HI THERE!

It's been a while, I've been busy blaablaablaa and so on. No excuses, cause' today I made some Italian apple pie!

It was the first time I made it! And I couldn't believe that it was so delicious<3 So here's the recipe (warning this isn't so healthy, for indulgence only!):

~

3-4 apples (Granny Smith)

cinnamon

oatmeal

~

dough:

150g butter

1 1/2 dl sugar

1 egg

1 3/4 dl flour

~

1. First grease the pan and heat the oven to 200C

2. Chop the apples and put them into pan. Add cinnamon and oatmeal. Actually you can put there anything you like, I mean, something similar stuff.  

3. Froth fat and sugar with a mixer in a bowl

4. Add egg and then flour. Stir until dough is smooth

5. Pour the dough over the apples. It doesn't go there smoothly but it will in the oven!

6. Put pan into oven, keep it there 30 minutes and serve with ice cream :)

It was fine day today. So calm. Like an own well being day! I bought coconut oil and I put it on my hands. Now my hands are soooo smooth and soft<3 I also made this:

Nepalese tea. It's a nice change to drink this than always the same green tea. The summer is almost here and then I can eat just fruits and berries and vegetables and and and everything fresh, I'm so excited! Btw, I'm travelling to Budapest next week, can't wait it either 8---) 

ARUGULA PASTA TUTORIAL, DRAWN BY ME

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

Hello everyone. I am... in love. I haven't felt like this for a long time. The warm feeling when you know that you  are loved. I'm smiling every day! That is why I haven't posted... Maybe I post something nice in winter holidays :-----) 

Because my man isn't vegetarian, I have tried to make foods that contain meat, like spaghetti and Thai chicken. They were really good! Though I am making meat dishes, I still stick to my vegetarian diet. But sometimes I have to eat little bit meat, because I don't get enough b vitamin. I should eat beans and stuff, but I don't like them much...!   

P.S. Hating is stupid. Stop hating each other. If you don't like someone, you don't have to hang out with him/her. I have stopped hating because it really is pointless. Just hold your hands etc! Haha

QUICK SNACK

You know the feeling when you actually aren't hungry but you just feel like eating something? Usually then you eat a lot of crap and unhealthy stuff. This is what I ate:

I ate muesli and added there dried fruit such as apple and plum. In other plate I have apples, banana, walnuts and raisins. It is super duper healthy! Life is full of choices, you could have picked like chocolate or toast full of  carbohydrates! And I am not saying that you should eat that kind of portion for dinner or anything, it is just if you aren't hungry, but you feel like eating something.

THE WORLDS EASIEST PASTA

Finland has been like Siberia for a week but today it is only 7 degrees below zero, hooray!! I made some saffron pasta, it is really easy to do:

So you put pasta into this kind of bowl when you have cooked it. I expect you to know how to do it so I am not going to explain it! Take a bowl and add saffron to the bottom. Saffron is really expensive, so one bag will do.

Okay, I just put the butter like that to show you how much I add it into the sauce. So don't do it like that, first you must put the butter for example into coffee cup, then into microwave so it melts and after that into the bowl. You can add butter as much as you like...but at your own risk!

 Flush the pasta, add olive oil, put it into bowl and mix it up. I also added capers and voila! The Worlds Easiest Pasta is ready! And it is so delicious...! While I was doing this post, I wonder if I had done this kind of post earlier................Oops.

 And remember, if you want to be a good wife, you must have different kind of aprons for every day! This one is Monday apron!

LET'S MAKE MY FACE LOOK PRETTY!

Good morning, it's a beautiful day! And it is time to make my face pretty 8---) First I am going to show you the ugliest picture you will ever see!!

Yes, this is how I look in the morning, wearing my yesterday's make-up... Don't ever leave your make-up on when you go to sleep! What ever the situation is, always wash your face. But yes, let's make my face pretty.

First, I tie my hair so the products won't go to wrong places. I use Lumene's toner and I put it everywhere on my face.

I realized I took really bad pictures. Oh, well.. But as you can see, my face looks immediately much fresher. You could use only that, but I like to add some extra stuff:

And this is my secret and also the magical cure for pimples. After using that, you will never have them anymore!! Well sometimes, but I really can't remember when was the last time I had pimples... But you can't buy this product without prescription so you have to meet doctor first.

I put Dalacin only to these points on my skin. It is really good thing to know that if you put some lotion on your face, you shouldn't put it everywhere. Skin has so many different areas, some are dry and some are oily.

I really really love this product. It has some vitamin C so it makes nice and fresh feeling on your face! Body Shop, you rule!

It especially gives a nice feeling on my cheeks!

It is time to put foundation! I have to use the lightest one because I have so pale skin which is really typical for Finns...

I see many people using their fingers when they add make-up. I don't. I use make-up sponge, so the result will be smooth and natural. But now I will reveal my darkest and weirdest secret..............

....Yes, I add the foundation like that. I know, it looks weird put now it is easier to spread it all over my face. Haha!

Blurry picture again... But as you can see, it is really nice now! Then it is time to put eye shadow, mascara and powder!

1. First I spread white eye shadow to my entire eyelid, then I add pink to the centre

2. Then I apply dun, I am not good at explaining how, but I don't add it all over the eyelid, just from the halfway to eyebrows... I should study more English...

3. Then I spread Chanel's brown eye shadow into corners

Sorry, bad picture again. I should get photographer to take my pics!!

Then I add powder, it is also the lightest one in the Lumene collection

It is hard to see the difference from that picture but now my skin doesn't glow so much

Then the mascara! I soooo love it, I really don't need any false eyelashes because of my Esteé Lauder mascara! It makes them really long and thick:

See the difference??

Yay, now my make-up is done! I really didn't do anything to my hair, I just released it. Congratulations if you really read this........Hopefully you had a good laugh!

ORGANIZING MY LIFE

 I just happen to looove making food. And when my things are well organized. I made my bravura, lemon chili pasta and it was perfect. It is not always the same, indeed. Every time it tastes different, sometimes it is too hot, sometimes there is too much lemon and sometimes the proportions are just perfect. I also visited The Body Shop today. I bought vanilla body butter and coconut shower cream and got for free vitamin e moisture cream and "chocomania" body butter sample which is new in The Body Shop collection. Life is smiling!
          I love people who smell good. It tells something about the people: it gives appearance that you are fresh, you take care of your health and you cherish beauty. I like if man uses deodorant or masculine perfume, it just makes me graaaazy! And I think the best compliment is "hey, you smell so nice". I don't know why. I like it more than "you look pretty today".

OOPS!

Dear Lord, don't think I'm dead! Just busy that's all. I'll tell you about flllllirting next time, as soon as I take few pictures for it. From now on I will post you few not only how to be a good wife tips but also how to be a good husband! Isn't that exciting?

WIVES, LISTEN UP!

  

MEN, LISTEN UP!

That's all for today :)

HELLO 2012!

Year 2012 already looks really bright! Winter here in Finland has been really dark, we have had a lot of storms and all the snow melted because it was too warm. But now there is -5C° outside and also snow on the ground! The New Year's Eve was great and I think it means this year is going to be GREAT! So, here's tips for this year (yes, I drew those pictures by myself, don't laugh!! And I am going to continue this later....):

self confidence:

 

1. Smile

If your basic facial expresson is a little smile, people treat you different way. By then you show to other people that you are confident, helpful and then it is easier to approach you. See this other picture:

See? If you look like that, people usually don't help you, they want to get away from you as soon as possible! And did you know this:

  So, if you put pencil between your teeth, it makes you smile, when you pretend smiling, your brains think you are really smiling and you are happy. How come? When your corner's of your mouth are upward, the blood turns into your brains! So, try that sometime!

2. good posture

 Oh god, I have seen a lot of people who have really bad posture. Usually when you are upset it reflects into your posture. Pay attention to it, so you won't have back problems in the future! And it also looks better and it builts you better self confidence.

3. Accept compliments gracefully

Even if you don't think your shirt is worth of a compliment, you are worth of a compliment! If you say just like that person in the picture, the other one thinks that you think his compliment was only a big joke and he has no clue about fashion! Simple as that. If someone gives you a compliment, say: thank you!

4. avoid perfectionism

I didn't know what to draw in this part so I just write it: perfectionism sucks. Nobody likes plastic dolls who are perfect and there is nothing wrong with them. Peoples own little "mistakes" are the one which makes us different and our own ways perfect and individual. If you don't like your knees, so what! Instead you try to cover your knees you should highlight other parts of your body that you are proud of.     


In next post I am going to talk about flllirting, ooh! And I would like to hear about your New Year's promises, mine is that I promise to take more pictures than I took last year!
