OTANIEMI DAY

WWW.KKAJALAINEN.COM

Beautiful sunny evening in Finland, just how midsummer should be! Warm, welcoming, pure and fresh - green and full of life. Loved running off road next to the sea and did a little yoga session on a dock. Had a great view, good company and weather was just 100% bliss. 

Precious moments, it's good to be at home.

 Key to M O Ë T Party Day

Had a great day on saturday 11th of June celebrating and making of The M o ë t & Chandon Party Day @Mattolaituri and Ravintola Teatteri, Helsinki with Wonder Productions. For the first time in Moët & Chandons history the Party Day was celebrated all around the world with a series of Spontaneous Parties and Events. I was lucky to be part of it as making it happen in Helsinki, Finland. I and rest of the superb team of Wonder Productions had huge effort to make sure everything goes well and looks good, not to mention - most important that people would enjoy their day sipping new tastes of Moët & Chandon Champagne. 

Day was filled with champagne, big smiles and good vibes. People soaking in the sun, eating oysters, truffel popcorns, drinking champagne and enjoying good company. On that day was also launch for a new Moët & Chandon Champagne; N.I.R Nectar Imperial Rose, finally in Finland too! Great dry & fresh rose champagne enjoyed with ice or without it. You gotta try it, highly recommended.

We enjoyed also listening artists Ronya and Elias Gould singing.

Great day, even better night!

Thank You

Crazy Wild Child

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."

Happy summer days, laughing kids, green grass, hot sun. 

Running, crying, laughing - together.

Endless games and ideas, non-stop energy.

Oh. Wish I was a kid again.

To be honest - I will never grow up, make believe is too much fun.

I love being a model but I also love dearly photographing. These are just quick shots I took the other day while my nieces were at my parents and we all spent summer day outside playing and running crazy, doing handstands and looking for ants. These ain't sharpest and most focused pictures, either layout but thats why I love them! I like everything unusual and I think them pictures are just perfect examples of kids enjoying summer at grandparents and living life to the fullest.

Summer makes me shine bright, smile big, feel warm. Hot days, sun rays - oh babe - you give me energy. Sun kissed skin, bronzed, silky, smooth - I'm called Coffee Bean.

All people become friends. Social media filled up with beachbums, icecreams, booze. People go wild and love is in the air, everyone wants endless summer.

Busy cities, tourists welcomed. Music, food, culture, festivals - folks all together.

Hello Summer!

My home.

Came back to Finland around two weeks ago for about a month. I really love Finland and all the four seasons, but have to admit that rainy, dark, everything dead-autumn before winter is just terrible. What comes to winter, it's beautiful and very unique if it's proper winter with good snow and not too cold. Winter in Finland could be also a bit shorter because it's around six months of darkness, cold and very variable, sometimes unstable weathers. Wintertime is really tough for mind and body and for me it's mostly waiting for summer to finally arrive.

When I last time left from home it was awfully cold, snowy, wet and dark. When I got back to home, wow, it surprises me every time! Finland in summer is pure bliss and worth to see.

It's beautiful. It's pure. It's fresh. It's unique. It's an experience.

And I love it.

One of my favorite things in summer and being at home is fresh, homemade mint tea, sauna and warm summer nights. While birds singing, kids laughing, drinking tea and walking barefoot on the grass. Makes me feel stressfree and gives me amazingly good vibes.

What you like about Finland?

Asia was a blast! Just quick hop there and back, but we worked hard and got so many good photos! I flew to Krabi, straight flight with Finnair and from Krabi by boat to Koh Yao Yai. There I spent three nights in a small cozy wooden house. I liked Koh Yao Yai a lot! It's more quiet than other islands. It's very small, not many tourists, local life and very laid-back place. You can easily find private beaches just for you! There is cheap acommodations but also more fancier ones if needed.

Easiest and funniest way to explore the island is to rent a scooter and drive all day long. Gas can be bought from everywhere. They sell it in coke or other plastic bottles.

Eating in Koh Yao Yai is easy too, depends what you like - they have all you need. You can eat in a huge buffet which has all you ever can imagine or just grab a grilled chicken or fresh fruits from the street from locals. There is loads of different fruits and my favorite one is pineapple. They are also more than happy to cut it for you.

After three nights was time to move on. Took boat from Koh Yao Yai back to Krabi. And from there took a bus which took us other side of the Krabi. And from there we continued to Koh Samui by ferry. Was a bit windy day then and I was a bit afraid if I'm gonna be a seasick - but luckily all went well. At Koh Samui we took a taxi to the hotel, about 30min from the harbour.

We stayed in Mantra Samui hotel - very recommended! It's such an beautiful place, peaceful - real tranquility. Staff was super helpful and nice. We were treated very well. Top place!

Also in Koh Samui we rented a scooter - which really is the best option when travelling in Asia. It's super easy and fast way to go anywhere. Need to be careful though when driving, because traffic is a bit crazy sometimes, but people are used to scooters so they are quite aware of all the time. Most of the locals drive scooters and carry all kind of stuff with them. Common to see is also whole family driving on one scooter. For example two kids, mom, dad and sometimes a little baby too! Not many people wear helmets.

Koh Samui is much more busier and tourists are everywhere - you really can't find a private place at all. You have to drive somewhere really deep in jungle or waterfalls far away if want to find some more private place. The center is super busy and it's all for tourists. Beaches are crowded too. We found one private beach though. We asked from one local and it truly was a place where you wouldn't go for first.

Thailand offered us perfect weather every day. Lots of sun and sweat. It was suppose to rain for three days, but did't rain not even once!

Thailand is beautiful place, so much to see and explore. So many island, so many attractions - will definitely go back. Recommended.
