I knew it was coming. 🌍 A month of no posting. Fu I knew it was coming. 🌍

A month of no posting. Full month of just work. Four events, three trade shows. Showing up, presenting, standing at the stand, talking the talk. Fully committed. Loved every moment. Was in my element.

And yes, it takes its toll. The exhaustion is real - but it’s the good kind. ✹

I hadn’t been to Tallinn since Covid. Hadn’t been to London since Covid either - I used to go there all the time, my previous employer’s headquarters was there. Then Covid hit, offices closed, and suddenly I was working from home for four years.

So yes. Being around people again. Travelling again. That energy? Irreplaceable. 🔋

Until the last morning in London. Last trade event. Busiest city of them all. I sat down for breakfast and put my noise cancelling AirPods in.

I simply could not handle more stimuli. I am used to eating breakfast with max 2 people (ok, at times it was 5 - but most have moved out... hubby included 😄).

So even extroverts have a limit. That limit has a name: ambivert. 🧠

I realised that a few years back. I love the buzz and the hassle, but I also need my zen time. So coming back to Finland straight to Midsummer festivities, summer cottage and total silence.

Absolute bliss. 🌿

Are you more of an introvert, extrovert - or like me, somewhere in between?

📣Mainos/Ad PR gift. Olen yrittĂ€nyt yllĂ€ttÀÀ Jyrkin 📣Mainos/Ad PR gift. Olen yrittĂ€nyt yllĂ€ttÀÀ Jyrkin vuosia. Ongelma on, ettĂ€ JyrkillĂ€ on joku erikoisaisti sellaisia kohtaan ja yllĂ€tys harvemmin onnistuu kun hĂ€n epĂ€ilee jotain. 

PÀÀtin siis ulkoistaa sen.đŸŠžâ€â™‚ïž

Domakers Finland toimitti @tolonenterveystuotteet oven taakse. Pikkulinnut lauloivat ja Superman kuuli. 😂

MielestĂ€ni yllĂ€tys onnistui ainakin ilmeistĂ€ pÀÀtellen. 😍

👉 Onko teillĂ€ jompi kumpi sellainen, ettĂ€ on vaikea yllĂ€ttÀÀ ja mikĂ€ on toiminut?

TĂ€stĂ€ yllĂ€tyksestÀ   Nytkin kuulemma heti ihmetteli kun rupesin yhtĂ€kkiĂ€ imuroimaan eteistĂ€ hirveĂ€llĂ€ kiireellĂ€ kun tultiin kotiin kun rakas đŸ˜» oli taas levittĂ€nyt hiekat 😂

🇬🇧 📣 Ad/PR gift. I’ve been trying to surprise Jyrki for years. The problem is he has some kind of sixth sense for these things and it rarely works because he starts suspecting something.

So I decided to outsource it. 🩾‍

Domakers Finland delivered @tolonenterveystuotteet right to our door. The birds sang and Superman listened. 😂

I think the surprise landed — at least judging by the reaction. 😍

👉 Is one of you impossible to surprise and what has actually worked?

About this surprise
 Apparently he got suspicious straight away when I suddenly started vacuuming the hallway in a mad rush the moment we got home because my dear đŸ˜» had scattered litter everywhere again. 😂

When the outfit reminded me of something I had for When the outfit reminded me of something I had forgotten... And a no makeup kind of day turned into a full makeup kind of day. 🌿

I had this beautiful YSL eye shadow palette of forest green colours with a hint of orange. So while waiting for the machines to do their thing I created this beautiful green, orange, yellow, golden makeup. Represents perfectly me. The forest lover basking in green moss makeup just because I could. ✹

Green is not really my first choice for makeup, but matching with the shirt and pants I think I mailed it.

Do you ever wear green eyeshadow? 😄

Not orange, not red, but something in between. đŸ©ž Not orange, not red, but something in between. đŸ©ž

I bought this @chanelofficial lip liner on a @tallinksiljalinesuomi ferry back to Helsinki from Tallinn. Ok, It was on sale, but the name called me more.It was called Blood Orange, 176.

And honestly? That’s the most accurate description of me I’ve ever seen on a product. 😂

I already had a @lancomeofficial lipstick shade PĂȘche Mignon 171 at home and  turned out the two together are absolutely perfect. One warms it up, one deepens it. The result is very much not orange, not red, but something in between.

Blood orange.. My new favourite colour 🧡

👉 Are you team red, team orange, or team blood orange? 😅

The weekend was a bit different than this sunset
 The weekend was a bit different than this sunset
 But our company summer party did end with this sunset and I mean... look at it. 😍

Then the weekend came and we headed to the summer cottage. The grass had grown basically a meter in two weeks so what do you do? Well obviously you mow the lawn at 9 pm because it rained the next day. And then you lift the paving stones. And in the middle of it all you find these absolutely determined larvae just doing whatever they do at this time of the year. đŸȘČ

Every single year this gets me. Months of snow when everything is cold, frozen and silent and then just in a few weeks suddenly wow. Everything is green, loud and very alive. Like it was all just waiting there under the snow.

I lived in Australia for years where you have one season basically. Beautiful but no contrast. And coming back to Finland that’s when I finally got it.

Spring is insane. Just like my cat đŸ˜» Full on ahead everything. đŸŒ±

And I have to admit that this time of year I feel more connected. It’s as if we all have a common goal. The plants, the animals, the energy. We all just want to grow, expand, become more. 🌿

Which at 52 I am fully aware I cannot. 😂 Anyone telling you that you can do anything at this age is just plainly lying. You can do a lot. Not anything. And there’s the difference.

👉 Do you feel like you have more energy right now?

👉 Onko teillĂ€ tĂ€mĂ€ taito myös hallussa? 😆

🇬🇧
Enough years together and you learn when to ask for details and when not to. Today was clearly a ”do not ask any further” kinda day. 😅 And no worries, the redness will subside in a few days đŸ„°

👉 Have you got this skill figured out too?😆

📣 Ad/mainos @tiffanykollektiivi 📣 Ihonhoitosi toi 📣 Ad/mainos @tiffanykollektiivi 📣  Ihonhoitosi toimii juuri niin hyvin kuin sinĂ€ annat sen toimia. đŸ«¶

Jos levitÀt seerumia tai hoitotuotteita kuolleen ihosolukon pÀÀlle, on ymmÀrrettÀvÀÀ ettÀ ne eivÀt imeydy. Kuorinta ei siis ole mikÀÀn valinnainen vaihe. 

Se on vĂ€lttĂ€mĂ€tön, jotta muut tuotteet pÀÀsevĂ€t oikeasti ihoon.💡

Kalahari Enzyme Face Buff on tullut minulle vakituiseksi osaksi ihonhoitorutiinia. HedelmĂ€entsyymit hajottavat kuolleet solut kemiallisesti ja jojobahelmet poistavat ne mekaanisesti. Kaksi minuuttia, yksi tuote.👌

Ero siinÀ miten iho vastaanottaa hoitotuotteita sen jÀlkeen on selkeÀ. Ja iho on myös aivan samettisen pehmeÀ, sen huomaa heti miten kuiva ihosolukko on lÀhtenyt pois.

Kiitos @tarutm kun tutustutit minut tĂ€hĂ€n tuotteeseen. đŸ«¶ JĂ€i vakkarikĂ€yttöön!

Saatavilla Suomessa @tiffanykollektiivi kautta.

👉 Kuoritko sinĂ€ ihoa ennen hoitotuotteita?

Day 2. đŸšŽâ€â™€ïž on The Journey 😅 Two days in a row on Day 2. đŸšŽâ€â™€ïž on The Journey 😅

Two days in a row on the bike. Turns out I actually like it and am contemplating on an electric bike at some point to go further.đŸš”â€â™€ïž

Cycling is good because there is no strain on the feet so less injury risk after runners knee and with bad bunions, but just gentle movement where the scenery changes. Enough to get the engine running and reduce water retention, which at this stage matters more than going hard and breaking down again putting all progress to full stop for months. đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«

I researched protein and post menopausal women weeks ago. Post-menopausal women need significantly more protein than most of us realise and I was nowhere near hitting it. 😳We are talking 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight daily which for me is well over 100 grams a day so 30-40 a meal. I was barely hitting half that. 

No wonder the gym wasn’t doing what it used to. No wonder my body composition felt stuck. Your muscles simply can’t rebuild without the raw material.đŸ’ȘđŸ»

I knew this. I just wasn’t doing it. There’s a word for that. Not gonna say it though 😅

Now I’m actually doing it. Deliberately more protein, deliberate movement, less sitting at the computer pretending that’s the only life I have. 🙄

Do you sit on the computer in your work? It’s so hard to get up after a few hours isn’t it 😅 I am really learning to take short breaks now...
