Answers, part 3

December 15, 2012~ küsimused & vastused, sildita

This is it, guys – the final part of the answers! There are some more that need a little more effort (ones where you requested to see my wardrobe, make-up bag, shoes, recipes etc.) and that I’m going to post one by one in separate posts. But until then, some more answers to your amazing questions:

PERSONAL/RELATIONSHIPS

Do you think you’re better than others?
There are people I could outsmart or look/be better than any day of the week. Doesn’t mean I feel I’m superior to others in general. I’m actually very modest and appreciate other people (especially talented ones) way more than I do myself. 🙂

What was your first childhood pet?
I can’t remember very clearly, but I think it was a crazy energetic dog named Schimanski (correct me if I’m wrong, mom).

Is there anything you would willingly give your life for?

Easy-peasy – my daughter! Although on the second thought it would suck for her to grow up without a mother, my instinct would most definitely be to spare her.

Are you more of a rebellious or conservative type?
When it comes to emotion and opinion – rebellious. Values and spontaneity- probably conservative. I’d like to think I’m a healthy mix of the two.

How emotional would you say you are on a scale of 1-10? (10 being the highest.)
Solid ten! Watching “Titanic”? Waterworks. Looking at my daughter sleep? Waterworks. Leaving after visiting my mom? Waterworks. Puppies suffering? Waterworks. I get emotional easily and cry a lot. Especially when I’m angry, but not when I’m sad – at least not openly. I’m weird that way.

What are your family’s plans for Christmas and new year´s eve?
We’re spending Christmas eve at H’s mom’s house and the day after at H’s grandparents’. For new year’s eve we’ve planned a dinner at Villa Thai and then a little get-together and some fireworks at H’s mom’s place 🙂

Do you want to marry with H?
Of course I want to get married to him!

Tell me about yours and H’s relationship – where did you meet, when did you become a couple, when and why did you decide to have a child?
We met 15 years ago when we started school together, we went to the same grade until I moved to Sweden in 2004. We met a couple of times and talked every now and then, but when H quite randomly invited me along to a party in October 2010, we ended up driving back holding hands. We just fell hard for each other.
We decided to have a child on Midsummer’s eve 2011, because that’s when we found out I was pregnant and keeping my legs crossed to keep the baby from coming wasn’t an option. 😀

Have you found your life mission?
My life mission is to try to be loving and lovable enough to keep my family together. Fight for and work on what’s worth having. Make sure the grass is green where it’s watered.
And I never want to be pressured into making choices – I want to do what makes me happy. If studying to be a chef is what I feel will make me genuinely happy, I’m not going to let anyone’s judgement scare me out of it.

VANITY/CLOTHING

How easy/hard was it to get rid of the so called “baby weight”, or did you even have any? What’s your ideal weight?
Honestly? I lost weight during my pregnancy, and then some more when I gave birth. I started off weighing 67-68 kg, dropped to ca 64 when I was nine months pregnant and then weighed 58 after the baby was born. I’m at somewhere around 59 now and I feel great. I should get more fit though, but I’m lazy as hell.

When can we expect your first beauty-themed post/video?
I’ve done a post on my hair {LINK} and will definitely give more tips if I think of any, I’ll gladly show off my pretty products (I’m a “goo hoarder”, in the words of Jenna Marbles’ boyfriend), but I’ll never be a beauty blogger. I think we have too many of those in Estonia and they’re just plain boring (who cares which new cheap-ass eyeshadow palette you got at the supermarket?). I will, however, tell you if I spend a buttload of money on something and find myself a) thinking it was the best money ever spent b) really disappointed.

Which large malls do you go to? How often?
Depends entirely on what I need. If I have money in my pocket that’s screaming: “Spend me! SPEEEEND MEEEE!”, I’ll go to Rocca al Mare. If we need shoes for H, we go to Ülemiste. If I need something pretty to wear, I’ll either go to Kristiine (because a friend of ours works at Monton and has a lovely discount) or someplace that has Mango. If I want to buy clothes for the kid, I either go to Rocca al Mare or Foorum (because those have Polarn o. Pyret). Depends entirely on what we need, Rocca is a favorite though.
What was the last thing you regret buying?
I can’t think of anything but a sheer sleeveless blouse I ordered from Tesco. They delivered a size 16 and I’m so disappointed I wish I never bought it!

Do you use cosmetics each day of the week or do you let your skin rest, too?
I assume you mean decorative cosmetics? I barely use any make-up at all because I’m lazy that way. I love to do my make-up and wear it, but for some reason I’m always in a hurry so I don’t always have time. I maybe wear make-up two or three days a week?

Have you ever considered dying your hair in a lighter shade?
I spent the most of my teens having loooooong platinum blonde hair. After three years it completely ruined my thick, beautiful hair so I gave up being a blonde, even though I always secretly wish I could do it again. Having healthy hair is a priority though, so my blonde days are behind me.

TRIVIA

Who would play you in a movie?
I’d say Mila Kunis, but that’s clearly me flattering myself. A young Shannen Doherty, maybe? I love Shannen Doherty.

What’s your favorite app on your mobile phone?
Wordament! I’m a spelling geek 🙂

What is the wallpaper on your cell phone?
This picture of me and the little lady:
561398_472153279479100_1425664536_n
If you could get paid for doing anything, what would you do?
Anything? I’d be a housewife, spend time with my kid and arrange dinner parties if I really did get paid to do it. Realistically? I’d be a chef 🙂

If you could be the parent of one famous person, who would you want it to be and why?
I’d be Justin Bieber’s mom. Seriously, the kid is so talented and respectful towards his family, I’d be proud out of my mind. Not to mention I’d be rich as hell, haha!

What is your idea of a perfect romantic evening?
Spontaneously going out for dinner with the man I love, laughing, ending up in a food coma and then falling asleep after hours of just talking to my beloved and falling asleep in his arms.

You guys have been VERY curious and since there’s still a ton of questions left, I’m dividing the answers into three parts in stead. Enjoy! 🙂

PERSONAL/RELATIONSHIPS

Do you miss anything about Sweden?
I miss having my mother around, especially now that she’s the grandmother of my beautiful daughter. What else? Making good money and spending it on the pretty things (who am I kidding, I obviously mean clothes and shoes) they don’t sell here. Oh and my friends, of course. And Stockholm, it’s such a lovely city. What do you know – I miss Sweden more than I realized! Although I bet there’s more I don’t miss…

Quitting smoking – cold turkey or slowly reducing the use?
Cold turkey, for sure (at least that’s how I did it when I found out I was pregnant). I’ve heard people say that it’s better for your body if you slowly reduce the use of nicotine because your body’s grown addicted to it, but I think smoking is more of an emotional and social thing. You just have to cut the cord and decide – I’m done. Otherwise you’ll just relapse because it’s so easy to just have “one more”.

What do you guys do for a living?
I’m a full-time mom and H makes sure the police, military and rescue services are equipped with the latest technology.

What is the best part of living in Estonia and what are your favorite places there?
In comparison to the all-liberal Sweden where everyone is equal and allowed to be “themselves”, people actually are genuine and honest here in Estonia. Swedes are polite and politically correct to the point where everyone proudly wears a fake smile and everyone is friends with everyone. Sh*t never gets real in Sweden. I think people are a lot better at taking responsibility and being respectful here, which makes Estonians a lot easier to cooperate and make friends with (plus Estonians can hold their liquor, which can’t be said about Swedes).
My absolute favorite places in Estonia are Otepää (because I had a lot of fun there with great people in my teens, hence the awesome memories) and Tartu (again, lots of stuff to be nostalgic about, it’s a magical town with amazing people). If I was going to buy a house anywhere but Tallinn, it would be Haapsalu (and H agrees). It’s a small (but no too small) town and a great place, I imagine, to raise your children and because it’s so close to Tallinn, it wouldn’t have to interfere too much with anyone’s career choices.READ MORE

First of all – thank you all for your kind words and really interesting questions! I had a lot of fun answering them and since there are so many of them, I decided to break them into two parts. Otherwise you’ll just be bored out of your minds before you finish reading! Here we go, I hope my answers are what you had in mind, if not – let me know!

PERSONAL/RELATIONSHIPS

Have you considered studying something at a university? When the kid is a bit bigger and there’s more time? What would you want to study?
I sure have! I’ve thought long and hard to come up with the best possible plan for my future to not be committed to something I’m not passionate about. That’s why I’ve decided to start by studying to be a pastry chef. Then I’m going to want to pursue university studies and I’m considering studying languages. Not sure which yet, though!

What do you miss at the moment?
My mommy. I’m such a mama’s girl and I wish we could see her more often. I wish I had a family to gather around the table with at Christmas, but we haven’t had that since my beloved grandmother died. Luckily I can borrow H’s awesome family, they all welcome me with open arms. 🙂

Does H work in Estonia?
Yes, he does.

Have you ever been too depressed to move out of your bed?
Oh hells yes. Having back my joie de vivre is such a blessing, in comparison to never wanting to see anyone or do anything ever again.

Ask-ask-ask away!

December 11, 2012~ küsimused & vastused, sildita

You guys aren’t forgetting we have a little project going on {LINK } where you ask me questions and I put together a post answering them? You have until midnight tomorrow to ask me all of your questions so I can start answering them on Thursday.
There are a lot of really fun and interesting questions already so I decided I’d give you one of you guys a reeeally nice Christmas present to say thanks and give back a little. But more on that on Thursday – now go on, take the opportunity and ask me some more questions!

Open mic night: You have until Wednesday to ask me anything you like!

December 6, 2012~ küsimused & vastused, sildita

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think a healthy amount of curiosity has ever done anyone any harm (not even cats!). And since I’m pretty much out of ideas to post, why don’t we have an open mic and let you guys have a go at asking me questions?

You can ask anything you like: whether you’re curious about my lifestyle choices, want cooking tips, a closer look into my home or a glance at my wardrobe or beauty products – just be creative and be curious, this is the time to ask away 🙂 Be done by Wednesday and I’ll answer all the questions in one post as soon as possible!

P.S. It’s completely okay to remain anonymous, but please remember – this is not only my personal blog, it also concerns my family and my child. I will be completely honest and transparent, but in return I expect you guys to show respect. I’m not a fan of censorship, but if it’s a comment I feel disrespects my family’s right to privacy, I’ll gladly erase it!
P.P.S. Just as always, it’s perfectly fine to ask your question in any language you like. I’ll post the answers in English, though!

Go ahead, guys – shoot!
