Current aims

Some time ago when I was feeling completely useless I started to think whether I have any aims in my life. I found out that, actually, I have many of them ! I do have pretty ambitious, thoughtful and great aims but I thought that I could share some not so serious ones with you ~ 

They are:

...to find a perfect blusher
I've been looking for one for ages ! I don't understand how it's so difficult to find a very, very fair pink blusher with a reasonable price. Like an impossible mission.


...to get a fairer, pretty skin
I'm naturally darker than an average Finn. I've been trying to get fairer for a few years now and I'm satisfied only with my face and legs even they could be fairer too. Summers weren't that big problems a couple of years ago because I felt comfortable only in jeans but I love shorts, skirts etc. nowadays so.. To put it bluntly, this summer will be a pain in ass ! I tan very easily -I made the mistake of sunbathing with my friend for 3,5 hours last summer and tanned more than she had in almost a month. I've been thinking that I should try whitening products but we'll see.


...to get more social
I used to be very social but I became very shy and socially awkward when I got depressed. I'm still shy but I'm trying hard to fix that problem.
 

...to learn to do more awesome nails
Lots of practice and it will be possible ~ ☆


...to get more active
After I stopped practicing athletics, I became very unactive. Nowadays I'm more active again and do things more often but I feel that it isn't enough. I want to be even more on the go ! And spend less time on computer.. :P


...to lose more weight
I've already lost some but it isn't enough. There's still a lot to lose ! I just want to be able to wear whatever I want without worrying about my body.


...to fill my wardrobe with colours
I always feel I have nothing colourful to wear and if I have, I've worn the clothes at least million times in a row. My current favourite colours in clothing are pastel colours, blue, yellow and turquoise (and white and brown!) ~


...to get motivated to study
I'm so fed up with school these days - I NEED HOLIDAY ! This year's last exams will begin on Tuesday so I should brace myself and succeed in the exams. Wish me luck!


Do you have any aims in your life at the moment?

Sunshine lover's perfect day

Today's day off was blessed with a perfect weather ! Aino, Johni and I decided to spend it by hanging around, eating ice cream and having nice time. I had fun and all in all, the day has been perfect despite the fact that wind ruined my hair

Since it was something like +25°C, warmer than in ages, I didn't want to wear jeans but something summerish. Luckily I had something that covered all my injuries ! I crashed to the ground on Monday when I was playing basketball and I had fallen in the same way on Sunday as well when I tried to save my granny when she was falling. So I have a bruise as big as my fist under my knee and a bloody elbow -I don't want to show them to everybody! I had to go to hospital too because I hurt my hand (thank god it was left) so bad that I couldn't do anything with it. Luckily it's healed well already ^^

 
I solved my problem with the maxi dress I bought a while ago and a blouse ~ And no injuries can be seen, haha ! I love the dress a lot I only wish I could take better photos of myself :-: 


I also re-dyed my hair since the colour had faded so much. It looks very different in different lightings so don't wonder if it looks like my hair colour changes all the time in the short run. The colour didn't turn out the way I had expected either but I like it a lot again. Happy girl is happy !

GEO XTRA WBS-204

Today I'm reviewing GEO XTRA WBS-204 lenses from GEO Bella series. The lenses are sponsored by geocolouredlenses.com but note that it doesn't have any effect on my opinions. I want to share my 100% honest opinion, sponsored or not ^^


I was very satisfied when the lenses arrived. The last two times when I ordered lenses, it took at least a month for the (right) lenses to arrive. This time it should have taken 7-21 days but I got them in just five days ! And unlike last time, I got a lens case as well. Super satisfied !


The diameter of these lenses is 15.0mm and they enlarge my eyes nicely. And I find them really comfortable ! They do get a bit dry after 4-6 hours of wear like most of lenses but because they don't feel that uncomfortable, I can wear them for longer with ease.

What I don't like is that the brown colour doesn't have a lot of pigment so it doesn't cover my real eye colour well enough. But when you don't look closely, they look quite natural which I aimed for when I chose these lenses. Pssst, remember that my natural doesn't necessarily mean really natural XD


Overall I like these lenses a lot ! They make my eyes look dolly and the colour fades to my own eye colour so they're not too obvious ~

I have good news to you as well ~ You'll get 10% off of your order on geocolouredlenses.com with discount code digitalneverland10

There are even more great deals ! They offer free standard shipping when you order 1-5 pairs of lenses and free express shipping when you order 6 pairs or more. They also sell authentic GEO lenses (also with corrective power) with reasonable prices. To put it bluntly, you have a chance to save a lot of money when buying circle lenses ~

White x pink deco nails

I've been looking a lot of pictures of wedding/bridal nails and got very inspired of them. I was so excited when I started to do them that I realized that I don't have any necessities for them only afterwards :') I had to change my plans and this is the result.



It's fun to do deco nails, actually. There are loads of details in them and you don't need to put a lot of effort in doing them, unlike if you're doing details with nail polish. It's very simple, if you ask me !


What you'll need for these nails:
1. Nail Glue
2. Base coat
3. Top Coat
4. White nail polish, preferably one with metallic glow
5. Clear nail polish
6. Pink glitter dust
7. Tweezers
8. Rhinestones and (/or) pearl in different sizes


Add base coat and white nail polish. You can cover the whole nail even I didn't because I had other plans in the beginning.


Use clear nail polish to add glitter powder to some of your nails. Do also add top coat at this point to get a sleek coating to your nails. The amount of coats depends on how much glitter powder you've used.




The fun part where the best thing is that THERE ARE NO RULES. Just add glue to the part you'd like to add a decoration and add it there by using tweezers. Start with the biggest ones and add the smaller ones after that. Everything can be done just RANDOMLY ! So frigging easy that anyone can do it ~ ☆

Finish by adding a thin coat of clear nail polish (top coat makes rhinestones mat so they won't sparkle at all, so does a thick coat of clear nail polish)


Here are more details. Heh, my nails match perfectly with my phone, don't you think? :P

Did I manage to make it seem as easy as it really is? I hope that I did !

Last weekend

How did your May Day's celebration go? ~ I didn't do anything special, I just met up with a few friends of mine, had a movie night with Aino, gormandized with my aunt and tried to do some school work. It was nice anyway (except the school things) ! And at least my bike didn't get stolen like last year.. :__)

Anyway, I got an opportunity to go to Helsinki half free last weekend ! It had been over a year since I'd been there for the last time.. It was so green and nice there that I wouldn't had wanted to come back ;O; 

I traveled there with Aino and stayed at Henni's place ~ So much nostalgia ! 

 With Aino and Elmo 

I have only a couple of pictures to share since we concentrated on having fun and derping. And at least I enjoyed the great weather there ! I miss it a lot already.

Annyeong!Party VIII was held on Saturday and we had decided to check it out. Aaand it was.. pretty lame so we left early. I do like only few of k-pop groups but it's not just that, I wasn't in the right mood for that. Well, there's nothing I can do about it ! At least I met Maria and Pontus there ~ 

 The only photo where I looked normal :D

All in all, it was nice a nice trip ! I got to see my lovely friends and relax a bit. What else can I hope for?
 
By the way, don't wonder if I don't answer to some of your comments ! I do see them all on my e-mail but for some reason blogger kind of eats some of the comments and doesn't show them on the posts D: It has happened to seven comments already, so annoying !
