  • Good morning from me with what’s probably one of my favourite photos I took this year! While leaning in to get the shot, I just carefully stepped on the edge of the ice on the beach of Töölönlahti with my left foot and broke right through, so I dunked my foot real well. Nothing happened and I could laugh it off, but I still felt like such an idiot. Anywho, this morning the snow came back for us yet again, so we’re officially deep into taka-talvi over here in Helsinki. Have a grand day!
  • Töölönlahti definitely deserves a proper presentation of this feed because it is a place so close to my heart - so go check the whole image over on @luminoucity. When I used to live further out the city, I’d always skip a few stops on the bus from the centre and catch it at the opera instead, so I could clear my head on a walk by the bay. Later on, I lived right by the side of Töölönlahti with a stunning view from the 5th floor - which I’m so grateful for and will never forget. That view inspired me to so many things and even though I’m in a great place right now, I do miss the feel of living in a place like that sometimes. In the winter Helsinki glows around the bay, I’ve made snow angels during winter nights in the middle of frozen Töölönlahti, I’ve spent the best sunny summer afternoons around it, had the best coffees and treats with views from the one side of the pier on the other - I think you get the jist. This place is filled with thoroughly happy memories. Love it. . Also there’s always these funny flicks of ducks and crazy ice fishers to observe. Good times. . What’s your happy Helsinki place?
  • Hallo! Long time no see over here. I’m not sure why I’ve been away and quiet but actually I know exactly why. And it got me thinking again about how we portray our daily life on the interwebs, because it's not all fun and exciting. Basically I found myself in a total dry spill regarding work things, with a lot of things kinda in the works and brewing, requiring attention but no immediate action, I suddenly felt like I was stuck again. Last September, I was in a really dark place for a couple of weeks because nothing seemed to move forward - things did pick up, yes, and I knew they would do now as well, but it took longer than I thought. And then I fled to Iceland and Stockholm for a week and stopped thinking. But in those moments the first thing I ignore is Instagram, so even though I had cool content ready to go - I just froze. In a way, it was good and necessary, but it's also a bit annoying after a good run over here. But now I have my shit together for the next weeks, some exciting things planned and I am ready to tackle this. So here's a photo of my favourite Töölönlahti, which is always my happy place.

  • Remember that you’re never too old for anything! Especially not for super fun things. A couple of weeks ago I organised a trip for some winter activities for a client group and it gave me to much joy to see a bunch of proper grownups having just as much fun in the snow as the children that were in the group. I for once couldn’t even remember when I was in a “pulkka” sled the last time! Yesterday @flyingsharkbear and I went to a science museum and we were pretty much the only adults there without a kid. And it was great! So just remember that in the end, age is just a number. . See more from our winter visit to @nuuksiosma on my feed with the whole winter collage! . Photos by @flyingsharkbear
  • Another one of my favourite shots of the little reindeer at @nuuksiosma from a few weeks ago. It’s one of my favourite places in southern Finland and I’m happy that I get to share it with people. Any outdoor activity is just topped by sipping coffee in the kota and meeting these little guys, who are the only reindeer in the south of Finland! Did I mention THE NOSES . See the whole photo collage on my feed @luminoucity!
  • Winterfun a couple of weeks ago at @nuuksiosma - we went snowshoeing and downhill sledding which was so great. A nature escape to he National Park is such a fun day trip to take and there are many cool things you can do with a group as well, in case you need ideas for the weekend! (More reindeer photos coming soon)
  • Reindeer have the cutest little slightly stupid faces. They are just my favourite. I had so much joy in sorting through these photos from the other weekend at @nuuksiosma! 😻😻😻
  • Dear friends, let me introduce you to an upcoming series of my favourite photos - of these adorably funny silly little reindeer sweethearts we met at @nuuksiosma just over a week ago. DON’T YOU JUST WANNA HUG IT ALL DAY?? LOOK AT THAT FLUFFY NOSE! ❤️❤️❤️
  • Friday is mocktail day 💃 🍹 feel like something fresh and delicious that won’t give you a headache the next morning, move on from sugary sodas and find places that offer proper drinks for those who prefer the non-alcoholic options (like @americanbartorni). Also these days I’m legit scared of hangovers because they make me feel like a turd and also they last what feels like ca. 5 weeks. It’s true what they say, pushing 30 and your fears change. . Thank you @sunday_blondie for the lovely photo 😻 . Yhteistyössä / Ad: Raflaamo / Sokotel Oy . #mymocktailmoment
  • Today it’s friends day! #ystävänpäivä is the Finnish way to celebrate the people in your life. They were way ahead before Galentine’s and Palentine’s day became a thing. One nice way to spend time together and to toast to your friendships is by making some delicious mocktails - so I thought I’d share my favourite recipe with you guys. I learned how to make this at @americanbartorni - where you can get delicious alcohol-free drinks that are perfect for occasions like today 😻There’s more about this experience on the blog over on luminoucity.net - so head over there and check it out! .

  • Oh boy was I having a bad morning! Starting with silly dreams of arguments and missing boats to Stockholm, running out of oat milk for coffee, running out of breakfast porridge, being very confused with some client business and I was just so forking tired, what’s happening! Mainly I’m hangry and whiny because of it. But there’s some pretty snowflakes outside and it looks nicer again so that’s that. Hope you’re all having a better start into this fine Wednesday my friends. . 📸 @flyingsharkbear
