Welcoming Spring – Moving Out & In
Long time no see-see, people! I'm hoping most of you have read that previous post by now - so that you guys would already know what's been up for me: I've been moving my stuff out of my old apartment, and moving them in this new home one of mine & my bb's.
So. I'm still alive & kicking and of course, more presentable than ever :

Hohohoho *cough* just took this whilst recording a V-Log video, and I'm pretty sure that's one of the best pics ever taken of me. You don't think?
Oh, "what VLOG" you say? I took a little VLOG to explain what's been up in the past month. Afterall I haven't posted in ages = there's just too much to tell ↓
NOTE: No music b/c I had problems wtih my vid editor. Oops.
PS: this video is mirror image so in case you were wondering -
that's not an engagement ring *fingers crossed* - yet.
Of course you're now thinking "well, can't you take a little time off in the midst of moving so you could blog too??" but honestly, it's been school work 24/7. No wonder I dropped half my classes last spring since this amount of school work in the last months of spring THIS huge. But let's not go there.

About the moving out-in process;
Like said, me and B found ourselves an apartment to move into a month back & got the keys to it 3 weeks ago on Friday. The hassle of emptying my old flat (by the end of April!) was one heck of a job! I spent several nights emptying it with B and cleaning it up with me'h daddy.
Here's from a week ago, in the old flat → looking quite empty here already.
We moved all the furniture etc to this new place 3 weeks ago. B's friends came to help us carry everything to the new apartment. We've been living here for two weeks now but as you could tell from that vlog, it's still kind of a big mess here still!
Anyway,
I've been snatching photos from along the way & am here with a pic spam!
Moving out started with the packing; I thought this ↓ was a lot of boxes already but... wrong! 
Luckily B came to join me with getting my things ready for moving them out of my old apartment.

I only tried to leave makeup and hair stuff & clothes at the old place. The bed was moved too.

After we'd moved our furniture in the new place, we went there every day and night to clean up and such. Like B is here, in his cool shirt which is unfortunately kind of blurry on here ↓ 
And because I had school assignments due every day and had to work on those too, I set up a little work table next to the kitchen. Which was pretty cool I thought ↓

In the beginning, the place was pretty empty of course. But cool book thingy huh? ↓

Little by little things started looking more like a home tho; we added plants ↓

And more plants and herbs...

One of my favorite green things is the little lemon tree which I insisted on us getting ↓

Anyway, our apartment is still full of bags & boxes as I said before; see?

And it wasn't long until I had completely emptied my old home and had so say BYEBYE to it. And got a last glimpse of my very own first home, all empty and ready for it's next owner. ↓

And whaddya know, we also celebrated B's b-day on easter. I actually made a dinosaur cake for him which I thought was super cool- don't really know if he thought it was as cool but hmm. I think so.

I still haven't thrown away the candles from B's B-day cake. Too cool I think.

And oh, did I mention our ANNIVERSARY?!! He bought a bunchhhhhh of flowers!❤ Whoa. My favorites, even two big phalaenopsis orchids in pots that we can keep. And much more.

And then came May Day... like said, I came home from work on the eve of May Day, and THIS LITTLE BEAST ↓ was waiting for me in the hallway on the other side of the door!❤

I can't get over how awesome my HK balloon is. It cheers me up so much ( n ______ n )

Below's me with B on May Day ↓, the first day in ages that I could actually be with him on, since all I've been doing for what seems like a forever is school school school. (But I guess I mentioned THAT one already ;o)

↑ but I mean... did that tissue really have to jump in the same pic with us?!? ( @` A ´@ )
Wow, that's enoughpictures for one post huh? Hope you guys enjoyed this post tho it wasn't about style or fashion or such, but as said I wanted to tell you guys a little bit about what's been going on around me and with me so I thought using a VLOG and photos worked better than a loooooonnggg text, hmm?!
But no more than 2-3 weeks of serious school time left before "summer break" from school!
See you guys soon, stay tuned for polls and shopping posts / makeup haul/tuto posts! Cheers ❤
A Sneak Peek On Personal Life
Well. You guys know I've had too little time for blogging lately, always replying to comments late etc. Like said I'm on the last year of my business studies (just my final report etc next year) = am super bizz-eeeehh with school work 'til the end of May *hhnnnggghh*
But that's not all; there's another big cause for my lack of blogging time, that being my (not to blame you my love) boyfriend, the man of my life, or Mr.B as I like to call him here on the blog. As a couple-in-love we naturally spend all the time we can together. So we've been living in 2 places = sometimes at my place but mostly I've been staying at his house.
So, since I rarely talk about my personal life, I thought I'd tell you guys some news that'll change that ↑ problem, and I thought I'd share a bit more on us!
Starting with a photo that describes how awesome I think my mr.B is;

Definite *WHEEEEEEEEEE* ↑ I'm flyiii-iiiiinngg~ material ok? Can you tell? Yeppers!
So, uh, you guys DID know I had the most amazing man on the planet as my now-bf future husband, RIGHT? I'm sure I've been mentioning on every other line on here. Oops.
I also wanted to give all y'alls answers to some FAQ's on me & mr.B, as obviously important a part as he is in my life. And to make things easier for you guys I made a little bunch-up FAQ BOX~ On the topic "keikk's life behind the scenes" *cough*what scenes?*cough* and more importantly my love life. Hehehe oh come on don't tell me you don't care about my lovey dovey life don't be a doo-doo face! ❤
OK, what have you guys been asking considering me & my man;
|
F A Q How we met? first years ago, most likely where I used to work. We lived in "next-door" city parts. |
Here's us doing one of my fav things, window shopping/shopping.

So what's all this to you? Well, since you guys now know that we're together 24/7 if we can, I'm sure some of you are now thinking "OH NOOEEESSS THIS BLOG IS DOOOOMMED SHE'LL NEVER WANT TO MAKE TIME FOR POSTING ON HERE AGAIN!!!" but hey guess what;
We're acturally heading towards better blogging times! ↓
[1.] We're moving in together with B, in a 3-room flat, this month!
Ta-daaahh ↓ I kind of drew this scetch for B to show him how I'd planned the interiors.

We've signed the rent contracts & can start moving our stuff in next week I think. Yeshhh.
Very exciting, and a bit JÄNNÄÄ (bit-scary) too tho, huh? But to us this is what we've been wanting + it's the only functional way (we always sleep in the same house anyway). This way we'll be able to start living our shared life for real and start building our family, home. As a couple, AVOPARI. *runs to the next room to scream like a teenage girl then runs back, continues...*
Plus this also means NO MORE ↓
• me staying at bf's & not having hair and makeup stuff with me WHICH MEANS;
• me looking boring b/c of that = not being able to take "todays hair n make" pics.
• having all the clothes I wanted to wear at home, while I'm staying at mr.B's
• not being able to take pics because i've left my camera at my place
• aggravating myself wasting precious blog time dragging 1000kg stuff around...
Like this ↓ (my laptop weighs two tons I swear.)

Soap, with this change I'll be able to blog about "my style" more. I'll be able to dress up when I feel like it (will be waking up in the same house my closet's in etc), and do my make-UP and hair if I want to (that's hard to do at bf's, lacking good light, hair products, half my makeup and a proper mirror) hohoho.
Ah, I'm dying to move already so we can start our life. Cheers!
Faux Fur Hat In -26c In Helsinki
Cheers people! And happy sportlovet to all my fellow Finns who are enjoying of their well-deserved winter sports vacation this week. Mine started on thursday *wippeeee!* and what have I been doing? How bout some cleaning up, working on school stuff for what feels like 24/7, oh and, working... But on a lighter note I've done some planning on & dreaming of spring, being with my family and bf, and getting ready for a 2-day trip to Tallin, Estonia with my sis & mom.
I've been packing today - is it just me or is half the stuff I own pink?

I'll be visiting Tallinn tomorrow & the day after, will post shopping finds etc when I'm back!
![]()
What's been up other than all that is, it's been SUPER, super COLD. For us that's ~ -26c in the evenings & at least -15 in the day. Well of course, some prettyface from Iceland might say "oh that's nuttin, we've got -44c even in July!" (just kidding u gaizzz) but to us Helsinki recidents that's cold enough for COLD. So what does keikk do when it gets this freezing-ous?
First off, I try to think positive;

Tweet Tweet
And second, I try to figure out something warm enough to wear for days like this. For the last days that's meant digging up the real-wool knits and scarves, and the faux-fur hats and collars. Well ok I've got one of each but anyway. Remember that Heaven&Earth code Satomi wore?
Got inspired to wear my faux fur hat again! Here's yesterday's code ↓

Faux fur hat from GinaTricot, bought years ago. Coat: Ichi. Belt: D&G.
Yesterday I went downtown wearing this and went for coffee with my mom. And what the heck, my mom sees me and goes "oh, so 'Russian style' today huh?"... Hohoho. Ooops. With a non-flat nose, of course I'd end up looking more like a Russia girl to the Finnish people, than like a Shibuya girl from Tokyo haha~ Oh well, I'm good.
Here's a web cam shot w/ the hat, I'm guessing this would have been Friday ↓

That's it for this little post. I'll be back at the end of this week I hope... But gahhh, the amount of school stuff I ought to get done this week is already stressing me out damnit. But yes, I'm sure I'll be wanting to post on the little things I'll fo shoesszzz be buying from Tallinn. So it shouldn't be too long til the next post!
Thank you for reading, see you guys soon. Cheers!
Story Time & Side Curls Hair + Outfit
Oh wow I'm back on the computer! This feels amazing - I've had these pictures taken and on the computer since Friday but I haven't been able to even look at my laptop pretty much since.
Let's see, why's it this time? OH, OH, nothing much, just another little virus and some bacteria to top it off. Diseases that started from the flu I first had, that have kept me sick since weekend and sent me to several doctor visits and a nice little night at the hospital.
[ Which, btw, did not seem too tempting after just having watched a zombie series that starts with a scene where this guy wakes up from coma in a hospital to find everything/everyone else in the hospital ripped apart by zombies, with these half-eaten zombie people lying around all over town. LIKE SO as in 'Walking Dead'. ]
But I was all good in hospital, got nifty pink hospital pj's and was well taken care of ♥ Plus I had a nice view →
But zombie people aside, I'm making this sound scarier than it is. Though it's the worst set of diseases I can remember having but it's nothing as exciting as it sounds like. I'm getting better and as you guys can see I'm now in good enough shape to blog, so we're almost there! Or maybe it's just the stronger pain killers and medication they put me on? Heh heh heh.
SO that's it about that - on to the less zombie-fic topics!
The outfit/hair pictures;

Here's 1 day's outfit; point's the hair, ↑ I did that 1st.
Anybody else think this looks different than my 'usual' looks? I think that the darker than usual lips and different shades in the make-up / skin make a difference. I'd been looking at the brownish & copperish make-ups in JELLY and (though I've heard those aren't the best shades for me) I thought I'd give it a try.
I started with the hair, like said. When I was getting ready to leave the house on Friday I decided I wanted the side braids do about LIKE THIS. But to save time I ended up just loosely twisting the hair into braid like thingies and pinning them down on one side *ka-chiinnng* that work'd.

Then, I curled the side of my head I'd left down & pulled my bangs to the side.

Sorry for the grainy pics!
What comes to the rest of the outfit I had no idea what to wear. So I just pulled on my trusted besties, the biker pants lookalike leggings (or should I just start saying 'BPLL' that'd be so much easier with how often I talk about those leggings, maaaan...). And since I'd decided the point of the outfit be the hair and the accessories;

In addition to the ear rings I was wearing matching layered necklaces and bracelets.
So I thought I'd make the rest as simple as possible & chose a white tunic size shirt.
Oh, and the biker boots. And I tied a scarf around my bag to for some color ↓

But Yes. This time I actually had a reason for not posting but I'll try to make up for being late from posting because of being sick, by answering to comments & fixing graphics etc while I'm still at home in the days getting better but already in good enough shape to sit on the computer. Or at least for now - and with these medicamentsiesszzz - I am. Hehe.
PS. Anybody notice my new 'shoe shelf' on the bed room wall? Me likes! IKEA ♥
Cheers!
