OH SUMMER WHERE ART THOU

This winter has been the cloudiest, therefore darkest in 50 years. This video gave me some light of hope as the day's will be now getting longer and lighter, yei!

FUTURE CALLS - PIHASALI YOGA STUDIO

About two years ago I finished my Bachelor degree in businesses and took off for a 4 months trip around the east part of the world. When I came back to Finland my mom suggested that I would take over her company, a yoga studio in Helsinki called Pihasali - Joogaa räjähtäneille. It wasn't even 12 hours from landing back to my home country but there I was, hearing myself answering "yes" to her question. My mind was going "What on earth are you thinking!? Are you crazy, lady?!" but the answer came from somewhere else, from the heart. So the next thing was to find out how to proceed with this project and one year later, summer 2012 I became the happy owner of our small yoga studio and joined the entrepreneurs colourful group! Here's some pics from our reopening and a video. Please have a look and hopefully you get the same feeling which we all had in the party, very happy and grateful.

More pictures of the party in our Facebook group. Pictures and video by Joni Helminen (except two last ones).

HELLO WORLD!

Okay soooo where to start. Maybe from the last post which was made in summer 2012 after visiting France for a yoga retreat. You remember that one? Well, I kinda got busy after it and disappeared for a while from the blogsphere. My apologies for it! What happened was that I bought my mother's business, a yoga studio in Helsinki called Pihasali - Joogaa räjähtäneille and became an entrepreneur. Exciting! But very VERY busy times! I was painting and renewing the studio during the summer and in the end of August we opened the doors again for a new season. If I wasn't busy enough before that things got quite hectic once the season and my new life started.

And if having one company wasn't enough I also got busy with NANNANDA recycled jewelries. So that's what's up!

This year has been quite a ride and I feel it's just starting! So many adventures, projects and plans ahead but I will try to brief you with the past year bit by bit. This is the first post after a long break but Hanna's Nest hasn't been buried, it is not dead. Just a small silence when my energy has been elsewhere but slowly this too will find it's own place again in the puzzle of my life.

So hello world, I'm back! Who's there?

PAINTING FUTURE

This is what the past week has been about: painting, cleaning, building, carrying, shopping, creating and smiling - a lot of smiling! Our yoga studio is starting to look like I've seen it in my dreams and soon we'll be opening the doors for everyone to see it. Exciting!!

BEST IN TOWN

DOTS AND TATS

At my old work place IVANAhelsinki, helping around for couple days when others left for
summer vacation! Here wearing IVANAhelsinki romper, nannanda necklace and
a secondhand vest. Mixed jewelries.

On another day feeling more lady-like so pulled on a red IVANAhelsinki dress and the same
old nannanda earrings, my all time favorites. 

ONE DAY

Hair salon Dandy's crew held the company's 3 year anniversary party in Suvilahti, Helsinki.

Last winter  I got to model for their hair-do-shoot, oh what a day of funny faces!

Vintage jumpsuit, shoes from Keep.

Spotted in Kaisaniemi park, Helsinki. Thank you anonymous artists for the reminder!

TAPAS FOR MAMAS

Going out for a dinner. Wearing vintage dress, bag, belt, shoes and necklace. Earrings made
by me, nannanda. 

Ladies in Bar Tapasta, Helsinki. I hadn't been there for  some time now, not after they've
renewed the place and was actually very happy with our food. Table full of different
kind of tapas and a carafe of sangria, perfect Wednesday evening!

Picture of my girl wearing nannanda earrings last evening. They look perfect on her!

Same earrings originally seen here. More pics in my Facebook group, check it out!

NAVY LADIES NIGHT

At my friends work studio house warming party some weeks ago. It was lively,
colorful and a fun night as you would guess when four art educators all working in
varying fields of art (and yoga!) are hosting their studio party!

Gorgeous theme dressing - aye sir!

I pulled on a vintage marine shirt from couple years back if you remember this post!
Still loving it!

Meri's art work. Isn't she talented little darling or what!
