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!

Byebye!♥

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!♥

Christmas is coming!

 Hello!

As the title says, Christmas is coming. And that means Christmas gifts and cards.

Yesterday I started making the gifts (how early of me..) and next Sunday I'll try to get the cards done. Or Friday.

Anyway, thought I'd make a quick update post, show you the first gift I got done. And something else. :)

^ And here it is! Silver and different shades of red.

^ And here's a picture of a train, taken inside a train.

I was actually visiting Nummela once again almost two weeks ago. I had a class reunion and it was so much fun to meet most of the people and see how everyone was doing nowadays. Too bad no one had a good camera, so we didn't get any pictures taken.

^ And our cat Pöpö trying to make my life slightly harder.

Aand that's it for now. Again. I'll do my best to get the next post up as soon as I finish making some of the Christmas gifts and cards. 

Byebye!♥

New stuff!♥

Hello!
It's been a while. Again. Damn.

Not only have I been busy with work (still), but I've also been sick with flu. Ever since September, but last week it got so bad I had to take couple days off to get some rest. And I'm still not completely done with the flu. But I'm getting there, hopefully..

Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of couple new things I've gotten, and a sneak peak pic of my latest project.

^ My very first Kalevala jewellery! They're quite expensive (imo), but I got a giftcard to the store and I only ended up paying 9€ (they're 59€, if anyone is wondering). Going to add something to the backpiece, to make them stand out more, and fit the new bracelet below.

^ The bracelet I got from Bijou Brigitte. So I paid more from it than I usually do with my jewellery (since they're almost all from eBay..). Lovely black filigree bracelet 14,90€ I think.

And the earrings are from eBay, around 1£.

 

^ Sneak peak! They're wings. Lot's of them.

And I cut my hair! It used to be long enough to touch my boobs, but now it's just past my jawline. And now my hair looks and feels so much better.

.......

Mmmm, what else. I'll try posting again soon, the biggest problem is to find time and place to take pictures of the stuff I've had. It gets dark very early and with my crappy Lumia it's a miracle if I can get a decent pic..

Anyway. I'll start doing my make up so I won't be late from work.

And here's a couple of pics of things I've been making at work.

^ Dummy cake for  our store window and a 18th birthday cake.

^ Babyshower cake and a christening cake.

^ Winter Snow Castle cake closeup.

^ And the whole cake, made to feed 250 people. It was fun to make, but damn did it take time too.

.......

And that's all for today. I hope you all have a great week and try not to get sick!

Yves Rocher order and what has been keeping me busy.

Good afternoon!

Nope. No eBay posts yet. I'm still waiting for some stuff to arrive, so it'll take some time.
But I did get something else!

There was a sale at Yves Rocher, so I thought, why not. I'll be saving a lot of money, plus get to try something new.

And I got a surprise gift with my order. Which is meant for people older than me but.. Sure I'll use it.

Here's the stuff I got!

^ Eau de Toilette - Lily of the Valley, Hair mask and night time cream for older skin. And a "Green book".

Best part is definitely the hair mask I got. First one that has actually worked for my hair. It makes my 'crows nest hair' so soft and smooth. Definitely worth the money.

And the Lily of the Valley Eau de Toilette! It smells fantastic, just like the real thing!

Lastly, I was quite unsure about the night cream, mainly because I'm not the target audience for the product, but I decided to give it a shot. So far so good. Usually night creams are way too greasy for my skin, and in the morning my skin feels very oily and nasty. But this one seems to be just fine. It absorbs very fast, smells nice and doesn't do anything bad to my sensitive skin. I like it. :)

And now for the next part!

I've been away from blogging for quite a while, thanks to me having so much work. So I thought I could at least share some of the things I've been doing there. Not to mention that the last few days before the next month we'll be very very busy. We'll be making a huge 450+ people cake for an event at Helsinki, and it's going to need a lot of decorations.

And I'm the one usually responsible for most, if not almost all, of the decorations on the cakes and cupcakes. But I do some of the baking too.

Anyway, here's some pictures from the past couple months.

^ Birthdaycake and a 1-year cake for a production company.

^ Small wedding cake.

^ Birthdaycakes

^ Company cupcakes and a gluten-free cello birthdaycake.

^ For Addams Family cupcakes!

And that's all for today, I hope I've got time to post next week, if not, I'll at least try to make a quick post about not having enough time >_>!

Anyway, Byebye!♥
