Colored nails!

It's been a long time since I did my nails. I used to do them quite often and always keep both toe and finger nails neat. But I got bored of doing it for a while. Now with spring around the corner I can feel the need of colors on my 10 fingers and toes ;). I started today, nothing very summery, gray and nude. But I gotta save the best colors for when it's not below zero outside! :)

So different but still the same!


Spring is coming! Today I already saw the pussy willows blooming!

Things I love with spring:

1. Bare streets
2. Spring sun
3. The melting snow
4. The feeling that everything is possible
5. When you can start taking out you summer shoes
6. Not having to have tons of clothes on anymore
7. Longer days
8. The excitement of knowing that the winter is about to end, and summer is coming
9. When suddenly spring and sunshine are the things everyone is talking about
10. Outdoor coffee
11. Energy
12. Smiles, everywhere!


It's funny how the change of the season, again, thrills me. That's one of the reasons I love living in Finland. I love our four seasons. 

I always find myself waiting with a childlike excitement for the next season to come, with all that it has to bring with it. Many who know me know that I often call myself an autumn person. Despite that I now have to say that I am so exited for spring and summer to come. Spring and summer always have that dreamy touch to them. It's like your mind can rest and living is easy. You can just dream away and not worry about tomorrow.

 This time of year so full of opportunities, and so full of energy. Spring still feels the same as it did when I was a child! As soon as the streets were not covered in snow, you could put on lighter shoes and take out your bike. The nights get lighter and lighter and you could stay out later. The countdown to summer break could start.

Even if today there is no summer break anymore, and life looks a whole lot different, spring still feels the same to me.

Sunny sunday!

What a great morning! So sunny and bright. And an early wake-up without an alarm. The whole day left to do things. Time to enjoy a big morning coffee and listen to spring music. I have different playlists for the different seasons and also for different moods. This morning I chose between my "spring all around" playlist and "morning tunes". Spring won, and that was a good choice :).


Wonderchild - Christian Walz

One of my all time favorites around spring. It just always makes it feel like the summer is near and life is easy. 

I hope you all have a good sunday!

and if someone of you has a favorite song they wanna share that gives that great feeling, please share them! I should update my playlists a bit :)
