Photo Blogging Challenge: Friends and Family


This is my fourth month taking part in the Photo Blogging Challenge and 'Friends & Family' is my favourite theme so far! I moved to England 5 years ago, I was 21 and left my family and friends in Estonia. It has been the hardest thing in my life but I also met so many interesting people, made new friends and found the love of my life!

Tristan and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this month. For the past 2 years he has been taking me out to fancy restaurants but we decided to do something different this year and have a quiet night in. We cooked Chicken Katsu Curry for dinner and just enjoyed each others company.


This is happy us.


We had a day out in Manchester and I tried to take a 'walking-selfie' but my friend Marianne photobombed it. It was funny, though!

Tristan has been spoiling me every Sunday with American-style pancakes. It has became our tradition.

I am very close to my mum and dad. Even though my family live back in Estonia, we see each other every weekend over Skype and sometimes end up talking for hours. They recently sent me a package - loads of Estonian sweets, chocolate and a heated blanket! They know me so well. I hate the cold, the temperature has dropped a lot recently and this blanket has come in handy!



I am looking forward to seeing everyone elses pictures. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the theme this month as much as I did!

    What a lovely post. Two years ago I only moved just 1 hour away from home, but I am actually finding it really hard being on my own all the time. I am so glad you have had a positive experience.

    P.s. I love your coat!!

    Oh, those pancakes look way to tasty! I'm glad you enjoyed this month and I hope May is as cool as this one. Your story about moving abroad is really interesting by the way! Have a nice day,

    I am glad you are enjoying living in Manchester. I moved city once and really missed my home town. You have a good set of photos and your dessert looks lovely!

    I have never seen pancakes that look like THAT and I've been in Amaerica all my life... So now I want to live where you live so I can get some of those American style pancakes.... Yum! The photo bomb is awesome... They can turn out so funny!

    Great set of photos. Those pancakes made me want to dive into my computer screen and grab them for me. They looked delicious.

    Thanks for sharing a bit about your move and settling into a new home along with some great photographs. Congratulations on your anniversary. While I don't live in America, I live in North America and like some of the other folks who've commented I've never seen pancakes like the ones you photographed. Do you have a recipe to share with us?

    I'm glad that you're experiencing new kinds of happiness in the 5 years you've been away from your home! I imagine it can be a very scary time, but it seems that it can also be a very rewarding and self-growing time.

    Great photos for the theme! The food looks delicious, and you and your man look like you both are having lots of fun together. :)

    And never underestimate the beauty in the simplicity of enjoying a nice home-cooked meal together with the one(s) you love. Sometimes the fanciness of going out defeats the purpose of the celebration: enjoying and reflecting back on the memories you've had together so far, and what great fun lies ahead! :D

    Wonderful photos! And isn't technology amazing that allows us to stay connected over such long distances?! Sometimes the best anniversaries are the ones spent at home with no pressure or outside distractions. I wish you all the best in the future.

    I think my comment didn't post. I might like your American-style pancakes better than American pancakes and I like those a lot! Lovely photos. I like the creeper in the photobomb! Happy Anniversary!

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...
