Christmas songs are essential when wrapping presents, decorating, getting ready for a Christmas party, baking gingerbread cookies... basically everything Christmas related! They make everything feel so much more festive and I'm even listening to my playlist while writing this post. I thought I'd share a few of my absolute favourite Christmas songs with you that I think should be found from your playlist as well! After all, "the best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear."

March Playlist
Sunday, 20 March 2016
I love music - who doesn't? That why I create a new playlist for every month on Spotify so I can look back and see what kind of music I've liked and when. This month I've found myself listening to Spotify even more than usual: first thing in the morning, when I'm having breakfast, during a movie, in the shower, before bed.... And I've found some amazing songs, some old, some new, some I've never heard before and some favourites that I've just been enjoying this month more than before!
I keep adding songs to my playlist throughout the month so if you like the playlist below make sure to follow it so you can stay updated! I hope you enjoy the songs I've been loving so far this month :)

Playlist | Valentine's Day with Your BFF
Thursday, 12 February 2015
Before I get started, here's a fun fact: Valentine's Day in Finland is actually called "Ystävänpäivä" which from word to word means "Friend's Day". It still has the exact same meaning though, the name is just different :).
Hope you enjoy!
Oath - Cher Lloyd
This is a really girly and fun song about best friends and they getting in trouble together but always having each others backs.
Umbrella - Rihanna
I actually just realised it a couple days ago that this song is a suitable friendship song. I have always known the words correctly etc for this song but never really thought about the meaning before.
Count On Me - Bruno Mars
"You can count on me like 1, 2, 3 I'll be there. And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4, 3, 2 you'll be there. Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah." Do i really need to say more about this song?
Always Be Together - Little Mix
This song is a bit like the Cher Lloyd one but it has more of a sad and meaningful tone in it.
I'll Be There For You - The Rembrandts
This one's a classic. If you've ever seen even one episode of Friends this will probably be playing in your head for the rest of the day!
You've Got a Friend In Me - Toy Story (Randy Newman)
As a Disney fan I had to include this song to the list! I just love the lyrics and I feel like this song makes all your worries go away.
You can listen the whole playlist here or below!
How are you going to spend your Valentine's Day?

Best of 2014
Saturday, 31 January 2015
I can't believe 2014 is long over and it's already the end of 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!
Makeup
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.
Skincare
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.
Hair
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.
Nails
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.

What I Got for Christmas 2014
Thursday, 29 January 2015
I'm back, with an extremely late post I'm afraid. I was meant to post this a long time ago but due to my writer's block and an event in my life I haven't been able to.
Anyway, I like reading these kinds of posts so I though why not write one myself? It's also one of my favourite YouTube videos to watch as I'm very nosey and love hauls etc ;).

December Favourites
Thursday, 8 January 2015
The lighting has been ridiculously bad and because I still have to use my phone when taking pictures it's even more important than usually. Finally, here are my December favourites:
Beauty
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 52 Vanilla - Ever since I bought this foundation it's the only one I've been using. It's also the perfect colour for me which I was very scared about since I had to order this online. The coverage is light to medium but buildable.
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch in 01 Ivory - I bought this concealer last Summer but didn't like it at first that much. I was tidying my drawer one day and decided to try this under my eyes and it worked perfectly! Since then it's been a life saver if my dark circles have been extremely bad. It's very creamy and blends easily.
Makeup Revolution Ultra Brow Arch & Shape in Dark - This brow product has been my favourite since November actually but back then I hadn't used it for that long so it only made it to my favourites in December. If you've tried the Soap & Glory Brow Tint & Precision pen then you now what this product is about. In my opinion it's exactly the same but cheaper version. If you want to know more about this product then stay tuned for a review in the near future :).
Depend Nail Polish in 045 - In my opinion gold and glitter go perfectly with anything festive so this nail polish was my huge favourite for the whole month of December.
Other
Deliciously Ella - My sister Anetta has a very healthy lifestyle and she informed me about paleo and Ella's blog. I haven't changed my diet but I've really enjoyed trying out different recipes by Ella (especially the smoothies) and so far I've loved them all.
Teen Wolf - When season 4 ended I started to watch Teen Wolf from the start and if I wanted to watch something it would always be this show.
Where Do Broken Hearts Go - One Direction - If I had to choose one song that I've played on repeat then this would definitely be at the top of the list! If I felt like listening to some music this would be the first song I'd play.
