Winter storm ready

So, many of us on the east coast are seeing snow pile up faster than we've seen in a couple of years. Almost like the time we were hit with snowmageddon and snowpocalypse. Here are few things that I am using, wearing or doing to keep myself sane and warm in this winter storm. Ha almost rhymes lol.

 

A must are my fleece snowflake jammies from Target last year :) A delicious cup of hot chocolate. Movies/TV shows either on Netflix or DVDs. A good book or books to read. Toradora Manga and Calvin and Hobbes It's a Magical World comic book. The laptop is a black Macbook 13". Sadly they don't sell MacBooks in black anymore but I can always find a cover on Amazon if I ever need one.  Candles burning in the background & Doggies playing in the snow or resting after playing in it. 

Stay safe and warm out there friends! It's snowzilla! 

What's in my bag?

I'm such a sucker for the "What's in my bag" videos or blogposts. Curiosity gets the best of me to know what we carry on our bags on a daily basis. So, I got this lovely, fits everything I need bag from Le Tote. I first got it in one my Tote boxes, returned it but then realized I missed that bag because it just fit my lifestyle. It's a BCBGeneration Tote bag with long shoulder straps and a rather spacious zip pocket inside. Great for days when I am too much of a hurry to put a pen or lady item in it's own small bag. 

I have my iPad and a Star Trek cover my awesome mama made for me with the names of our dogs  and favorite movies sewn on. The composition notebook is my planner, Ray Ban sunnies, Sweet Pea travel cream, Tokidoki zip bag, Totoro zip bag, Toradora manga book 1, handkerchief from my lovely grandma, a lollipop and a mint chocolate bar. 

Planner looksie and the collection of Paper Mate pens that I use to keep it colorful and organized. :) 

Tokidoki bag contains the YesTo facial wipes for those days when I need to freshen up, a glasses lens wipe, Burts Bees lip balm (great stuff!), Avon lip gloss, Nars lip pencil, Olive oil hand cream, and sweet pea hand sanitizer. The cough drops are a must in my bag whether I have a cold or not because laryngitis sometimes sneaks up on me and its adios voice for the day or week. A girl doesn't leave the house without her clippies or hair ties, it's a must in every handbag. The small bags I got a while ago and I'm not sure they have them in stock anymore. If I find them I'll be sure to link them here. Till next time! :)

Candles galore!

So, I might have a slight obsession with candles. Hehehe. I buy these candles every year from Bath and Body Works. I hope they don't retire any of them ever. 

Marshmallow Fireside~Fresh Balsam~Sweater Weather~Flannel

~Marshmallow Fireside has smells a little sweet but the woodsy smell tones it down some. I like to light this at night to give my room a sweetish aroma.

~Fresh Balsam is Christmas in a candle! It smells like a freshly cut Christmas tree with some eucalyptus. 

~Sweater Weather also has some eucalyptus but this blend adds some sage and juniper berry. This candle just asks you to get in your cozy PJ's and drink some warm hot chocolate while watching a movie.

~Flannel has a stronger aroma because of the mahogany, musk and bergamot (I don't know what that is but it smells good) This candle is rather fall-y but I like it even in the winter.

November's been a roller coaster kind of month in every possible way. A cup of coffee helps most of the time but when I didn't have it close by or when I reached the bottom of the cup, I looked for these items.
