I'm 27 years old girl from Kainuu, Finland. I live with my boyfriend. I'm Pharmacist and work at the local Pharmacy and love my job! I like science esp. pharmacy and medicine as they are useful for my work, too ;) I have degree in Laboratory Sciences as well.

Besides English I can svenska, Deutsch y un poco de español so it would be great if you'd used those languages if you can ;) It would be good practise.

I exercise several times a week depending on how much I have to work. So I'd say that's my number one hobby. I like zumba, swimming, gym, walking and Les Mills classes (BodyPump, Combat and Balance). I'm trying to make my life healthier but I love food too much. Anyway, I've managed to loose weight so it's going okay.

I write letters to my penpals - I'm addicted to snail mail ;) I'm also looking for few more penpals who are long time friends. I also really love this swapping. I hardly ever look beforehand who's going to send swap to me so it'll be surprise :)

I love cosmetics. I like to try new products and I have plenty of bottles in my bathroom ;) I love love nail polish and nail art (stickers, glitter, Konad...) and decorate my nails almost daily. So maybe this and swapping share the hobby number two? Usually when watching tv shows I paint my nails ;) I get a lot of compliments from customers and people at work :) Take a look at my blog if you like these as well!

IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE MY SWAP, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Please, notice that when sending overseas it may take weeks my package to arrive so be patient :) I always send out my swaps and let you know if there's a delay. If package is heavy, I send it in Economy rather than Priority so that might take even a month to travel. Thank you.

I reuse packing materials as much as I can, I hope you don't mind. So it's okay to mail me in used envies and such.

I'm up to private swaps, just ask. For example I'd like to swap tea, candy, stickers, cosmetics or cosmetic samples. Thanks :)

I'm not too picky so you don't have to stress about swapping with me :) I also like handmade items if you like to make something yourself. Surprises are fun, too.

I don't have allergies. All candy is welcome, my boyfriend will eat if I don't like :D I really love Stroopwaffels and Peanut Butter Cups. I'm on a diet but if you send me candy, it's okay. I'll eat it maybe a bit each day. It won't ruin anything since I never buy candy for me and because of that I won't get too much candy. I'm always curious to try new candy, chocolate, cookies and so on :) I also love potato chips.

Instant coffees and teas of all flavours are welcome. I personally don't like much lemon & chamomille tea or green tea. I like roobois and herbal teas as well as Celestional Seasoning ang Yogi teas as I can't find them here so often. Black teas are fine, too. If you can find ecological teas, that's even better.

You don't have to worry though! So I'm up to any tea, I'll pass it on if I don't like it. But I'm curios to try new teas all kind. Please, don't send tea bags that aren't packed. I usually don't swap loose tea so please don't send it unless it's okay to swap rules or the package is un-opened and new.

My favourite colors are pink and turqouise. Other nice ones red, purple and green. Actually, I don't dislike any colors - almost all are fine somewhere :) I usually dress in black or grey but love to have colors in accessories. I love to wear dresses/tunics and leggings as long as it's comfortable :)

I love plastic jewerly. I collect long, colorful plastic pearl necklaces. I always wear earrings some kind. I love big, oversized rings.

I'm interested in fashion and beauty magazines. I understand only English enough to read them. But I also like make up and nail art tutorials in other languages if pictures are good enough.

I'm a cosmetics addict. I know it's not cheap to send them but just in case some of my favourite brands Tigi, NYX, Too Faced, Eyeko, L.A. Colors, O.P.I, Sinful Colors, Konad, Nubar, Cover Girl, Skin Food... I'm into Asian and all ecological brands. I'd love to have samples if you happen to have. Nothing used, please.

I wear make-up every day and as I mentioned, nail art is my hobby. I'm curious to try new colors in make up (eye shadows) and have use for all kind of nail polish and nail art stuff (also hand cream). I'm not afraid to use bold colors! As for lip glosses I prefer tinted lip palm or other moisturising products.

I'm not allergic to cosmetics though I don't use just anything... My favourite smells are coconut, vanilla and cherry.

• CUTE CHARACTERS: Sanrio and other cute kawaii brands (Kogepan and Hello Kitty are my favorites), My Little Ponies (new stickers and stationery and the ponies from the 80s as I collect them), Blythe, and almost anything that's cute like cute skulls, bows, cupcakes, food with eyes and so on :)

I love all cute characters e.g. on makeup bag, accessories, stickers and so on. I'm really a girlie-girl.

• KAWAII: All kawaii products are great!

• DELICIUOS FOOD: Candy, chocolate, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, everything goes! I'm curios to try new flavours.

• PAPER PRODUCTS: Stationery and envelopes for letter writing. I like many kind of so I'm not going to list my likes here but kawaii and other cute ones are the best. I also like deco tapes and stickers (not so much stickers with words or reward stickers and Easter/Christmas stickers though.) Also all kind of papers for paper crafts are welcome.

• ACCESSORIES: ear rings, bracelet, necklace, badges, socks (European size 38), hair products, scarfs, cute bags and so on... I prefer colorful (plastic) jewellery but as I'm not allergic metal ones with out gold/silver are ok (though I prefer non-nickel ones)

• RANDOM LIKES: Eurovision Song Contest, fashion and science magazines, medicine and pharmacy, gel pens, all stuff related to laboratories, princesses, hand made stuff :)

• I'm not an animal lover. So, if possible, please don't send me pictures of real animals. Stickers are fine. And all drawn pictures because they're cute ;)

• I don't like Diddl writing paper as I think it's difficult to write in those. So, please don't send me much Diddl sheets size A5 (few are okay, I can give them to someone...).

• I have enough book marks so if possible, no more them unless you've something really special ;) I also don't have much use for new key chains or magnets. Well, I think we have too much stuff around the house so I'm not into stuff that doesn't have a purpose...But if they really relate to my intrests it's definitely okay :)

• OTHER DISLIKES: stationery sheets with no pictures in it, cars or motorbikes, flower patterns, cooking, neon color pens, pencils

At the moment I'm not doing much crafts. I'm not having time or inspiration and I'm a bit frustrated on all the stuff I've already.

So all I've use for are nice gel pens or other and stickers and lettersheets.

I don't watch tv so much and the shows I watch I usually tivo as I hate commercial breaks! I like to watch several foreign tv shows via Internet as I can't wait them to air here. Usually when I find a nice show to watch I watch several episodes at once alone or with my boyfriend. I really like that! :)

I really like documents about science, and well, any intresting subject. I watch some reality shows, too. My favourites are Project Runway and America's Next Top Model as well as their Finnish versions.

Some shows I've liked now and then: Los Serrano, Desperate Housewives, Glee, Top Gear, Rescue Me, The Big Bang Theory, True Blood, ER, Cold Feet, Being Human, Nurse Jackie

I love to read books and I try to have time to read every day before I go to sleep. I like many kind of books, maybe only things I don't like in books are historical (like when it goes waaaay back) and dragons and that kind of fantasy :D But still I like Harry Potter and True Blood as books (actually I recently got all True Blood books and now I'm in love with Eric ;) ). I read mostly in my native language but in English sometimes as well.

It's hard to say what kind of books are the best. Sometimes I just need some easy chick lit (like Marian Keyes and Cecelia Ahern), sometimes I want to read real life stories (like Torey Hayden). Ok, to mention few other than Sookie Stackhouse novels I looove The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and Time Traveller's Wife by Andrey Niffernegger.
