About me

The author behind this page..

is an stubborn and big-hearted woman.
Who believes that the world can be changed with the ant effect- one person at a time.

Hi!
I’m Agnes 🥰.

Describing myself in a brief is always difficult (for me). What to talk about and what not to talk about? Because I tend to talk A LOT 🤭. But I will try..

I’ve been doing things my way since I was little. When society goes left, I go right. When everyone goes to the right, I go to the left.
I follow my own path, and life has hardened me to be myself, regardless of what others think. I listen to my inner feeling and move according to it.

Since I was a little child, I have been fascinated and inspired by the power of ants. Ants can lift things 50 times heavier than themselves.
So I believe that if every person contributes a little to making the world a better place, whether it be through attitudes, beliefs, or actions, we can make planet Earth a better place.

I am a Manifesting Generator according to Human Design.
I’m an (January) Aquarius.
I was born and grew up in Estonia.
I have a sarcastic humor.
I love to explore second-hand stores and give things a new chance.
I love nature, spontaneous trips, discovering new places, reading books, making crafts and experimenting in the kitchen 😊.

I love to shop thoughtfully. This means that I like to think about what goes with what when I buy things, whether it is made of high-quality material, how it might wear out over time, etc.
At some point, I realized that the walls of my home are not made of rubber and I don’t need all the things in the world, but the germ of thoughtful shopping inside me became restless 😄.
And from there, thoughtful shopping expanded to my friends and loved ones, meaning I started buying things for them at their request, and this in turn eventually expanded into work. So I am a personal shopper 😊.

Agnes TED talks blog

I live life through my heart and with great passion, it inevitably shines through and infects others.
Ever since I was a small child, I was told that I can’t be like that, because it’s “too much” and I’m a nuisance to others.
You know what? Each flower has its own environment. If you take a tropical flower to a cold climate, of course it won’t grow nor suit for the environment!
So let go of everything that limits and choose to live in the right growth environment for you.
I walk, I fall, I run, I stop, I rest, I move on.
Life is for experiencing, life is for living!
I have no roots, I am a bird. I collect knowledge, life experiences and memories. I choose to enjoy life passionately and wholeheartedly. By fire.
And I like to infect other people with this passion to live more courageously 💃.

“Life happens for you, not to you.”

“Just be you. Every day.
Imperfectly perfect.”

Shopping with Agnes

I like to browse second-hand stores, as well as unique stores (that offer completely new products).
I also browse online stores – who offers products sewn by themselves, who sells underwear made of healthier materials for the body, who offers beautiful linen clothes, who makes cool home decor items by hand, such as clay bowls etc.

There are also posts in this section about my own purchases and also unsuccessful purchases.
I try to make smarter purchases these days, i.e. from high-quality materials and not so emotional purchases, but hey! I’m also just a person who is learning 😁.

In Estonia we have an expression “Inimene õpib kogu elu, sureb ikka lollina” in english
“A person learns all their life, dies as a fool”.
I believe that this sentence is quite appropriate for me, as well as for all of us, hehe.
Because we are constantly evolving. What is reasonable today may not be so in two months, etc.
Therefore, better and wiser choices, if it is possible. But at the same time, it is not worth going crazy and going to extremes.

Agnes in the kitchen

In the “Agnes in the kitchen” blog, you’ll find me busy in the kitchen.
Since I like to cook like Italian grandmothers, who don’t measure quantities but cook by heart and feeling, it’s sometimes difficult for me to pass on recipes.
But I try to do it anyway.
Or you can just get ideas that you can try at home on your own 😊.

Agnes in the world

In the “Agnes in the world” blog, you can find my adventures both in Estonia and around the world.

NB! I do not offer services like therapy, psychology, or expert advice

So please do not write to me about your personal concerns in my inbox.
I understand that I give the impression that I have plenty of answers.
But I have consciously chosen only to inspire people, not to do 1:1 therapeutic sessions.

So if you write to me in my inbox or contact me in any other way and want help with your concerns, I will politely refuse.

I value both your and mine time and energy, and I believe that there are certainly different techniques and specialists in their field who can help you.
But I’m only here to inspire you.

However, I am open to ideas for posts.
If you would like me to talk about a topic that is of concern to you or is simply close to your heart and you would like to hear other people’s thoughts on it, then leave a comment under one of the posts or write through the “Contact” window (the contact form at the end of the “About me” homepage).

I do not promise that I will definitely make a post on the topic you want, but if I have some thoughts, ideas on the topic and I feel good about talking about it, then I will make a post on the topic you want.
