Finally some time! And something new and exiting as well!

Yo!

Been a long while but I'm back again! And with something new and from now on, monthly fun. I've ordered a LivBox! If someone hasn't got any idea of what it is, it's a monthly subscribe beauty box which, you guessed it, arrives once a month via mail. It's been going on around the States for a while now and it has finally arrived in Finland and I finally got to order it. I wanted to start from January, but was too late for it, so February it is!

All the things I got ended up being useful to me, which is a big plus to me. And since it's Valentine's Day soon, the box included some stuff for men too. A [3D]Mension hair and body shampoo (giving it to my fiancé) and a David Beckham Eau de toilette, which I'm giving to my dad.

And now it is time for some pictures!

^ Arrived in a nice classy black box.

^ With a pale pink ribbon inside!♥

^ Pink wrapping paper too! And here you can see all the items inside. Except two cards that had information about all the items included in the box.

^ The manly stuff.

^ Got John Frieda Full Repair shampoo & conditioner (nice! I already gave these a try and already my hair feels much softer♥), Eucerin cream/lotion/gel for very dry hands (I ended up giving it to one of our interns since her hands were in such a horrible condition, thought she'd need it much more than I did.) and Carmex lip balm.

^ And last but not least, Neutrogena hand cream/gel/lotion (Works very well!) and Garnier BB cream. I've once had a Garnier BB cream and didn't like it that much then, but I decided to give it another go. Usual "fruity" Garnier smell (it's not that bad or strong as some of their products), spreads nicely, but doesn't cover enough for my taste. But considering that you can find this almost everywhere, it's a great go to, especially if you don't want to pay tens of euros for something new. This one is around 13€. And probably the BB cream I'd get if I ran out of my Korean BB creams.

.......

Overall I'm very satisfied with these products and I hope the Eucerin cream helps our cute little intern with her hands. I already can't wait for the next months box, I'm so exited!

Stay tuned for more!

It has been quiet.

Hello!

Sorry it has been so quiet lately (if there's anyone reading my blog :P). I've again been very busy with work. And life for once. Anyway.

It's cold. And dark. I love it. It's so beautiful outside now that it's cold enough for the snow to stay.

^ Took the picture this morning while waiting for a bus to come.

.......

Yeah. Start of the month was very busy indeed. But now I am back on my feet again!

I also got some more stuff (late Christmas presents), but for now I don't have any pictures to show. But I can show some stuff I've been making.

My grandma is turning 75 in few days, so I'm in charge of making the cakes. I also made her a card, which isn't that special since I didn't have much time to make it. But at least I have a handmade card to give her.

^ Just some stamping stuff and few blings.

^ Roses for the cakes.

.......

I've been doing a lot of repainting lately, but for now I have no pictures. And I am not sure if I'll be posting them here. Might do it over tumblr.

Anyway! More posts coming soon, lot's of new cheap eBay purchases and such! Stay tuned!

Christmas = Good food and few good presents.♥

Aye!

Christmas is finally over. How was yours?

It was such a shame that we didn't get any snow this Christmas. Only grey clouds and rain. Somewhat ruined the small Christmas spirit I had. Oh well. I'm not that much into Christmas any more.

Our (my fiancé, our cats and me) Christmas was just good food, taking it easy and sleeping late. Plus I finally had so "much" free time so I actually got some stuffs done.

I didn't get much presents, but that was to be expected. I didn't ask for anything. I already posted about the new bag I got a while ago, which was my first gift.
After that it was just three items and money (since you can't really buy food or pay bills with items..), a pair of leggings to keep me warm this coming winter and a small box of chocolate. 
The three items I got are these:

^ The most beautiful fire alarm there is! ♥ (Lento, by Paula Suhonen, Jalo Helsinki. Colour: white.)

^ A cake server (By Magisso. Colour: black)! And believe it or not, I don't really have any, even thought I am a baker-confectioner...

^ And last but not least, a new wash brush (By Rento)! Now I can enjoy our sauna even more ♥

.......

And all these three items are Finnish design. Unless I am horribly wrong, but I'm hoping that I'm not.

Anyway, it's not time for some food (meat stew!♥), so I must go. Happy New Year, since it's almost here. And if someone is still having a Merry Christmas, or what-ever-that-doesn't-offend-you (....), Merry blah-blah to you!

New stuff from eBay and some Christmas crafting♥

Howdy.

Didn't get any time to post last week even thought I had a day off.
But that means that now I have more to post about.

Firstly there's some stuff I got from eBay and lastly some Christmas cards and gifts I've made. Sadly this year I didn't have enough time to make all the cards myself, so all except the cards for Mom and Dad were bought, thought I did add some glitter and/or pears to them.
At least I managed to send them on time...

I am doing my best on the gifts part thought. Most I'll be making myself, unless I happen to see something that I think would fit someone perfectly.

Anyway, on with the show!

^ Here's the new stuff from eBay! Two pairs of earrings (the rose ones have tiny crystals inside♥), eyelash adhesive (Korean/Chinese cheap stuff is the best) a new mascara and some small brushes for small details. I tried to take some pictures of how the mascara looks but I failed..

.......

And next is couple new bags. Not from eBay thought.

^ We got these shopping bags at work and I fell in love with this one. And now I carry all the stuff I buy in it. So much better to carry than the average plastic bag.

^ And my early Christmas gift! My old big hand bag was.. well, old. And half dead. So it was time for a new one. And so it happened that after telling about seeing this lovely new bag at Sokos mall I was promised it. ♥

.......

And now some artsy-fartsy craftings.

^ Hand made Christmas cards for Mom and Dad.

^ A hairband for my boss's daughter. The rose can also be taken off and worn as a brooch etc.

^ Added some pearls to the hairband to make it more interesting.

^ And nothing else but a pink high heel for the little Princess.

^ And a wreath. Might give this to my boss too, since the necklace feels a bit.. Well, not enough.

^ Closer.

.......

And that's it for today. Next post will be up most likely some day next week. Not on Sunday since we're having some guests here (Mom and my little brother♥). And tomorrow we're having a little Christmas part at work. ♥

Anyway, next post might be about more eBay stuff if they get here. Or something else.

Byebye!♥

pfft

Hii!

And... yeah. Haven't got anything done today. Halfway through with Christmas cards, but none ready. yay. One present is coming along slow and steady. Just hoping I'll get everything done before Christmas :P

So here's a picture of Finland Cupcakes, in celebrating of our Independence Day (6.12, so I'm already late with this..).

^ Lemon & Champagne cupcakes with edible Finlands flag.

And that's all I could share with you guys today. If I have a free day next week I'll try to get some stuff done so I can post about them!

Byebye!♥
