Baked Avocado ♥

Hi there lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

Again few days have passed without me writing here, but hopefully you're all still happy to hear about me. I've been sorting out my studies quite a bit, and then we spent the weekend at our friends in Kuopio, so there was simply no time for blogging. Luckily today, I can finally get something out for you guys so we can try and get back with the more regular blogging. I will try to post 3-4 times per week (or more if I happen to have a lot of free time), but don't hate me if we have to settle for two every once in a while. Okay? Good.

Today, I wanted to share this nice little recipe with you. I found it on Instagram, and when I tried it I simply knew I had to share it with you.

Oven-baked Avocados

2 avocados
2 eggs
salt
pepper
chili
garlic
sweet chili sauce
cottage cheese

Cut the avocados in halves. Whisk the eggs carefully and add on top of the avocados. Add spices, and bake in 225 Celsius (425 F) for 15 minutes. Add some chili sauce and cottage cheese on top and serve.

I personally really liked this recipe a lot, and fully recommend trying it out when you want a nice lunch. I think this would also be amazing with some cheddar on top (because everything is better with cheddar on top), but I have yet to try that out. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe, and if you try this out, let me know what you think!

Now, I'm gonna head out to school and try to learn something about marketing. Later this week I will be posting a new outfit post and more fun things, so stay tuned for that! Love you guys ♥

Have a fantastic day!

Gradient vs. Mix'n'Match ♥

Hello darlings!

How are you all? ♥

I've been out of the blogging - and everything online because I was sick pretty much all of the last week, having a sore throat and quite a high fever, so doing anything was a challenge. That means of course that I have a ton of things to do this week (supposing to be a break but truly it's not), especially with our school project which I feel super bad I have neglected. But now, with the new energy I'm sure I will get things done pretty efficiently, starting tonight.

For blogging, I figured a nice comeback would be a nail art post. Since I haven't done my nails in a week as well, it makes me feel better to actually see some creations I've done previously. Hope you like these as well.

So first up we have these gradient nails with animal print and some glitter placement. Pretty simple except for the glitter - because that takes time to work with.

This wasn't one of my favorite manis, but I did like the colors and it was a good practice of techniques, so not at all a waste in that sense. I'm not saying there's much of anything wrong with these, just not so much my taste.

DSC04605 (Large)DSC04611 (Large)

The colors I used for this mani were China Glaze White On White, At Vase Value, For Audrey and Wait N Sea. The glitter is from Born Pretty Store as well as the studs, and the stamping was done with Konad plate if I remember correctly. (But if not, the plate was from Born Pretty Store as well.)

The other one today is a combination of pink, black and silver, which I personally like a lot.

I was trying to do a neat little tape thing here with the chrome polish, but that didn't work as well as I thought. I definitely need to try that again so much that I finally nail it. However many takes I need for that.

DSC04747 (Large)DSC04733 (Large)

The colors I used here were China Glaze White On White, Escaping Reality, Meet Me Under The Stars and I'd Melt For You. The rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store as well as the tapes I was trying to use.

So that's all I have for you today, I'm going to get some sleep now so that I can continue catching up my workload early in the morning. 

Let me know your thoughts about these creations in the comments below!

I'll be back with you as soon as I can - and this time it probably won't take a week or so. So stay tuned, I have loads of nice things in store for you!

Have a lovely day ♥

Leather & Fedora ♥

Hello darlings!

How was your weekend? ♥

I spent mine mostly trying to recover from the past week, but I'm still not sure if I'm ready for the next week tomorrow. However, I gotta get up and face it. It's not that the week would have been unpleasant, it's just that I had so much going on it makes my head spin. After the coming week, I luckily have a week's worth of break - meaning that I can work from home which is a big plus for me since I can skip makeup and hang out in my pyjamas. 

Also, I can't wait for next weekend when we're going to celebrate our friend T's birthday, followed by the inspiring night of the Oscars. I'm so, so excited. What a way to start the winter break.

Today, I wanted to share this quick little outfit post with you before bed. The pictures were taken when we last visited my fiance's parents, and they were taken inside due the schedule that prevented taking pictures outside - or daytime. The reason you don't see my shoes here is that I wasn't wearing any (we don't wear shoes inside here in Finland, in case some of you didn't know that).

I personally really enjoyed wearing this look - and especially having the fedora kind of hat on atfer a long while. Like many of you probably know, I'm much of beanie person myself, but somehow in the spring I can see myself wearing other hats as well. It's probably because I also tend to dress more girly in the spring as well (dresses, skirts etc.) so the different hats feel good too. The shoes I wore with this look were the typical combat boots I've been wearing all the winter long (I feel). 

What do you guys think about this look? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, I need to go plan all the project tasks for next week, as I have to stay organized with all the things I have going on. I will also do my nails and knit a little before bed. I'm obsessed with this scarf I'm knitting, which I will show you when I get it finished and into an outfit picture. But I will go now, and I'll see you soon with a new food post. So stay tuned!

Have a fantastic day ♥

Valentine's Nails pt. 2 ♥

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

Today's post is up later than usual as I've had so many things to do, and way too little time and energy to do them. Luckily, after tomorrow it's finally a new weekend and I can hopefully take it easy. Though I gotta say last night (Wednesday) gave me loads of new energy as we were seeing Amaranthe play at Pakkahuone. The Swedish band totally rocked the place and I definitely intend to see them again if I have the chance.

Today, I wanted to share my final two Valentine's manicures with you, and I hope I manage to inspire at least some of you.

So the first one is this kind of modern pink mani with some gradient, studs and stamped little hearts. I felt this was a nice mani to wear, and I was trying to create a bit different thing here.

DSC04926 (Large)DSC04924 (Large)

I did like wearing this mani, as it wasn't too obvious V-day thing, although on can certainly tell it fits the theme well.

DSC04914 (Large)

The polishes I used were China Glaze White On White, Feel The Breeze and Spring In My Step. The stamping was done with Born Pretty Store plates, and the studs are from there as well. Gradient was created with the help of a makeup sponge.

The other mani was kind of me trying out the hairspray technique for the first time. There are tutorials all over the internet for that, but I could create one as well if you'd like that. I also decided to practice my taping and hand painting.

DSC04959 (Large)DSC04963 (Large)

This might seem too all over the place for some, and even I'm not sure if the two themes here go together, but I kinda liked these anyway.

DSC04955 (Large)

The polishes I used were China Glaze White On White, Spring In My Step, Float On, Feel The Breeze, Escaping Reality and L'Oreal Color Riche Green Couture. I also used Born Pretty Store striping tape and thin nail art brush to paint the stripy rose nails.

So what do you guys think about these nail art creations? And how are you doing your nails on V-day? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, I'm gonna hit the bed and catch some much needed sleep so I can get some important project stuff done tomorrow. But I will see you soon with another post!

Have a lovely day ♥

Let's be friends in IG!
