snowy day

 

We had a snowstorm today... officially the first one this year... some parts (not mine's) had 60cm of snow O___o

Christmas sweets

 

Same old Christmas chocolate and sweets

The weird things you notice when you are waiting at a hospital and bored...

The Coca Cola truck

Today I Learned: Pickles and Christmas

What is the significance of pickles and Christmas???

Today I learned the significance of pickles and Christmas

It is a quirky American tradition where a pickle ornament is hidden on the Christmas tree, and the first person to find it receives a reward or good luck for the coming year.

Who knew? :)

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream

 

I randomly picked up this Champagne Apple and Honey hand cream, and it became one of my favourites... it moisturizes very well, and it smells so good <3

I also want to share that I used to be allergic to Bath and Body Works hand creams, but they changed the formula, and I can use them now!... Just giving a PSA in case anyone had the same issue as I did :)

my favourite toner pads

 

This is officially one of my favourite toner pads! <3

The highlights are: cleanses skin very thoroughly, repairs broken skin and fixes skin barrier!

I woke up at sunrise today! :D

Tetley's Apple Cinnamon and Tumeric Tea

 

This was quite good <3... so warming and tasted good :) It is a very light herbal tea :)

Coca Cola's Holiday Drink

 

This year's Coca-Cola holiday drink is a creamy vanilla Coke... it is good <3 (I'm so glad they made a zero sugar edition too!)

Snoopy stuffies

 

Christmas Snoopys! So cute!!

Christmas tree

 

I didn't have time to set up my Christmas tree this year, so every time I see one outside, I get excited <3

trying out my first Pond's product

 

Pond's has finally gotten into the gel moisturizing game!

Will update you on my thoughts! :)

It moisturizes but it has given my skin weird bumps :(

no aurora but a beautiful clear sky

 

I was disappointed I missed Aurora this time... but at least the sky is pretty with all the stars twinkling <3

out my window

 

I woke up to such a beautiful view today <3 <3 <3

Twinings teas

 

I got the "premium" version of Twinings teas and they are so good <3 <3 <3

Listerine strips

 

I've always known them as Listerine breath strips, but they renamed them to Freshburst. I thought they were discontinued... but glad they are back! These are lifesavers!! :)

I think they are less intense than the old version but just as effective :)

lone fallen leaf

 

I found this fallen leaf on the floor... it is beautiful in its own special way :)

Although I wish that the floor were less spotted and patterned.

yellow and blue sunset

I caught a beautiful sunset <3

tiny Christmas trees

 

These tiny Christmas trees are so cute :)

seasonal Jagabee

One reason why Japanese snacks are fun is that they always come in seasonal flavours <3

 

week of the beaver moon

 

Up until this year, I had never heard of the Beaver Moon... (I forgot to upload these pictures when I should... but these pictures were taken on the week of Nov 3rd).

The Beaver Moon is said to let beavers know when to start building their dams and prepare for winter

So this signals a transition from autumn/fall to winter
