Fiskars

Today I had the chance to visit the quaint little artisan town of Fiskars. Located in south-eastern Finland, Fiskars is famous for it's scissors, knives and tools which are pretty well known worldwide. My grandparents and I had a walk around the town and visited a couple of the stores. We were pretty unlucky as a lot of the town's stores were closed on a tuesday. One of the definite downsides of living in Finland and visiting small towns is that opening hours of stores are often very haphazard. Nevertheless we visited the Fiskars store, a candle factory outlet and a store selling some very fancy and expensive kitchen knives.

My favourite trees known as "Hopea Paju" loosely translated as Silver Willow

Afternoon coffee and cinnamon roll at Backers Bakery

The cafe's floor was rather pretty.

The Beginning.

I feel like something I hear people complaining a lot about lately is PROCRASTINATION. Unfortunately i'm no different, as I am definitely the biggest procrastinator ever, and no matter how many times I tell myself "start that blog and actually keep it up", i've never actually managed to do so... Until Now (maybe). Currently, Finland has it's "syysloma" or "autumn holidays" so as I finally have some free time on my hands, i've finally decided to give this all a go. 

So an awkward Hi to the Internet world. 

I'm a 21 year old awkward Finnish girl living in Jyväskylä. Deep down I couldn't say I consider myself 100% Finnish. That's because before the age of 12 i've had the chance of calling Manila, Bangkok, Tokyo, Dubai, Jyväskylä and Espoo my homes. 

On this blog I'll share my daily rambles, miscellaneous outfits, the dreaded food posts, selfies and holiday pictures....

My goal is to post at least once a week, maybe more, but i'm not going to make any promises as i'm not sure i'm going to be able to uphold that promise just because of who I am as a person.

Let's see how this goes.

Hugs,
