Christmas is a great time for reading, for me books are always an important part of December. One tradition I have, is every Christmas Eve finishing the night with changing into pajamas and spending a couple hours after midnight on the sofa with a book and box of chocolates. I love having two kind of books to read: one story book with a plot and one lifestyle book. I chose here five lifestyle books that I’m loving right now, some I’ve read already and some I’ve only browsed so far but can’t wait to read.
Joulu on aina hyvää aikaa lukemiselle, kirjat on mulle tärkeä osa oikeastaan koko joulukuuta. Yksi mun lempiperinteistä jouluaattona on kirjan lukeminen aivan viimeisimpänä illalla (=yöllä), kun oon vaihtanut jo mukavaan yöpukuun, suklaarasiat on avattu ja voi vain sohvannurkassa ihailla joulukuusta ja uppoutua kirjaan. Mulla täytyy aina olla kaksi kirjaa samaan aikaan luvun alla, yksi romaani ja yksi lifestyle-kirja. Valitsin tähän nyt neljä lifestyle-tyyppistä kirjavinkkiä, osan olen jo lukenut ja osan vasta aloittanut.
The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein. God I love Gabby’s books, they always make me feel so much better and make me find my inner peace again. If I’m having a hard time, I seriously always turn to her book. I’ve read so far the Spirit Junkie and May Cause Miracles, this is her newest one. I started this couple days ago, and I love it.
The Universe Has Your Back – Gabrielle Bernstein. Huh miten rakastankaan Gabbyn kirjoja, mulle tulee niistä aina niin hyvä olo. Niin hyviä elämän ohjeita ja oppeja, aina jos mulla on jotenkin vaikeampaa, tiedän että näihin turvautuminen auttaa aina. Olen lukenut tähän mennessä Gabbyltä Spirit Junkien ja May Cause Miraclesin, tämä on nyt uusin kirja häneltä. Aloitin pari päivää sitten, ja ihan huippu.
Nuoren Naisen Opas by Alexa Dagmar. (=Advices for young women.) How cool that my dear friend made such an amazing book?! Beautiful inspiring pictures and great advices, for fashion, beauty, everyday life and more. (Unfortunately in Finnish only though!)
Nuoren Naisen Opas – Alexa Dagmar. Kuinka siistiä, että Alexa teki näin upean kirjan!? Kauniita kuvia ja loistavia vinkkejä – kauneuteen, muotiin, arkeen ja kaikkeen pieneen hyödylliseen. Alexan tyyli näkyy kirjassa niin vahvana, kuvista tekstiin aivan todella kirjoittajansa näköinen!
Spark Joy by Marie Kondo. (This is the Finnish version, if the cover looks different.) If you haven’t read Kondo’s first book ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up’, I really suggest starting with that one. If you want your home to be more organized or you’re wishing some kind of other changes in your life, I suggest reading it even more. And then continuing with reading this, more specific tips.
Iloa säkenöivä järjestys – Marie Kondo. Jos et ole vielä lukenut Kondon ensimmäistä kirjaa ‘Siivouksen elämänmullistava taika’, suosittelen aloittamaan siitä, tästä kirjasta löytyy sitten tarkempia vinkkejä pienien piirrosten kuvittamana. Jos tuntuu että haluaisit jonkunlaista järjestystä kotiin tai vaikka ihan elämäänkin, tai etsit jonkunlaista muutosta etkä tiedä millaista, kannattaa lukea!
Capture Your Style by Aimee Song. Aimee was one of the first bloggers I started to follow, I haven’t actually bought any of the blogger books before this one. “Including everything from fashion, travel, food, décor, and more, Aimee includes insider tips on curating a gorgeous feed and growing an audience.” Sounds interesting, can’t wait to start reading this book!
Capture Your Style – Aimee Song. Aimee oli yksi ensimmäisistä bloggaajia ketä aloin seuraamaan, joten tämä kirja herätti kiinnostukseni heti. “Including everything from fashion, travel, food, décor, and more, Aimee includes insider tips on curating a gorgeous feed and growing an audience.” Kuulostaakin kiinnostavalta, en malta odottaa että pääsen aloittamaan tämän!
Have you read any of these books yet? If so, did you like it? Also please share if you have some good lifestyle book tips for me!
Onkos teistä kukaan lukenut näistä kirjoista vielä mitään? Ja jakakaa ihmeessä mikäli teillä on jotain lifestyle-kirjavinkkejä mielessä!

Omg! I’ve got two of the last books and they truly are amazing!
I love self-development books so much and love these kinda posts from you as I myself write in this style and one of my recent posts was actually about magic that can happen when you turn to self-development books
I wanted to ask – the second one, The Universe Has Your Back, is it religion related or not? It sounds amazing!

I just stumbled across your blog and I love it! I just finished reading the Universe Has Your Back and it was absolutely incredible. I will absolutely check out Gabby’s other books. Which one do you recommend I start with? Also, last year when I read The Magic Of Tidying Up, I was able to donate over a third of my closet and still have an empty drawer in my dresser that I don’t know if I’ll ever fill. Great recommendations. Have you read You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero yet? It’s one of my favorites. 🙂
