#monthlyfavorites September

I feel like September just rushed in and out. Days passed by so quickly. I can't believe tomorrow is October already! 

Like every month I have been loving some products more than others and I am here to share them :)

Thought: May you wake with gratitude - I love quotes and thoughts. In September I have been loving this one. Every morning when I wake up I try to think happy thoughts, be positive (even if I am super tired and would lovee to sleep longer!) and just be grateful for everything good I have in my life :):)

Book: Across the Universe - This is the first book of that trilogy. I absolutely loved that book! It was an easy read. I mainly read that in train on my way to work and back. I felt I really got to go into the story and I just couldn't put the book down! I am going to order two other parts very soon!

Treat: Fazer Pure Dark chocolate with roasted corn - mmm, I am enjoying the taste of this chocolate right now while writing this blog post. I love that the chocolate is dark (70% cocoa) and the roasted corn is a perfect compliment! The taste reminds me of something.. I don't know what, but when I eat it it just makes me happy and a bit nostalgic :)

Lip product: Rimmel lip balm Keep Calm and Party - I love purple lipsticks, but this purple sheer lip balm is the best! I like how it gives nice purple shade to your lips, but it's not like a lipstick purple. And it also keeps my lips moisturized. Only downside is the smell - doesn't smell good..

Activity: Finnish Course - In September me and my husband both started going to Finnish classes. It's twice a week and the beginners level. Even though I have already been through that level it's still nice to revise everything..and going to school with my husband is the best part of it! Plus surely getting new friends, learning more Finnish and being able to practice it!

Clothing item: Knee high socks - 2 years ago I got two pairs of knee high socks from my best friend for Christmas. She sent them all the way from Mexico. I have been wearing these socks like no other.. mostly in autumn and winter. When the weather got colder this month I dug up these socks again and have been wearing them so much throughout September!

Place: home - whenever it gets colder and darker I really enjoy being at home! I have been baking every weekend, burning candles, reading books and snuggling in my blanket while watching my favorite tv shows. Home is the best place to be at!

Thursday with tea and scones

Ma armastan küpsetamist ja üleüldse söögitegemist. Eile tegin õhtusöögiks kalakotlette, mida serveerisin riisi ja hapukurgi-majoneesi salatiga. Enne õhtusööki tuli isu küpsetada inglise saiakest..ei teagi, kuidas neid eesti keeles nimetada. Inglismaal kutsutakse neid English Breakfast Scones. Otsisin retsepti, milles oleks tavalise nisujahu asemel täistera nisujahu ning lisaks veel nisukliid. Ühe sellise leidsingi (SIIT) ja asusin küpsetama. Päris head tulid, aga kahjuks lisasin liiga palju mett ja need tulid suht magusad, kuigi ma plaanisin teha selliseid neutraalsemaid, mida saaks või ja singiga süüa. Ja ega mind nende magusus ei takistanud. Sõingi singi ja juustuga :)

//I love cooking. I made little fish-cakes with rice and cold sause for dinner last night. And I also had a baking mood. So, I made English Breakfast Sconces with whole wheat and bran. These are healthier than regular ones, but they taste the same good :)//

Täna tuli postiga mulle USAst Rebeccalt kiri ja lisaks sellele saatis ta midagi väga armast. Nimelt tegi ta mulle pisikese koti tee jaoks. Selles kotis on neli sahtlit, millesse saan mahutada teekotid. Ja saan need endaga kaasa võtta, kui kuhugi lähen. Nii hea mõte. Kui mul novembris töö pihta hakkab, siis võtangi selle sama kotiga oma lemmikteed tööle kaasa. Seal on meil väike köök, kus saame teed ja kohvi teha :)

Rebecca kirju on alati väga huvitav lugeda, sest me eriti Interneti vahendusel ei räägigi. Ta ei külasta facebooki väga tihti ja üleüldse on tal päris kiire elu :) Seetõttu ongi alati nii põnev lugeda, mis tal kõik vahepeal juhtunud ja toimunud on. Ja ega tema ka minu eluga kursis pole, nii et kui vastu kirjutan, siis mu kiri tuleb alati mitu lehekülge pikk. Kirjutasingi talle juba kirja vastu ning homme panen posti. Saatsin talle eelmine kord ka teed (see on vist meie väike traditsioon saata üksteisele enda uusi lemmikuid teepakke). 

//I got a mail from my friend Rebecca today. She sent me a letter and a little tea wallet that she made for me. It included 4 of her favorite teas. Such a nice little present! I absolutely love tea! She knows that, and she loves tea too. So, I send her my favorite teas pretty often too :) It's nice to share similar hobbies (like drinking tea. LOL). Anyway, I will definitely use this tea wallet when I start working in the kindergarten. We have a little kitchen there were teachers can make tea or coffee. And I can have my own favorite tea every day, even when I am at work :) Lovely! //

 Eile kudusin lõpuni pisikese sokipaari, mille plaanin kinkida enda sõbranna väikesele pojale jõuludeks. Loodan, et need on talle parajad :) Endale tegin suured sokid :D

//Last, but not least, I finished knitting these little socks for my friend's son. I will give these for him for Christmas :) I made big ones for myself! I love wearing warm socks when it's colder outside. :P //
