Evening walk with my hubby. A heat wave has struck Helsinki and it’s hot!

Picnic by myself after a hard day at work.
Sunday breakfast. Eaten slowly while catching up on news and blogs. Fat-free natural yogurt, homemade granola, honey melon and organic, orange-flavored white tea. The weather is cloudy, but warm, about 65’F. Maybe go for a run afterwards. I love lazy Sundays!
This is me now. Pub crawl with coworkers.. I’m holding my “passport” with only six stars, you need 10 stars for respect. One drink equals one star. You do the math.
Party with your colleagues?
We’re having a “Women’s 10…” tomorrow at work. Not a 10k running race but a pub crawl! After work, we’re going to have a drink at 10 different bars that have outside terraces. We’re going to walk to all of them, so that we’ll eventually end up in the city center. Only women from our department are entering, aged between 25-55 years old. There’ll be about 12 of us.
I’m excited and terrified! I’m the newest and one of the youngest in our team and I’ve never gone out with them before. Most of all, I’m afraid that I’ll be too drunk..(well duh..) I mean, if I have one drink at every bar, it’ll be 10 beers/wines/whatevs! Must try to drink water at some stops, I’m not ready to show my wild side to the gang just yet ;) still it’ll be great:) bonding outside of the office is sometimes very much needed. Especially when our boss isn’t coming with! :D
Have a great End of the week you guys!
Oh God it was easy to spend a hundred euros! I bought some beads, a new face lotion and to top it all, I went to my favourite organic (i.e. expensive) grocery store. I was supposed to buy only a bottle of local, unalcoholic sparkling wine, but I just couldn’t resist! I’ve never tried tempeh or seitan before, so I bought some.+agar agar. My coworker once gave me a recipe for homemade vegan cheese that has agar agar and coconut butter. I’ll try to make some next week.
Happy humpday! Just got off work and I’m trying this new Starbucks iced coffee drink I found at our supermarket. Can you believe that Finland doesn’t have Starbucks!? Yup, we have some Scandinavian and Finnish coffee shop brands but nothing like the white&green mermaid.. Sometimes I’ve seriously thought of bringing the business here myself.
I’m going to buy some beads and other jewelry making stuff:) I’ve found arts’n crafts so therapeutic! I love how focused I get when beading. It’s great for stress. I want to make earrings for myself, fancy ones that can be worn at all the weddings we’re attending to this summer.
Planning on running later… Talk 2 u l8r!
Dinner part 2: chick peas, celery, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper and tomatoes chopped with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt n pepa, garlic powder + a small tsp of vegan mayo. Fantastic.
First I ate some leftover Indian food (shrimp curry) and a piece of tomato&goat cheese quiche. Still hungry afterwards! Hence, dinner pt.2 :)
It’s been a good Monday so far. I went to the gym after work and did 30min elliptical+20min weights. Came home famished, thank god we had the leftovers!
We’re watching TV on the sofa and I intend to lie here until bedtime. Happy start of the week y’all!
Running a 10k, just paused to blow my nose. Great weather!
Lazy Friday Night at Home
I did some circuit training with a friend after work. Can’t believe I had the energy! Usually Friday nights are spent on the sofa tired as hell after a tough work week. It was warm and sunny still at 6pm so that was a motivator. Also, my moods are high and cheery after the wedding :)
Anyways, after the workout I went by a supermarket and bought two mozzarella, tomato & basil frozen pizzas for the hubby and myself. Served with some homemade coleslaw and cold beer…aa..does good for the soul :)
we’re watching The Office (US version!) and lying on the sofa with our snuggies wrapped around us. So tonight turned out lazy and cosy after all! :D going to bed early..I’m hoping on going for a run tomorrow morning. And i have a friend’s bachelorette party later on ;) have a great weekend you guys!
