📣Mainos/Ad PR gift. Olen yrittänyt yllättää Jyrkin 📣Mainos/Ad PR gift. Olen yrittänyt yllättää Jyrkin vuosia. Ongelma on, että Jyrkillä on joku erikoisaisti sellaisia kohtaan ja yllätys harvemmin onnistuu kun hän epäilee jotain. 

Päätin siis ulkoistaa sen.🦸‍♂️

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

Mielestäni yllätys onnistui ainakin ilmeistä päätellen. 😍

👉 Onko teillä jompi kumpi sellainen, että on vaikea yllättää ja mikä on toiminut?

Tästä yllätyksestä…  Nytkin kuulemma heti ihmetteli kun rupesin yhtäkkiä imuroimaan eteistä hirveällä kiireellä kun tultiin kotiin kun rakas 😻 oli taas levittänyt 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 😻 had scattered litter everywhere again. 😂

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. 🩸 Not orange, not red, but something in between. 🩸

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 Pêche 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. 🪲

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 😻 Full on ahead everything. 🌱

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?

Tänään oli selvästi ”ei kannata kysyä enempää” -päivä. 😅 Ja ei huolta, punaisuus laskee kyllä muutamassa päivässä 🥰

👉 Onko teillä tämä 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 🥰

👉 Have you got this skill figured out too?😆

📣 Ad/mainos @tiffanykollektiivi 📣 Ihonhoitosi toi 📣 Ad/mainos @tiffanykollektiivi 📣  Ihonhoitosi toimii juuri niin hyvin kuin sinä annat sen toimia. 🫶

Jos levität seerumia tai hoitotuotteita kuolleen ihosolukon päälle, on ymmärrettävää että ne eivät imeydy. Kuorinta ei siis ole mikään valinnainen vaihe. 

Se on välttämätön, jotta muut tuotteet pääsevät oikeasti ihoon.💡

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

Ero siinä miten iho vastaanottaa hoitotuotteita sen jälkeen on selkeä. Ja iho on myös aivan samettisen pehmeä, sen huomaa heti miten kuiva ihosolukko on lähtenyt pois.

Kiitos @tarutm kun tutustutit minut tähän tuotteeseen. 🫶 Jäi vakkarikäyttöön!

Saatavilla Suomessa @tiffanykollektiivi kautta.

👉 Kuoritko sinä ihoa ennen hoitotuotteita?

Day 2. 🚴‍♀️ on The Journey 😅 Two days in a row on Day 2. 🚴‍♀️ 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.🚵‍♀️

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. 😵‍💫

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.💪🏻

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...

25 kilos in five years. There. I said it. 🌸 I’ve 25 kilos in five years. There. I said it. 🌸

I’ve been standing in cherry trees smiling in photos while quietly checking out of my own body. Life happened. Sorrow happened. Injuries happened. Work was always there as the perfect excuse. And honestly? For a long time I just didn’t want to make a change badly enough.

Maybe that’s exactly why I started studying how my body works and how I react to everything. Body Responsibility™ was quietly forming in the background. I knew exactly what was happening to my body. I was aware the whole time. I just wasn’t ready to take responsibility for it yet.

That’s the thing about responsibility. Knowing is not the same as doing.💡

So this summer I’m taking it easier. Enjoying the cottage, feeling the season, respecting my body and its limits. No forcing. No punishing. Just showing up differently.

Who knows. Maybe when I finally slow down, my body will too and the slow inflammation will finally subside 🌸

👉 Have you experienced weight gain during menopause?
