REALITY CHECK

(If you were live and kickin' in the 90's you'll remember this)



Sometimes I visit blogs where the person is presented in a so unbearably hip way I wonder how they manage to actually fucking breathe. (And I think "Oh Come On" but perhaps that's just because I can be a real asshole sometimes.) And I see others - mostly young and waiting for things to happen I guess - heedlessly swoon over certain blogs or persons on the internet. It is true some persons lives are more interesting and some lives more fabulous, but one thing about blogging is that you very much get to -and should- choose which side or which things you do show. Some choose to blog about certain things, some about other, some a little about everything. Some do it more some do it less personal. Of course one reason why I read and browse blogs is exactly for those pretty and inspirational pictures and details! And often also for laughs and eye rolling and quite much for that little peak in to someone's elses life, that's different from mine. Or perhaps even similar.



But what everyone should remember is that everybody out there does go to the toilet and gather up unwashed dishes at some point, nobody wakes up every day with a sexy bed hair fluff nor lives a life full of just rosy stuff, everyone has their issues although blogged images may tell a different story. (For example our home does of course not always look as sleek as in the pictures I post, it is most often messy. Sometimes it's a charming mess, mostly just terrible. And we all know what I look like at work :)



I'm not making a bigger than life point here, only saying that everyone should take it with a little hint of salt, and no one, no matter how pretentious one may be, should ever take oneself too seriously.



Well, you all go on and have a nice night now!

(I will enjoy my evening with a glass of red and some Puccini, yes. But by a messy table and with oh so un-attended hair.)

ONE THOUSAND AND MORE

The Freelancer's Fashion Blog has over one thousand followers trough blogger and some hundreds at other places. I think that's pretty amazing! And it makes me all honoured and humble.

See, very humble and full of appreciation.

You know I always visit each and every blog of yours through the comments you leave me, even though I may not always comment back. Thats if I don't have anything smart to say. And as said before, I have a terrible lot of things to do, so sometimes it may take me shamelessly long to answer an email of yours. But eventually it will happen :)

Now I'm off for a wedding elsewhere, but keep you eyes open in the near future since there will be more giveaways and treats coming up...

But until then, have a lovely weekend everybody!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

EARLY BIRD


There will be a pyjamas party over at Dotti's blog.

As I tend to sleep like Marilyn I'll just join in my morning kimono instead. And as much as I would've wanted to take it easy this morning and stay in bed all day long I had to get up early, pack a whole lot of stuff and head to a studio far out of town. But more on that tomorrow.

WINNER


As you know my "All that was before 2010"-competition/giveaway ended last week. Thanks to all who participated, and thank you for all your ovely comments. I always appreciate every comment and all feedback I get on any post (except for those copy-paste-read-my-blog comments, spam and sneaky marketing of course :) and I do always pay a visit to everyone that leaves me a comment, even if I do not always have the time to comment back. The same goes for email I receive, sometimes it may take a very long time for me to answer, but one day I eventually will.

The winner will receive this lovely vintage mirror necklace. If you fancy it but weren't the lucky one this time, and if you're around Helsinki, there are a few more similar ones at Hoochie Mama Jane, from where I also got this one!



And our winner is....


...Prefecta!

Her favorite post was this one; a post I was rather happy with when made, even though I didn't know how to code the images larger back then:

SWEET TEETH

The mail man dropped something very nice through the mail drop this morning; my Milk Toof book I had ordered not that long ago but almost forgot about already! Which of course made me very happy since I've been in love with these small theeth a long time.
Oh ♥









If some of you are not familiar with My Milk Toof yet, I suggest you take your time and browse trough the whole site. You'll love it! It's the sweetest blog I know. The book is sold out by now though, but I'm happy I was there in time to get myself a copy.
