And that's who I am

I know, this has been done sooo many times, but I thought this would be an easy way for me to first introduce gifs to my blog. Don't worry, I won't be spamming you with cute cats and what not, because mainly I will be making my own gifs. (like I made these out of pictures found on weheartit)

The effect in this post is perhaps a little chaotic but I hope you can look past that. I'll do better in the future.

Happy Shrove Tuesday everyone, today I will be overdosing on the Finnish semla pastries, just like last year. I will also be babysitting my baby brother (okay, he'll be 7 in March so technically he's not a baby anymore) who's sick and running a fever. In the afternoon I will visit my aunt and cousins so it's going to be a nice day. (if we forget that I am also sending out a dozen job applications too... not so much fun)

I hope your day will be nice as well!

Something different than my photography challenge this time, simply because I haven't had any time to take pictures. (or insert another lame excuse of your choice) Besides, I wanted to do the 'Before I die' tag, before I die... or completely forget about it. Lame jokes, sorry, I'll stop trying to be funny. The pictures are all from weheartit, and in no particular order of importance! (and yes, I'm aware it's Wednesday already... clearly my inner clock is running a day behind)

So, for the next 4 weeks, something little different. Instead of doing one tag every week, I am going to go photographing and each Tuesday I will post ten photos for you to enjoy.

I really hope you will like this idea, and feel free to take part in this challenge yourselves, I'd love to see your photos as well!

Another weekly post. In this series I will be doing a small blog challenge, or tag, this week it's about my make-up style. I came across this one at the Oh so September blog, and I thought it would be fun to do so I translated the questions. Hope you'll enjoy reading my answers!

1) You have five minutes to do your make-up for a date evening, what do you do?
I'll quickly apply concealer and foundation mixed with moisturizer, and I'll add some eye-shadow, mascara and red lipstick. This is also my lifesaver make-up when I'm in a hurry.

2) Pick a trend: cat eyeliner, bright red blusher or fake eyelashes.
Hmm... I think I will go for the cat eyeliner, since it's the easiest to apply for everyday use.

3) Would you rather be a month without any make-up or a week without any skincare?
A month without any make-up. I have atopic skin so a week without any skincare would do so much damage that no amount of make-up could hide it.

4) Which beauty products do you always keep in your bag?
A lipstick and a lip balm... I'm lazy like that, I never fix my make-up during the day even if I could do with some fixing.

5) Do you have any beauty products that you keep on buying time after time?
Rouge Dior lipstick in shade 999 (Ara Red)

6) Smokey eyes or red lips?
Red lips.

7) Lipstick or lipgloss?
Definitely lipstick.

8) Which beauty product you never thought you would like has become one of your favorites?
I really don't know the answer to this question. I rarely try anything I think I wouldn't like, simply because with a small budget like mine it would be a little daft to buy stuff I wouldn't like.
