I went through the questions in the last ‘ask me anything’ post one more time and decided to come up with one more 10 x Q&A post! 🙂 Here we go. (All pictures here a throwback from last spring. Missing lighter outfits like crazy.)
Kävin vielä kertaalleen läpi viimeisimpään ‘ask me anything’ postaukseen tulleita kommentteja ja kysymyksiä, ja päätin tehdä vielä yhden Q&A postauksen. Joten tästä lähtee 🙂
What are your main tips for being more confident?
1. Go outside your comfort zone from time to time
2. Know that what others think of you is not your problem (and doesn’t have anything to do with you, but to do with them)
3. When you feel like fearing a situation, tell yourself you’re excited not afraid
Mitkä ovat isoimmat vinkkisi, kuinka tulla itsevarmemmaksi?
1. Omalta mukavuusalueelta säännöllisesti poistuminen, vähän kaikilla osa-alueilla
2. Pitää muistaa, että mitä muut ajattelevat itsestä ei ole oma ongelma. Eikä sillä ole oikeastaan mitään tekemistä itsensä kanssa, vaan ainoastaan heidän oman ajatusmaailman kanssa.
3. Kun tuntuu että pelkää jotain tilannetta, kääntää ajattelun niin että on enemmänkin innoissaan kuin peloissaan, ne on niin samankaltaiset tunteet.
How would you describe an ideal man for you?
Caring, confident and funny
Miten kuvailisit ihannemiestäsi?
Huomaavainen, itsevarma ja huumorintajuinen
Do you ever get lonely and then wish to be in a relationship?
I do get lonely sometimes, but I never really wish to be in a relationship. I could only wish to be in one if I met someone who would make me want it.
Ootko ikinä yksinäinen jollon toivoisit olevasi suhteessa?
Oon kyllä välillä yksinäinen, mutten ikinä ajattele noin. Vain joku oikea tyyppi voisi saada mut toivomaan suhdetta.
I’m in the middle of twenties and I’ve never been in love. Should I worry about it?
Shouldn’t be worried at all! I know exactly how it is, when it’s hard to find a good match for you or even hard to get interested… I know I don’t talk about these things here that much – or almost at all – but just know that you’re not alone
Oon jo reilu parikymppinen enkä ole ikinä ollut rakastunut, pitäisikö mun olla huolissani?
Ei ollenkaan. En hirveästi näistä jutuista blogissa puhu, mutta tiedän millaista se on kun on vaikeaa löytää itselle hyvää matchia, tai edes kiinnostua kenestäkään. Mutta se päivä on vielä edessä kun kaikki muttuu. 🙂
How do you usually spend your weekends?
Usually just seeing friends, chilling at home, sometimes visiting family, watching movies/youtube, cooking or eating out, enjoying long breakfasts, also do some work/shooting. And sometimes going out. (I’m such a grandma in wintertime though.) But this weekend for example: on Friday work & later kinda going out, on Saturday a sauna night & cooking with friends, on Sunday a long walk with a friend in the morning and then just chilling.
Miten yleensä vietät viikonloppusi?
Yleensä vaan ihan rennosti: kavereita nähden, välillä kotikotona käyden, leffoja/youtube-videoita katsellen, kokkaillen tai ulkona syöden, pitkiä aamiaisia nauttien, myös blogijuttuja/kuvailuja hoitaen. Ja joskus ulkona käyden. (Aina talvisin tosin mummoudun.) Tämä viikonloppu esimerkiksi: perjantaina vähän töitä ja vähän ulkona käymistä illalla, lauantaina kaverilla sauna+kokkailuilta, sunnuntaina aamusta pitkä kävely kaverin kanssa ja myöhemmin vain chillailua.
Which are your go-to recipes for everyday meals?
Really basic meals. Fish/chicken/plant based protein + rice/pasta/potatoes. Usually my meals are so basic they sound really boring. Then there are days I feel like eating something more special or have breakfast for dinner.
Mitkä on sun go to -arkireseptejä?
Niin tylsät ruoat ettei niihin kannata edes reseptejä jakaa! Aivan perus kala/kana/liha/vegeproteiini + riisi/pasta/perunat. Sitten on päiviä kun syön aamiaista illalliseksi tai tulee joku aivan muu mieliteko.
How long will you do blogging?
Til eternity. No, I really don’t know. But I don’t see quitting any time soon 🙂
Kuinka pitkään aiot kirjoittaa blogia?
Mahdoton sanoa, mutta en näe mitään syytä miksi hetkeen lopettaisin 🙂
How do you make money with blog? Other than collaborations, or are collaborations the only way?
For me with collaborations only. When I decided to go independent I also decided I didn’t want any ad banners or anything else to mess up with a clean lay out. And the collaborations I do I choose really carefully, when you only do collaborations that are a good match you go further in the long run
Miten tienaat blogilla? Yhteistöillä, vai jollain muullakin tapaa?
Pelkillä yhteistöillä. Kun siirryin itsenäiseksi päätin ettei bannerimainontaakaan tule blogiin, kun halusin puhtaan ja yksinkertaisen ulkoasun. Kun yhteistöitä valitsee huolella, niin että ne oikeasti sopivat itselle, niin pääsee lopulta pidemmälle vähemmällä
What’s your favorite nailpolish in winter?
All dark reds and light nudes
Mikä on suosikki kynsilakkavärisi talvisin?
Tummat punaiset ja tosi vaaleat nudet
How do you edit your Instagram photos?
VSCO is my favorite app for this. I’ve made a post about editing instagram pictures – here!
Miten muokkaat kuvat Instagramiin?
VSCO on mun lemppari appi tähän. Postaus aiheesta täällä!

Hi! What do you think about an idea to make a post about love, being single and dealing with it, being in a relationship, falling in love, finding the right person etc.? Just based on your life and what you really think about all of it, all of the ups and downs. Of course if that doesn’t bother you, I would really like to know your thoughts 🙂
Have a lovely evening!
Marianna says
Yeah that could be an interesting post to do… I’m gonna think about, thank you so much A 🙂 x

I identify with you in so many ways, and I think that’s why you’re still my favorite blogger after so many years. You the best, seriously. Wow, I have a question, What filter in VSCO is your favorite?
Xox, Karen
Marianna says
F2, A5, 06, HB2… To the last two of them I always add a little tint though to get the shade I want. Thank you so much for the kind words Karen! ❤️
Dixi Wonderland says
I would love to know if you can read Swedish? What I understand you learned Swedish in school? The reason why I am asking is if I could write my comments in Swedish and you would understand but you might prefer English? 🙂
Marianna says
Haha yes I actually can! I studied it for many years. Both are ok for me! 🙂 x
Nai says
I hope you make recipes post again! I love them!
Marianna says
I probably should 🙂 Thanks for reminding! x
Emma says
Miten usein peset hiuksesi & miten usein lämpökäsittelet niitä? 🙂
Marianna says
Pesen ehkä joka 3. päivä, ja noin kerran viikossa föönaan ja käytän suoristusrautaa… 🙂 Vähän kyllä vaihtelee!
Anna says
Mistä toi ihana neule jonka sinulla on viimessä kuvassa päällä? 🙂 <3

Filippa K:n 🙂 Kiitos Anna!
Natali says
Lovely short q&a! I must say that what you gave as an answer to the first question totally made me smile, those are such true tips and I’ve been thinking the same about confidence too.
I also turn into a “hermit” during the Winter and don’t feel like going out much, but keeping a healthy balance of both, being alone and cozy at home and still going out and seeing people is the way how I like it the best no matter what time of the year it is. 🙂

Yes I agree!! 🙂 I love though that winter is almost over… The thought of spring and summer makes me so excited. Thank you Natali! x

I love the tips for being confident <3
I can relate so much to you, I'm a granny too haha, although I think I'm even more introverted than you, cause you're seeing friends often and I only see them from time to time.
