"Sometimes the cure for restlessness is rest."

The quote of the title is something I've been obeying this weekend. I'm a pretty restless person, always scheduling in my head and worrying of not being effective enough. I'm making an effort to obsess less and instead live in the moment. Life is now, not in the past or future. A good mantra to keep in mind :)

It is incredible how much the weather can affect in your mood and energy level. I have enjoyed the endless sunbath that Southern Finland has offered us this weekend by power walking, skiing and lazily sitting on the terrace, both in Helsinki and Espoo.

Raclette Wednesday - luxury!

Feeling grateful of my neighborhoods...

Incredible skiing "track" today at the ice

Friday night salad (+ wine and chocolate) dinner with lovely girls <3

Wishing everyone a great week <3

Perfect Sunday morning

Sun, breakfast at the patio, and my favorite newspaper, could it get any better.. ;)

Happy Sunday! <3

Luxury is....

... to take a massage in the middle of your working day.

 It is exactly what I just did. Not a bad way to start your week, I recommend to everyone who have to sit 8 hours a day!

Summer is not over

Good evening :)

The amazing weather has kept me away from the gym and yoga, and instead i've been enjoying the sunny evenings with friends here and there ;-) Yesterday we met up with girls after work, bougth some strawberries and drinks and had a picnic at Esplanadi park, followed by salads at Teatteri. We had to say goodbye, for now, to Tuumi as she flew this morning back to Sweden, where she lives. I'm gonna miss you <3

This evening I have been active ;-) Just returned from a loooong power walk with Louna and Aino , this time we walked along the shorelines of Töölö, it was so beautiful and peaceful there!

My power walk look :-D

Now I'm enjoying a snack of yogurt, blueberries, banana, coconut flakes and cocoa nibs, yummy.

My latest obsession:

Sooo good!! You can eat it with anything, I'm right now having it with rye bread. My other new obsessions are nectarines, I've had an entire box of them today.. As well as fresh dates, I bought a 600g package from Kamppi Supermarket yesterday, so damn good! But the big package is definitely deceptive ;-)

Now I'm getting ready for weekend, which starts tomorrow immediately after work day is over :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Working week

Hi :) What's up?

My week so been nothing but normal so far, filled with with work, followed yoga classes on Monday and Tuesday. I'm so happy to make it a routine again after a summer break:) Yesterday we took a long evening walk along coastlines of Hakaniemi with a friend of mine, Karla. I was excited to discover a lot of new places as I don't often wander in these neighborhoods :)

I've been extremely lazy photographing, not to mention that my outfits are not worth of showing as I honestly pick up the first clothes that come to my hand in the morning ;D So here are few pictures of one the best days of the summer, the graduation day (not mine but several of my close ones;):

Here is how my breakfast has looked this week :-D Looks suspicious but delicious: a lot of redcurrants, yogurt, banana, squash seeds and buckwheat.

How has your week been so far?

Xx <3
