Yesterday I remembered that once I shared my iHerb referral code on the internet and checked to see if anyone had gotten their $5 discount through it (and given me a small commission). I was happy to notice that I had $26 to spend on something from their site!
Since I've been feeling really tired lately and have had some skin problems I decided to get some B group vitamins. I'm trying both New Chapter Coenzyme B Food Complex (a brand I'm impressed by) and Garden of Life Raw B-Complex, and I'll tell you how I feel about them after I've had a chance to try them. Both are on the expensive end of vitamins, but I want to feel like I'm getting the best out there. If I notice no change in how I feel I might go back to a cheaper brand.
Since I've been wanting to buy an ecotools concealer brush I also got one, and a retractable kabuki. The prices at iHerb differ considerably from the price of buying the same thing in Finland.
I already got an email informing me that the order has been sent - great service! (For the record, my iHerb discount code is RIP254, use that if you are a first-time buyer to get $5 off.) I've really found iHerb a great company, I've ordered from them 4 times before and everything has gone smoothly.

A date and another new coat after an exam
Last week I spent thinking that I'd get ready for the exam of discrete structures on Friday, and not do much else. The result is that I didn't prepare that well, nor did I do much else. Maybe in the future I'll focus on doing a lot of other stuff before exams so that I just keep on track on the course as it's going on. Yesterday after the exam I did start to prepare for next week's "laskuharjoitus" i.e. the exercise group of discrete structures, but I still have a lot of work to do before I really understand the concepts and their applications. (It's about sets and relations this time.)
The exam itself went well, mostly because it was very easy. The teacher/professor (I'm not sure if he is one) could certainly have made it a lot more difficult had he wanted to.
I skipped a lecture on a course that I don't find that stimulating usually, and came home to do some cleaning. I ended up taking a nap since I was very tired - the thought of exams drains my energy. I did do a tiny bit of cleaning, but between putting on makeup and preparing mentally for a date it was very little.
The date went well: first we went to Halonen since they were holding a shopping evening for those with a "fashion card", and afterwards had dinner at an Indian restaurant called Indian Cuisine. This time I remembered to order "keskivahva", medium instead of mild, and I really noticed it in the taste. It was delicious but strong, and I took half of the dinner back home.
I bought a red shirt and a second class (not that I noticed anything wrong with it) coat. The coat cost only 30 euros. And my date got me a present, a small elf figure and a notebook.

A new winter jacket
I've been toying with the idea of making my own winter jacket (my old one is something like 6 years old) but a week ago I tried on a jacket on a whim in a local shop. Instantly I fell in love. However, they only carried size L and it was a bit too small for me. Promptly I searched the internet and found the jacket in XL, ordered it last Thursday evening and a week later it is here! It came from Sweden, and I had to pick it up from a local supermarket. The delivery was a reasonable 10€ so it's fine.
The jacket is the Elvine Jeanette in dark navy. Actually there are better pictures out there but since the rest of the shops didn't carry my size I don't feel like linking to any of them. The jacket is somewhat roomy in the shoulders and a good fit around the waist - the size is just fine, so the gamble of buying without trying it on paid off. I especially love the fact that the pockets are actually 2 in one: there is a pocket with a soft lining on the top that you can access from the sides (probably meant to warm your hands if you're not wearing gloves, or are freezing anyhow), and then the pocket with the flap and a snap closure for keeping stuff in.
