15 days until Christmas

Okay.All right-my plan didn´t work :P I was quite busy last five days,so I didn´t get a chance to sit few minutes behind the laptop..therefore I did not post anything since last Wednesday.I apologize :) And I didn´t manage to take any proper pictures(screw me!!)

Thursday 5th
 I went to burn my ass off to the gym :)) and later in evening I was babysitting Kasperi and Vertti.We    
 had much fun together,playing hide and seek and baking ginger breads and decorated them with loads 
 of sugar paste and pearls(I got suspected that some of the decorative past ended up in Vertti´s mouth,he just could not keep his hands of it :)




Friday 6th
The 6th of December is Independence day in Finland.Every market is closed,so you better buy your milk one day before,if you don´t want to drink a morning coffee black :) That´s what happened to us.
Later in a day,family meets for a dinner-I celebrated itsenäisyyspäivä,how they call it,with my boyfriend and his family.We had a glögi,which is form of a wine,heated up and served with almonds and raisins inside the cup.Mäti-salmon eggs with sour cream and rye bread,as an appetizer,then smoked salmon,turkey,reindeer ham,liver casserole with butter potatoes and all the different delicious food.I love Finland when it comes to traditions and cuisine <3 Some day I have to make a post related to this topic ;)
 



After our stomachs got fulfilled,we trundled ourselves to the sofa and watched the official parade,with Finnish president Sauli Niinistö-shaking hands with hundreds of people..that has gotten quite boring at some point,but I didn´t want to be rude,so I watched it until the end :P


These are Duudsonit- Finnish jackass,and what they wore at the parade :)) I adore their jackets!




Saturday 7th
Right after breakfast I went to a ´cave´ with my Brazilian friend Benoit,climb some walls.I only started about a month ago,but I really got into it,it´s kind of addictive sport.And great workout for shoulders and back.

20 days until Christmas

I don´t really like all the Christmas commercials and markets selling Christmas stuff already in October..that is so annoying,and it makes me furious!BUT-when It turns to December,then I get excited and start to count days-I decorate our home (candles and red always works ;) bake some gingerbreads and enjoy the warm atmosphere.This year,I decided to make a Christmas special and unforgettable :) Every day,I share with you,,what am I doing and how do I prepare for a most beautiful time of the year!



Today I enjoyed my day-off,actually I got whole week-off,cos my host family went for a vacation.So therefore,I can use this time for cleaning and getting ready for my trip back home.The 20th December I am flying to Slovakia to spend holiday with my family and love ones(after two previous Christmas here in Finland) I caaan´t wait to come home and have all the beautiful food my mom prepares and just enjoy our cozy home for couple of days.Not that Finnish Christmas wouldn´t be good enough-I love Finnish traditions and meals,but it´s time to be home this Christmas and New Year!

 
Here is what I did today-after waking up late(oh you have no idea how much I like to sleep :)) I started the day with breakfast and a Gossip girl marathon-I have to admit,I might be too old for this series,BUT I just love scenes from NY city,costumes and most of all-the gorgeous Blake Lively and charismatic Ed Westwick.So yeah,I am watching the 3rd series for a second time now-NO comment ;) Then I did some to do list,which includes to get a new TV-stand and some other things we still need to our apartment.I especially like the one from the picture above.      




After a gym session we went to a shopping mall with my boyfriend-guess what was the first place to visit?To satisfy two hungry stomachs-there was only one option-SUSHI,I can´t think of anything else to eat rather than a beautiful sushi with a hint of wasabi-that is always a BIG TIME for me,I keep smiling like a fool and feel so happy :))







This is what we got from our shopping for a Christmas decoration.The furry pillow and a poinsettia-or a Christmas star.Something is still missing,but about that next time ;) Dot.How was your day?
