  • Autumn is my favourite time of year, the colours match my hair and my favourite lipsticks. I’ve been so excited for the last month to get all my boots and jumpers out of summer hibernation and have really enjoyed layering away. Totally missed my @rh_studio magic sweater, my favourite @vagabondshoemakers Boots and all that other good stuff. Can’t wait for more autumn (what’s up with the summer temperatures coming this weekend?!). . It’s been a strange week on my end and I kinda forgot Instagram along the way because, well, life and everything. I’ve been enjoying the work on my feed so much and it’s really fun to play around with it again! . Thanks for the lovely photo yet again, dear @shelivesherdream!
  • Good morning #myhelsinki ❤️
  • Keeping up appearances - especially in my professional life, is something I have thought about a lot lately. 2,5 years ago I went from red to blonde hair, and people told me I gave away my brand. For some time I refused to believe that because it felt silly to define myself and my work image through something superficial as my hair. I still think that. However, I went back to red eventually because it also just felt more like me, even though I’m actually quite blonde naturally. I’ve been playing around with different shades and settled on this strawberry blonde as the perfect mix of both worlds, that makes me feel confident and comfortable, and real. Today I got some hair magic from @urbanjunglelaura for an interesting project tomorrow, so I wanted to make sure I feel at the top of my game. And as she wisely said, it’s not a superficial thing if your confidence comes from within in the end after all. And there’s no shame in wanting to look your best either 😊 .

  • Goooood morning! Let me brighten your day by introducing my dear friend and sunshine @alexalexgalaxy ☀️ We only got to know each other really during the last couple of months, but I knew from the beginning on that this one is a treasure. I mean. Look at that smile! Her presence gives me instant joy and inspiration, and her spirit is absolutely contagious. She’s a true professional in video and photo production (currently she’s taking Paris over by storm!) and an amazing stage and event hostess. I’m so excited that we connected and got to share all there is about happiness and work worries, moments of pride and love (and everything else) and support each other throughout the daily hustle - preferably over grilled cheese breakfasts. . Thank you @jennsandstrom for snapping this glorious photo!
  • The woods make me happy ❤️this was the other weekend in Sipoo National Park, which you can easily reach within an hour from Helsinki. Check out the whole picture on my #collagefeed @luminoucity :)
  • Happy Saturday! These little guys are preparing for winter and they’re going literally nuts at the moment. Last weekend, we spent a good two hours sitting in the woods feeling like Snow White, being surrounded by friendly birds and curious squirrels. Magical.
  • ALMOST WEEKEND! Where are you heading? I’m craving for some forest and nature trails, so we’re gonna head over to the other side of the city to Kivinokka for a walk tomorrow. Maybe we’ll have some more luck with mushrooms this time, as the other weekend in Sipoo we weren’t so successful, definitely have to step up the mushroom game over here 🙄
  • This is such a great and real snapshot of the daily hussle - and I want you all to meet my girl @veerabianca who has been a part of this journey for like 3 years? Funny thing is, that neither of us really remembers how we met but we’re pretty sure there was wine involved. It somehow started with projects we were both part of and we built a friendship out of this that I don’t wanna miss one day. This lady is not only a social media wizard and educator and a great photographer, she also gives great hugs. I’m so happy to be surrounded by people like Veera who bring so much inspiration and fun to my life, and she’s the best example of why working with friends is a super thing. I feel like there’s so much understanding and support in relationships that stretch from business to pleasure, which I feel is a really undervalued perk of what often comes with entrepreneurship. Can’t wait for more G&T dates, w(h)ine, random office situations like this and amazingly cool things we’ll get to run together. Hug now?
  • Good morning! Here’s something to remember sometimes. The whole photo in context ➡️@luminoucity #collagefeed
  • Home office days! I like my home, I like to work from here. Especially when I have calls scheduled or Skype sessions with clients, it makes it easier to know I have a stable connection, I’m not disturbing anyone or blocking a room or phone booth. Also my coffee machine is just over there. But then again, so is the sofa for accidental naps. Working from home can be super great, but I need to know what I have on my schedule that day. Regular work days can be very unproductive at home, for those I prefer co-working spaces or cafés. But for peace and quiet or when I’m feeling a bit under the weather like today, my home office is super. Whole photo on my #collagefeed @luminoucity :)
  • Happy Monday! I felt a bit sick on Friday, so I tried to kill it by staying on the sofa with my work bits, and managed to feel great on the weekend. Today I’m back in business and craving breakfast from @antonanton_ruokakauppa for my work date at @spacesworks Bulevardi. More about the co-working office on the blog. But for now, let’s get this week going!
  • So in the last weeks I’ve struggled a lot with getting motivated and being productive. Some work things didn’t go the way I had hoped and planned and that was quite discouraging, to be honest. I spent hours staring at my laptop but not getting anything done and that’s totally the opposite of helping to solve the situation! It’s funny how I always try to be the one to push people to get stuff done but once you’re in a proper rut it takes more than just words. Today I feel much better after a couple of really good days. It helps to surround yourself with people that are like-minded, who understand you and who give you hugs and listen to you whine. Who understand that in these moments also small accomplishments seem like a victory and that most of all it can really take some time to get back on track. Some of my plans I just didn’t manage to go through with in the last weeks, but I feel like I’m on the right path again. I’ll introduce you to some of the amazing people around me in the next days and I can’t wait for you to meet them because they’re the bestest. Have a super day now! Let’s be awesome.
