Heyy you,
I missed the whole August, as it was sooo busy and full of events, that I did not have any time (or willingness) to blog, but I'll make it up, I promise ( ! )
So before Khris quitted working at a restaurant called Lendav Taldrik (the flying plate) we decided that we should use our chance and be served by Khris, so a morning-lunch date it was, and it was fun, as always with these two
and then it was my dads birthday, and as a tradition in our family, I (+mum) baked or make a breakfast brunch with vegan scones and berry muffins, freshly squeezed orange juice, hummus, vegan nutella, fresh berries and some superfood bread and it was d e l i s h ! !
I love mornings like this.
And then, in the end of July, we went to Finland (we=me and my fam) to visit our friends' summerhouse called mökki in Finnish. It's always nice to be back in Finland, and especially nice is to enjoy a weekend at the countryside in the middle of Finnish forests and rocky coastline, run into ice-cold salty water straight out of sauna, eat loads of northern thin potatoes that aren't sold in Estonia, go running every morning to bring the daily newspaper, drive around Turku's little islands to nearby towns and just to spend good time with a friend and two families and a dog I don't have an allergic reaction! good times yes yes
in a cafe in Uusikaupunki, a "harbour" city near by
eating munkki's which are these sugar-covered ultra sweet and airy buns
so delish
and a must have when in Finland.
every of our mornings started off with either a big bowl of banana ice-cream or blueberry smoothie covered with everything good you could imagine
it was soooo refreshing and such a good way to start the day
and all of the dinners we had there were amazeballs, meaning we had such a wide range of vegetables and salads and couscous'es and holy wow it was soooo good
since then we've been making different veggies on the grill at home, adding sundried tomatoes and for instance helium cheese, so good!!
the so very calm and so very nice view
and the best bedroom I could ever imagine, the sleeps there my oh my
And so did end our countryside holiday, and we spent one night and one day in Helsinki, because mom had her last day of vacation and we did not want to go home yet. So I went out with Lotta to Kallio block party which was a mini-festival in between apartment buildings, it was fun. We ate FAFA'S for two times that night though, which was the best best best!! (If you haven't been to fafa's, oh my, you need to! They make the best falafels and pitas ever which will just melt in your mouth, forever loving those!) And in the morning we met up, had breakfast in an organic cafe called Sis.Deli, which I will tell you about in a different post, then sat into the car and drove to Vantaa ti visit an event called Asuntomessu which was basically a new built village where all the houses were built by a different company and also decorated from the inside, and all of those houses were for sale and people got to go inside all of them, see the design and furniture and gather vouchers and inspiration. It was cool at first but got quite tiering in the end as I did not like the way those houses were built/decorated, it wasn't that much about my style, but I still liked some details (like rose-gold vases and tissue holders, or a little garden in the middle of a house, or a fully white sauna, or a living room with higher ceiling etc). Then we visited IKEA and did a little "hannah in ikea" shoot, which was a lot of fun, as an old pair were looking around one "flat" and i was almost sitting on the toilet pot whilst max was taking a pic and laughing, and they walked in and were like "excuse us but umm I don't think that it's allowed to use the toilet" and we laughed soooo hard!! And afterwards we had lunch at a salad cafe called Teatteri and then took the ferry back to Tallinn. The only thing I bought was a pair of socks from Monkki, I've bought their socks before and I so like the softness and the cut, also the designs are always funky, like everything in Monkki. All together it was a sweet and good and relaxing trip away from home and work, and at the same time, to home, which Helsinki will be for me for forever and always.
The socks.

and the next day I was still inspired and craving the nana ice cream we made back in Finland, so I made my own, but with no toppings, sadly..
Back in Estonia, it all kicked off with a whole WEEK full of windy days, which meant we were giving lessons and lessons and it was s o tiering, but I was still happy: pretty sunsets, active job, a bunch of cool SUPpers and warm nights long boarding home with bare feet
oh you mother nature
one evening i had 21 of them
and one night we met up with Katariina in the old town and had a midnight chat whilst walking around the town and it was such a warm night i couldn't even
and an unintended white girl picture for that, memories..
And then Anett turned 18!!! so I took her SUPping with me to watch the sunset from the sea, and then Khris came too, and I surprised her with a vegan-bisquit cake and we ate it on the roof and made plans for the future and chatted and then did some yoga just to make fun of ourselves, and danced to so loud music in an empty beach when the sun had set
it was soooo
everything, so many emotions
then one windless evening I was reading outside, and the sun was setting so beautifully I couldn't help myself but to take a pic or to..
and one magical evening on that so windy week, we were lucky and got the chance to surf after our lessons, so we were on until 22:15, the sun had already set and it was too dark to see the depth of the water. But whilst we were on, the sun was setting to an almost cloudless sky and it was coloured so nicely and on that evening I knew what I wanted to do
oh that happy feeling and happy girl, who came off, ice cold but shining so much I could've been messed up with a diamond xd
but it was a magical night
my version of a dance floor
Actually a funny story: on that day I did nana ice cream again and managed to put my finger into the hand blender so it cut from one side of my nail to the other and i almost fainted, but gathered myself and rode my bike to my dancing class. And when I was going back I did something so stupid that I fell from my bike as well and was bleeding from fingers and knees and it was so stupid i cried on the sidewalk and felt soooo embarrassed, but as I had work, I rode quickly to the beach, cleaned my wounds and went to work. When we decided to go surfing after work I was so sure I'd break some bones or die, the day had been sooo unlucky that I was so scared. But luckily a bad day turned into one of the best during summer and I did not die and only crashed three times because I got stuck into the shallow water which I didn't see because it was so dark.
But it was a good night, a really good one
maarja's early birthday party, from where I came back all red again, because cats
AND THEN dudududuududududm I GOT MY DRIVING LICENCE
finallyyyyy !!! I passed my exam and woooooh sooo happy!!
so we decided to celebrate and I made my folks a salad buffet and they actually enjoyed it very much, as it was all vegan and healthy and they did not need to prepare it themselves, but it was sooo good and nourishing and filling and oh, if I would have those every day..
and to celebrate a bit more we drove over to Anett's to eat some cake and listen to a private concert and celebrate her birthday again, this time with her aunt and grandparents, but it was fun as always!
