Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas! This year is surely a year that reminds us not to take things for granted! If there is one thing we should never take for granted, it is Jesus!... He died on the cross for you and me :')

Let's celebrate the true meaning of Christmas this year and reflect on God's goodness <3

Kiehl's

 

This came in the mail :P... so excited to try these products out :D

Hummus

 

I took Hummus for granted my whole life, that was until I moved to Japan, and I realized how hard it is to find good hummus... 

this hummus was good :P

Maple Breakfast sausages

 

Who knew the Maple in Maple Breakfast sausages meant there is a strong maple (syrup) presence in these breakfast sausages? :P... I'm not complaining though... they were good :D

found a good combination: sunnyside up, sliced cheese on toasted honey oat toast :P

hello, stranger

sorry Miffy

 

I was curious as to how this innocent looking bunny will look like with eyebrows...

winter clouds

 

I was obsessed with these clouds

Cheese crisps

 I made some cheese crisps using some shredded cheese, a piece of parchment paper and a microwave :P

I didn't expect them to turn out quite decent :P (this method got rid of a lot of the excessive oil in the cheese :D)

(I'll post this over on my reviews blog too, it will be up on the 22nd)
