My blog has been quiet up until the previous, Finnish beauty bloggers Advent Calendar, post. I spent spring and summer planning and thinking about my options. I stressed and panicked about what to do after my son turned three in September and I had to go back to work.

My blog has a new look!
Happy hump day :D We have published the new design for my blog. Yay!! It’s been a bit quiet here lately cos I have been battling stomach problems (IBS) and food allergies. I’m learning to eat low FODMAP and I have left all the dairy and wheat out of my diet so I’m starting to feel better now. I still have a lot of food allergies to figure out though. These things will probably come up again in a few different health related blog post in future.

So here’s how my summer went.

A day in Helsinki at Berner blogger event
Finnish company Berner has their own cosmetics brands (XZ, LV, Herbina etc.) and they also import beauty brands like IsaDora, Sensai, Clarins, Marc Jacobs, philosophy, Rimmel and others into Finland. This is a third time they hosted a blogger event to show us the new spring and summer products of their brands. I had a really fun day and here’s some of the things we got to see. If you can read Finnish there’s a lot more text on that side of my blog ;)
