Climbing Trees and Scraping Knees

So spring is finally setting in for real, there is tonnes of sunshine  for everyone and the spring flowers are blooming. My friend Tove visited me yesterday and we went out to take some pictures in the lovely weather, I took the opportunity to climb some trees!


We walked around the forest outside my house, there are several good spots to take pictures there.
Unfortunately the sun wasn't in our favour but we didn't have time to wait for it to move.




The dress is one of my favourite finds, it's very remade from when I first found it (it didn't even get close to fitting me) I love the fabric and the satin bands and of course, since it's me; the length of it. I just can't love a dress that doesn't go past my knees.. most of the time at least.


I rolled around in the grass looking at the flowers, managed to scrape my arm and knee on the tree I was climbing and made silly poses that are probably going to end up on my facebook but not here haha.

Tove unfortunately had to go home. During the evening we barbecued some meat and dad made fries!
Later my father and I watched The Rock, I really love Sean Connery and I can watch that movie again and again.

I need to get back on the horse as far as fitness goes.
Lately I really haven't been feeling up to it and I feel really bad about it.
To save some money on my bus card I will probably be doing some bodyweight workouts at home especially since we're going to our countryhouse this weekend and there's no gym there.
I might want my waist to get a bit smaller but my main goal now is to pack on some muscle! 
I need to look good in my bikini for the summer hah.

Hope you're all having a lovely spring day!

And Thus My Hair is Gone

So I cut my hair off. Many people have complimented me for my long hair, I will gently nod and say thank you.
The truth is that I haven't been satisfied with my hair for a long time. 5 years ago I did a similar cut because my hair was so trashed, vowing to take better care of my hair this time. After that my hair was bleached, dyed pink, bleached twice, dyed red, dyed light brown, dyed dark brown and then stripped of colour (read bleached again). You can imagine the state my hair was in after that D:
I had hoped that babying my hair after the colour-strip would save it. However I could no longer hide my dissatisfaction with my hair. It was FULL of split ends, 3/4ths of the ends of my hair were split and it looked like hell if you checked it out up close.
Good bye dear long hair, we will see each other soon <3
My hair grows fast, so don't worry, it will be back to the length I was at before in 1.5-2 years.
This time I'm not treating it badly even once, time for some perfect lucious long locks.

The picture above was taken on my way to pick up my boyfriend at the airport.
We had an awesome time full of great memories while he was here.
I feel so lucky and blessed to have him in my life!

Also todays outfit:
Hairband: Hand made by me
Dress: Hand made by me
Socks: Jane Marple
Shoes: Offbrand from Japan

Oh and my new winter coat from Mary Magdalene will be arriving next week~ 
We so excited!
It's the latest coat in Caramel Latte (Kera Shop limited colour)
I will of course model it when it comes, even with the weather being so warm~




I am not in a writing mood today so this will have to do!
All my love
