Outfit of the night: Friends’ going away party

September 28, 2013~ friends of ours, outfit of the day

mirrorThese are taken a few weeks back, right before we got into a cab to go and enjoy one last evening with our friends (gee, dramatic much?) before they moved to France for a year. We had a wonderful time and it’s really strange to think they’re not around anymore. But at the rate time is flying by, I bet they’ll be back sooner than we imagine.

The taxi was five minutes early so we didn’t have time to take pictures without the blazer on. The top has a cool, a little too revealing back part, it’s tied behind the back like a bikini top so there’s not much there. I can’t decide whether it’s too much or shows just the right amount of skin. Looks classy with a blazer on, though, doesn’t it?

The top and bracelets on my left arm are thrifted, the blouse is from Leiupood {LINK} (for 5€, I think). The bracelets are from a flea market in Finland and the whole bunch cost 2€. Bang for the buck!

The most considerate surprise gift of all

September 24, 2013~ edevus, ilusad asjad, meik & nahahooldus

X1
Right before we were heading out yesterday, I was just going to do my make-up really-really fast and being really stressed already, finding out that you’ve run out of your favorite foundation is not exactly a happy moment. I was a little bit frustrated, went to get another one from the bedroom, all the way mumbling like a grumpy old man. I didn’t think it showed, but apparently it did. After H picked me up from my choir practice, he handed me a beautifully wrapped present. I asked him anxiously  if I could rip it right open so I don’t have a picture of the great job H did wrapping it, but rest assured, it was amazing. I open it and there it is – my all-time favorite foundation and, of course, in the right shade, too. Who does something like that? It absolutely made my day. Not so much the product itself, but that he noticed why I was so irritated for a moment and cared enough to go find it for me straight away.  In the trunk were two portions of my favorite spring rolls from Villa Thai. I’m such a lucky girl. :’)

I’m not a fan of product reviews, but this one really deserves to be reviewed – it really is worth every penny and lasts a long-long time. I’ll get to writing a post on it as soon as possible!

Outfit of the day & New hair

September 24, 2013~ edevus, juuksed, outfit of the day

colla4
We had a photo session with our choir so after we were done, I asked H to take some outfit photos. Because I was all prettied up and all that jazz. I nicked the dress from auntie Gerda after she got back from living la vida loca in Australia a few years back. I borrowed it once and pretty much refused to take it off. She generously gave it to me because she had already worn it a lot. Thank you, auntie G, I still love it as much as I did back then! <3

About the hair: no respectable chameleon would welcome a new season without a drastic change in hair color. What do you guys think? I asked H to go and pick out a hair dye for me and he came back with Schwarzkopf’s Palette in Mahogany Violet. I personally love it and H keeps telling me that he should have made me dye my hair purple (‘ish) ages ago – he really-really likes it. What do you guys think?

Snapshots: A Saturday spent mushroom-hunting

September 23, 2013~ adventures, friends of ours, koerapreili loore, kroonprintsess: pildid

Me and Marilin planned for Saturday to be a day of mushroom hunting and even though we barely found any, we had a wonderful day out in fresh air. The Jellybean got to pick and eat blueberries, the Pooch got to run around the woods like mad and we all really enjoyed ourselves so the time really flew by and we all got our batteries recharged. But this being a snapshots-post… enough chatter, here’s a couple of shots of what a Saturday can look like in our family. 🙂
Edit: I, ouf course, meant “have A picnic” in the third collage. Don’t know where the “a” went. Sorry about that!

Snapshots: A peek into my kitchen

September 18, 2013~ DIY, mis täna lõunaks on?, snapshots (pildipostitus)

snaps3
H works close to our home (a four minute bike-ride away, to be more precise) so he has the privilege of coming home for lunch every single day. Today was no exception and I made my infamous chicken “nuggets” {RECIPE} with rice and a super-easy yet delicious creamy sauce (take 2 dl of cream, pour it into a tiny saucepan, add a dollop of concentrated chicken stock, a teaspoonful of honey and half a teaspoon of curry powder, bring your sauce to a boil and let simmer until it thickens and you’re ready to eat.)

As you can see, the little lady had no intention of waiting for me to be done taking a picture 🙂

Marilin came to see us yesterday and we made waffles! We couldn’t stop talking until it was already way-too-late-o-clock and I’m a teeeensy bit tired today (we may have enjoyed a glass or wine or too as well), but it’s all well worth it because we had tons of fun. We also made plans to go mushroom hunting (if we’re lucky, we’ll find blueberries as well) in the weekend. Squirreling at it’s best!

Squirreling 2.0 – I washed all our lidded jars yesterday and will probably need a lot more. Because I’ve got…
snaps6
… a ton (about 10-15kg) of H’s grandmother’s beetroots and carrots to turn into borscht. It’s a way of encapsulating flavors of the summer and being able to just pour stock over your soup base and you’ve got a delicious beetroot soup with zero effort whenever you like.  We’ve also got…
snaps8
… a million apples. This is just a fraction of all the apples we picked last weekend. That’s about 15kg of apples that are going to be jam and there’s also about 60kg of apples that will be turned into apple juice. Nice, home made, cloudy apple juice. Noms!

When I’ve got another half an hour of spare time, I’ll show you photos of what’s new in our little nest. Soon, I promise!

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

September 12, 2013~ chit-chat

I’m working on a new layout for the blog and have some posts lined up as well (all our photos are spread across three different computers, one of which wasn’t working for quite a while and the other one H brings to work, that’s what’s taking so long), but until I finally get around to posting them, here’s a great uplifting song for you. If I wasn’t already this thrilled to be alive, that song would probably take me there anyway!

So, things I’m grateful for at the moment:

I spent a lovely day with Ethel (who’s now huge and has a darling little boy kicking and punching inside her belly – guess who’s gonna be an almost-aunt in October?) who I barely get to see these days, but love to death. We spent the evening together with auntie T and her family and cooking dinner for a bunch of people you love feels really fulfilling. Our little ladies played really well together and we had tons and tons of fun, too.

I started singing again! I joined a choir called Gaudete and I’m really glad I did. They seem like a great group of people and I’ve had tons of fun so far.

We’ve solved a lot of storage issues by getting two new pieces of furniture – one wardrobe for the little one and one for the hallway. Everything is really neat and easy to keep clean now that everything has a place of its own and that really is a huge relief.

The little lady started taking singing lessons for toddlers at Musamari. We sing, dance, play instruments and play with toys to music and during those 40 minutes, I see how much she appreciates learning and showing off what she does best. Proud moments for a mom!

I have three lovely ladies coming over tonight and I just know I’m going to really have a lot of fun.

All of that on top of a wonderfully busy summer well spent is just… I don’t know, I think I’ve done something good after all. I’ve been blessed!
