To lift my Christmas Spirit I watched a few Christmas films last weekend and decided to share my favourites with you! :)
The Fab 5 | Disney Classics
Wednesday, 15 April 2015
Whenever I'm sick, feeling down or just need a little relaxation session, I love watching Disney classics. They're just those kind of films that you can watch over a hundred times and you still don't get bored of them. Also you can just watch them without having to think what is happening and they always get you in a better mood.
And surprise surprise, the flu has taken over my body again - great timing as I'm leaving to the US this weekend - so I thought I'd share my top 5 Disney classics with you all!

Best of 2014
Saturday, 31 January 2015
2014 was a weird year for me, it had it's ups and downs. Also I got a lot more into makeup and finally started my very own blog!
Now let's get into my favourite things of 2014!
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 105 (discontinued) - I don't use this as much anymore as I've been trying out other foundations because this shade got discontinued but I used to love this foundation! I'd say it's a medium coverage and gives a very nice finish.
Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer in 010 Ivory (full review) - No idea why this product isn't in the picture, sorry about that. Anyway,
Lumene Sheer Finish loose powder - I've been using this powder ever since I started using powder and I think it's the best loose powder. It doesn't feel on the skin at all and it helps to keep your makeup on place all day.
Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder in 51 - This is my holy grail bronzer. It's so good for contouring and bronzing up your face. There isn't literally a single thing I don't like about this bronzer.
Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara - The only mascara I can use on my bottom lashes - other than waterproof mascaras - that doesn't make me look like a panda. The brush is super tiny and you can use it on your upper lashes too.
Makeup Revolution #Liphug lipstick in "When you came to me" - My go to lipstick of the year. It's a nude shade with a hint of pink on it. The consistency is a bit creamy and it stays on the lips for so long.
Real Techniques Blush Brush - This brush is just so fluffy and lovely. You can use it for blusher, bronzer, powder etc and it's just amazing.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Squeaky-Clean Scrub - This cleanses my skin so well and my skin feels extremely smooth after using this. It really helps to sort out breakouts.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ - This product has lasted me for so long even though I've been using it for about 6 months! It decreases redness and helps with all the blemishes and annoying things like that.
Four Reasons Hair Powder - This stuff is amazing if your hair tends to get oily easily and you don't want/have time to go to the shower in the morning. It gives you volume, makes your hair look all fresh and clean and also keeps it in place a bit so you don't necessarily have to use hairspray. I actually talked about this in my Empties #2 post too.
Tiger White nail polish in 58 - I just had to include this nail polish as it has been my go to nail polish shade if I couldn't decide what colour to go for. It's only 1€ and it's so easy to apply plus it dries super quickly.
Music
Songs:
• John Martin - Anywhere For You
• Becky G - Shower
• Becky G - Can't Get Enough
• Becky G - Can't Stop Dancing
Album: One Direction - Four
Films
Divergent - I was actually supposed to read the book before watching this film but then my best friend had it and we watched it but now I really want to read the book even more because usually if I like the film I like the book even more! So I can't wait to do that.
Maleficent - Angelina Jolie is just so good in this film I can't even tell you. I prefer this 100% over the original Sleeping Beauty which is kind of scary because it's one of my favourite films.
Series
The Originals - I'm a huge fan of the Vampire Diaries but I feel like since season 4 it has gotten a bit weird even though I still like to watch it. Anyway, I was so excited when I found out that they're going to make a series about the originals because I think they're the most interesting vampires and even if you don't like the Vampire Diaries, I'd say just give this a go and see if it interests you!
Reign - I've always loved everything about history and especially historical films and tv shows. Reign is definitely one of the best ones even though I'm not sure if it actually follows how everything really went.

The Harry Potter Tag
Friday, 24 October 2014
Happy friday everyone!
Today I'm going to answer some questions about one of my favourite things ever, Harry Potter.
I think the Harry Potter fanbase is the first one I've ever been in and I'm still a big Potterhead. It's also something that is kind of mine and my sister Renata's thing. She is a huge fan of Harry Potter too and the picture is actually of the Timeturner copy I got her as a present. I've got a piece of HP mercy myself, a copy of Harry's wand. It's absolutely gorgeous!
But before I blabber any more, let's see the questions...
1. What is your favourite book?
Definitely the Deathly Hallows. It's so much more detailed as a book and the first time I saw the movie I found it a bit confusing even though I had read the book many times before that.
2. What is your favourite film?
I'd probably say the Order of the Phoenix. I think that's where the battle against Lord Voldemort kind of starts since he changed back to human (or whatever you can say he is with that nose and all, haha) at the end of the Goblet of Fire.3. What is your least favourite book?
The Chamber of Secrets. I really don't know why... It just is.
4. What is your least favourite film?
4. What is your least favourite film?
Maybe the Goblet of Fire. Maybe it's just the fact that I've seen it more than any of the other films. Or then it's because it's so different to other movies with the Triwizard Tournament and all.
5. Which parts of the books/films made you cry?
5. Which parts of the books/films made you cry?
When Dobby died. I think I've never cried that much in my life because of a part of a book/movie. Even the Fault In Our Stars didn't make me cry as much.
6. If you could hook up with any character who would it be?
6. If you could hook up with any character who would it be?
I've always had a soft spot for Ron. Even though in the first movies he could be annoying and a bit dumb, I still liked him.
7. Who is your favourite character?
7. Who is your favourite character?
Luna Lovegood. I adore how she can see good in absolutely everything and is so nice to everyone.
8. Who is your least favourite character?
8. Who is your least favourite character?
My least favourite character is definitely Rita Skeeter. I think that's enough said if you've seen any of the movies or read any of the books she's in.
9. What is your least favourite line?
I don't think I have one.
10. What would your Patronus be?
I'm not quite sure if it's actually a Patronus but I really think mine would be a dolphin. I have always loved water and I just think it would really be a good Patronus of mine.
11. If you could have the invisibility cloak, resurrection stone or elder wand, which would you choose?
Invisibility cloak. It would be amazing to turn invisible whenever I wanted with just a help of the cloak. I could go ANYWHERE.
12. What house would you be in?
12. What house would you be in?
I actually took a couple of quizzes for this question! All the links and answers are below.
What Hogwarts House are you - Hufflepuff
What Hogwarts House Do You Belong In - Gryffindor
Hogwarts Sorting Hat Quiz Pottermore style - Hufflepuff
So I guess I'm a Hufflepuff then!
13. If you could meet any member of the cast who would it be?
13. If you could meet any member of the cast who would it be?
John Hurt aka Garrick Ollivander the wandmaker. I have always found him a very interesting character and I'd love to know what it was like to be him in the movies!
14. If you were on the Quidditch team, what position would you play?
14. If you were on the Quidditch team, what position would you play?
Again I took a quiz on this. I would say that I'd want to be a keeper or a chaser. And according to this quiz I'm a keeper!
15. Were you happy with the ending?
15. Were you happy with the ending?
I'm not sure. I think it really didn't need the "nineteen years later" part. I also liked the end before that in the book a lot more than in the movie. I don't understand why they made it so different.
16. How much does Harry Potter mean to you?
Well even though the first book came out a year before I was even born and the movie when I was three years old, I can still pretty much say that Harry Potter was my childhood. They were the first movies I watched when I could read properly (we had a translation from English to Finnish because I couldn't understand English well back then) which was probably at the age of 5 or 6. Also the books were the first "bigger" books I read. And when I went to school, me and my two best friends would play Harry Potter ALL the time. If you like Harry Potter too, I tag you to do this tag! If you do, please leave me a link below. I love reading tags!

My Current Random Favourites
Wednesday, 15 October 2014
Only now, in the middle of October, I realised that even though I blog mostly about beauty and fashion I can write about anything I want really, right? That's what blogging is about after all - telling other people about what you love, sharing your interests and communicating with people who enjoy the same things as you do.
Now I'm going to let you know a couple things I've been loving so far this Autumn. You'll probably find some of these weird or funny (don't worry I did at first too) but I'm going to share them with you anyway and if you're having a bad day maybe this will help you find something to cheer yourself up!
This movie is just WOW. I've seen it probably ten times already and I can't stop watching it. I think I even prefer it over Sleeping Beauty which I think says a lot!
The Nanny
I feel like ever since the weather started getting colder my nose has been running, I've had fever or my throat has been sore. That also means I've been relaxing a bit more than usual which leads to watching TV. Unfortunately there's no good series in the Finnish TV other than Once Upon a Time and the Originals which both air on the weekend. Luckily there's always Netflix and I've really been enjoying the Nanny. It's one of my favourite all time shows and it really helps your mind relax.
When you've caught a cold you usually want to drink something warm and in my case it can't be coffee because I only like Starbucks' coffee and the nearest one is almost three hours away (sobs) and I only like to drink tea in the morning - it just doesn't taste right after I've been up for a couple of hours. So almost the only thing left is hot chocolate. This particular Swiss Miss hot chocolate is so amazing! The package has 8 packs and each of them has two bags attached together, the other one has the cocoa powder and the other one contains the cute and tiny marshmallows. It's pretty sweet though so instead of mixing the powder with 6 oz of milk or water I mix it with 12 and voilà, chocolate heaven in a cup!

| Doesn't it look yummy?! |
I don't even know... I've just been eating it all the time and with everything. With meat, chicken, vegetables, on it's own and with ketchup (I really hope I'm not the only one who does that). It's just so good!
