Brrrrr....

WoW! Has been snowing for two days here in southern Finland!
Believe me, I love the snow but this morning when I went with Nala for a walk...mmm not so much! There was more than 20 cm of snow so it was very hard to walk, my average heart rate was 140 and I was just walking!! There was also a very strong wind so the snow was every where: in my frozen hair ( look the photo :S), inside my scarf..... brrr!! The only one who enjoyed the walk was my dear Nala <3

The next hour, after my 40 min of walk, was a disaster !!
My shoe broke and I forgot my porridge in the microwave!!! Not nice or easy to clean-up!
The best thing about this day was that I got to buy warms new shoes :D

Christmas wish list :D

My morning began with Christmas music: Michael BublĂ©, Christmas, 2011. Jei, just one more week and I can take out of the box my Christmas tree and I can decorate it!!!

At this time of the year I really miss Sicily, because I think about my childhood and how we used to spent our Christmas holidays. One big happy family (almost 30 person) spending the Christmas Eve at my grandparents´ home with food, drink and PANDORO! Omg I miss Bauli! :D
I found it here in Helsinki  but one little pandoro of 200g costs 3,50 € .

When we were child we wrote every year a letter for Santa, but I think that know the wish list is a little bit different :D

1- Tsaikka glasses








2- Cupcake Batter Dispenser













3- Angry Birds´ pajama hihi















And Santa, can you please some time bring SOME MONEY???  :D hihi

Wish you a happy Sunday!

Suunto M5

Last Saturday, after work, we went  to Intersport  to buy some sports clothes.
I did not buy clothes but I left the store with a new Suunto M5. It´s my Christmas present from Pekka!
It was a very good deal! 149 € and the GPS pod was included in the price (normally the clock costs 179€ and  just the pod 100 €). So I saved a lot of money and I have a very very nice heart rate monitor!
I already used it in my spinning classes and when I walk with the dog. Thanks to the Gps pod now I now that I walk every day almost 3 km with Nala. Not bad!

I also started to use two nice sports and exercise related social networking websites! They are like training diaries , but you save paper!
  1- Heia Heia      (www.heiaheia.com )
    2-Movescount  (www.movescount.com)


Today I have my second (and last) personal trainer hour! I´m looking forward to it!

Heart Rate Monitor

Good Morning!
Now that I decide to live a more healthy life I am thinking about buying an Heart Rate Monitor. I never owned one so I´m not so sure wich one should I buy. I have two options: Suunto M4 109€ and Suunto M5 145€.  I really like the first one for the color and the price but Suunto M5 includes the movestick. With the movestick you can share your training experience in Movescount.com.


If you have experience with this two heart rate monitors please leave a message!

Keep-Fit!

1.11.2012 I decided to join the gym :D

It was very hard decide where to join because here is very expensive, more than 70€/moth, but my boyfriend told me that if I go to the same gym as he, the second family member pay just 55€/moth, so I decided to join  Fressi. =)

I started with Zumba and some easy group training hours, but this week the real training starts!
Today at 15:00 I have my first personal trainer meeting! She will make me a fitness program and I hope that I have enough patience and enthusiasm to continue more than just one moth :D

Normally I do not eat breakfast but If a want to train well I need also to eat well.
I´m not ready to say goodbye to pasta, bread and other treats but  I promise to myself  to try :D Will see....
Today I start my morning with this delicious baked apple yogurt, a fitness bar( I forgot to buy the muesli) and one apple :)


Have an amazing day everybody <3

Party Dress

Why buy a new party dress that you will be using maybe once or twice?

I don´t care about that :D Every year I  like to buy a new dress for Christmas and New Year´s Eve just because  I´m one of that women that like to buy a new dress for each event! It´s funny and cheer  you up :) And remember, new does not necessarily mean expensive :)

This year I found this fabulous website www.nelly.com and I think I will buy one of these dresses:



1.

2.


3.


4.



1. TFNC / ELIDA BODYCON DRESS 64,95€
This one is my favourite but also the most expensive of all. It just so beautiful! It´s black and great for all the occasions  <3

2. JEANE BLUSH / PAMELA DRESS 59,95€
Look at this dress! It says " buy me , I´m perfect for Christmas! "

3. JOHN ZACK / CHIFFON DRAPE DRESS 49,95€

4. CLUB L / LACE UPPER BANDEAU DRESS 24,95€
These two dresses are very nice but not so elegant as the other two dresses. The last one is also very cheap and great for my budget :D And you can easily use both at normal parties.  




                                    Which one should I choose?
