Living Alone in Finland | Weekend Life: Brunch Out, Home Tasks In

Today’s vlog is a fun little mix of everything I love! 🤍
I start the day with a lovely brunch date with a friend, then head home to do a mix of regular tasks and small projects. I water my houseplants and crochet a tiny beanie for my plant dog (yes… my ceramic dog that hangs on my plant 😄). After that, I dive into reorganizing my dry-food kitchen cabinets — very satisfying (at least in the end—there was a moment when my kitchen was an absolute wreck.

With Christmas coming up, I continue working on my Christmas puzzle before making a light dinner: traditional Finnish Rosolli with a creamy sauce— something simple since I’m still full from brunch (you have to get your money's worth right!). I wrap up the day with a quick surface clean in the kitchen before settling in for the night.

Thanks for spending the day with me! ✨
