Weekend at a cottage

Not everyone knows that I’m actually quite the country girl. I’m not afraid of going to a cottage with no running water or electricity. Quite the opposite – usually those extreme conditions make the trip even more enjoyable. Though on this particular cottage we had electricity.

What else? Well I…

… went ice hole dipping eight times – that’s a personal record

… sat in the sauna for almost three hours – also maybe a personal record?

… fell on my arse quite gracefully while running naked to the ice hole

… walked on a frozen lake and almost got a heart attack, when my boot sank a little

… bought new rain boots, which were surprisingly comfortable to walk in (and I dare myself to use them in the city as well)

… laughed a lot

… won Trivial Pursuit after a long and excruciating game

… fell even more in love with the Finnish nature

I thought I would just share this little update of my weekend and share these photos (which I personally love, and I have to say my sister’s phone has superb camera). I hope your Easter was relaxing!

And hey, remember to participate in the jewellery giveaway on the earlier post.

Collaboration with Eternity Rose

I love roses. Now that I think of it, they might just be my favorite flowers.

The color doesn’t really matter – I’ve gotten red, pink, orange and blue roses. I’ve even gotten glitter-covered roses. Give me a rose – any color – and I’ll happily take it. The only downside to a rose is, that it lives such a short life. It can barely last a week. Or am I just a bad florist? Okay, I already know the answer, because somehow we’ve come to the agreement, that my man handles all the plants in our home. I can’t be the only one, right? Anyway – I love roses, but I wish they would last for an eternity.

So you know I was excited, when a company called Eternity Rose contacted me and I got this beautiful pink rose jewellery set.

What’s unique about this jewellery is, that it’s made from real rose petals, which are glazed and gold-trimmed. The fact, that they contain real rose petals adds a nice little touch to already beautiful jewellery. I think this earring and pendant set was even more beautiful in person and I really like how graceful it looks.

I’ve always considered myself more of a silver-gal, but nowadays I’ve really enjoyed rose-gold and gold things. It’s always boring to limit yourself, so why not try new things, new colors – or new jewellery?
