Have you ever body-lapsed?

Have you seen those videos and series of pictures where the bellies of pregnant women grow?

This phenomenon is not about just pregnant women but also other body changes like weight loss or body building. What can we call it? We figured out a new word that describes it perfectly: body-lapse

It is a combination of time lapse and body changing, which people do so they can save the memory of the progress, and later remember and show it to others as well. 

We realized this phenomenon does not yet have a name, and so we decided to come up with one. It has been one of the most popular trends on social networks lately.

What do you think about this trend? Have you ever bodylapsed? Feel free to show us your pictures!

Who are we?

Hello! This blog is ran by university students in Vaasa. Our group of eight consists of five Finnish students and three exchange students from different countries. All of us come from different parts of the world (or different cities of Finland) but one thing we have in common; we are students in Vaasa, and we are coping with the same environment in our own ways. Every one of us brings something different to this blog. Our group is called Mörököllit and below we will introduce every member of the group.

Hi, I'm a 21 year old second year English student. My interests are music, culture and crafts. I have two sides of me, I'm very social and I love a good party, but then again nothing's better than reading a book in a cozy spot.

Hi, just a quick presentation. I'm from France and you will follow my life as an exchange student in this new city, trying to face with snow, Vaasa's poor bus situation and so on to go to the university, to the gym or to parties :)
