Well that took a while, to open this blog and finish these damn posts. I have had some pretty lazy days after returning to Finland, as traveling is exhausting! I have been trying to get over those vacation-blues but I just want to go back already. That is why I have not felt like going trough all the pics. But here it is, my thoughts on Paris. Be ready to scroll - <i>just a few</i> pics ahead(as I have the worst memory ever so I wanted to make sure to remember how pretty this place is!)</div>

My second day in Paris started off early and full off energy. I had a list of what to see during the day and I even made this little map for myself, you definitely won't get lost with this one lol :-D</div>

The plan was to be a full-on tourist and see all the must-haves, and it turned out to be a perfect tour around the city center. (I was out and about for the whole day so a huge shoutout to my Nike Roshe Runs!! Without them I would have not survived walking around for 12 hours and probably closer to 30 km. The perfect shoe for an active vacation for sure.) Even with the plan, I just went with the flow and explored the beautiful Paris as I wanted. And of course had some delicious coffee breaks every once in a while ;-)</div>

Right at my first sightseeing stop it started raining but not so much that I would have bothered to buy an umbrella. There were so many of those annoying sellers around the sightseeing places, pushing you to buy one and they just didn't want to believe I would survive without! Otherwise it was the perfect weather, not too hot with +19'C and some slight overcast. </div>

Something more upsetting happened though. When I was perfecting my pics at the Tuileries Garden this woman came up to me asking if I speak english. Of course being a proper citizen, I was happy to help her. Or that is what I thought she wanted. She told me to write my name on this piece of paper and in the end of our conversation started to demand for money! At this point I kind of put together the pieces that this was not some charity thing but something I do not want to support, and also probably illegal. As she saw I had some cash with me, she got super angry I didn't want to give them to her. I got so mad and upset I actually went and believed her in the beginning!</div>

Troughout the day I took so many pictures, met some awesome people telling me all these cool stories behind the places and just took in all the beautifulness of Paris! I am obsessed with the architecture - everything was just so pretty I could not get my head around it. I must have looked like one of those Japanese tourists taking pics of even the apples in the supermarket(well i didn't but almost..). So no need to confirm the fact that I totally fell in love with Paris and am already craving for more!</div>

I love traveling alone as you get to decide all everything by yourself; the schedule and so on. You don't have to compromise so go to some place you could not be bothered but your company wants to see/do/eat. Especially if you are going to spend only a couple of days in one city, it is so much easier and stress free, as a vacation should be! Also, I don't need ten people around me to enjoy my vacation and sometimes that just gets me annoyed as everyone wants to go to different places and I like to do my own thing. There was not one moment I would have felt unsafe or threatened during these four days, so all those rumours for Paris being dangerous/scary I can not confirm.</div>

In the evening I finally made it to the Eifel tower which I had spotted many times during the day but only from far. It was the perfect timing as the sky was still somewhat clear to get good pics and a few moments later I got to see the lights being turned on. Even though it is probably the most touristy thing you can do in Paris, I did not want to miss it for any price. A total must see, even if you are trying to be all cool and only see the "undiscovered" Paris.</div>

At this point my feet started to be pretty tired already but I still had Arc de Triomphe and of course Champs-Élysées to see. On the way, there were all these restaurants crammed with people enjoying dinner and drinks, some of them scattered on the streets as the terrace was so full. That's just awesome! We don't have any kind of after-work culture here in Finland except maybe on Fridays for some people but I wouldn't mind it. (It is also totally against all the rules to take your alcoholic beverage outside the very precisely marked terrace area...)</div>

Walking back to the apartment along Seine riverside I felt so unreal being there and seeing all what I had only dreamt before. I was very tired but at the same time extremely happy and grateful I have the chance to experience and travel the world.</div>

Oh boy what a day it has been! As you might see from the title, I am currently enjoying my life in Paris. A couple of weeks ago I came across these fairly cheap flights to Paris so I went ahead and booked a little getaway for myself. I don't have school this week at all, so perfect timing!</div>

My day started way too early after a horrible night. Those who know me can prove that I have this tendency to not hear the alarm clock ringing if its<i> too early </i>for me.. Not just once or twice have I missed school or something else because of my sleeping in preferences. So I stressed the whole night I would not wake up early enough to catch my train and flight later on. After just couple of hours of sleep, I travelled four hours to the Helsinki airport. I have a thing for airports. I really like them. I don't know why exactly I like them so much. Usually they are pretty to look at, very clean, there are people from many different places to look at and expensive coffee to drink. Maybe not the best reasons but that's all I got.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flight was operated by Finnair and have to say I am very pleased with their services. The flight was not fully booked so I got three seats just for myself, vegetarian food was excellent and the staff was friendly and professional. As a bonus we landed early so there was no need to hurry at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Roissy (Charles de Gaulle) I headed straight over to the train station located downstairs of terminal 2. In my opinion all the signs were excellent, directing you to the taxis/train/other terminal etc. It took about 45 minutes with the RER B train to the station Gare du Nord. This station then again, oh god.. Felt like a mission impossible to get out from there!! There were signs to every of street surrounding and connections and everything.. I walked around for like good 10 minutes trying to find some sunlight. I was only carrying a large Longchamp carry-on and my Proenza PS1 large so I decided to walk to my apartment. At the same time I got to witness the frenchies walking around and doing their thing. They are just something else, in a good way. I can't believe how many good-looking, well dressed people can fit in one city. </div>

During my search for a hotel I found out that it is pretty freaking expensive to spend three nights in a good hotel in Paris. However I remembered this one site I had seen mentioned in a blog and started to look for it. A website called <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank">airbnb</a> offers rooms, apartments and houses for rent. They are rented by normal people, basically anyone can start renting their apartment trough this service. I think it is a great concept for an alternative accommodation. I found myself a very cute parisian apartment right next to Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Yep, perfect location! It is rented out by a french girl who is living somewhere else at the moment. Her friend welcomed me to my new home and gave me the keys. Now I am literally living like a parisian for the next three nights! How cool is that? And this even saved me a couple of hundred euros.</div>

For today I had this big plan to walk around the neighborhood, check out Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, walk down to the riverside and see the pyramid of Louvre. I only made it to Printemps. And may have done some damage to my bank account. That place is just magical and pure pain at the same time. There is everything you could ever ask for under one roof. At some point it kind of got a little overwhelming as I am not really into all the high-end clothing, but the bags.. Oh the bags. I could just walk around the first floor and pet every leathery piece of art they have in there. But I am way too weak for that, I would just end up walking out with ten new handbags :-D I think I will do a separate shopping post of what I bought etc. but here is a little sneak peek of my happy moments at Printemps ;-)</div>

Long time no see, dear blog. Where should I start, i don't even know. My life has been very busy for the past couple of weeks or even months now, but definitely in a good way. After spending the weekend at the big orienteering relay in Kuopio, it took me almost a full week to recover. It wasn't the actual performance that got me so exhausted but staying up until like 3am and waking up to see my dad at the finish line at around 7-8 am. For the drive back home, I was totally exhausted and there were moments when I just passed out for being so tired. But for the most part I had to be awake to make sure dad stays awake and we won't drive off the road. Luckily we made it home safe and sound. But the next five days I feel like I just slept trough, don't really remember what happened.<br />

Also, the summer holidays have kicked off at work so for three weeks now I have been covering for two people. Luckily for me, not so much for the people enjoying their holiday, the weather has been the worst ever so everyone else is as pale as I am :-D<br />
<br />
What else.. well finally all my friends are back in town, so have been seeing them a lot more now than during the spring time. The CrossFit addiction keeps continues and my weeks are filled with new movements, improving techniques, getting lost in the woods and a lot of sweaty clothing. Friday before mid summer celebrations, I went for the morning wod including some negative pull-ups and couldn't carry heavy objects for the next two days. Luckily on Sunday I was recovered enough to hit a golf ball, on Saturday I still couldn't... :-D<br />

So yesterday it was <i>that</i> time of the months again. Time to bake buns I mean. As appropriate for a lady sunday morning, I headed over to grandma and grandpa's around noon and all we had on our schedule was to bake some cinnamon buns. Once again, Paappa had made us all some de-licious meet free bolognese sauce (that stuff, omg! heaven on earth) and it was so warm we even managed to enjoy our lunch moment at the terrace. Summer is finally coming back! And the bees too. </div>

Baking is definitely something to relax me. That is the time when you do not need to think about anything other than how many grams of flour you need to pour in to the mixture or wether your eggs are room-temperature-enough to be added. Also, on the other hand it's a great time to catch up and have a nice therapy moment sharing our stories with grandma. Sometimes it even gets s little too deep and we end up crying our eyes out. So these buns are 100% homemade with loads of love and other emotions. </div>

I feel like this spring has gone by so fast that I haven't even seen them in a really long time, which is not a good thing as they live like 5km away from our house. So hopefully during the summer we would have the time to spend some quality time together before I move back to Vaasa for at least the fall semester.</div>

This week was a rough one for me as my sleeping schedule did not take high note even after my official announcement on social media. I took it a bit easy and really focused on technique (and learning to use the compass correctly for once, lols), or at least tried. This whole working out thing is just so addictive! Especially when you really and honestly enjoy what you are doing. I don't know what will happen when I have to move back to Vaasa as there seems to be no CrossFit box there just yet and there will be no orienteering during the winter of course. Obviously I can do running, and I suppose I have to sign up to a "regular" gym and learn to have fun in there. My past experiences on gyms is not the most positive ones though. Usually they just bore me after two weeks as all you can do is sit in a machine and move your legs up and down, spend half an hour on a cross trainer or do awkward booty-shacking movements on a Zumba class. Yeah, maybe I'll just come up with another new hobby. Karate could be fun, haven't yet tried self-defense sports yet other than a single class of aikido or something like that when I was like 12.</div>

On Tuesday I had a nice run as we attended this running event in Hämeenlinna with a bunch of my coworkers even though I was kind of exhausted from my Sunday run and Monday orienteering. Minna really pushed me do good as I tried my best to keep up with her pace, haha! We ended up blasting a pretty decent time for a 7k run, at least for me. At the finish line there were some Scandinavian Hunks, literally, waiting for us which was awesome as of course it was raining cats and dogs and freezing and makeup running down the at-that-point very pink face... :-D</div>

Saturday was also a fun day, I figured to do a whole post about this but oh well.. So it was time for the summer season opening "party" at the CrossFit gym. Earlier this week I was so hesitant for even attending as I know I am not (yet) the strongest person or have a best technique in any of those movements we do at classes, and most of them probably have never yet tried. But I am so glad I went, as I had a blast and didn't do that bad after all I think :-) My group was also super understanding and I got to choose what I wanted to do so that I could actually finish the movements :-D The program for the day was basically four different group WODs and which group had the lowest scoring in the end won. Somehow I ended up having an awesome team full of _ripped_ people and my "CrossFit career" started off with a #podiumselfie! Such an awesome day with awesome people :-)</div>

For this summer I seem to have a pattern going on for working out. Monday is for orienteering, tuesday and wednesday for CrossFit, thursday orienteering again, friday CrossFit and the weekend will be decided by the weather so either golf, CrossFit or just rest and relaxing. Its hard to get amazingly creative with this schedule, as it is made almost to the minute. That's just how it is as a "grown-up" and a full-time job I guess. I can't even attend the morning classes as they are from 7 to 8am, and basically that would leave me 15 minutes to take a shower, put on some makeup and decent clothes. Not gonna happen for me. </div>

I totally forgot to mention this, but last Tuesday I made it to the second largest news paper in published in Finland, Aamulehti! I had no idea until my mom showed me and boy was I shocked :-D Apparently I was the sixth fastest of all the women running the same track(4 km) on Monday a week ago. All in all I was 48th I think, but I guess there wasn't that many girls/women running haha. Only lost 12 min to the winner, bur I mean it was Marika Hara so can not be too disappointed..</div>

Okaay, its time to wrap up the week again. I can't believe how fast weeks just fly by nowadays! I remember being like 10 or so, and school year as well as summer holidays always felt like forever and never-ending. Luckily I am all grown up now(yap.) so no need for boring hours, days and weeks not passing by, now they just speed past before you even notice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once again I had a pretty active week. But in a sense that I enjoyed everything, I still don't need to "force" myself to go to the gym or anything, instead all is purely for enjoyment. I am enjoying orienteering a lot, as it has such a short season so you really need to get all out of it before its gone again for the winter. Crossfit has also hooked me so bad, I am always waiting for the next workout (even though a bit scared if I will survive them, haha.So far so good!) and what they will consist of, as they are always different. Also, as a beginner I keep learning new things at the same time, thumbs up for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lately, I haven't been able to include running into my schedule (other than orienteering of course and running done at CF) and I was convinced that I would be able to run even for half an hour anymore. This morning however I went for a run, <i>just cause I felt like it</i>, and crushed my new record; 6k for under 30 min!! I was so happy and extremely surprised. That feeling after making it trough, oh it was <i>good</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Something I miss a lot is golfing. Last summer was definitely my "golden season" when it comes to golfing, I trained a lot and you could really tell that as my technique got a lot better, hits longer and naturally by that my HCP went down. For this season too of course I had such high hopes but during the last few weeks I have kind of had to give in to the fact that there just is not enough time for everything. I still try to dedicate weekends for golfing mainly, but that is just not enough to achieve that development in my game that I want to. Oh well, what big problems I have going on right now hah!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jukola is coming closer and closer (only two more weeks left!!) so that is exciting. That also means that more running and orienteering needs to happen. The next two weeks are definitely going to be extremely busy and full of activities for me, but thats how I like it so fun!</div>

Today at the gym we had an awesome WOD. Even though otherwise my day was not a very good one(apart from the cake we had at work..), but right as I got to the gym I totally forgot all those worries. One of the best features of working out for sure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Squat clean and snatch were my favorite movements already from the first few onramp classes. Even though technically very difficult ones, somehow I just like the intensity and how you need to use your whole body to get that barbell up and not just your hands as you would assume, or at least how I assumed it.. To get to those impressive heavy weights I definitely still need many, many reps and loads of practice but one WOD by one, I am getting there.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7A-QEbSMhJs" width="640"></iframe><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So about todays workout(and I totally realize this blog is nowadays super boring and only consists of me rambling about sports, but what can you do thats what I am into right now. Maybe in a few months the topics are totally different. That's just life I guess.), as I read the description on Facebook I was already hyped but still a bit worried how I would make it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Partner WOD: 25 min AMRAP</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a)400m run</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
b)8 squat clean @25kg</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6 rounds</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was b), so my part was to start with doing 8 squat cleans as my partner would run 400m. Then we switched and I ran 400m and so on. This continued for 25 min. When running for the second time I was already feeling pretty tired, but somehow I found the energy to just keep on going. In the start of the fourth round I was totally feeling it again, with heaps of energy or at least determination. I managed to push it to the end and even do a slight final spurt! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think there is no need for me to emphasize this any more but I am just totally hooked on CrossFit, loving every bit of it. Even the max reps we did on Tuesday(and my extremely weak and embarrassing PR result, lol..).<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we are having a day off from work as it is some kind of a religious holiday(didn't pay too much attention at school during this topic, soo..) and I am so happy to just sleep in, play some golf if its not raining, go orienteering in the evening and maybe film some vids :-)</div>

Its time to wrap up the week again and start a new one with a fresh mind. The time flies by so fast at this moment of my life, with loads to do and not much time to sit and listen to the birds whistle haha. I guess that is a good thing as I am a type of person who gets bored really easily. So especially during the summer I tend to keep myself very busy. I mean, we all know that when it gets super cold and snowy again there is no way I will be spending any spear time outside but instead inside with a thick sweater on me. But luckily the heath wave has hit the town and already for a couple of days we have had the chance to enjoy those +30C sunny days. Even so much that I managed to burn myself and get a <i>real nice</i> tan line...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week we finished our onramp-course and I managed to already check out one of the "real" classes at our gym, and boy was it a hit in the face. I think I was already super tired from the week and so I decided to take the weekend and really relax, get some sleep in and just nurture my body and mind with stretching, foam rolling(..eating ice cream..) and reading in the sun(..eating more ice cream..)!</div>

For the next week my goal is to keep up with foam rolling preferably every night even, and to really work on mobility and stretching. I do think that is one of the most important things to do besides working out. It keeps you from straining yourself and by that getting injured. It would suck to have to cut down on sports just because of not stretching enough or poor recovery. As said, your muscles/body really gets the progress from the <i>rest</i> after a workout. Said that, my other goal for the week is to really enhance my sleeping schedule. Now that I don't have those late night onramp sessions anymore, its easier to go to bed earlier and prevent the total exhaustion in the morning caused by just a few hours of sleeping. Maybe I could even cut down on my coffee consumption, which to be honest has kind of escalated because of the free coffee at our office..</div>

During the nine practices I learned so much, but of course I have plenty to learn still. But I feel like I have really got the hang on what crossfit is about; and I am really liking it. Also, all those late nights watching the sun set and biking back home with awesome music on and barely no people around; thats what I call quality time just by myself.<br />

Three weeks ago, we did a WOD which I managed to finish with time 7:19 and now on our last session of course we had to do it again. Before starting, I was feeling the nerves in my stomach as there was no way for me to do worse than the first time but I was afraid I would. After a steady start, I felt pretty good so kept up the pace and finished in 6:36! I am so happy!! Could have gone better and even faster, I was not totally exhausted finishing but oh well..<br />

Now its time to hit the actual classes and see where this journey takes me. I really need to work on my upper body strength, as noticed today I couldn't even do a full pull-up..<br />
<br />
I wanted to start off strong, so already today we headed over to the gym for a nice friday night workout. And not just any workout, but one of the toughest I have ever probably done. We didn't even need to do it full-on but I was exhausted even after the first round. Somehow I couldn't get myself going 150% at the end and that really showed in the outcome, but I accept that however this was my fifth working out day in a row. I can't wait to see some result, especially with those goddamn burbees... Killing me each and every time. Today I made 60 of them so hopefully next time it won't be so bad.<br />

Better late than never I guess, so here comes the summary of how my last week pretty much looked like all-in-all. I was feeling pretty tired from all the late nights and early mornings, but gladly I managed to get some sleep in during the weekend. Even though I missed a wedding after party just because of my sleepy eyes and a too comfy sofa... :( As my weekend passed by pretty much just sleeping, eating chocolate and lounging on our backyard terrace, I was not feeling the most energetic and <i>fit</i> on Sunday evening; very bloated and still low in energy. </div>
<br />
<u>Monday:</u> 1h30min CrossFit<br />
<u>Tuesday:</u> 1h "easy" orienteering...<br />
<u>Wednesday:</u> 1h30min CrossFit + biking back and forth<br />
<u>Thursday:</u> 1h30min CrossFit + biking<br />

For the next week my mission is to once again lift my energy levels and include one or more runs to my excerising calendar; running always makes me happy and super energetic even though extremely exhausted at the same time. I mean, who wants to run slow and near when you can go fast and far, right!?</div>

Today, an hour of my afternoon was spent wandering around the forest trying to find my way to the finish line, an hour full of both physical and mental struggling. So I went orienteering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When orienteering you really need to trust yourself and your skills, or actually first you need to know how to do it and then trust yourself. But don't trust too much. No matter how good you or how "easy" the route is you still might find yourself feeling pretty lost and alone in that silent, misty forest. This happens to me quite often; I really trust myself and just keep on running until I have no idea where I am at because the place I was supposed to end up at is nowhere near the place I actually ended up being. And all I can see around me is a pile of rocks, trees and some more trees, maybe even a pit. Still somehow every tuesday I find myself queuing to pay 6€ for a map to be able to wander, get lost and get very angry for whoever came up with the route trough all those thick bushes and very wet swamps. The most rewarding part is when you see that white-and-orange flag with the right number on it and you are back on track. At that point you just forget that for the last 20 minutes you had no idea where you were at and just keep on running pointlessly ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And also, it seems that peat is very good for your skin, so its a free pedicure every tuesday! Or a free map, 6€ pedicure and a pari of extremely smelly shoes; however you want to see it.</div>

For this week I was pretty active, and I can feel that. I have had a lot more energy and I feel more upbeat for sure. My new hobby also excites me so every training session ahead I am really looking forward to, and that is only a positive thing! Sometimes it is really hard to motivate yourself but when you find the right sport and environment to train in, it should not be a challenge for a bit. Also, I started to use HeiaHeia again for tracking down my workouts. There you can really see the overview quite nice I think. For runs I really like the Nike+ iPod app. You can see your distance, time and average paste easy if you just remember to take your iPod with you and actually start the program(I would not trust the calory calculator at all though..)</div>

I feel so exhausted yet extremely happy right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a nice while I have been kind of feeling down and not completely myself. I have always been an outgoing person, happy and social even though I do loove to spend an hour or two at home just lounging on the sofa. I guess my everyday life has just been lacking some positive energy and something exciting to do. So, already months back, I signed up on a course for which I was completely and utterly scared of. This whole social media scene including Instagram, blogs, Youtube etc. had shown me some parts of this new sport I am about to conquer.</div>

Just four hours ago my body was shaking and cold and my thoughts were going from right to left and doing cartwheels in the middle; what if I can't do it, what if no one talks to me and everyone knows so much already and I just suck. I can get kind of competitive and that either makes me try 150% or just give up. Today I decided to be brave, to face my fear and head to that gym. And I could not be happier I did. And I even made some new friends! For the first time in a while, I really feel alive. There is this nice and tingly feeling in my every muscle that I will(not be able to walk tomorrow..) be spending some nice moments at the <a href="http://crossfit33100.com/" target="_blank">Reebok CrossFit 33100</a> gym. I am so excited and ready to reach my limits and go a little beyond. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was such a nice sunny day today so I decided to kick off my biking season for this year. I biked to a nearby shopping mall even though I really don't need anything right now, other than a new spring jacket maybe. Well, I didn't get a new coat but what I got is a thick layer of dust on my face and a few little things from H&M.</div>

I love April fools day jokes. More than that, I love to fall for them myself. The fact that someone comes up with such a great idea that is at the same time absolutely ridiculous but you still think that it is true, or at least could totally be. Every year the local newspapers and online magazines have this tradition of coming up with an article and the readers' "job" is to find that one April fools article in the middle of the very true ones. Its so funny to see people first commenting ragingly even though the whole article would be over the top and so not believable. And as when one person remembers which day it is again, the sound on the comments changes 180°. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While strolling across the internet, you bump into one insane article after another, not just on April first but on an everyday basis. To really filter out those badly written, scandalous new from the actual worthy ones has become quite a skill. </div>

Those who know me personally should be aware of this but I have been a vegetarian(ovo-lacto vegetarian to be exact) since high school so for quite a few years now. On Sunday evening I got super sick and I kept throwing up all night, being very unwell and weak throughout all Monday. That got me thinking, that maybe I should change my diet and start eating meat again. I started off my new life as a meat eater with this delicious looking chicken breast, kip as they like to call it in the Netherlands. Tomorrow I will be returning back to work, so lets see if my energy levels will be more upbeat.</div>

Yesterday we enjoyed the last few hours at Levi as well as possible. Our train left from Rovaniemi at 9 pm so we had some spare time in the morning. After cleaning up our cabin, me and dad went to the slopes as it was such a nice day, and I actually changed from snowboarding to skiing.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Tired from all the outdoor entertainment the journey went by pretty fast and as soon as we got to the train it didn't take long for all of us to fall asleep. Thats a good thing, as this morning we had to wake up at 5:30 am. And as the night between Saturday and Sunday was the time to change from winter time to summer time, 5:30 am was actually 4:30 am to us. Confusing, I know and I kept waking up thinking if we are yet in Tampere or not. The train continued it way to Helsinki, so we could have overslept and found ourselves from Helsinki instead. </span></div>

As we got home at around 7 am, I didn't feel like sleeping at all so I figured to do a massive spring cleaning in my room. How convenient and very like me to be cleaning at 7 am after just 6 hours of sleep. Anyways, now my room looks so much better as I finally took those ugly boxes and part of my winter clothes to storage. The rest of the day will be spent lounging in fresh sheets, mentally preparing to return work tomorrow and also visiting grandma and grandpa.</div>

Today I had an awesome day. Even though I had to start it a bit later than I wanted. Last night all the others from our group went to see J. Karjalainen perform at the Hullu Poro Areena(local night club), so they had a pretty slow morning as you would assume. The sun was shining yet again, so I decided to walk to the "mainslopes" and enjoy a few hours of snowboarding just by myself. You never know how the weather will turn out the next day, so I do not like to waste any sunny moments on the slopes. I hate snowboarding when its foggy, as the visibility is so bad and you just have to guess what kind of bumps and humps will be on your way..</div>

In the afternoon I changed my gears from snowboarding to cross-country skiing. Because of the lack of snow in the south, I haven't been able to ski at all during this winter so for this week I have been enjoying it more than ever! I didn't even remember how fun it is to challenge yourself to conquer those steep uphills and push your limit a little further. So far I'm counting at 10k+10k+15k so altogether 35km. On Friday I still have the "final leg"; Levikierros around the fell which is about 18 km.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right after skin 15km I enjoyed a nice, relaxing sauna session while the sun was setting behind the cabin next door. After all that, now I feel pretty relaxed but still full of energy. I had an awesome day! I would not mind spending more of my winter days like this, but I guess you have to experience the "boring" every-day life to really appreciate these kind of holidays.</div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aright, lets get to the fun part of our trip. And by
that I mean shopping! In my teenage years I had sort of a shopping addiction.
It got so bad that basically all my mum had to freeze my credit card and
control my bank account so that I just would have too much money at one time,
hehe.. :-D Anyways, as I grew up it really hit me how much and stupidly I had
been just spending money without earning it. Of course now I earn my own money
by working, so I don't feel any regrets when buying something that I like. But
that whole shopping-over-my-assets definitely made me be a lot more
considerate, if I really need those things I'm about to buy. But sometimes its
just fun to splurge into something you wouldn't necessarily need but want, and
I think thats completely fine. OK, enough for that and now lets get to the part
where I will make excuses how I really needed all the 24 kilos of stuff I took
home from LA.<!--EndFragment-->

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before our trip, I made this little sketch of a
shopping list trying to control me swiping the credit card too often. To be
completely honest, when we got there I did not remember making this list at
all. So its actually pretty interesting to see if I have even purchased the
things that I was looking for, or did I just go crazy for the low price tags
and everything so pink and pretty.. :-D</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My list starts with an A. Being the oh-so-lovely Diego bag
from Alexander Wang</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did end up buying an Alexander Wang bag but not the
one I particularly and desperately was looking for. I wanted it in black with
gunmetal hardware. But some stores didn't even know that combination existed..
Finally after running trough literally like five ten different stores just for
this bag, at Neiman Marcus I tried on the same bag but in Ink(so very dark navy
blue) with silver studs. And I kind of fell for it. Its a very dark navy so in
some lighting it almost seems like black. Im so happy I decided to go for this
color, as I already have a bag black and to be honest, navy blue goes SO well
with my clothes and jackets, better than I thought. And to justify my love for
this bag, I have been wearing it non-stop since I got it so for 3,5 weeks
now(but don't even have a proper pick of it just yet..) :-)</span></li>

But somehow I didn't fancy them that much as strolling trough the stores. I did buy a cheap pair of slightly cat-eyed sunnies from Gap though.</li>

Comestics is so much cheaper in the US than in Finland, so as there is a Lancome mascara for </span><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">$</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">20 dollar, for which I would pay like 40€ in Finland, there is no denying it, I will buy it.</span></li>

The morning started up as bit more cloudy and foggy, but quite soon we got a clear sky and sunshine. So the perfect weather for skiing and enjoying the day! Even though we have been here quite a few times, the view from top of the hill on a sunny day is always forth the travel up here :-)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Friday we had to leave vey early from work, meaning like at 3pm or so. That is because we had some exciting plans and places to be at. It was time to leave for our yearly spring vacation to the norther part of Finland, Lapland. On Saturday morning our train arrived to the very cold(or so it seemed) station of Rovaniemi, the place where Santa lives ;-) We started off our holiday with an awesome and filling breakfast at the Sokos Hotel Vaakuna, worth every 12€. And so we headed to our final destination, Levi.</div>

When us kids were smaller(and we had a bigger family car), we used to drive all the way from Pirkkala to Levi. It took us like 12 very slow hours, even though sometimes we stayed the night in Oulu to visit our second cousins'. And every time we saw the welcoming bridge of Levi, that was the best sight and feeling ever after spending too many hours in a car with your annoying sisters and nothing to do. I don't think our parents would handle the drive with us anymore so we just have to settle for taking the train.</div>

Our dinner plan was to this super atmospheric place called Kammi. It was a little cottage, in the middle there was a fireplace and a buffet. The food they served was basically just reindeer meat and some salmon too, so I had my own special food served to the table. Needless to say, all the other people in our party enjoyed the food very much and we left the restaurant with veeery full tummies.</div>
