Well I went to the exam in Kouvola and did all the things, but by the end of it I felt that I didn't want to go to school there... The school was all nice and cool and the subject I think might be fun to study. But it's just that place.. After living in places like Turku and Pori where you can get anything you need with just a 30min bike ride, to move to a city like Kouvola seems really appalling.
I mean everything in Kouvola is in this small little area. But there is only the necessities. Pretty much nothing else. The flea markets were also just so so so terrible. In Pori we have so many and so awesome flea markets that no way no city can compete. Flea markets are terribly important to my lifestyle and I can't imagine living with just few crappy ones.
Of course no offence for anyone who lives in Kouvola, but I just didn't like the overall athmosphere of the place. Anyway I did the test so I could have a month to think about it. I'm pretty sure I would get in since there were around 20-22 people taking the test and they take 20 in...
And anyone who is wondering, I applied to study restoration of furniture's, buildings and etc.

I wasn't originally going to publish the yesterday's ootd here. For some reason I didn't like the outfit that much so I just posted it on instagram. But for some reason people on instagram reaaaallly liked it so might as well post it here too. I kinda warmed up to it I guess. I don't know if it's the skirt that bothered me or what... Don't you just hate when you almost won't publish something and then you go "oh what ever" and publish it and everyone really loves it and you are like "no people.. no...".
Now this is something I usually don't care to talk about but.. I got some new make up. I have heard good things from the Lumene Longwear blur foundation so I thought I'd give it a go. So far I really don't see much difference between this one and the usual one I wear which is Natural Code Skin Perfector Matt Makup. The Lumene one might be just a tad more covering and it has spf 15 which is a nice addition.
As for the Gosh eyeshadow it was just something basic I needed, nothing really to say about it. Does the thing it is supposed to do.
NOW we get to the Lumene eyeshadow primer. The left one is the one I bought some days ago and the right one is the one I have had for months and it's running out. I'm the kinda person who likes to replace their make up well before they run out. Especially if I know I use it a lot.
When I went to Citymarket to pick up this primer I was mildly annoyed by the fact that they had lifted the price to 13-14 euros. I remember getting it with 9 euros at some point.. They also had slightly changed the packaging and it had gone from being "Arctic Lingonberry" to "Arctic Cloudberry". Which I don't really even know what's it for or what does it do. Maybe it has some effect to the skin..?
Okay mildly annoyed so far.. I get home and toss the primer in my makeup bag. Then I thought I would compare the packaging to the old one. I lift them both up and just get even more annoyed. The new tube was 5ml and the old one is 7ml. I know that might not seem like a lot, but it's a lot when we are talking about eye shadow primer. WHY?!
This sounds like the most stupid thing to get mad about, and I don't usually care to talk about make up that much since I don't really even care. But this thing just seemed wrong to me. Whyy whyy are you doing this Lumene whyyyy? I for one hate buying new make up. It's so expensive and I always think that money could had been used better maybe. Now I have to buy this stupid little tube even more often and pay even more of it? No thanks.
Someone tell me if the new tube is just a different product and if I ranted for nothing. xD But well I didn't find the old one from the store nor from their website anymore.
First world problems huh?
Haha :D Voin hyvin kuvitella tyrmistyksesi. Ei suotta lempinimi oo Kouvostoliitto. Oletan että näit kanta-Kouvolan eli "ydinkeskustan"? Minä muutin muualta kaksi ja puoli vuotta sitten mutta oon viihtynyt mainiosti. Mies on syntyjään turkulainen ja muutti sieltä päin mun luokse ja sanoo ettei koskaan tahdo pois Kouvolasta kun täällä on kaikki mitä elämiseen tarvii <3
ReplyDeleteEri ihmiset tarvii eri asioita tosin.
Jos kuitenkin koulu olis kaikkea mitä toivot niin kannattaa tutustua enempi vaikka netin kautta ja pohtia.
Kaupunkirakenne on täällä siitä jännä että "ydinkeskustassa" ei ole juuri mitään. Toinen "iso" keskus on Kuusankoski johon pääsee 30 min. pyörällä. niiden välissä on ostoskeskus Prisma/CM/Veturi (syy autioon keskustaan) jossa on kaikki nää perinteiset ison ostoskeskuksen liikkeet,leffateatteri ym.
Ydinkeskustan kirppikset on huonoja ja itse suuntaankin yleensä Kuusankoskelle tai keskustojen välimaastossa olevaan Centtilään joka on ihan uus ja iso kirppis.
Tässä googlattavaa 30 min. pyörämatkan päässä ydinkeskustasta:
- Tykkimäki
- Käyrälampi
- Veturi
- Kuusankoski ( Tarja Turusen Suomen koti, kuin jännä ois tavata grillimakkaraostoksilla? :D)
- Kasarminmäki
- Kaunisnurmen museokortteli
Kauempana mutta silti Kouvolaa;
- Verla (keskiaikamarkkinat, maailmanperintökohde)
- Repovesi ( kansallispuisto)
- Wreden hautausmaa (kummitusjuttuja)
- Anjalan kartano ( ^^)
- Jaalan kylä ( mun unelma asuinpaikka!)
Meillä toki on kaksi autoa ja liikutaan paljon ympäri Suomea joten meidän kriteeri "ihmisten ilmoista" on alle 150km Helsingistä ja hyvistä keikoista/metallifestareista.
Jöös aika lailla sitä kekustassa tuli pyörittyy plus siellä amkissa tietty. :D Mukava kuulla! Itsekkin olen kyllä asunut aikoinaan yli vuoden Turussa ja ymmärrän että monessa paikassa linee mukavampi kuin siellä.. :'D
DeleteMietinkin tuota että mitä siellä veturin suunnalla ois, olis kyllä pitänyt käydä katsastamassa sitten. :D
On kyllä kaikkea.. Kiitoksia sinulle kun jaksoit listata! Tuli tutustuttua seutuun vähän paremmin.
On meilläkin toki auto että ei siinä liikkumisen puolesta niin hankalaa ole. :D
Toki se Helsingin läheisyys on myös ihan mukava asia, mutta itse olen jotenkin enemmän "Tamperelainen". Sielläkin tapahtuu paljon ja se on vain niin tuttu paikka että tykkään. Toisaalta ei Hesassakaan mitää pahaa oo... :D
ARGH! Sitten on vielä tämä että en todellakaan ole varma tästä alasta mihin hain. :D Se kuulostaa kyllä että voisi olla mukavaa mutta silti en osaa vaan kuvitella itteeni tekeen semmoisia hommia. Voi kukka ei kyllä riitä kuukausi tekeen tämmöistä päätöstä! 8D
Mutta kiitos sinulle vielä tutustuttamisesta! :>> Mietitään, mietitään...
I don't use Lumen, so I don't know if that is a different product, but I DO know that I'm having the same problem with some of my makeup and skin care, including my Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, so you are NOT alone! It really is mean of them, especially when they raise the price and then give you less product. As you said above, ARGH!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a finnish brand so I don't know how much they have it abroad. UGH I think urban decay is already so expensive, are they seriously raising the price? What's wrong with the world. xD
DeleteI know... Yes, UD is expensive, but it's also the best eye primer I've ever found, so I put it down to a good cause.
DeleteI understand. I might have to try it also some day.. :')
DeleteOh, and I forgot to tell you how much I LOVE your first outfit, I'm jealous!! I'm also a thrift store addict, so I agree, you can't live in a city with awful thrift stores, it's just WRONG. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank youuuu! And it IS! Just thinking about it makes me cry inside. :'D
DeleteAwesome look!
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3
DeleteRestoration is so cool! You look amazing in both photos too.
ReplyDeleteThank youuuu! :>
DeleteVihaisinpa mäkin meikien ostamista... :D Ootko kokeillut essencen meikkejä? Ne on edullisia ja niistä mitä olen kokeillut suurin osa tosi hyviäkin. Oon kuullut että esim. niiden silmämeikinpohjustus on tosi hyvä, tällänen tuote: https://www.kosmetik4less.de/en/essence-lidschatten-base-i-love-colour-intensifying-eyeshadow-base.html . Itse oon tilannut tuolta kosmetik4lessiltä kun niitä ei myydä Tampereella missään, ilmeisesti ainakin joistain Tokmanni-ketjun liikkeistä löytyy ja (ainakin joistain) Halpa-Halleista. Mut suosittelen jos haluaa päästä meikkiostoksissa halvalla! :)
ReplyDeleteJa ootpa taas ollut nättinä! :)
Ei siinä, kyllä joskus on ihan mukava ostella jotain uutta ja kokeilla. Mutta se että joutuu ostamaan uuden tilalle kun vanha loppuu niin on jotain niin perseestä. 8D
DeleteOoh! Ehdottomasti pitää kyllä kokeilla! Kiitos tästä vinkistä, pitääkin katsastaa ensin jos vaikka läheisessä halpa-hallissa sattuisi olemaan. :D Noi essencen meikkisiveltimetkin on kyllä houkuttavan halpoja.. :0
Ja voi kiitos! :>
First of all, I love the two oodts, you look great ^^ and study restoration sounds interesting, sure is very pretty, I like those things.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally, I read Kalevala (/^^)/ It's curious and interesting, very different at the mediterranean cultures and I like it. I don't know about the finnish edition but the spanish edition have like a dictionary of gods, beings, places... I would like to know more about all this. And well, that is all for now~~
Thank you so much! We'll see if I go with it..
DeleteOh yaaay! ^w^ Yeaahhh there is a whole bunch of things, hard to keep up with sometimes. I can't imagine what the spanish version would be like since the finnish version is kinda old-finnish which is hard to read and understand at some points. How ever did they translate that. xD Though there is a kids version (and a bunch of other versions) which is easier to read. Well if you would find a book on Finnish mythology I think you would find more on those beings. I can't really recommend any since I haven't read many of those in recent years. :D
