Love is the light scaring darkness away

Overnight oats for breakfast
I used 1dl oats, 1dl milk, 1dl unflavoured yoghurt, 1tbsp sunflower seeds & 1tbsp mango mash

There are hundreds of different recipes for overnight oats online and I love how easy they are to prepare & eat! Just mix everything together, let the oats soak overnight and devour. You're allowed to be creative and use your imagination with the ingredients which I think is really nice. Plus it's healthy and the jars look really cute and photogenic which obviously is hugely important if you're a blogger.

There are currently a hundred things that are making me anxious and unhappy but with those vibrant-coloured pictures I think I'll have to concentrate on the positive side of life on this post. I've been really enjoying the rain we've had recently. It's so comforting to sit on your bed and listen to the sound of rain while doing what ever you're doing - taking photographs of your feet, listening to Gabrielle Aplin's new album called English Rain or trying to study for your exams. I've been also enjoying the sun that's allowed me to wear shorts outside even while rollerskating. The other day my friend and I had an hour-long rollerskating session and it was so lovely. In addition to the sun and the rain I've been enjoying the quiet, misty nights and taking walks after midnight around the silent neighbourhood.

Guess it's now time to get dressed - it's three o'clock and I'm still wearing pyjamas. I need a life coach.

I had the life of ordinary, I spat it out

I finally got my matriculation exam results on Friday and I'm just so relieved that I don't have to worry about them anymore. I'm pretty satisfied with the grades considering how poorly I revised compared to my classmates. Just wish I wasn't so lazy!! Anyway, one step closer to graduating. While I'm so excited to graduate, go to work and take a gap year, I'm also so sad to leave the school building that has been my second home for two and a half years. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the first year of high school - life was so carefree and much less stressful.

Look what I found! They're so good, can't believe I had lived for 18 years without never having a Reese's peanut butter cup.

Dyed my hair the other day. Not that yellow in real life!

I love laying in bed and listening to music with my window open.

Questions & Answers

01 What would you name your future daughter?
I don't know actually. I like unusual (but not weird and artsy) and foreign names but some of them don't go well with Finnish surnames, like at all.

05 What are you looking forward to in the next week?
Getting money on Wednesday... I spent all I got in April in two weeks, well done again. Also super excited about Saturday's birthday party!

09 What were you doing at 12:30 this afternoon?
Getting dressed since we were just about to go out for lunch.

11 Could you go for the rest of your life without drinking alcohol?
No, I couldn't. I like drinking and going out with my friends every now and then. And I hate being sober at pubs&bars, drunk people can be extremely annoying.

12 Have you pretended to like someone?
Yeah, obviously? It's easier be with a larger group of people if you get along with everybody. Drama is tiring!

14 Is there one person in your life that can always make you smile?
Yes, quite many actually. My friends are exceptionally good at cheering me up without doing anything special.

15 Is it hard for you to get over someone?
Sadly, it is. I get very easily attached to people that show me even the smallest amount of kindness! I may try to look like a cold-hearted bitch but I'm pretty much the opposite, haha.

22 Have you kissed three or more people in one night?
I think I've kissed three people in one night...but they were all my friends! Not a lot of people have ever wanted to kiss me so I've never been that popular in one night lol.


24 Are you good at hiding your feelings?
Yes, except when I'm drunk. But I'm a scorpio so my feelings are always very well hidden!

25 Do you use chap stick?
Yes, when I have chapped lips... I don't think using chap stick every day is a good habit, I've seen way too many girls getting totally addicted to it!

28 What is something you currently want right now?
A cuddle buddy. I just want to lay in bed all day and have a Gossip Girl marathon... Volunteers?

33 What do people call you?
My name?! I do have some nicknames though, some of which I truly hate (aka the ones used by family members) so I like being just Arttu.

34 Have you ever wanted to tell someone something but didn't?
I have, so many times. The sad part is that it's too late now and I'm regretting not telling so much.

36 What are you listening to right now?
Charli XCX's Set Me Free. One of my favourite tracks on the album!

37 What is wrong with you right now?
I have a shin splint and even walking is painful. It sucks because I want to go running so bad.

38 Love really is a beautiful thing huh?
I think? I still haven't really figured out what love is though.
 45 Have you kissed anyone in the last five days?
Nope. My love life is non-existent.

46 What were you doing at midnight last night?
Watching a tv show where some Finnish celebrities reviewed this year's Eurovision songs. Most of the songs were pretty boring and I actually like Finland's song this year. Like, it's definitely not the worst. Anouk's (The Netherlands) beautiful voice itself is worth winning itself, too bad the song is not really Eurovision material.

48 Would you rather sleep with someone else or alone?
With someone else.

50 Think of the last person who said I love you, do you think they meant it?
I honestly hope they did. Because, you know, it was probably my mother. LOL.
 Here are the answers to the questions you sent me! I honestly tried to make a video but everything about it bothered me so much... Being awkward and a perfectionist is not easy, guys! The weather this weekend has been absolutely lovely, I took these photos yesterday and it's just getting so spring-like everywhere! I also went rollerskating with a friend yesterday and had so much fun. Had totally forgotten how great of an exercise it is! I just hope it won't rain next week because we've truly been indulged this week.

If you didn't know, these white flowers are traditionally given to mothers on Mother's Day in Finland and magically they seem to blossom every year just in time. I hope everyone has had a nice Mother's Day today ♡

all i know is i cannot pretend so i'm sitting on the outside again

♡ SPRING (noun) The season after winter and before summer. ♡

Super lovely weather today. So warm and sunny that I went for a walk to take some photos. It takes a minute to walk to the river and going to that familiar place felt quite nostalgic. My sister and I have gone there several times before and since we're moving this year I'll probably never go there again. Quite sad, actually. But that's just life. Spotted the first butterfly of the year! It was yellow and moved so rapidly that taking a picture was impossible. (Shocked & upset that in the year 2013 we're still not able to take photographs with out eyes.) Anyway, I've been liking this month so far. Just waiting for the perfect picnic weather!!
