Happy Thanksgiving!
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Finland (obviously) but I got inspired by youtuber Karen Kavett to make a list of things I'm thankful for, in alphabetical order (watch her video
here). I wanted to originally do this as a video but I've been working a lot lately so I just didn't simply have time to get it filmed, edited and uploaded. And yes, this is supposed to be a photography blog but oh well :P
I'm thankful for airplanes for letting me travel to awesome places. I absolutely love going to the USA and I mean I don't want to spend a week on a boat so thanks planes.
I'm thankful for books because I love reading and how I can kind of escape reality for a while.
I'm thankful for cameras for letting me capture amazing moments and to film videos for my youtube channel.
I'm thankful for Disney because childhood. (does this even need anything else?)
I'm thankful for the English language for letting me communicate with people from all over the world.
I'm thankful for my
friends, the ones I have in Finland, the ones I made during my exchange year, the ones I met online... Just all of my friends.
I'm thankful for
glee. Even though you suck some times (most of the times these days), you're still my favorite tv-show.
I'm thankful for
hoodies for keeping me warm during cold weather.
I'm thankful for
ice breakers sours just because they taste so good. I need to stock up during my next USA trip in March.

Jonas Brothers for giving me the experience of my first real concert. I don't think I'll ever forget it.
I'm thankful for
kettles for boiling my tea water easily.
I'm thankful for my
little brother for not only being a brother to me but also a friend. We always have so much fun together.
I'm thankful for
Moomins for making my childhood and life just absolutely amazing.
I'm thankful for the
night time because that's when I get most inspired and I just love staying up late in general.
I'm thankful for
online stores for making my tiny shopping addiction a bit cheaper.
I'm thankful
for my
parents. The real ones and host parents in the USA. Couldn't ask for better ones.
I'm thankful
for
quiet moments. As an introvert and working as a cashier, I really appreciate getting some alone time after work.
I'm thankful
for
R5. Even though they're little shits and won't come to Finland, I love them so much.
I'm thankful for
Shaytards, my favorite youtubers. I'm so glad I found them when I was going through some hard times because they never fail bringing a smile on my face.
I'm thankful
for
twitter for letting me make new friends and connect with friends worldwide.
I'm thankful
for
Urban Decay. Especially their Naked palettes and eyeshadow primer. I'm such a makeup junkie and I don't know how I survived before I got them.
I'm thankful
for
vacations because I usually travel during them and I absolutely love traveling. Also, it's nice to get some rest sometimes.
I'm thankful for the
Warblers. I still can't believe I met 5 of them. They all inspire me in their own ways and I love following all of their own journeys of trying to make it big. They all deserve it so much.
I'm thankful for
xylitol gum because it's both good for your teeth and yummy.
I'm thankful for
youtube and youtubers. I don't even remember what I did before I got addicted to youtube.
I'm thankful for
Zac Efron and the whole High School Musical cast for making my teenager life amazing and making me want to start just randomly singing at random places. Haven't done that yet, don't worry.
So yeah, that's it. And no, I'm not doing the 3 other letters from Finnish alphabet (å, ä, ö) so don't even ask :P I hope you Americans have an amazing Thanksgiving <3 I kinda want some turkey and granberry sauce too...
