Vegonista

I've been living in t shirt dresses and this maxi dress is one of them. It's flowy and soft and I don't have to think so much about the styling while wearing it. Dress; Monki

The body shop is one of my fave skincare brands out there. Honestly it’s the brand I grew up using. One of my clearest memories is the olive body butters scent after Friday Sauna. 
It’s a great brand that is cruelty free and has loads of great vegan products. I ordered some of my summer must haves and thoughts O’d share my absolute vegan summer favorites from the brand. First up Skin defence 50 SPF sunscreen. This is my fave sunscreen! It’s pretty light in formula, sinks into the skin beautifully and doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin. Works great under makeup. 
Aloe vera deodorant. This is a great deodorant, it’s for sensitive skin.  Suits my sensitive and dry skin perfectly. It’s is fraigrance free and doesn’t have that weird chemical smell some fragrance free products have. Coco calming face mist. A lovely face mist that feels cooling when my face feels sweaty and itchy. I sometimes use this as a setting spray to get a more glow. 
Shea butter hair mask. Strongly recommend thi...

Earlier this spring I stated that I am on a makeup no buy. And so I intend to be to at least 2021. So I got inspired by Kelly Gooch to start doing 3 looks 1 palette. I’ve done two on my IGTV, Naked 3 and Naked Smokey. But I intend to keep the series going. ’Cause I have soooooo many palettes that really need some lovin’. Some of these palettes aren’t vegan but don’t worry I will disclosure that clearly! I Hope to inspire you to use your old palettes.
This time I have the vegan palette, Catrice cosmetics- Crystallized Amethyst a lovely palette with wonderful amethyst inspired colors. First up smokey purple look. I used the shade Power in the crease. On a small brush a took Vibe and smoked the outer corner and brought some of it to the crease. I smudged the shade Proud on my finger and applied it on the lid. I also used Proud on my lower lash line. On the inner corner I dotted some of the shade Crystal. A terra-cotta dream. This is a super easy quick look. I started to warm up the crease...

Finally it's time for vacay! To be honest last time I had a month off I was about 14... So this is loooong overdue. The spring has been crazy, new job and now I'm going to be a full time student. So grateful for this month that will give me time to settle and re-fule. Fashion wise I will probably wear T-shirt dresses. Such as this one from Monki, It's soft and easy to wear. I go for sandals or sneakers with this one. T-shirt dress is the perfect piece for the lazy girl. It's comfy and easy to style. It's easy to wear from day to night, just switch shoes or jewellry  maybe throw on red lipstick. I think for fall/winter I will probably stylle it with black tights and Doc Martens boots. 

I sat there with my phone refreshing the page over and over again. I mean it’s almost 9 am, publish the list of the new students already? At this point I don’t care if it’s a no, I just want to know. I feel the build-up of my intense training for this moment to see if my name is among the accepted to study classical singing… My path to this moment started when I was 6 stating proudly to my mom that I want to be a conductor. My mom sang at the time in a choir and I sat and watched the rehearsals. In fact, I was only 3 months old on my first practice. I was in awe over the conductors elegant waiving almost ballet like movements- he was a painter and the choir was the colours.   “Well” my mom said to my ambitious goal “you’ll have to learn the violin and piano”. So I did, I started with Violin lessons after that at the age of 10 I started to play the piano. I got to sing solo in church every Christmas. I auditioned to sing in the opera kids choir, I wasn’t accepted. Many of my fri...

The season of wrapskirts is finally here. I ordered some goodies from monki and I have to say I've been enjoying the big poofy sleeves and messy buns.

Summer is finally here in Helsinki. I've enjoyed wearing dresses again. I've spotted a new trend. Knitted vests, preferably layered over dresses, white shirts or just on its own. First I felt this is not my thing... Every picture I looked at on Pinterest trying to convince me that "it would totally work for me"- I just found it had MAYOR Chandler Bing energy (lol). But I actually own a knitted top (not quite a vest but close enough). So I was playing around with different style combos. And I had on me my beautiful summer dress- I felt the top calling me "just try it". First I thought- nope doesn’t work. But after doing a couple twirls in front of the mirror- it just clicked. The top gives my basic summer dress some flare. Since my "makeup through the decades" post, I've really fallen in love with 60's hairstyles. I did a 60's inspired French twist.
