My Favourite Perfumes

I'm at home having a flu and blogging is the best way to spend time, a cup of hot chocolate in my hands :)

Not sure if you agree but I think it's so difficult to find that perfect perfume. Subtle yet strong, feminine but not overly seductive. A perfume that I could wear both at work and at a romantic dinner. And something I wouldn't get bored of smelling every day.

I have two favourites right now. One of them has walked a long path with me, the Italian Laura. This is a smell my mum recognizes me of, something that smells like "me". It's also the smell I wore when I met my husband and that's why it's extra special for me. I was so happy when my sis-in-law went to Italy and brought some for me :) I smell like myself again!

My new favourite is Miss Dior. It's definitely from the more flirty and sexy end but it's not an "aunty smell" or shower-gel-sweet. It's just right and it lasts all day!

I would love to hear if you have a perfume you've been either wearing for years or a new one that you've just found!

Lately

After starting in a new job my days and weeks, even months, are flying pass. If I didn't have friends and family in Finland, I wouldn't even notice the passing of months - winter, spring and now summer. I really miss the four seasons and change of temperature, weather and mood. Somehow winter or rainy days in Finland give people a reason so be silent, shut their doors and just be all alone for a while. Singapore on the other hand is on the go constantly - business depends on pace, consuming, shopping, buying, going, coming, working, queueing. Non-stop. Sometimes I wish I was just sitting on a rock in Helsinki, looking at the sea, wind blowing my hair and listen to nothing.

Anyhow, I'm here and this weekend I had surprise guests from Finland - I'm always so happy to get visitors!! Today our good friends in Singapore celebrate their wedding. My husband is at their gate crashing at the moment which is a tradition of the husband going to the bride's parents house to "buy" the bride over to the husband's family. The bridesmaids prepare all kind of tricks for the best men and the groom to get pass and lots of money and gifts are passed on to the bride and her bridesmaids.

Lately I've been relaxing mostly at home and with friends, trying to cook new dishes - my new bravura is goat cheese&salmon pizza and chocolate cupcakes :)

Another weird thing lately is that all of a sudden Singapore is filled with moths. They are everywhere - at home, outside, at the mrt station, on my office door, in my office lobby...! I tried to save the first ones out of the window but there seem to be too many!

In terms of outfits I'm inlove with combinations of white lately <3

Well, this post was all over the place without any direction whatsoever but oh well, that's life! I hope you've had a great Saturday and lots of nice plans (or relaxing time at home) for today :)

River Safari - Part II

Sorry to those who are not animal lovers, this is the second and final post about my Zoo experience ;) But I really enjoyed it! A breeze of fresh air among all the city life here... Singapore Zoo has three different parts - Zoo, Night Safari and the new River Safari. I've been twice to Night Zafari and fully recommend it! It's a great experience to walk surrounded my animals on a warm cosy night of Singapore. Photos will be difficult to take because no flash is allowed to consider the animals' sensitive sight. River Safari presents the wildlife from the Amazon and other wet areas in the world. There are two ways of looking at Zoos - I always feel bad towards the caged animals, especially birds that can't fly and lonely animals... On the other hand without education about these sensitive species in the world, people would become even more ignorant to preserve the nature, recycle, give money to charity and so forth.

River Safari has both fishes and animals that live on the ground. As I told you before, Panda was the highlight of the Zoo :) It just took it easy, ate all it could find and munched bamboo lying on it's back. Just like me according to my husband ;)

River Safari - Part I

I love the nature and animals - Finland is the land of a thousand lakes, animals running in the forests and I've always had pets since young. My first dog was a Labrador retriever called Suru (sadness). She was an amazing dog, wise and kind. My second dog was neurotic but extremely intelligent Apu (help), and now my two cats Pessi and Eemeli are living with my mum in Finland.

Since Singapore is the land of shopping & everything artificial, I really miss nature and animals. We headed to Zoo's River Safari, which was so nice I'm considering a year pass :D

Even the fishes were quite cute (ok some were a bit scary) but oh my I adored the panda! I watched the panda eat bamboo as if it was the highlight of my year <3

Next time Panda it is!
