November wellbeing for me also means changing your perspective and getting on a little trip with the Silja Serenade cruise from Helsinki was just what was needed ✨

@veerabianca and I stayed in their cosy Commodore cabin with @marimekko theme (and balcony) that also gets you access to the lounge and sauna with views out to the sea 🤍

I’ve always loved being on board a ship, and you can make these trips just the experience you want: delicious food, some shopping, wellness, stunning views of the nature and a great nights sleep 😌

The historic centre of Helsinki never gets old to me - the Downtown Helsinki area is not only beautiful, but also a great way to get in the Christmas mood, support local businesses and embrace the vibes of our beautiful town this time of year. I’m lucky enough to have my office right in the heart of it and every time I stroll around downtown, I am so thoroughly happy to be there. Let this be your sign to venture for a trip downtown!

Here are my top tips on how to spend a cosy day downtown:

📚Learn about the city at Helsinki City Museum @helsinginkaupunginmuseo

✖️NOVEMBER WELL-BEING: Tavis Amanda stands str

✖️NOVEMBER WELL-BEING: Tavis Amanda stands strong for Mental Health 🌟 // pro bono collaboration with @unwomensuomi @menaiset @terveystalo

In the heart of Helsinki, meet Tavis Amanda: created through 3D printing: she stands proudly at the corner of Sofiankatu and Pohjoisesplanadi. While Havis Amanda is on her spa retreat, Tavis Amanda will greet visitors during Mental Health Week (November 19th-26th) with this year’s theme focused on emotions.

🙆‍♀️ Social media tends to portray a polished side of our lives, which can contribute to a strong sense of inadequacy in many young women, adding to appearance and performance pressure. Tavis Amanda wants to raise awareness to this issue, and get, especially us women, talking about our role in society and expectations associated with that.

👩‍👧‍👦 A couple of weeks ago I spoke about how I struggle with balancing my own life abroad and responsibilities towards my family in my home country. With aging relatives, and being far away, it is an issue on my mind constantly. In that post, curiously only womxn brought up their concerns about the matter, and that was really interesting. So maybe it’s a good moment to continue the conversation, and include Tavis Amanda in the discussion!

🌻 I have openly talked about my issues with a diagnosed anxiety disorder over the last years. Mental health is just as important as our physical health, and it deserves our attention and care. November is again a good month to check in with yourself. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness 🤍

🤝 This project, supported by Terveystalo, UN Women Finland, MeNaiset, and restaurant Salutorget, is a collaborative effort to address and help with mental health challenges. Illustrated by Sanna Mander and brought to life by Maker3D and Fantasia Works, Tavis Amanda stands as a testament to the importance of embracing our true selves✨

November wellbeing meant one important thing: fina

November wellbeing meant one important thing: finally go visit @rauhaniemi folk spa and sauna in Tampere - I had been here for a quick viewing for a project in May and have been wanting to come here since.

The sauna is traditional and rugged and amazing and truly local. The lake was wild and icy and incredible. @lottasaahko joined me for a perfect afternoon and evening in Tampere, that we ended with a delicious visit to the original @pizzeria_luca who did not hold back with toppings and that was great too.

What an excellent way to spend a Monday. I’m ready for bed.

The lights and the parade are beautiful and wholesome and all but my personal highlight are the police horses and their little antlers. Every year I get so happy and excited and this year they were extra cute 🤍✨🎄

Forever my favourite facade decor, this cranky frog holding up the little tower (also the windows make an angry face). You can find this unique piece at Kasarmitori.

When I show people around Helsinki, I always encourage people to look up and pay attention to the details. There are so many intricate little things all around the city that are easy to miss as we go about our daily lives.

November health month assignment: take a moment to look at the small things around you: door knobs, window trims or ceilings. I can almost guarantee that you’ll discover something magical ✨

✖️NOVEMBER // 9-year business anniversary 🎉

✖️NOVEMBER // 9-year business anniversary 🎉

November is also a special month for me because I get to celebrate my entrepreneurship journey. It took me a while to really accept it as an achievement, to be honest.

I didn’t choose a path that will make me rich and/or famous (it was never my goal anyway) and I can say with 100% confidence that I am the happiest ever with this choice. I love my projects, assignment, clients and colleagues (many of them are also friends by now), I value my freedom and flexibility and a comforting mix of familiar and new things to do every day.

This photo was just a quick selfie on the way back home after a little celebratory brunch with some of my nearest and dearest companions from the last years and my heart is full (my belly too) 🤍🤍 thank you all for being there and being a part of this. There are so many incredible people who have helped me on this path and I’m forever grateful.

Your November wellbeing month assignment hereby is to allow yourself to celebrate yourself, toot your own horn, toast to being amazing, and all that good stuff. It’s ok to acknowledge where you are and appreciate also the small victories. Cheers 🥂🤍

✖️NOVEMBER WELLBEING MONTH // sauna and wellne

✖️NOVEMBER WELLBEING MONTH // sauna and wellness

Sauna is an important part of wellbeing in Finland year-round, but winter is my favourite - mainly because of this 🤍 last year in November I started my Sauna Sundays at @laguuniin and I can’t wait to do that again every week.

The dip in the icy water makes you feel incredible. For me, the perfect way to wind down and get in the right mindset for the week. So if you can, plan a Sunday sauna for this weekend!

I’ll share my sauna must-haves for the best experience in my stories in a bit 🤍
