Amazing how many comments you left in my last post about my New Year’s resolutions! It was so inspiring reading about yours, and your thoughts on the subject in general. 2016, it’s a new start! While I’ve been thinking about fresh starts, I’ve noticed that I often think in a way like I was waiting for something to happen, so that I could live my life the way I wanted to. You know like having a life imagined inside your head, and you are just waiting when you can jump in there yourself? 2016 is the time to jump! Haha sounded dramatic, but I don’t know any other way to put it.
Anyway, today was the first Monday of the year. I felt like now this was the beginning of the year, year can’t change in the middle of week with my logic. But I felt really motivated taking small steps today towards my goals, I have a long to do list on my Wunderlist app right now, I feel immediately better when stuff are wrote down. One step at a time! I also did some small organizing in my home, put up those Ikea things (that will be shown here soon too!), and took away almost all of my Christmas decorations. And did some trip preparations, can’t believe in four days I will be on the plane on my way to US! It’s freezing here right now, -15c, so you can imagine how I’m dreaming about the Florida weather… Hope you had a nice Monday! Now I’ll start answering last post’s comments.♥
Olipa kiva huomata miten paljon tuli kommentteja uuden vuoden lupauksiin liittyen! Oli mielenkiintoista lukea teidän lupauksista, tai ylipäätään ajatuksista tuohon traditioon. Jotenkin mua itseäni piristää niin paljon uudet alut ja ajatukset mihin suuntaan haluaa elämää viedä. Täytyy siis koittaa ajatella lupauksien olevan isompia juttuja, joita kohti tähtää pienin askelin, eikä lannistua vaikkei vuoden vaihduttua nyt olekaan täydellinen ihminen. Oon vain uusia alkuja pohtiessa huomannut, että saatan usein ajatella asioista “sitkun” tyylillä. Mielessäni kuin kuviteltuna elämä jota haluaisin elää, ajatellen että hyppään itse siihen elämään täysillä sitkun. Sitkun mitä? Ei mitään hajua, eli nyt olkoon 2016 mulle se hyppy. Johan kuulostaa dramaattiselta, mutta en osaa nyt paremminkaan ajatuksiani kirjoittaa.
No tänään oli kuitenkin vuoden eka maanantai. Nyt se vuosi vasta alkoi, eihän se voi keskellä viikkoa vaihtua, hah. Mulla on nyt Wunderlist appiin listattuna vaikka mitä erilaisia to do -listoja, vaikka tehtävää on aikalailla, ei se lannista nyt kun kaikki on ainakin kirjoitettuna muistiin. Kokosin myös Ikea-juttuja, järjestelin vähän sitä sun tätä, ja vein kellariin jo suurimman osan joulukoristeista. Plus aloitinhan mä reissuvalmisteluitkin, neljän päivän päästä oon jo matkalla Jenkkeihin! Nyt täällä -15 asteen pakkasissa vähän jo odotan Floridan lämpöä. Ei yhtään auta pitkin päivää kaverini kuvakuulumiset sieltä, milloinkohan mulla on viimeksi ollut näin paha reissukuume. Toivottavasti teillä lähti viikko hyvin käyntiin! Nyt aloitan kommenttivastailut. ♥

Martyna says
You inspired me to small changes in my home (yeah especially christmas decorations :D). And I have also good news for you – in my city, Bialystok in Poland, is about -20C, so I feel like snowman :D.
Have a nice day! and good look 🙂
Fanny says
I’m not ready to take off the Christmas decorations, why it’s already over ?? 🙁
Marianna says
I know… 🙁 One year until the next Christmas, what a terrible thought!
Aimee says
It sounds like you have your new year off to a great, smart start! I have been spending the first few days of January, since being on vacation from work, organizing my home as well. It feels great now that I’m back to work, coming home to a cleaner home!

Clean home cheers you up a lot, and motivates to keep it clean! So that sounds really good! Thanks Aimee! x
Emppu says
Ihana tuo sängynpääty! 🙂
Marianna says
Kiitos Emppu! 🙂
Milena says
You are one of my favourite bloggers. I’ve been folowing you for several years. Also, Here in Poland is also alsocold, even more than -15c. So I’m really jealous of your journey to US! Have a nice trip!
Marianna says
Aww thank you Milena <3 Too sweet! 🙂 Let's stay warm then, it's even colder here today! x
Natty says
Amazing post and amazing photos :). Enjoy your trip!!
Natali says
I’m just at the end of my holidays and I’m so not looking forward to facing the -15 degrees situation in Helsinki. 😛 Lucky you that you’ll get away to Miami and get some nice sun and warmth in the middle of the Winter. 🙂
P.s. I read once that, when you’re afraid to “jump”, that’s when you jump, otherwise you’ll always stay in the same spot for the rest of your life and there’s nothing scarier than that.

Yeah it’s terrible right now 😀 Thank you so much Natali, that was such a great saying! x
Barunka Svejkovská says
phone and computer organizing is something my electronics would appreciate too 😀 My phone is full of screenshots, downloaded photos, photos taken just to show someone something and there is not much of the storage left :-/
Have a nice day and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you (and also for me) to fulfill all the goals 🙂
Marianna says
Mine too, my computer… The biggest mess ever. Well phone soon too if I continue like this, the same as you. 😀 Thank you Barunka, one small step at a time and I believe we will make it a habit stay more organized with the electronics! x
Paulina says
Haha it’s great to hear that I’m not the only one with invented life in my head 🙂 I’m so happy that you write posts regularly, your blog is so cozy and inspiring. Have a great time in Florida! 😉
Marianna says
Really, kind of relieving to hear! But let’s live the life we want to this year, one step at a time 🙂 Thank you so much lovely Paulina! x
Nancy says
Yum your coffee looks delicious! I’m going to download that app and try it out. I usually write things down on little pieces of paper and then they get lost or they start accumulating on my desk and it starts to look messy.
Marianna says
I can really recommend! It motivates me so much to do all the things undone, when you get started you just get addicted on doing things 😀 x
Rachelle says
You are coming to Florida again that is so awesome, you should do a meet up while you’re there. Would love to meet you. xoxo
Nikki says
Such lovely, cozy pictures!! xx

Pinja says
Wunderlist on kyllä niin huippu, täytyykin varmaan taas ladata se uudelleen!
Marianna says
No mä oon nyt ihan koukussa! 😀 Eilen tuli listailtua vaikka mitä tekemätöntä joka on mielessä kummitellut pidempäänkin, ja tänään mä oon pitkin päivää sieltä ruksaillut niitä tehdyksi. Motivoi niin kun vaan alkuun pääsee!
Jessika Niemelä says
Oon niin samaa mieltä tosta että eilen se uusi vuosi vasta alkoi 😀
Ihanaa, mekin varattiin äkkilähtö Teneriffale ja sunnuntaiaamuna on lähtö! Ihana päästä viikoksi pois pakkasista 🙂
Hei mulla olisi sellainen toive, kun uutta musiikkia olisi mhatava löytää että olisko ihan tyhmää tehdä postaus sun tän hetken lempibiiseistä, tai vaihtoehtoisesti vaikka linkin sun spotifyihin? 🙂
Marianna says
Haha hassu ajattelutapa, mutta moni ilmeisesti samaistui! 😀 Oi vitsi, aurinkoon pääsette tekin, sanopa muuta! Tuo on ihan hyvä postausidea, voisin harkita jotain spotify-listan tekemistä juuri… 🙂
Edith says
Loved your new year’s resolution :)So motivating! The picture with your dog is everything❤️

Marietta says
Minus 15 degrees??? I already though the -3 degrees here in Germany were cold!!
I am still struggling with a lot of university stuff to finish and it will keep me busy for the next two weeks. After that I am ready to make a change too!

Yup today even worse, doesn’t matter how much clothes you put on you’ll freeze anyway! Brr 😀 Good luck with the studies right now, you can do it! 🙂 x

Eva says
woww -15 c! that’s so cold :O I can imagine you wish for the sun haha! It’s really cool that you leave to Florida soon, can’t wait to see the pictures. And yess I can relate to what you said about waiting. Every year I’m waiting for that thing that I wish for to happen, become a better me. But waiting isn’t going to solve that. Thank you for that sentence because now I feel like somebody woke me from my dream. It’s time to take action 😀
Marianna says
It is, today -20!!! So freezing, I feel sorry for Minnie too! But yes I’m counting the days to my trip! So nice to hear you related to my thoughts, so now 2016 is our year! 😀 x

Dear Marianna,
I feel totally the same way as you – new year, new beginnings, new changes… Scary and exciting at the same time. But we’ll do it!! 🙂
Since I also have the Resolution to “start a new Hobby”, I came up with the idea to start a blog on my own. I want it to be about Bloggers/Youtubers. I’d like to ask them questions and they answer, like a Little “interview” if you wanna call it like that 🙂 so their Readers can get to know them better or they gain new Readers.
Would you like to join? I would be so happy since I read your blog for at least 5 years now!! If so, maybe you can send me an email?!
Love,
Alice
Marianna says
Thank you so much Alice! 🙂 Your blog idea sounds really fun, you can e-mail me on [email protected]! 🙂 x
Desislava says
I can’t believe that there is someone out there with the exact same thinking as me.. I am pretty much the same person. It looks like I’m constantly waiting for something to happen to start living the way I have always imagined in my head.. And now, after seeing that I’m not the only one weirdo in the world, I will try my best to start doing the things I have always wanted. It’s so comforting thought..
Let’s kick 2016’s but off, girl!
Greetings from Blugaria!

Dear Marianna, first of all Happy New Year to you, I hope you’ll have an amazing 2016! 🙂
Your blog has really become a place of inspiration for me, and I love all these latest posts too about resolutions and new year start and I am happy to know you feel inspired!
As for me, my resolutions are yet to come 🙂 I usually set them at the year beginning, inspired by this fresh start. But this time, probably because the last year has been so challenging in my life, I am just trying to find peace these days. You know that feeling when you are overwhelmed and all you can and need – is trying to find peace? But I want to thank you, because your posts are helping me to move in that direction to new dreams, new resolutions and fresh starts…
Have a wonderful day! xoxoxo
Marianna says
Aw thank you Olya, I wish the same for you! 🙂 You’ve no idea how wide I’m smiling right now, I loved hearing that! x
Marta says
How lucky you are!! Florida, that’s a very good start for the 2016…what a great trip, enjoy it!!

CAPTURING MY LIFE blog
Michaela says
Minnie is so big already!! how cute :))
all the best to 2016 <3
Marianna says
She’s grown so much! I think she’s now close or even might be already the size she will be. 🙂 Same to you Michaela! <3
Jenna says
Mistä toi ihana sängynpääty on? 🙂
Marianna says
Elloksesta! 🙂 Voin suositella, tosin moniin sängynpäätyihin erona se kiinnitettiin suoraan seinään eikä ulotu maahan asti, mutta mun makkariin se sopi paremmin niin ei sänky tule pidemmälle sitten seinästä.
Camille says
Haha I think like you, new year began last monday! It’s so cold at your place right now, I can’t wait for you to go to Florida!
Marianna says
Hahah so funny 😀 I’m really waiting for the trip, summery feelings for the blog too 🙂 x
Kati says
Vähän sama kuin silloin ennen sun muuttoa mietit, että “sitten kun muutan niin teen sitä ja tätä ja tota”. Musta se on toisaalta kyllä hyvä, että ensin hoitaa asiat järjestykseen, oli kyse sitten mistä tahansa, koska vasta sitten ainakin itse pystyn keskittymään ihan elämän perusasioihin. 😀 Kunhan tosiaan on toi tietty raja, eikä silleen, että “sitten joskus”. Eikä asioiden järjestämistä saa käyttää kuitenkaan tekosyynä, vaan enemmän tarkotan tollasia isompia etappeja elämässä, jolloin yksinkertaisesti on niin paljon tekemistä, ettei ehdi nauttimaan ihan perusarjesta. Eli “sitkun” on tietyissä tapauksissa ookoo ja oikeastaan loistava motivaattori!
Marianna says
Totta muuten 😀 Mutta niinpä, sitten kun ajattelusta pitäisi opetella eroon kokonaan, ja elää jotenkin tässä hetkessä enemmän, ei tulevassa tai menneessä. Oot ihan oikeessa kyllä, kiitos kommentista Kati! 🙂
Jenny says
I know what you mean, haha, yesterday felt much more like a fresh start than it did on the 1st 😀 but I feel like that a lot of mondays. Do you feel a rush of energy and wanting the week to turn out well on mondays too?
I am a big fan of your blog btw ☺️ you’re a real inspiration!
Love,
Jenny
