2013: The year of dream come trues!

Hi my lovely readers!
The year 2013 was awesome! Quite many of my dreams actually came true last year.

I had dreamed of seeing Cirque De Soleil's Alegria live ever since I was just a little girl. In spring 2013 I went to see it with my best friend. It was totally worth the hype!

Can you spot my orange suitcase?

I went to New York - the city of dreams - in April. The trip itself was a dream come true, but seeing The Lion King on Broadway, seeing NHL-game live, attending IMATS (& meeting JulieG and other beauty gurus) and strolling around in Tiffany & co. were nice additions ;)

In July, I also went to Nice, and that was such a nice trip as well. Hehhheheh I'm just hilarious, huh :P

Hello, this is my orange suitcase again

I also graduated from a cosmetologist school and now I am a CIDESCO-, SKY-cosmetologist :)

My little sister & me on my graduation day

I got to work on quite many exciting events last year. I met many Finnish celebrities and working with them was lovely. One of my favorite working experiences was the ice hockey championships that were held in Helsinki (and Stockholm).

Hi, I'm Pauliina and  I'm feeling AWESOME!!

This was awesome too!

Of course, in 2013 there were some bad days too. Two of my relatives and one family friend passed away, and that wasn't easy to deal with. They are in a better place now <3

Top 3 random things I've loved to do:
1. Meeting new people 
Last year I met some damn awesome people! Sini has became a very dear friend of mine, and through her I met my adorkable boyfriend. I loved spending time with my friends and family, who I love so very much. I also met Ronja, who seems such a lovely person, hopefully I'll be seeing her in 2014 again! :)

Sininiii <3

Ronja :)

2. Moving and learning to live on my own
I didn't move far away from my childhood home - just across the street actually xD However even this slight move has made me much more independent person. And it's handy that I can go & steal some milk from my old home if I'm out of mine and don't have time to go buy some.

3. Burning candles
I wasn't allowed to burn scented candles on my childhood home because of my little brother's asthma. Now that I'm living on my own I can burn as many candles as I want!!! Muahhhahhhahhhh!!!!!



Top 5 ones of 2013:
1. Phildel - The Storm song
2. Phildel - The Wolf
3. Phildel - Comfort me
4. Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful
5. Fergie - A Little party never killed nobody

Oh god I so fell in love with Phildel's music! Her voice immediately catched my attention and oh how I just love her music! Definitely my new favorite artist ever!

I hope year 2013 was as awesome for you as it was for me - if not, remember that everything will get better this year  <3
Thanks for reading, I appreciate all of you so much! Have a magical new year!

Such a Nice vacation!

Hi my lovely readers!
I was on a family vacation in Antibes, South-France. Antibes is located 15 minutes from Nice, and two minutes from Cannes, so it's absolutely lovely place to have a vacation on! There was a huge harbour with millionaires' boats, a lovely old town to explore and on Saturday a French antique flea market in the central plaza.
Here area a few pics from our trip :)

Fun fact; I didn't see a single Pepsi can or bottle during the vacation! Now I'm so sick of Coca-

Cola! 

Lovely windows!

What a place to get your desserts! Look at those delicius macarons *__* 

Look at me! I'm destroying my teeth with Coca-cola! Whiii~

A beautiful sunset of Antibes. 

I'm in Monaco, bitch!

Me and my beautiful sister

The incredible view of Monaco's harbour from the top of the Prince's Palace

Me and a Nutella-flavoured macaron

I declare this chocolate cake to be the best chocolate cake in the world!

Shopping in Antibes

Looking so hawt... Or maybe not.

Overall, it was an awesome vacation. I shopped a lot and even got a little bit of a tan (not showing in the photos, though). Have you guys had any vacations recently?

NYC PART 1 // Ice hockey & The Lion King

Hi my lovely readers!

Ok. So I went to New York. And I went to IMATS. 

I took over 1300 pictures.

So, BE PREPARED! There will be a total of five blogposts! 

Beginning of the trip: 

So, me and my dad flew from Helsinki on Tuesday morning with Finnair to New York! We arrived at the JFK airport and surprisingly there was little to no line to the immigration check, I was so pleased we got through that in 10 minutes! We walked from  the immigration check to the luggage claim and got our bags immediately. How lucky! We took a taxi and it took around 50 minutes to get to our hotel.

Hotel Pennsylvania.

So, we got to our hotel (Hotel Pennsylvania), which was 2 stars, the cheapest we could find. Why would we invest in a hotel, the only time we were there was when we had to sleep! I've always been that type of a person who rather spends the money on shopping than to the hotel :D 

So, on the first day we were pretty exhausted, but we had to go shopping! We headed to the world's biggest store, Macys that was literally next to our hotel! On the first day I bought a BCBG bracelet & Rachel Roy shoes.

Me and my dad are huge ice hockey fans, so on Wednesday night we just had to go to see the New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Pinguings! NYR won 6-1. It was just amazing how different ice hockey culture can be in different countries. In Finland people definitely don't stand up and start to sing "GOO-OO-OOAL, GOO-OO-OOAL, hey, hey, hey, hey hey!" o___o I loved that atmoshpere so much!! I wish Finnish hockey fans were as eager as americans!

We went to see the Lion King on Broadway on Thursday:

#omg #so #kool #swag #selfie #through #mirror #lol #ootd

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Times Squareeeee! Oh gosh I loved it! :) Sephora, Mac, F21, Disney store...

Me admiring the Lion King ad.

Whii, a dream come true!

Oh God how I loved the Lion King! It was all that I hoped it would be! My favourite charater/voice/actor was Mufasa's actor, Alton Fiztgerald White. "They live in you" was my favourite song, as it already was my favourite song of all the songs in the movies. So, even though the ticket were expensive, they were totally worth it!

Thanks so much for reading, stay tuned for more blogposts of my lovely trip! :)

♥ HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE ♥

Hi my lovely readers! Hope you're having awesome Easter, if you celebrate it. Here is a post full of photos of me goofing around in a witch costume :D

Me & my friend iEppo (dressed as a cute little chic)

Chocolate treats for little kids dressed as witches/wizards going around our town house-to-house. This is a Finnish tradition similar to trick-or-treating :)

Now I'm sorry for the lack of content that will be coming up in this blog for next week because I'll head to NEW YORK!!! IMATS HERE I COME! WHOOOO! I'm so excited! There will be plenty of blog posts and videos when I get back from the trip! :)
