If you want a delicious snack for your afternoon coffee or tea, the raw balls are a great choice! They are also very healthy and gives you more energy. I made some of my own today and they are super delicious! I had a recipe as base, but added and took away some stuff in it. So here is my recipe! 

 

 

 

 

1. Start by mixing the dates and the figs in a mixer to a dough! 

2. Add the almonds, seeds and berries! Mix!

 

 

 

On our trip to London we had of course to go visit the M&M shop too! Which was 3 floors big and had a lot of different toys and M&M candy in it! The best part in the store was when you got to mix and match your own M&M's in a bag, I got a little bit too excited there ^^ (you can see my beautiful colour match down below!)

 

I'm a small Harry Potter fan so of course when me and my friend were in London we had to go visit some places where the movies were shot! We went to King's Cross to take the train at Platform 9 3/4, we went to the Diagon Alley (both at day and night) and of course we walked the Millenium bridge over the Thames! At King's Cross we also visited the Harry Potter shop to shop for our wands ;) (though they were so expensive that we didn't buy any) The Diagon Alley was shot at the Leadenhall Market, which you can find quite close to the Tower Bridge.

 

Saturday me and my sister spent at Olliver's Inn on their halloween party. My sister as Harley Quin and me as a cute/slit throat bunny! The party didn't last long for us though as I came back from London (more posts about that later) the same day and had like slept for 3 hours the night before so I was super tired.. But we had a fun time anyways! (: (everything's taken with phone, therefore the really bad quality....)

 

The last city on our trip was Vilnius. Which was consisted, to be honest, of only churches everywhere! But truly beautiful this city too, and the cheapest! A meal at a restaurant was 8€ and a beer at the bar was 2€. We also visited the castle of Trakkai and got to shoot with bow and arrow, and I gotta say that I was awesome at it! I should do it professionally! When we later visited the shooting range with real guns I wasn't so good anymore, and it was quite scary shooting with real guns.. We got to try a pistol, revolver, AK47 and a shotgun! Felt like a terminator with the shotgun ^^

 

The fall is here or has been or what to call it when it's minus degrees outside already... At least there are beautiful colors everywhere when the leaves are falling off! I will upload some more pics of the wonderful fall when i get to my laptop ;)

Now I'm in the train on my way to the Baltics. One week of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius with a bunch of exchange students. Gonna be grand! Though I still have to write a little on my thesis on the trip.

 

 

Saturday was spent in the spirit of Gamylis. Which is a student event for older students, that is second year and further. During the day we had about 12 stations to get to and perform a task of some kind. The pic below is our team of 8 amazing fun people. I still think we had the best team even though we didn't win any prices. We even had our own songs to go with our team name and everything, so the team spirit was on top! 

 

It is almost over 7 months that I haven't seen my classmate S, since she went to Austrailia for an internship and I went to Indonesia just before she returned home. So now that I have been home for almost 2 months we met at Raawka in Vaasa. Its a really small, and super cute place, which serves raw food. The day's salad was a huge plate with quinoa, and different vegetables. It was really good, better than expected! Though it took a while to eat the whole plate as we were talking so much and catching up on almost everything that had happened in 7 months.

Now its also time to work really hard on my thesis if I want to graduate in December. I got an email from my teacher saying that the first draft of the thesis has to be done by 7th of November if we want ot graduate this year... So I better get to it! I still have some theory to write and then to interview some people.

 

In Vaasa there is a place called Ritz, that organizes  cultural events, movies and other fun stuff. Me and my sister is active members there, which means that we work voluntarily and we get to go see all the event for free. This place is very cozy and has a large stage for different events and very good movies in the Kino. Ones a month they also arrange open stage so people can come perform live if they want. I have also performed a couple of times on this event. The place is awesome and there are great people here working and volunteering as we do. If you are in Vaasa you should definitely visit an event or just chill and have a beer or two there! If you live in Vaasa you can also become an active member like us or a supporting member that can also get discounts or free entrance to the events! 

 

It's quite a while ago that the Venetian festival was here in Finland, in the end of August. We celebrate the venetian because the summer cottage season is ending. There are no masks or fancy dresses like a real venetian party, just people gathering, mostly at the summer cottages, shooting fireworks. This year we celebrated it at home, with delicious pies and crayfish and a little bubbly. When it got darker we went swimming, in 41 celsius degree water! Super Hot! 

On Friday evening I attended Solar Sound Festival in Rewell Center in Vaasa. There were local DJs playing in the beginning of the evening and in the end there were Tungevaag, from Norway, and Raaban, from Sweden, playing a few tunes. To be honest I was a little disappointed that they didn't play all their songs, but we got shake our asses a whole lot so it was awesome. Visit my Instagram for a short video!

 

 

After 8 years of my own hair colour I decided to dye my hair just a little bit! So now I have a purple (or aubergine) coloured dip dye! 

 

My sister was kind enough to dye it for me and the first pic is from when we tried it out the first time. After that she has cut my hair, cuz it was way toooooo long and dyed the purple further up on my hair. The colour blend in quite good with my natural brown colour so it doesn't look so drastical. 

 

The second pic is from when we have dyed it further up. In the pic it's quite purple, but in real life it is a bit darker. So when ever I make a bun now its purple!
