Walking and Enjoying Summer!

Basically the whole weekend went by walking. We walked Saturday in Salo about 10 kilometers. I went to highschool in that small town, so it was funny to be there again as I haven't been there for such a long time. I got a chance to remember some of the teenage memories that came into my head while I showed some places to my boyfriend. Very nostalgic!
Yesterday we biked total 8 kilometers as we went to the beach here in Turku. The weather was so nice that after a coffee break we decided to take a walk, which ended up being about 15 kilometers. It was relaxing and beautiful to see flowers and butterflies and the evening sun.
In the evening I was really tired and it has continued even still today, but I have to get productive enough to make some food in a minute. 







These pictures were taken yesterday. I find it that it's really a great way to spend a relaxing weekend by exploring new places. It takes my mind off from worries so I'm not stressing over the little things in life.

Quick and Healthy Snack Option!

I think that I've found the best snack for me. I have had difficulties eating healthy yet satisfying snacks during my days. I've always wanted something super quick and really filling. Too often I've gave up for chocolate bars or cookies, when I've felt super hungry.   This summer it all changed and I have been loving Greek yogurt, because it's quickly made and really filling. It gives me right amount of energy to keep going either with work or training. It's nice to add some berries, nuts and honey in it for making the yogurt tastier and sweeter. In that way it also helps me to get over occasional sugar cravings and it's a lot better replacement for chocolate cookies for sure. I usually like to add bananas, cranberries and honey in my favorite mixture but the variations are endless. I'm so glad that I have finally started to make effort in eating at least a bit healthier.
I'm going to make one of these right now before I head out for jogging. 






 Sweet last summer days!

22

Last Monday I turned 22 and I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday with the greatest people. A little party never killed nobody right? ;)
We drank the wine, which we bought while we were in Greece and it brought up all the nice summer memories.  I also was lucky to have the one of best morning as I got cake for breakfast, which has never happened to me before.








Enjoy the last summer days! :)
