Getting ready for Christmas!

This is going to be a long post with lots of pictures because I haven't posted anything since...*ahem* october :-O I really want to blog more.  I'm going to try to sum up what have been happening since autumn in this post...

Bought new jacket for winter. I need a warm jacket since I get easily cold but they are very expensive the really warm ones>.< However, I think it's good to invest in a good jacket, better to keep the body warm instead of freezing and ending up with a flu. I bought the Parajumper since it's warm, between the knees and I like the colour.

Finally I can take the Hobonichi techo 2015 in use because it starts with this year's december month^^ I want to decorate the diary and make it pretty with washitapes, drawings and stickers!

Afternoon tea and chocolate cookies^^

Have wanted to try Origins Drink Up lip balm a long time but couldn't decide which colour to choose. So happy that they have this Christmas set with four colours! They are moisturising and not so strong in colour. 

Couldn't resist to buy these cute ''house'' shaped hand creams from Etude House! The details is nice. They are moisturising, smells nice and small enough to make them easy to take with you^^

Haha, one of the thing I love with christmas is the varioous gift-sets because it's usually cheaper to buy a set with more products for the same price as when you buy a regular item. I, especially go hoarding for perfume sets every christmas because they always come with a free lotion or shower gelxD Me being a big fan of The Body Shop's products, I had to get one of their christmas sets for myself, hehe.

Love the packaging. Going to reuse it for storing.

Went for the Shea butter set because I like the neutral scent and I have been eyeing for the Shea scrub. The soap and shower cream is nice too^^

Say hello to my ever loyal pig phone minispeaker!

Bow-bookmark for my Hobonichi.

Warm and cosy slippers is a must for winter!

I will try to update the blog more. 

Wish you good luck with the christmas preparations and gift shopping^.^

A Happy Birthday!

A ""late"post about my eventful birthday which was some days ago. It is definitely a memorable and nice birthday because I got my driving license on that day!

Actually, I was going to take the driving test on 11th.feb, but my teacher decided to change the date to 20th because I needed to practice more>.< I was surprised when my teacher gave me the date, because it was on my birthday. I suspected that he planned it, but he said he didn't knew it was my birthday xD Hm..suspicious, but he haven't admitted to it.

I was very nervous when I had to take the practical test on my bday. I was unsure about passing, because I have slow reaction and not very confident. I also felt pressured because it was on my birthday and all my friends knew that I was having the test on that day. If I didn't pass the test, I would be very embarrassed and sad. I would remember for the rest of my life that I screwed up the driving exam on my birthday, surely it would be the worst birthday ever!

The test lasted for approximately 50 min, but it felt like forever...I just wished for it to pass quickly. So difficult to concentrate on speed, roadsigns and mirrors when you are stressed. Fortunately, the exam teacher seemed very kind, which made it more comfortable. I was so happy when he said that I passed and that my driving skills wasn't that bad^^

So the first thing after passing, I drove with mum and sis to shopping centre to celebrate and buy birthday presents....hehe...

This is what I got for presents:

A watch, D&G 3 L'imperatrice perfume (nice, fresh scent, was on my perfume-wish list for a long time), and Dior Lip Glow balm. 

Very nice and cute looking balm. Really love it. Going to review it later. 

I also got a hair straightener and curler^^ Love all the presents.

Write it down

Catching up with writing in my everyday events diary. Almost forgot how enjoyable it is to write down special moments for later, when I'm old with a bad memory I can then read back and maybe remember as like it just happened yesterday. I think it's fun to read about those special moments. Sometimes it's too much to remember, but by writing it down it's like sorting them out neatly on a paper instead of saving them into a big mess in the brain:P I just have to be more consistent with writing diary...
