THE BLOG IS BACK

So I've decided to start blogging again! New year(s), new me! No it's just that I've started studying art and thought it would be a nice way to share what I'm doing and my process with both you and me.

But yeah so from now on- More action, less talking! I'm very excited! 

So what have happened during the past years?

- I've moved in to my own apartment. Oh my it feels like I've been living there for at least ten years but no only three...haha. But I sure love my tiny little space and have no plans of leaving

- I've done some acting with my lovely group Studentteatern and I've had such great times and met such great people. So grateful for it. x

- I've started studying! Thought this would never happen, I mean as the true libra that I am, how would I EVER be able to decide?! But I did! I started studying Art, visual art and urban art at Heo. It's a one year course and I'm soon about half way through the fun but I've sure learned a lot and I'm excited to see where this leads. And once again, lot of great new people in my life.

So these are some of few things that happened through out the years of my absence from here. Happy to be back on track. x

ARABIAN KATUFESTIVAALI

Sunday is my blogging day, it's a fact but as you all know that is the day you just warming up for the coming week and got all the time in the world (often). Actually I have done so much today comparing to ordinary Sundays because the summer is finally here!!!!! It has been + 21 C today and I've been spending my day shopping in the center and drinking Starbuck's cold Seattle Latte by the seaside. It has been so lovely. 

But as you may have noticed on the pictures the summer started yesterday, which couldn't have been better because me and some friends went to Arabian Katufestivaali (a street festival in Arabia, Helsinki). They had a big flea market, live music, graffiti painters, music, music, food, circus artists and a lot of more activities. So fun! I checked out the flea market but I didn't buy anything except 500 Days of Summer with my faves Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zoe Deschanel. We really enjoyed the live music there and on the picture you see the band The B and The Band. They were so good and so entertaining!

One of the other main thing- The graffiti painters! Sooo talented, look at the eye that the guy made!!! I think it's hard to do that with an ordinary pen and I wouldn't even get close to that result if I tried. I'm so impressed by them all! I would love to try!

Lovely day, hanging out with lovely people in the so lovely weather resulted in one happy Rebecca, but oh so tired as you see on the last pic. haha. XO

Last weekend I visited my home-village in Sweden, and since my sister got a new nikon camera for Christmas, we decided to take it for a go. I'm very happy with the result, my sister is talented! I Like my casual outfit too and this is something I happen to wear all the time! The hat is just a perfect item that gives the whole look a more interesting and nicer touch. Love it! And my new shoes. Perfect.

COPENHAGEN

Here are some delayed pictures from Copenhagen! Excuse me for being so slow!

Copenhagen is sooooo beautiful, I've never been there before so this was my first time and I kind of fell in love with the city. It's a big city but it got it's coziness- Old buildings, cozy harbours, nice shopping streets that doesn't give you the stressful-big-city-feeling (Even though I like that too). We spent 4 days there visiting Henna and staying at her place which was so lovely, all white which I love and it never goes wrong! Henna told us that the best way to experience Copenhagen was on bicycles so that's what we did and we actually got Finnish Jopo bicycles, haha. It was so great to be outside in the fresh air the whole day and see all the great sightseeings at the same time. That must have been my healthiest trip because I was so exhausted when we got home in the evenings. 

As you may also have noticed that we visited some kind of Winter Wonderland, and yes we did but it's the Copenhagen Tivoli Gardens! They have an annual "Magical in Winter" which they turn the whole Tivoli into a Christmas paradise with millions of lightning bulbs. It was so breathtakingly and I could feel my jaw hurting from having my mouth wide open and saying "wooooooooow" every minute of the evening. If you visit Copenhagen during the winter season, you have to go to the Tivoli Gardens!

And one of the other main attractions of our visit to Copenhagen, which is not included in the pictures, was to see Jake Bugg's gig at Vega! He released his second album Shangri La the same day as the concert so it was a live stream for the world to see (think it is still available to see if you want). It was AMAZING!!! And the album is so great, loved how he opened with There's A Beast And We All Feed It and closed with Lightning Bolt, loved everything haha! :D I was totally struck by Song About Love, it was so magical and it felt so real like he sang from his heart. Beautiful. After the concert we headed straight to Henna for a few hours of sleep before our flight back to Helsinki. Oh how I miss these days in Copenhagen...but hopefully I will get the chance to go back soon!
