrow, you can expect posts with the new hair that I've already showed you here.

But, without further ado, to the outfit I wore to school few weeks ago.

















Blazer: H&M Spiked Shoulder Pads: Boohoo Top: Gina Tricot Jeans: New Yorker Biker Boots: Ebay Necklace: SpiritStore Hat: Gina Tricot Bracelets: Nelly.com Bag: Mango

Sporting my quite new blazer from H&M, but spiced it up with some little gold elements. The spiked shoulder pads were such an amazing find from Boohoo, and I love how they add an extra edge to the look. Also, the boots are here to stay, I'm completely in love with them. Though, as the weather gets warmer, I'm more drawn to the ballet flats and heels - like probably most girls out there! :D

So guys, what do you think about the look here? Yay or nay? 

I'm off now, to do household chores, work out, and plan my eating for the first days of detox. ;) I'll be back very soon with another post, though!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Blog ya later,
