Hey there!

Once again I haven't written in ages and I have no reasons or excuses. I just haven't felt like writing anything here. But, I'll try to explain shortly what's happened.

Quite soon after returning from England my life started going down. Like... DOWN.
I was able to do various stuff for a while, but then I started losing that as well. I've had so much trouble and anxiety over various things these past 7 months it's ridiculous.

My medication (anti-depressant and anxiety one) got raised. I managed to get some appointments with a psychiatric nurse, but she wasn't that helpful so when I (completely accidentally) missed one appointment and she didn't call me back (at all), I just decided that I'd rather not see her again.
Then I got diagnosed with anaemia as well.
So pretty much from the beginning of this year, I've been taking 3 kinds of meds. For my mental health problems, hypothyroidism, and anaemia.
SO FUN. (Not.)
The best part? I still don't have an apartment (for NO good reason), no job (I've applied to various), and I'm just... in the point of giving up.

Then yesterday something heartbreaking happened. And in a way it kinda... while it was world-stopping, at the same time I kinda realised that I got to keep trying.
Right now I'm still hurting (mentally and physically) so much, but... I guess I'll survive.

Anywhoo, in order to NOT make this a post about how I dislike life and people, I'll just show you what I bought today to cheer me up from all of what's happened lately. Hehe.

TADAH!

Okay, so in truth I just went to Sokos to get a hair treatment, but ended up getting all that. Whoops.

Lumene: Radiant Touch cleanser and toner

These have been my favourite face products lately. I just really like how they make my skin feel and look like. ( I also have the Radiant Touch face scrub. The whole family! ) And then I saw these two bottles, with +50% extra, and on discount... well... Whoops. I'm hoarding these.

Aussie: 3 Minute Miracle Colour Mate Deep Treatment.

That's a mouthful...

So I did get what I wanted as well. Good thing it was on discount too, because Aussie is ridiculously expensive in Finland. The same bottle is about £5 in England (~6,20€) where as in Finland this is 13-14€ normally. I paid 11,50€. I know, such a huge discount. Not.

You can all bet your asses that I'll be hoarding Aussie stuff when I go to England in July...

We Care Icon: Body Scrub - Love Story

These guys have 3 different body scrubs. Tropical Wind (which I've tried and it smells so good), Love Story (the one I got just now), and Fresh Spirit (which I'm gonna try after Love Story).

Right now I have a feeling that I will prefer Tropical Wind over Love Story, because of the smell, but we'll see. I doubt that they'll feel that different, and the Tropical Wind one was at least gentle, but good. I wasn't meant to get this one either but... discount. Whoops.

Shower cap!

Last but not least (?!) I got myself a shower cap. They weren't on discount, so I got myself the cheapest one. This actually smells like a beach balloon, so I assume it's made out of similar material. But this is gonna make my life so much easier. Yes.

Hmmm. That's about it.

I'll update again when I feel like it, but don't stay on your toes. It might take a while :(

Till then, stay human!

I would like to defy your norms, if that is okay with you.

After today's Physical Theatre lecture I decided to go to Primark to see if they have some animal print leggings (which we will need for our Physical Theatre assessment, it's not like I REALLY want to wear them, and even when I have to, I'll wear something to cover my ass!), as well as to buy a new strapless bra. I was also running out of nail polish remover so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and drop by Superdrug on my way home.

What I was meant to get from my small shopping trip:
- Strapless bra
- Nail polish remover

What I ended up getting:

 Bra, a top, nail polish remover, nail buffer, crystal nail file, and two packets of hair removal cream.

Well, what else can I say than "Ooops."?
I don't even have money for all this crap so I don't know WHY I got all of that... probably because it all ended up costing me only £20. (EXCUSES, EXCUSES.)
I am still looking for jobs, and just dropped three CVs to different places AGAIN. I just hope someone would hire me soon, and if they don't, I'll just hope it was because I'm over-qualified or something.

Anyhooow, when I got home I decided to try my new bra on to see how it goes with my new dress which I got some time ago.
Btw, reason for this sudden bra purchase is the fact I am nominated for an award in our University's Students' Union's Volunteering and Society Awards. 

I don't even care that they completely screwed up my surname because I'm so excited xD

The event is held at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, which is apparently a quite nice place to hold formal events. They also informed that the dress code is formal, so I'll provide you all with a simple three row explanation which also helps to establish the fact that I needed a new bra:

Dress code: formal.
My dress: strapless.

My bras: with straps.

So after putting on my bra and the dress, I asked my flatmate Monica to take some pictures:

 Excuse my chubby feet.

 Waterfall in the back!

I said something about feeling like a spring bride, which we both laughed at. And then we just got kinda crazy...

 

Stepford The Tything Wives

So yeah... I do think that half of those should totally be included in a bridal catalogue. *nod nod*

I also got a new nail polish the other day, which I blame Jai for, because I saw it on her blog first!

I'm in the middle of my manicure here, hence the nail polish in places it should be.

I think that's about it this time, I'm going to go and continue my manicure now.
Stay human and blog ya later~!

I'm the Queen of Random

And this, is the Random post of Doom.
I mean it. There's really no point. Just a bunch of pics and caps to tell you what's been going on.

Let's start with the fact that I'm back from my relatives and I didn't return to Helsinki empty handed.

This. Is an old duvet cover which I'm gonna make a reversible dress out of. Hopefully.

It just depends on whether or not there's enough fabric since I don't want the hearts to go sideways :D
Sooo cute~ I got it from my aunt who doesn't use it anymore since it has a small hole.
IF I have to decide to go with only one colour, which one should I take, The white or the red one?
I also saved an old bunny plush toy that my younger cousin had abandoned. I don't have pictures of it, but you can see the green cutie jammin' with me and another bunny in my robo.to.

I was looking for some sewing patterns from my aunt's old sewing magazines for the dress... but the magazines were from the "lovely" 90's...

As you can see...

Ah, since I was born in the late 80's, it means I grew up in the worst time of 90's, where the trouser legs were just a tad too short and shirts way too big with shoulder pads.
Not. Cool. Man.
The coolest things about 90's have to be the music and the cartoons.

Definitely not this...

Or these...

And this is not even that bad :D

So yeah... I might have some kind of... antipathies towards the style of the 90's x)

I know that the shoulder pads were WAY bigger in the 80's, but I still remember them so vividly from the 90's dress shirts and women's suits :'''D
And now those freaking Lady Gaga and Rihanna are trying to bring them back. Please. Stop them.

So many... and so many terrible sewing patterns...

On to happier (?) news! Let the randomness continue!

This is what I have to deal with when I wake up.

In the photo my hair isn't even that bad, it's usually way worse :D
I have naturally curly hair... not anything close to an afro, but very strong natural waves, so to say, that make my hair go EVERYWHERE.
If I straighten my hair and go out when it's raining or just otherwise humid, my hair will wave up automatically in 5 minutes or less. Nice.

Oh well, that's life and I have to thank my dad for my strong (wavy), brown hair x)

Let me continue my almost timelined story....

My return to Helsinki was soon followed by Midsummer which used to be my favourite festival but which I dislike nowadays since I usually have to spend it alone or at work.
Luckily my dear friend Iippa decided to save me from utter loneliness and boredom and came all the way from Oulainen to Helsinki to spend it with me.
MUCHLY APPRECIATED it was x)

We were supposed to watch almost all the Batman movies, but after the first one (Burton's Batman) stuff happened and we couldn't watch the rest... Instead we watched The Room (which is probably the worst movie ever made) and...

Did some candy box porn!

(Okay. I did.)

It all got me very... thoughtful.

We also played Amnesia! One of the very few things that actually makes me s*it my pants... every freaking time :D
All in all, my Midsummer turned out surprisingly good~

Today (well... yesterday) I went to the very centre of Helsinki to meet my friend Heli.

The Finnish National Theatre.

We met right infront of the building in question and then just... headed to Pohjoisesplanadi and even bumped into our other friend Sonja. It was pretty random and fun. We even went to Helsinki Info to ste- get some tourist quides in Japanese x)

I also realised that it's the Pride week! I was accidentally wearing the right top for it as well!

Look at my fringe! It's grown SO fast.

Yeah, I know you can't really see the top, but I'm wearing the same one in the manba photos from last year, so if you wanna see it, just go a bit back in my archive and it should be there :)
It says "Under the Rainbow" :333

So yeah... we went shopping and stuff and I bought some nail polishes with my nonexistent money...
But hey! At least my nails are cool now (DAMN YOU PHONE)!

So blurry -_-

Yeah, I used some blue and silver-ish nail polish I found from my cousin's cupboard and then used my own, new, Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine glitter nail polish and top coat.
I stole the idea from Iippa who got it from this tutorial :3
Next time I'm gonna do another colours and it's gonna be even better. Mwah.

Aaanygays. I'm running out of randomness and I've been listening to Eye of the Tiger SO much that I should really head to bed now. Quickly.

Unkle Baourban is going quickly.

I have a confession to make.

I love shorts.
And skirts, but shorts even more.

Honestly, I love them.
I walked to town on Wednesday to do some shopping for my friend's birthday and went to Primark. Big. Mistake.
They had the new spring collection of a kind and it was full of shorts. White ones with flowers, light coloured jean ones, grey ones... SHORTS all over the place.

Luckily (or NOT) I'm pretty much penniless so I just couldn't get any of those...
But oh you wait... when and if I get some money...

I took only one pair of shorts (and two skirts) with me from Finland.
Right now I have three pair of shorts HERE.
Back in Finland I have... two pairs? I'm not sure, I might've gotten rid of some before I left, but I can't remember.. I think I also left some skirts there :DDD
Anyway, I'll try to get them here, because it's spring already and I miss them and some day, I'll take a picture of my shorts... and skirts :D

Shorts ♥

Päivitystä pukkaa jälleen

Tämän päivityksen tarkoitus on... näyttää mitä kaikkea olen lähiaikoina pohtinut ja ostanut x)

Minulla on kaksi uutta asukkia:

Paavo ja Tane.

Sain ne ystävältäni Lauralta, kun hän lähti takaisin Suomeen. En siis ostanut niitä, enkä kyllä nimiäkään pohtinut puolta minuuttia enempää. Paavo on siis tuo kiero (haha) ja Tane tuo suora :D

Tänään kävin itseasiassa ihan ostoksilla asti, mitä en ole tehnyt.... vähään aikaan. Olen viettänyt aikaani aika pitkälti kampuksella ja sisällä katsoen X-Fileseja~
Joooka tapauksessa, tänään suuntasin keskustaan pankkiasioiden merkeissä ja samalla kävin ostamassa muutaman piristävän esineen...

En yleensä välitä vyötärölle puettavista vöistä, koska pidän löysistä vaatteista ja nuo vyöt... no, ne puristaa :D
Mutta totesin, että tuollainen on aika käytännöllinen, sillä voi muuttaa asua nopeasti ja tämä kyseinen yksilö oli jopa miellyttävän näköinen.
River Island, £12.99

Käväisin myös Primarkissa katselemassa, että mitäs kivaa niiltä tällä kertaa löytyy... ja onneksi hallitsin itseni, sillä muuten sieltä olisi tarttunut mukaan shortsit, huppari ja ties mitä muuta.
Nyt päätin napata mukaani alennuksesta, VAIN, pienen laukun:

Kick-Ass kurkkii laukun peilistä :D (Primark £5)

Kyllä mie vielä joku päivä menen takaisin ja ostan vähintään sen yhden hupparin :3
Mutta se saa odottaa ensi viikkoon (jolloin koulu jatkuu! *le gasp*), sillä tänään kulutin keskustassa sellaiset 50 puntaa :''D
Ai miten niin vain 15,99 puntaa? En ole vielä ehtinyt listata niitä kalliimpia ostoksiani...
En nimittäin pystynyt vastustamaan HMV:n kutsua ja niinpä päädyin ostamaan Iron Man 2:n (2-Disc Special Edition £12) ja Disneyn Fantasian (DVD + Blu-Ray samassa paketissa sekä neljä taidekorttia, £19,99).
Kotiin päästyäni huomasin Fantasiassani erään pienen, jännän asian...

Nimittäin tuollaisen DVD-lukon (vai mikä ikinä onkaan virallinen nimitys) :D
Tuo tosiaan on sellainen lukko, joka estää varkaudet myymälöissä ja vaikka joku onnistuisikin repimään tuon irti, niin se naarmuttaisi pahasti levyä.
Pitänee huomenna mennä käymään kaupassa kuitin kansssa (ja jättää lompakko kotiin) xD


Ostin myös postikortteja, koska ne oli söpöjä :3

Tuo hamsteri-kortti on vähä hölmö, mutta oli pakko ostaa se :D

Japanilaisvaikutteisessa kortissa ja Tsirp Tsirp-kortissa (eli tuossa puu-kortissa) on molemmissa pieniä kimaltavia yksityiskohtia, joita kamerani ei tässä valaistuksessa tietysti voinut saada tallennettua. Kaikki kortit: Clinton Cards £0.50/kpl.

Sitten niihin asioihin, mitä olen pohtinut x)
Golden Globes ja eräs paitani. Golden Globesista pitäisi kirjoittaa ihan oma postaus ja sen teen kunhan olen saanut tarpeeksi kuvia kasaan...
Mutta se paita. Eräässä lempipaidassani on jotain ihme tahroja, jotka ei normaalissa pesussa ole lähteneet.

Kivasti vaaleanpunaisella ympäröin, että huomaisitte ne paremmin x) Ihan kuin ne ei näkyisi muuten :DDD

Ne nimittäin näkyy ja kauas.
Eka epäilin, että ne olisi öljytahroja, mutta kun ne on tuollaisia oudon... kellertäviä, enkä muista lutranneeni öljyllä tuon paidan kanssa...

Lähempää näkyy tuo tahran erikoisempi sävy...

Ei teistä kenelläkään sattuisi olemaan erinomaisia ohjeita kyseisten tahrojen poistoon?

Ajattelin seuraavaksi kokeilla kaikkia legendaarisia "öljytahrojen poistokikkoja", mutta jos mikään ei auta, niin kiikutan tuon varmaan pesulaan, koska ;___;
Se on kuitenkin yksi miun lemppareista.

Ilmeeni kun tahrat eivät vain lähde pesu(je)n jälkeen.

Ah, olenhan mie pohtinut myös blogille uutta taustaa ja ulkomuotoa!
Mutta koska olen a) kämmen Photoshopin kanssa ja b) miulla ei ole piirtopöytää, joka hankaloittaa asiaa, niin siinä saattaa kestää ja kauan :D
Saatan sortua Paintin käyttöön, koska se on vain niin paljon helpompi ja nopeampi xD

Olikohan kaikki siinä...
Mie nyt yritän ryhdistäytyä tuon luvatun GG-postauksen kanssa. X-Files on vain niin koukuttavaa, että sitä haluaa vain katsoa ja katsoa, vaikka olen varmaan kaikki jaksot nähny jo :D
Salaisista Kansioista puheen ollen, käynpä laittamassa pizzan uuniin, päivitän poupeen ja sitten jatkan niiden katsomista xD

Ensi kertaan o/
