Pitch done. ✅ Standing in front of a room, knowing Pitch done. ✅ Standing in front of a room, knowing exactly what I’m saying, feeling the words land… and somehow not quite feeling like I’m in my own body.

Not because I doubted the message. I knew the message. I’ve always known the message.💪🏻

It’s something else. After menopause my body changed in ways I’m still making peace with. And sometimes I look at a photo and the person looking back doesn’t match who I feel I am inside. 

Like the packaging shifted but the content didn’t. 🤔

The feedback came back excellent. Like really excellent. Turns out when the content is strong and the person delivering it still has presence, the packaging becomes irrelevant.💡

I went out of my comfort zone, again, and happy I did 🥰 Plus met amazing women like @expandingourhorizon  So grateful ❤️ Thanks for the photo 🙏

Tag a special connection you made lately?👇

📣 AD | PR gift. My hair has a mind of its own. ✨ F 📣 AD | PR gift. My hair has a mind of its own. ✨ Frizzy, flyaway, does what it wants — and I’ve basically just accepted that as my personality.
Until now.

Happy Endings smoothing balm for the ends and the top layer. Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist for volume and workability. Multitask Heat Protection Styling Mist before any heat. Three products and my hair actually… co-operated 😅

The detail that really made the difference : I can still comb through it. 💡 After wind, after being outside, still smooth. That almost never happens with my hair. 🙌

I genuinely used Happy Endings so much the tube is almost gone already and I got this not long ago. That says everything.🥰

Thank you @tiffanykollektiivi for introducing me to @hairbysammcknight_suomi find them at @lifestyleshop.fi 🔗

Minä yritin valittaa. Ei menny läpi. Heti tuli sivallus takaisin.

🇬🇧 What is the meaning of life? According to Jyrki, it’s to suffer and feel guilty about it. 🤔

There you have it. Finnish wisdom in a nutshell.🇫🇮

I tried complaining. Didn’t land… got a jab straight back.

👉 Do you have the same philosophy? 😅

📣 Ad/Mainos - Today in Finland we celebrate Vappu 📣 Ad/Mainos - Today in Finland we celebrate Vappu 🍾

It’s Labour Day, it’s the first of May, it’s a Friday and for Finns it’s one of the biggest celebrations of the year. We’ve been doing this for over 130 years. Students, workers, families, out in the streets in their white graduation caps. 🎓

We skipped the crowds this year. Not because I happened to be sick 🤧 , but mostly because we wanted calmness, silence and they promised pristine weather.

So ours is a pier by the lake, warm spring sun, and a glass of @portaanperanmansikkatila sparkling strawberry. Finnish grown, alcohol-free, and exactly right for a day like this. 🍓

Happy Vappu, happy Labour Day, happy Friday to everyone out there today. 🥂

Where did you spend your 1st of May or “Vappu”?

Ad/Mainos @parranosuomi Vappujuustolautaselle löyt Ad/Mainos @parranosuomi Vappujuustolautaselle löytyi suosikki. 🧀 Toimii sekä napostelupalana 🍷 tai ruoanlaittoon 👌

Viime viikonloppuna Ruokamessuilla pääsin maistamaan Parranoa ensimmäistä kertaa, ja se pehmeä pähkinäinen maku jäi mieleen heti. Ei ihme, sillä juusto kypsytetään viisi kuukautta, joten karaktääriä löytyy jokaisen kuukauden edestä 😋.

Messuilla sain myös kunnon pasta-annoksen, tomaattikastike, kana, aurinkokuivatut tomaatit, rucola ja Parranoa pinnalle. Ei jäänyt nälkä. 😄

Kotiin tuli mukava kassi täynnä aineksia ja lisäksi Parranoa sekä palana, että raasteena. Nyt mielessä pyörii oma pastaversio. 🤩🍝

Parranon löydät K- ja S-kaupoista, kannattaa kurkata juustohyllyltä.

👉 Oletko törmännyt Parranoon kaupassa?

I can’t ignore this 😔 and it’s what I’ve been thin I can’t ignore this 😔 and it’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

The fact that I am closer to the end than to the beginning. 😳

Not in a dramatic way. It’s just math. I’m most likely not going to live to 106. 😆

And once you sit with that fact long enough, something shifts. Not dramatically. Quietly, in the background.

I’ve lived through enough to watch things repeat. Economic chaos. Technological revolutions. World crises. Same story, different packaging every time. And that has actually helped me stop worrying in advance because everything keeps changing and everything keeps coming back around ♾️.

Realising the end is closer than the beginning has made me think about what I actually want to do with the time that’s left. 🤔

And I know one answer for certain. I want to take care of my body. Without my health there is nothing left and none of the other things I want are even possible.

This body has carried me this far. Yes, it has its hiccups now. It surprises me in ways I didn’t ask for. But I will always be on its side. It’s the only one I have. 🌿

I’m here to honour it. Not to destroy it. 💡

👉 Have you ever thought about how far you are from the end or from the beginning? Where you maybe are in the timeline of life right now?

I Celebrate Me ✨ No plans. No occasion. Just spri I Celebrate Me ✨

No plans. No occasion. Just spring light coming through the window and a lipstick colour too good to ignore. 🌺

@maccosmetics Coral-ation 674 pulled me in and the rest just followed. Full face for a run. Because I felt like it. 💄

Here’s the thing about doing something purely for yourself… you don’t need a reason. You just need to feel like it.

Voittajan tunti on löytynyt. 🥳 Jyrkin näkökulmast Voittajan tunti on löytynyt. 🥳

Jyrkin näkökulmasta se on aamuyöllä. Salille ja Kolmen K:n -ohjelma käynnissä täysillä.💪🏻

Minulle se iskee yömyöhään, jolloin yhtäkkiä tulee mielettömän hyvä idea, joka on pakko toteuttaa juuri sillä hetkellä.💡

Tuottaako Kolmen K:n -ohjelma tulosta? Se nähdään muutaman vuoden päästä. 😎

👉 Kummalla teistä on voittajan tunti aamulla ja kumpi mieluummin säästää sen iltaan?

🇬🇧
Winner’s hour has been found.🥳

From Jyrki’s perspective it’s early morning. Straight to the gym, Three K program running at full speed.💪🏻

For me it hits late at night, when suddenly there’s a brilliant idea that absolutely has to happen right now.💡

Does the Three K program deliver results? We’ll find out in a few years. 😎

👉 Which one of you has your winner’s hour in the morning and which one saves it for later?
