THINGS THAT KICKED ASS IN JULY

I´ve made a lot of cool discoveries during my vacation. Being able to spend four weeks in a completely different setting than my normal everyday life has once again been a real eye-opener. Getting away from modern city life takes a while of getting used to, but after I settled down, I could enjoy the little things, smells, sounds, tastes, losing sense of time, etc. Here´s a list of the best things so far:)

Anything made out of linen

Crepes with strawberry jam and whipped cream

Random encounters with feral cats & kittens

White nail polish

Liquorice powder – I could eat it straight from the can

Watching grain slowly turning from green to yellow

Picking raspberries from our summerhouse garden

Rainbows

Wearing my boyfriend´s large t-shirts

Relaxing on my daybed

Walking on old self-made rag rugs

Sipping white wine

Listening to the sounds of tractors in the distance

Using old dishes

Wearing face cream that smells like pear soda from my childhood

Bluebells

Strawberry-rhubarb pie

Island hopping by boat

Hanging at the summer cottage’s pier

Hair braids

Midnight boat rides

Wearing scarfs in my hair

Strawberry mint smoothies

Playing cards

Listening to podcasts (e.g Ysistä viiteen)

Taking pictures with a classic film camera from the 70´s
