2013 in summary:
The year when I learned how to drink coffee, curl hair with flat iron and how to lose my phone twice… Had the craziest summer, hot weather and cold drinks, and the coziest autumn and winter, cold weather and hot drinks. Got to knew amazing new people, had so many interesting conversations, experienced ups and downs, had a couple almost break-downs, found the things that are my saviors, learned that life wouldn’t be anything without friends and family. Loved writing, reading, drawing, exercising, meditating and thinking about life. Made my home look more and more like me, and just enjoyed being home. But also loved traveling. It was also the year, that I got properly addicted to Pinterest and Instagram, they are like a whole new inspiring virtual world! Don’t even want to know how many hours spent browsing there… Learnt to get my work things more organized, but still wanting to develop in that. Sometimes I felt a bit stressed when there were many projects at the same time and with busy schedules, but with the right attitude that can be turned into a nice positive busyness
I have so many wishes and resolutions for 2014, but let’s save that for another post! 🙂 Let’s start the blog memories, from January to June! (Later from July to December)
2013 tiivistettynä:
Vuosi, kun opin juomaan kahvia, kihartamaan hiuksia suoristusraudalla, ja kuinka hukata puhelin melkein peräjälkeen kaksi kertaa. Vuosi, kun kesä tuli hiihdeltyä siellä sun täällä ihanista ilmoista nauttien ja usein ulkona kavereiden kanssa juhlien. Talvi ja syksy vastapainoksi ollut sellaista kotihiireilyä, että melkein odottaa jo ensi kesää. Tutustuin moniin uusiin ihaniin ihmisiin, mielenkiintoisia keskusteluja ja elämän pohtimista. Koin ylä- ja alamäkiä, ja pari melkein mahdottomalta tuntuvaa alamäkeä, joista selvittiin kuin selvittiinkin, ja opin paremmin mun turvajutut ja pelastajat. Monta kertaa tuli tajuttua, miten tärkeitä ystävät ja perhe ovat. Kirjoitin, luin, piirsin, urheilin ja liikuin, meditoin ja mietiskelin. Sisustin kotia ja nautin kotoilusta, mutta rakastin myös reissuja ja matkustamista. 2013 oli myös vuosi, kun ihan kunnolla addiktoiduin Pinterestiin ja Instagramiin, aukesi ihan uusi virtuaalinen inspiroiva maailma! En halua edes tietää kuinka monta tuntia on mennyt siellä selaillessa… Opin myös pitämään työjutut paremmin järjestyksessä, mutta haluan vielä kehittyä tässä! Välillä tuntuu että ahdistus iskee kun tulee samanaikaisesti liikaa projekteja, mutta nekin voi kääntää vain kivaksi kiireeksi, kun sen taidon oppii.
Monia toiveita ja lupauksia on vuodelle 2014, mutta jos ne nyt säästettäisiin omaan postaukseensa! 🙂 Tästä lähtee siis blogijuttujen muistelu tammikuusta kesääkuuhun! (Seuraavassa osassa heinäkuusta joulukuuhun)
In January I…
- had a little family vacation in Gran Canaria, that was a perfect relaxation after Christmas and New Year
- made a makeup post (now January 2014 – time to do a new one?)
- wore lots of light pink, beige and nude
- kävin pienellä perhelomalla Gran Canarialla, täydellinen rentoutuminen joulun ja uudenvuoden jälkeen
- tein meikkipostauksen, nyt tammikuussa 2014 voisi olla uuden aika?
- käytin paljon vaaleita pinkin, nuden ja beigen sävyjä
In February I
- went to Copenhagen Fashion Week, met lovely bloggers and saw some amazing fashion shows, and were busy running from place to another
- wore lots of sporty clothes inspired from Copenhagen: sneakers and caps and baseball jackets
- went to the hairdresser (did my record in 2013, visited hairdresser not once but actually twice! Haha)
Helmikuussa
- kävin Kööpenhaminan muotiviikoilla: bloggaajien tapaamista, upeita muotinäytöksiä ja pää kolmantena jalkana paikasta toiseen juoksemista
- köpisläisten tyyleistä inspiroituneena löysin tennarit uudestaan, ja käytin paljon muutenkin sporttisia vaatteita, lippiksiä ja baseball-takkeja
- kävin kampaajalla (2013 oli ennätysten vuosi, kävin kampaajalla en yksi, vaan jopa kaksi kertaa!)
In March I
- had my friend from Turku visiting Helsinki at my place, and had fun experiencing Helsinki like tourists, shopping and partying. Even though everything is so familiar here in a way, you can always find something new
- other than that stayed at home quite a lot and did just work things in my “home office”, outside was super cold and lots of snow, so watching movies and cooking were my favorite activities
- ystävä Turusta oli käymässä mun luona, shoppailtiin ja juhlittiin ja päiviteltiin kuulumiset. Oli hauska kokea Helsinkiä turistimaisesti, vaikka kaikki onkin niin tuttua, voi aina silti löytää uutta
- muuten meni maaliskuu aikalailla työnteossa ja kotihengailussa, ulkona oli valtavat määrät lunta ja superkylmä, ja olin vain niin mukavuudenhaluinen
In April I
- started blogging more often, did lots of spring blog projects and collaborations, and got new enthusiasm for everything else too
- put more effort in cooking
- put also more effort in my outfits, the comfort-loving colorless sporty style started started to feel boring, and I found myself wearing more colors, miniskirts and high heels again
- was in a really good mood in general, probably because of the upcoming spring and sunshine showing more and more
- celebrated the May Day with friends
- aloitin bloggaamaan useammin, tein paljon kevät-blogiyhteistöitä ja projekteja, ja sain uutta intoa muutenkin kaikkeen
- panostin kokkaamiseen
- panostin myös pukeutumiseen taas enemmän, mukavuudenhalu jäi huomaamatta kun hameet, mekot, värit ja korot alkoivat houkuttamaan
- olin yleisesti tosi hyvällä tuulella, johtui varmaan lähenevästä keväästä ja auringosta jota alkoi näkyä enemmän ja enemmän
In May I
- did a styling+modeling magazine project for Costume
- thought that white is the new black
- designed my own bag!
- cooked and ate outside – the barbecue season had begun!
- tein hauskan lehtiprojektin Costumelle
- ajattelin että valkoinen on uusi musta
- suunnittelin oman laukun!
- kokkasin ja söin ulkona kaverin kanssa, grillikausi oli avattu!
In June I
- visited London and Nikon party there, balanced out that work trip with a little bit of shopping and touristing
- ate huge amounts of fresh berries
- partied with friends
- went to Lintsi, amusement park, and did other summer must-do things
- wore a lot of crochet
Kesäkuussa
- kävin Lontoossa ja Nikonin juhlissa siellä, ja tasapainoitin työmatkaa pienellä shoppailulla ja turisteilemalla
- söin tuoreita marjoja vatsan kipeäksi monet kerrat
- juhlin ja kävin ystävien kanssa ulkona aika paljon
- kävin Lintsillä ja tein pakollisia kesäjuttuja
- asuissa näkyi paljon virkattua ja pitsiä
// To be continued!

Happy New Year Marianna! 🙂
Lovely post. I remember all the things you mentioned. It’s always a pleasure to follow your adventures. Let’s see what 2014 has to offer you. For me, you’re the best blogger in the world plus the most beautiful girl, I know I’ve mentioned it a million times, haha sorry! One thing, which was very clear last year, your blog became bigger and bigger. You have over 100k readers on Facebook and you’re near 100k on Instagram. That’s amazing, when I remember how your blog started. 🙂
A new make up post would be great, even the “fav make up products” post! I love those kind of stuff. 🙂
So now, new year, new chapter. Let’s do this! haha <3

It’s so nice to see through the flashbacks of this 6 months of your blogging and feel like I didn’t miss a thing! Amazing moments, cool pics and atmosphere. I got the feeling that so many people are with you enjoying every single thing you post here – amazing. I’m also glad to know I’m not the only one who started blogging casue of you. Definately, all the credits go to you. Now, I know that blogging is quite a hard thing to do, it reqires organisation, effort and lots of time. On the other hand, it’s rewarding. There is no better thing I did, I love blogging. And I owe you a big THANK YOU for being my inspiration. Day after day, even today.
Kisses :*
