30 day snap day #30

Hi everyone!
I cannot believe that this month has become to an end and that tomorrow is July. The month of June will stay in my memories because so much was happening this month.
When talking about the actual 30 day snap challenge, I can say that I ended up with quite a decent amount of pictures. I did skip a couple of days but I am still pretty pleased with myself. I also got many replies back from you and it made me really happy :)

Right now I'm visiting my nan in a town called Haapsalu. Today I decided to go for a  bike ride and  captured this very historical building. I just love this town!

Did you participate in the challenge?
What were you up to today?

30 day snap day #28

Hi everyone!

Today and yesterday were surprisingly cold after the one day of tropical climate. There hasn't been much going on. I've been riding around town with my bicycle, learning how to drive a car, reading quite a lot and just relaxing and enjoying the freedom.

Anyway, today I'd like to share a snap with you that I took from my bedroom window just as I was watching a film from telly (It was 'Letters from Juliet'- such an amazing film!). As it had just been raining a little and the sun had still not gone completely down, there was a bright piece of rainbow that I just had to capture.



How has your day been?

30 day snap day #26

Hi everyone!
Today was SUCH a hot day. It was about 30-35 degrees (celcius) outside and I just about died. With such a heat, all I wanted to do was to eat ice cream all day. I went swimming in the sea quite a few times which was very refreshing.
Tomorrow promises to be as hot as today. Oh god!

33 degrees!!!

30 day snap day #24

Hi everyone!

Today has been quite a lazy day. The weather was cloudy but very hot which made me want to sleep all day long.


Also, I just finished watching a film called "Soul Surfer" which is a true story based film that tells the story of a girl called Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm during a shark attack when surfing. She now is a professional surfer. This film takes the viewer through the difficulties of her journey. It is such an inspiring film and I highly recommend to watch it on a nice summer evening. I definitely got loads of motivation from this film!

What have you been up today?
Have you seen "Soul Surfer"?

30 day snap day #23


Hi everyone!
Today is a holiday in Estonia called the Midsummer's Eve. It is often celebrated in Scandinavia too. The night between the 23rd and 24th of June is the lightest night in the year; it basically does not go dark outside the whole night. Traditionally people have a nice barbeque on this evening/night, spend some time with their friends and family and chat outside. (And get VERY drunk!)

Yummmmm!

30 day snap day #22

Hi everyone!
Today was my big run. It is called 'The tough guy run' and it's basically a 10 km run full of obstacles to conquer for example crawling in mud, climbing over things and other fun stuff like that.
It was quite hard but my main goal was to complete the run which I did. I'm quite happy with myself and even though it's not an usual run, I think I will participate again next year! These kind of challenges really add spice to life!

Yes, that is indeed me swimming in not a very clear little pond which was one of the obstacles

Have you ever taken part of runs/races like this one? Tell me in the comments!

30 day snap day #19

Hi everyone!
I can't believe we're halfway through June already.. I can't imagine going to school in 2 months!
Yesterday was the 'big' graduation. It is a big blurry memory now because it all went by so quickly! And guess what.
I did not cry.
I was overwhelmed by how many people had come to congratulate me; it really was so sweet!
So I guess now I have 2 months of freedom in front of me which I know will go in no time.. I'll try to make the most of this summer!
Anyway, let's get cracking with the pictures.

I ended up not putting my hair up, I curled it instead



I don't think I've realised that I've graduated yet..

30 day snap day #18

Hi everyone!
I am so giving up on this challenge.

Anyway, tomorrow is the big graduation. Even the thought of it makes me want to cry. I will be a big mess tomorrow.
I went for a rather relaxing seaside walk with my mum and I really enjoyed taking photographs of the gorgeous sunset :)

Isn't it absolutely beautiful?


Please do keep your fingers crossed for me haha.

30 day snap days #12, #13 and #14 aka graduation preparation

Hi everyone!
Yes. It's been 3 days.
I'm really sorry.
I have been preparing for my English exam which I took today (I got an A), also preparing for my graduation.
And perhaps I'm just a horrible blogger.

Anyway, during the three days I have finally figured out what makeup look I will be doing on myself and the hairstyle I will be wearing.

I needed a belt to go with my dress but I didn't find one that would match with my shoes. So I bought some ribbon with some flower detailing on it and it matched perfectly! My mum is currently sewing some details on it so that I could wear the ribbon as a belt!


I don't usually ever wear my hair up but an elegant sock bun just looked so flattering with my dress! For the makeup I will be wearing a golden smokey eye.



This bun is massssive!!


Would you like me to do a post about my makeup look?

30 day snap day #11

Hi everyone!
Today has been so productive: I had two doctor appointments, school, I grabbed some lunch with my mum and then headed off to a department store to browse some of the beauty isles.
It might not seem like a lot of things but trust me- I've had quite a hectic day.
I also needed to write my graduation speech which I finished today.

30 day snap days 8 and 9

Hi everyone!

I went to a flea market yesterday to sell some of my old clothes. Well. It didn't go that well. I blame myself for not organising everything better. But I'll be smarter next time!
And I don't have a snap of it as well. Because I accidentally deleted all the pictures I took yesterday. :(

Today, however, I have a very appetising picture for you. In the morning we had our family friends over for breakfast. We had tons of food on the table and everyone was absolutely full after the feast. Our friends brought us two big pretzel shaped breads which we could not possibly fit in our stomachs anymore so we decided to enjoy them for tea this evening.
They are the best things I've ever eaten. Seriously.

A massive pretzel covered with lots of almonds and icing. I hope you're all drooling now :P

30 day snap day #7

Hi everyone!
Today I took an exam in Maths. And I got an A. Not gonna lie, I'm quite proud of myself. All the revision paid off!
In the evening I went out with a friend, we had a lovely time sitting in a cafe, having a nice chat. The old town of Tallinn is so multicultural, especially during the evening/ night time.

Once again, a picture of my feet. I just wanted to show you the shoes I wore out :)

30 day snap day #6

Hi everyone!
Today was a revision day. I went through the whole exam-prep book and I think I'm ready for the exam now.
I also managed to go for a little run which I, for some reason, didn't really enjoy. I think I was just nervous because of the exam, or tired.

30 day snap day #5

Hi everyone!
Today was another warm and sunny day. Me and my friend took advantage of the weather and went to the beach. It was lovely. We didn't get to be there for a long time though, because the wind suddenly turned to north and it was cold!! I'm kind of happy about that though, because just when I got home, I realised that my back was all red and a little bit burnt. Ouch. 
As I will be taking an exam in Maths on Friday, I also had to revise. I still have tomorrow so I wasn't quite panicking about it, but I still need to look at some formulas and make sure I won't be doing some silly mistakes in the exams that would lower the score.

Revision!

30 day snap day #4

Hi everyone!
Today has been a total fail. Me and my friends decided to go to the beach but as we got there, the clouds covered the sun and it started raining. After that the air got so cold we couldn't even be outside anymore. I don't know what's up with the weather recently.
I also went to see Hangover 3 which was kind of a disappointment for me. It just wasn't as good as the 2 previous movies. But oh well!

A precious rose after the rain

What were you up to today?
I would love to see your snaps!

30 day snap day #3

Hi everyone!

Today has been a weird day. It's been a big mess of studying, relaxing on the beach, nervously trying to catch a bus and being in dance class.
Sigh.

Once again, a picture of my feet. I just wanted to share the beach vibe with you.

What have you been up to today? Let me know! I would also like to see your 30 day snap pictures!

30 day snap day #2

Hi everyone!

Today was a hot day. Also a lazy one. I didn't do anything productive, I spent half of the day on a little beach and after that felt so tired that I literally slept in the sun the whole day. And read a book about Iceland. It was so nice.

(On a local beach) Air temperature- 28 degrees, water 22

Today I also had my first swim of the year. Last year I used to swim pretty much every day so I was quite excited to start my swim season again.
Also, the water was nice and cooling because of the air temperature being so high.

What were you up to today?
Are you doing the 30 day snap challenge? Let me know!

30 day snap day #1

Hi everyone!

Today is the first day of June which means that this month I will post a picture every day!


Today was "Wear a dress day". This day is not very well-known but the idea of it is to make women wear more dresses. Many women magazines all over the world have talked about this day and many people are joining the event every year.  I have been quite obsessed with skirts and dresses lately so I really wanted to participate. I chose to wear this vintage'y floral button up dress which I love.

What was your day like? 
If you also post a pic every day in June, please let me know, I'd love to see your pictures!
