Different kind of MayDay celebration

The 1st of May in Finland is called Vappu. The celebrations start today. That basically means that a lot of people get drunk. That is what I usually do. Provided I have the holiday off. But not this year. Sure, I have a day off today and start working nights tomorrow, so I could've celebrated. But  I decided not to. I can't remember the last time I've voluntarily turned down a celebratory day!

Many kids and kid-like people get balloons

So instead I opted to stay at home with the husband, just like a normal day off :) Just some good food and some Pommac, which is a non-alcoholic soft drink often served at weddings as an option to sparkling wine. And it's so delicious! Really reminds me of the times I visited my great aunt. She lived at this agricultural school being the hostess or whatever. Anyway, she had this outdoor food cellar which smelled all musty and she always had Pommac there for me. Ah, happy memories!

Anyway, here's a few food photos of today :P








Voila, bon appetit!

Did me nails

In the spirit of the first of May (a colorful national holiday in Finland falls on that day :D) I put on some bright nail polish.

Inside my make up -bag

Bag by Marimekko

Since I've just been slumping around in comfy homeclothes and done absolutely nothing of interest the past few days I decided to do this post and show you my mostly used make up. Like anyone really cares :D

Anywho, I never wear "supermarket"-brands. I only buy my make up from department stores special counters, from cosmetic stores or online. After switching to "better quality" stuff a few years ago, I haven't looked back. But to each their own. and to some people M.A.C. is a "supermarket" brand. Well not here, since you can only buy it one or two places... :)

Primer: M.A.C.
Foundation: Dior Forever, shade 010
Concealer: M.A.C. Pro Longwear, shade NW20

Powder: M.A.C. Blot pressed, shade medium

Eye-liner: M.A.C. Liquid eye liner
Mascara: Make Up Store Drama Mascara in black
Eyeliner kajal: M.A.C in dark brown

Primers by M.A.C. for lashes and lips

Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Eye shadows: M.A.C. shades Carefree (left) Typographic (right)

Eye shadow: M.A.C., shade: Charcoal Brown Matte (I use it for my eyebrows)
Lipstick: Urban Decay Super-saturated, shade Punch Drunk (seriously the best thing ever)

Blush: M.A.C. shade Cubic
Bronzer: M.A.C. shade Refined Golden

And me in my make up :P

OOTD, Friday

I quite rarely take outfit photos purely because of my work. I wear the good old white nurses uniform at work so I rarely have the energy or the will to play dress up on days I work, because I wear my regular clothes just on the way to and from work. How exciting!

Anyway, made an exception yesterday :P

Hat and jeans: Asos
T-shirt and cardigan: New Look


Scarf: Asos
Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Necklace: Ebay
Daryl Dixon ❤

Bomber/biker/whatever!

Since the Asos-coat was way too expensive for me, I opted for this lovely piece from Yours Clothing. It only costs €65 and looks AWESOME!!! Ship it to me already!!!

Converse... again.

Well, I pondered and pondered and went back and forth and back and forth again. Searched through a million websites always finding nothing. I've been searching for a pair of black leather Converse-shoes ever since I realized that I seriously do not own a pair of casual shoes that are somewhat suitable for a rainy weather. Black ones are impossible to find in my size. Am I too late? Or what the hell is going on... So I caved in and bought these darkish grey ones, quite similar in color to my first pair. I'm still torn and have a few days to decide if to send them back. I highly doubt I will though :D And it's supposed to be rainy and cold today, so I might actually just put these on today. I refuse to look out the window as I still have a few hours before I have to go to work...

This is where the magic happens!

...from now on ;)

I've been sans desk for a year probably more or less. For some reason my dear husband dismantled my desk when he stripped my pc apart.. I decided a few weeks ago that I simply can not always sit on the bed with my laptop when he's hogging the pc. So I did a little rearranging today and assembled the desk back to where it (sort of) belongs. It's butt-ugly. I want a prettier one. But it'll do. Now I can sit on a chair instead of a bed all the time. Ha ha ha! Also, I have a few penpals, so it's nicer to write on an actual desk instead (again) on the bed or at work during a nightshift.

I need my iPad beside me, because I tend to watch Netflix on the laptop! Oh technology ❤

Letters waiting to be responded to

The photobox is empty at the moment. I'm not quite sure what to put there!
Debenhams

In these boxes I keep bits and bobs people send me or whatever small things I find somewhere
eBay

Mostly I use the camera on my phone because it's always with me. Outfit photos and party etc. photos I take with this. I would like to get a new one soon :P

Asos WANT!-list


I really really really want the leather jacket... Also, does anyone else think the model is way too skinny to model plus-sized clothes?
