Women's day is also Endometriosis Day!

Today is International Women's Day but also Endometriosis Day and I wanted to tell you a little about this cronical disease because it not well know and it has been estimated that it occurs in roughly 5% to 10% of women. I have it myself and I have had one surgery because of it, before I got my first child. The symptoms are for example (menstrual) pain and infertility.

There are different stages from mild to severe. "The amount of pain a woman feels is not necessarily related to the extent or stage (1 through 4) of endometriosis. Some women will have little or no pain despite having extensive endometriosis affecting large areas or having endometriosis with scarring. On the other hand, women may have severe pain even though they have only a few small areas of endometriosis. However, pain does typically worsen with severity." from Wikipedia.

Happy women's day!


Tänään on Kansainvälinen Naistenpäivä mutta samalla Endometrioosipäivä. Halusin kertoa hiukan asiasta sillä kyseessä on sen yleisyydestä huolimatta erittäin huonosti tunnettu sairaus. Itselläni on endometrioosi ja sitä on leikattu ennen ensimmäistä lastani.

Endometrioosia eli kohdun limakalvon pesäkesirottumatautia sairastaa arviolta joka viides suomalainen nainen. Hyvin monelle sairaus aiheuttaa kovaa kipua, erilaisia kudosvaurioita sekä lapsettomuutta. Sairaus on krooninen, joten oireita voidaan vain osittain lievittää kirurgisesti ja/tai lääkehoidolla. Tutkimuksen mukaan diagnoosin saamisessa voi mennä jopa kahdeksan vuotta.

Lisätietoa löytyy Endometrioosiyhdistyksen sivuilta, josta sain nämäkin tiedot.

Hyvää Naistenpäivää kaikille lukijoilleni!

Silk Naturals mini-review, lip gloss swatches & EOTD with Charmed

I've been a customer of Silk Naturals nearly two years and the cs has always been excellent. The owner of the company is Karen and she always nice & helpful. My favorites from this company are lip glosses! Silk Naturals has both sheer and more opaque ones, my favorites are very natural ones like: Olen ollut Silk Naturals in asiakas jo lähes 2 vuotta ja asiakaspalvelu firmassa pelaa erittäin hyvin. Firman omistaa Karen, jonka mies on muuten suomalainen ;) Karen on aina vastaillut nopeasti kyselyihini. Omat suosikkini firmalta ovat huulikiillot. Näitä löytyy sekä läpikuultavia että peittävämpiä, suosikkini ovat luonnolliset sävyt kuten: 1. Foreplay (shimmery golden pink) 2. Berry Crush (golden berry, MAC Viva glam V clone) 3. Divine. Oh, my favorite and I couldn't find it from SN website :-O Eek! 4. Darling (peachie pink) These glosses are in slim tubes, I'll try lip gloss wands asap ;) I also liked solid frangrances a lot (Raspberry gingerale & Sexy Vanilla) but may...

shopping in Germany: Alverde & Alterra

Ok, I was in Germany like... in April ;) Well, I bought a lot of Alverde products from DM, the quality is excellent and the prices are VERY affordable! Just a few words about the products and a question. I LOVE Alverde shampoos & conditioners. Most of these products haven't been eco certiified before but I noticed that the Avocado series is now Natrue certified :-O Unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be... Not terrible but not great either, definitely not the product I expected it to be. Yes I know, it's certified now ;) Do you know if Alverde is planning to reformulate all of the shampoos and conditioners? If so, my suitcase will be much lighter in the future. Alverde body butter is THE BEST :D I also like the body lotions. Cranberry hand cream smells SO good... This time I tested some Alterra products from Rossmann too, I must say that I also like these a lot! I tested shampoos, hair conditioner, body lotion, hand cream etc. Just the eye makeup remov...

Mineralissima mineral makeup review

I got some products from Minerallisima for review purpose and for a giveaway :D I have so much mineral makeup that I REALLY can't buy anything anymore so it was great to test a new brand! Mineralissima's website is pleasant to browse and everything seemed very professional. Prices are affordable and so is the shipping. You can also get customer service in Finnish in this company :D And in many other lanquages as well. LOL Tästä postauksesta olisi tullut erittäin sekava kahdella kielellä, joten tällä kertaa vain englanniksi. Hyvä uutinen on se, että Mineralissiman sivut ovat myös suomeksi (ja ei todellakaan google translatella käännetyt ;D). Myös asiakaspalvelua saa Suomeksi! Sivut ovat mukavat selailla ja tuotteet myös todella laadukkaan oloiset. Voin suositella ja tilaan myöhemmin täältä lisääkin testattavaa/ täysikokoisia tuotteita :) Mineralissima foundation 1.2 gives medium (to heavy) coverage on my skin. The color is light (peachy) neutral. I love this foundation...
