The first answer post is ready! So many questions there!! I try to answer to most of them, so this really is just the first part. I tried not to pick too many for one post, so that my answers wouldn’t be in a yes/no/maybe -kind of style. And so that no one would fall asleep in the middle of reading!
Ensimmäinen vastauspostaus tulee täältä! Suomenkieliset kysymykset seuraavaan juttuun. 🙂 Kysymyksiä tulikin ihan valtavasti, koitan vastata suurimpaan osaan, eli aika monta osaa näitä taitaa tulla! En ota liikaa kysymyksiä nyt yhteen, ettei vastailu menisi sellaseksi joo-ei-ehkä-tyyliseksi, ja ettei ihmiset nukahtaisi siellä puolessa välissä!
What’s your job?
I’m a full-time blogger and a freelancer journalist. My main job is blogging.
How much free time do you have every day? And what do you do in your work?
My work and free time are so mixed together, that it’s quite impossible to say. Blogging covers many things, and I often work throughout the day some way. Not only the posts, meaning planning+writing+shooting+editing (I love doing it, so time flies and I don’t even notice how many hours I can spend on one post), but also collaborations, e-mails and different projects. I also do some journalist things for Costume magazine. Right now I’m working on a two page article, how to style one cloth piece in different outfits. Today I visited showrooms to pick up some clothes I want for the photoshoot. This article is so fun to do, covers planning+styling+modeling+writing! I love doing many different things and having the freedom to be creative.
But I also have to mention, that blogging is not only a bed of roses, just easy and fun. Like every job, it also has downsides. You can never really go on a vacation or put on a non-work mood like that. For me that’s fine though! It’s also the kind of job you take personally, you have to learn not to be too sensitive. You put yourself out there to a virtual world where anyone or everyone can judge you, the way you look or the way you live, your personality etc. And all that just by the small part of your life that you show on your blog, like it was the whole truth. Especially in the beginning of blogging I remember being misunderstood often, and it felt like I was seen just as a superficial fictional character, not a real girl with normal problems and life. But I’m so happy that doesn’t happen that much anymore 🙂
When you first launched your blog, did you ever think that it will be that influent and famous?
Not at all! I made it first just for myself, and thought that maybe some of my friends would read it if I told them. I never tried to make it famous, suddenly things just started to happen and the amount of readers started to increase. There was no finnish blogs back then 7 years ago, so I didn’t have a clue you could be successful for having like a virtual diary, it was just something I had started for fun. If someone had told me back then that I would end up blogging for my living, I would have laughed so hard! 😀 But oh how grateful and happy I am, for having that boring night when I decided to start a blog.
You took courses in journalism school?
I did take some courses in journalism in open university, and also in photographing.
I remember you said that you worked for a month or something in Italy. What did you do? How did you get that job? Were you there alone or with some friend? Tell something about that time 😉
I went there alone, and I got that job (at a classical music festival) through contacts. I was a little fed up with everything in Finland that time and was really excited to change the scenery for a month and experience something new. Turned out nearly anyone spoke English and I felt so alone there! The job was also physically really hard, and the only free-time I had was from 12pm to 7am, for sleeping. But that trip definitely changed me, when I got back home I could see the things more clearly that I was running away from, and made some changes in my life. That summer 2009 was like a big changing point for me 😀
What kind of music you listened to, when you were a teenager?
Mostly rnb and rap. To name a few favorites: Akon, 50 cent, Justin Timberlake, Flo Rida, Gym Class Heroes. And my dream man was Pharrell Williams!
Are you fan of anybody? Who do you admire?
Does a fictional character count? If so, I’d say Carrie Bradshaw. I’ve been watching a lot SATC lately, and she’s just amazing! The kind of person you can relate to, not perfect and being proud of it. She’s brave, loyal, spontaneous, knows how to let go and be a little bit crazy. Social and outgoing but is still able to go movies and cafes just by herself and enjoy her own company.
What apps do you have in your iPhone?
WhatsApp, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook & Messenger, Tabata Timer, Moves, news app. Photo editing apps: VSCOcam, Afterlight, a Beautiful Mess, PicFX, Flipagram. (Not any games or other fun apps to kill time- tips needed!)
Where is the white T-shirt in this picture from?
Calvin Klein. Okay this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but it’s my sleep shirt… I was in a rush while changing clothes and I only threw on my favorite black jeans and kept the night shirt, haha
Where do you buy your black jeans?
Topshop, the model is called Moto Leigh supersoft skinny jeans. I have two of them, they are perfect!
Which of your handbag you wear the most?
Lately LV Neverfull. All my stuff always fits there, it’s a magical bag! I can carry there at the same time my camera, laptop, gym things, and all basic essentials. When I go out or just want to look more dressed up I usually choose the Prada bag, and for an everyday look if I don’t have too much stuff then I choose the new Saint Laurent one. And for a party where I don’t need nearly any things with me, then I choose the Aila clutch, on the picture above it’s the patent leather one with the big chain.
What is your vision about happiness?
Being happy with yourself and your life, finding happiness in small everyday things, being grateful and appreciating life. Health, love, being active and getting pleasure out of things. Having a peaceful state of mind and balance in life, still knowing how to have fun and be carefree, not stress about the small things.
Do you meet your friends every day? Do you have those days when you just walk around the city alone?
I meet almost every day some of my friends. It’s so easy to live where I live, because I can always walk in five minutes to the centre to have a cup of coffee with someone or go for a lunch or a gym date or anything. But there are days when I happen to be just by myself doing the everyday things. So I don’t have a problem with walking around the city alone!
Where do you buy your clothes?
Some of my favorite shops and brands: Zara, Mango, Acne, French Connection, Brandy Melville, Massimo Dutti, Topshop, Filippa K, BikBok. I usually do proper shopping (if you can say so) only when I’m traveling. About half of these brands/shops I mentioned are also here in Helsinki, so I can sure find nice thing here too, but I try to do most shopping on trips. 🙂 Living in the city centre is dangerous though…
What are your wardrobe key items?
Tops: a good fitting white t-shirt, a loose sweater in some soft material, a silky blouse
Bottoms: dark skinny jeans, a black mini skirt, leather pants
Jackets: a leather jacket, some flattering blazer, a wool coat and a parka
For party: little black dress(es)!
Shoes: black boots, ballerinas, high heels that go with every dress
Accessories: a black leather bag for everyday use, a gold watch and delicate tiny bracelets
How would you describe your decor style?
I like white, girly, cozy and decorative things. Romantic style with modern details. I love cushions, having lots of them, mixing and matching different materials, patterns and textures.
How many square feet has your apartment?
34 if I remember right // edit: in square meters, so in square feet 366?
Do you live only by yourself?
Yep I do 🙂
How long do you sleep?
8 hours usually. People say when you grow up you don’t need that many hours anymore, but I do, otherwise I’m yawning the rest of the day.
Is your hair naturally straight or wavy?
Straight but tiny bit wavy. In the picture above you can see how it goes if I don’t do anything, at least that’s usually the case. I don’t spend much time doing my hair, but some days my hair really decides to hate me and then it can be impossible to do anything with it, but those are the ponytail or bun days.
How many times a week you wash your hair?
For about every other day
What’s your weight and height?
I haven’t measured any of these in a long time, but my guess would be 162-163 cm and probably around 50kg. Weight is something that I’m not even interested to know, how I feel and how my clothes fit tell enough.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No
When was the last time you had a boyfriend?
A proper boyfriend, uhmm long time ago, 4 years I think. I’m happy with being single, if I meet someone who’ll change my mind then I’m done with being single. But in general I’m not a relationship type of a person, I don’t have any problem with being single and being alone without being lonely
I wanted to know if you had a serious/long relationship with a guy?
I’ve had a couple boyfriends, my longest relationship lasted for over an year.
What kind of a man would you like to be with?
Someone with a good humor and who gets me. I can tell immediately if I have the right kind of chemistry with someone or not, there just needs to be that something, the it factor. Not sure what it is, can’t be named. You all sure know what I mean!
Would you like to get married in the future? And having kids?
Some day yes.
What do you think about love?
I think it’s everything! A life without any kind of love would be empty. I couldn’t live without my friends and family, and besides people, doing things I love. All things that gives you pleasure I count as love.
How do you make your life so ideal and organized? I want to be an organized girl too. How to do it?
I couldn’t live without my calendar, I need to have everything wrote down there so I know what’s happening and when. I also like to keep my home clean in order to have my head clear. Besides my home taking care of myself is also important for me, like the basic things. If I wouldn’t take care of these things everything would just feel like whatever. So routines and rituals help me. I need to work on many things though, answering e-mails and messages right away and being on time, those are my biggest problems. And my sleep pattern. My friend just asked, why is it that every morning when she logs in Facebook the chat says I was online just a couple hours ago. Haha, wonder why!

I’m glad you did this post, I’m looking forward to part 2 and 3 if there is one, but I think it’s great getting to know you more as you seem more open now than you did before, but I understand why you were reserved because receiving negative comments and abuse from people is horrible. It’s happened to me before and it’s horrible, but it does make you stronger!

Parisian Bird says
I love this type of posts because it allows you to know more about the blogger as a person instead of only the things he/she appreciates in life. And you genuinely look like a good person. I found out about your blog two years ago because of a friend and one of the things that kept me coming here – besides your amazing taste in clothes – was your personality. Most of the bloggers I follow have this sarcastic and kind of arrogant attitude (not that I don’t appreciate it or else I wouldn’t like their work!) but you sound more like a real-life-kind-of-girl which is nice.
June says
Hi. First of all, love your blog! Second, where did you get your agenda/day planner? It looks super cute.
Rebecca says
Oh I love that post! Can’t wait for the next part. Even if it took a while to read it through I simply couldn’t stop. You have such a good style of writing. And I admire you that you can talk about so many (in my opinion) very personal things on your blog. It makes you even more sympathetic 🙂 xx

Kysymykset siksi ku sulla näytti olevan just sellainen kangassohva josta oon haaveillu! Ja tänään tulee joku ostamaan mun vanhaa sohvaa ni pitäis uus saada tilalle sunnuntain synttäreihin mennessä. 🙂 kiitti jos kerkeät vastata!

thank you for this post, you’re such a lovely person 🙂 and very honest to your readers.
I liked most of answers, specialy about Italy and boyfriend. not having boyfriend and feeling great of being alone makes you sound like your favorite fictional character Carrie :))
and what did you mean “And my sleep pattern. My friend just asked, why is it that every morning when she logs in Facebook the chat says I was online just a couple hours ago. Haha, wonder why!”. It means you’re going to sleep late or still get up at 5 am?
inspired with your self-discipline and attitude!

I know this is not the “ask me” post, but can I make another question for the case you do the part 2 and 3?
If I remember right, you’ve said you’re shy. What I wanted to know is if you have trouble talking with strange people, and what do you do to overcome this. How do you approach new people at partys and in everyday life in general?
Vanessa says
I absolutely love your blog!! You´re gorgeous *.*
Great post Marianna 🙂 I like these kind of posts because there often are a lot of new infos which are very interesting.

Jay A. says
Hey Marianna!
Not sure if you read comments on older posts, but here I go anyway… must say that you look radiant and beautiful even if you’re wearing you’re sleep shirt and are the cutest littlest thing at 163cm – 5′ foot, 4″ inches. 🙂 You are photogenic, which is why I would love to have you model for me on a couple of fashion shoots this year. Your decision of course; if any of that even happens. For now I can only continue insisting on trying to win your trust and friendship.
BTW, you sound just like my sister when expressing yourself about personal relationships, this week my sister wrote a tweet, that sounds very similar to how you think. I’ll share it with you and you can check it out if you’d like: https://twitter.com/BriArguelles/status/423297227654582273
Without question alot of similarity between you both, maybe the reason why I admire you the most, since you know exactly what you expect from yourself. Nothing I value and respect more than an independent woman. But needless to say that letting someone else pamper you once in a while can also be great.
Anyway, thanks for being so open to all your readers and myself on your Q&A posts. Love the fact that we are getting to know a side of you that we never knew before, thanks for being so down to earth and sweet.
Regards,
Jay
