1. My enthusiasm towards working out comes and goes, but I’ve always enjoyed doing sports, so I try to keep it as some kind of routine for me. But it’s simply out of wanting to feel good. I’ll choose a night out with friends over gym anytime, even if it meant one week lasting hangover and just laying in bed. (I still hope I’ll never experience that.) In summertime I have to admit I’ve been rarely seen at the gym, maybe once or twice, but I’m not feeling guilty, I’d rather be outdoors and wait for the autumn yoga mood to come back.
2. I love super sweet sugary tasting drinks. I get so often laughed at for this! When I’m being asked what that pink drink is, yes it probably is something like strawberry lime candycotton champagne cider. If it means you’ll be an adult when you learn to drink red wine, I’ll never grow up. My excuse is that I get a headache from that though, happens to be true! On my opinion red wine is made for sangria, but that’s just a sneaky way to get the same headache.
3. I feel like Peter Pan some way. I feel sometimes like living in my own world. In a good way, alone but not lonely kind of way. Or maybe I just think too much and have too colorful imagination.
4. Almost all my friends are living in a stable lasted-since-highschool-relationship, knowing they are with someone they want to marry. Makes me feel like that green coated flying forever young creature even more. Hard to imagine not being single. But I’m truly happy for my friends and the same time happy for me, everything is good just like this. (Until a hot stranger comes in my life one day and messes up my independent single life, perhaps Jude Law, or maybe David Beckham if he loses the beard… Oh and the wife)
5. I have only a few best friends, but in real friends quality over quantity. I don’t think there could be any dark secret I couldn’t tell them about, real friends don’t judge and only push you forward through hard times.
6. It brings me joy when a spontaneous idea comes in my mind, no matter how silly or crazy or unlogical it is, and I decide to turn plans into action. Like learning something new, finding a new place somewhere, creating something new. Anything, if it means discovering something new. I want to learn and grow, not get caught in the same circles.
7. I’m interested in architecture and one dream job for me as a little girl was to design houses and also interior design. Then I found out I didn’t love math enough.
8. Designing houses reminds me… I’ve had a craving to play the sims for a long time now. Is it weird wanting to buy a new computer so it could run the sims? // Update: I did buy a new computer. Guess what was the first thing I downloaded and installed…
9. I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to computers and technology. I was actually just considering between two computers at an apple store and asking the guy about them which one I should get and ended up arguing about the qualities.
10. My mum works in that kind of area – web design – which might have something to do with being slightly nerdy.
11. When I was a kid I read many of those create your own website -books, eventually maybe led to creating my first blog.
12. I was anonymous on my first blog, I thought I’d never reveal my face and true name. And when I got noticed for being that girl from the blog for the first time at a grocery store it was really close I stopped blogging, it freaked me out. I wouldn’t have believed it in million years if someone told me blogging would become my job one day. I need to put a post-it on my wall to remind myself to be grateful!
13. 13 is my lucky number. I was born 13th October which is maybe why I first decided it’s a good number. I don’t know if it has ever brought any luck, I’ve just decided it’s a good number. And that’s why I decided to stop these facts right here, good karma for my post…

Anna says
I don’t know, but this post made me loving and adoring you even more. I’m sure there are so many things your readers don’t know about you, but once in a while it’s nice that you’re showing more of yourself. It’s not only about fashion, food, traveling and fancy stuff – I think it’s also a lot about the person behind it. And for me, even when I don’t know you in person, you are an amazing person Marianna. 🙂 There were some moments where I was really disappointed in your behavior, but some people (including me sometimes…) simply forget you’re just a normal girl like your readers. I still think you should put more effort in replying to comments and mails.
Sorry for this random comment, but I had the feeling to tell you that.
Take care and lots of love.
Anna
anonymous says
I agree with U, she should reply more on questions especially when it comes to outfits because so many girls ask and don’t get an answer, which is really upsetting me… therefore I start with a question to you marianna: where is the shirt with the red roses from? I hope you will answer this time, thanks.
Aimee says
You’ve made this comment several times now in the last post… At some point, it’s time to move on.
marianna says
The shirt with the roses is from Topshop 🙂 Not the newest collection though…
And thank you Anna, I know what you mean. 🙂
Anna says
Oh and I don’t think you’re not grateful, you are. 🙂 and thank you. You know I love you. <3

Hey, is there a possibility that you show the front of that beautiful shirt in the first photo?

Hahha! Okay deal, Jude Law is mine and you can have Beckham. (comes with kids and maybe a haunting ex-girlfriend.)
More outfit pictures coming soon with the floral Topshop shirt! 😉

It’s fun to read some things about you Marianna! Haha the Sims, where’s the time I played that? Gosh you just reminded me how much fun that was. I remember I had a code to crack the system so I could immediately get a lot of money and build a huge house 😀 Aah yes good times…
Oh, and 13 is my lucky number as well, I was born on the same day as you, only 2 years earlier 😉

Leni says
I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while now and you inspire me a lot when it comes to fashion. Finding out that we obiously think in a similar way makes me love your blog even more. I hardly ever read the comments and I never commented on any of your posts before. I kind of guessed by skimming them this time though that people critizised you for not replying to comments or emails. That’s why I felt like writing a comment for the first time ever. So here we go. I don’t think you need to reply to anything if you don’t feel like doing it. People admire you and want to be friends with you. And even though they might feel like they know you because they have been following your blog for a while, they forget that in the end we are all strangers to you. Aside from that, the free-minded Peter Pan would never do anything he doesn’t feel like doing too.I hope this blog will exist for many more years and I’m curious for all the posts to come!
Lots of love from Hamburg, Leni
marianna says
Thank you so much Leni, I’m happy you decided to comment! 🙂 I always read every comment so I kind of feel like knowing people because I also often check my readers’ blogs and remember names etc, but I know I might seem distant sometimes not answering.
Thank you for the support! <3

Loved this article, it’s always nice to know the person behind the blog a bit more, my first blog was anonymous too but I didn’t really take it so seriously, now I feel like a blog is where you can express yourself, it’s like a little diary you share with the world.

Loved this post! Its really nice getting to know you more 🙂
I love playing sims!! I have it on my computer too!
What kind of things did you talk about in your first blog?
Have a good day sweetheart!
Xx
marianna says
It was a lot about dream outfits (created with just picking things from online shops) and celebrity styles and random fashion news. Then I started to use my own pictures where I had cropped my head off 😀 So funny to think how much everything has changed.
Have a good day you too Nancy, and thanks!! X

These are adorable! You remind me a lot of me. I get unreasonably excited over new ideas and minuscule plans (I’ll make a “summer list” or “fun weekend activities list”), and I’m a definite computer nerd. To top it off, I wanted to go into architecture until math got in the way as well 🙂

Wow, I could already relate quite a lot to you when you’ve shared stuff about yourself in the past, and this post just adds to the list, haha! The sweet drinks, “thinking too much”, “colorful imagination”, being single forever while friends are in long-term relationships, architecture as a dream job, but then math got in the way… this is all SO me!

Hahaaa, oon myös niin kauan halunnu taas pelailla simiä. Muistan, että nuorempana saatoin rakennella/sisustella taloja tuntitolkulla 😀 Parasta oli myös latailla kamoja ja vaatteita netistä…hemmetti nyt on kyl pakko hommaa sims(2!). 😀
PS. suurin syy miks luen tätä blogii ja tuun uudelleen ja uudelleen tätä selaan, on se, että sun kirjotukset saa mut aina hyvälle tuulle, tai fiiliksestä riippuen työstään jotain mielen päällä olevii asioita. Teet juttuja joista itekki tykkään, sun tyylis kolahtaa aina ja kirjotat jutuista, joihin mun on niin helppo peilata omii tuntemuksii. 🙂
Ihanaa kesän loppua. Kesä on parasta aikaa olla Peter Pan!

I’m reading your blog now also for many many years but I never commented before.
I need to say thank you because discovering your blog made me starting my own blog and with the time I totally changed.
I’m so much more self confident now and my style changed and my opinion to everything too.
Without you I’m sure I wouldn’t be at this point in my life 🙂

It was really lovely to read about you in that way! You seem to be very fun person to talk with. And I was so happy when I read that you’re into The Sims, too. I just thought that I was wasting my time dreaming about playing it again 😀

Great post and as many of me have said before: It makes you even more likable. I also used to play The Sims when I was a lil younger though. Loved designing the house… with the cheat you could do and buy everything ehem… I guess it’s good there’s no kind of cheat like this in real life?! Anyways, keep up the good work, you’re quite a motivating and somehow inspiring (eventhough I don’t blog) person!x

Such a lovely post, Marianna! (:
In my opinion posts like this one make a blogger kind of ‘real’. … Does that sound weird? I don’t know. Basically what I’m trying to say is that it gives us readers a little sneak peak inside your world and also inside your heart, apart from the usual topics like fashion/beauty/travel etc. This post revealed more of your funny side, you should let it show more often! (:
Greetings from Germany and have a lovely evening,

Nice post! We both have so much in common. haha I really enjoy this kind of post, even knowing that sometimes it’s hard to write this personal king of things. But it’s actually really nice to know a little bit more of the people that I keep up with almost everyday. xx
Anna says
I loved this post – so different from other random facts. Peter Pan is my favourite Disney character, you should never grow up and i’ll see you in Neverland!! Funny, I also downloaded all the Sims again today, I used to play it for hours on end and it’s the best.
I love how real this post was, in all honesty your readers don’t know too much about your personal life (keep it that way!) so it was nice to take a peek into your mind.
Lots of love

Carian says
I’ve been reading and following your blog since 2011 and I still look forward to all your new posts. Your definitely in my top-3 of my favorite bloggers. I like the way you write, it’s not only about fashion but also what’s going on in your mind and daily life. Readers are able to find out who’s behind the blog, that makes it much more interesting. I firstly also was afraid of showing myself in my blog and I was constantly busy ‘what others would think of me’. Since I start getting a little amount of viewers on my blog and now and then I receive a positive comment, the blogging makes it much more fun and I dare to show myself more. I need to do what I love and shouldn’t care what other people would think of me. This is something I read in your posts a couple of times and it makes me stronger, thank you. Continue doing your job Marianna, you’re a great blogger! Hope to meet you one day. 🙂

I’ve been following your blog for awhile and always love when you post personal posts like these! You’re so similar to me -especially regarding the sims 🙂 lol you’re such an inspiration and a blogger that I will always follow!
Elisa says
I feel like you are my twins, or my best friend. I wanted to be in the design, when i discorved that you need to be good at Maths, and I hate that so.. now I want to be in the Fashion Journalism Industry. Sims used to be my obsesssion. I was born on the 13th February: 13 is the luckiest number in my mind. I am sigle -I wonder if I has ever been something different that being sigle whereas my friends are the kind of girls to be always ina relationship. I used to have so much blog, but now I stop, don’t know why..I became afraind I think to be judged.. I like gym and yoga, but nothing is better than hang out during the sumer with your friend, or alone, with a good strawberry frappucino at the beach, or in town, doing some shopping in Zara lol. So yes, I think you are like my twins, just prettier. Love from France.
Elisa says
Hi Marianna!
It’s been really nice to read all these random things about you coz I discovered we have so much in common, it was like if I was reading my own ideas hahaha.
I like your blog so much and I think that part of this is because you’re so natural and espontaneous as I am.
It’s always a pleasure reading you, hope you keep it like that!
Love from Spain.
