H&F Belx tumbler

 

I can't believe I have had this glass tumbler for over 6 years! You can read the review I wrote 6 years ago here. It is over 6 years old but going strong! 

The glass actually is flawless, but I accidentally smudged some sunscreen on it before I took this picture... (oops).

They say quality is important, and 6 years ago, when I cringed over the hefty ¥2400 price tag, it is still available, but now it costs ¥3000, thanks to inflation. I'm so glad I bought it, it remains my favourite tumbler. 

Some features I like: easy to clean, no lingering odour, durable, small holes make it impossible for tea leaves and coffee grinds to fall out of the strainer, every nook and cranny can be taken apart and cleaned, and you can add fruits and herbs in the strainer!

AQI 159

 

This seems to be an annual thing now... our air quality has hit 7... it has been quite smoky the past few days. No more outdoor activities until this clears :(

Look at how hazy it is

Look at how the smoke engulfs the forest

We can't even see the CN Tower anymore... look at how the smoke hovers over the city

smoky afternoon

 

This wasn't a cloudy day. The smoke made it look cloudy and gloomy :(

morning of smoke

 

it is getting smoky today... those poor wildfire-affected trees :(

sleeping bunny

 

I got close to this bunny... but I think it was sleeping (when bunnies sleep out in the wild, they close their clear eyelids to make it seem like they are awake.

another view of the moon... I mean, sun

 

clouds covered the sun like the moon

I messed up when I wrote the title of this... this is actually the sun! Not the moon!
