January 2011 Favorites

Can you believe it's already a month into the new year? I surely can't! Coming up this month is my birthday (yes, I'm a February baby). I can't believe I'm turning another year older. It's crazy! I kind of don't want to grow up so fast though. But anyway, back on topic, here are my favorites for the month of January:

1.) SNOW! Excuse the crappy cellphone picture; I took this a few weeks ago and thought it looked super pretty. The mounds mountains of snow are much higher now. I live in the Northeast so I get quite some snow every winter. My weeks have gone by so fast because of all the snow days I've gotten. I haven't had a full week of school since before Christmas break. It's crazy and I'm still not sick of the snow yet! I love snow; it's so beautiful.
2. Hot Chocolate: Hot Chocolate is a MUST during the winter time. Nothing beats snuggling up in blanket to a nice big cup of steaming hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. I bought this Hot Cocoa mix in particular because I had a coupon for it. Eight packs of hot cocoa mix for $1.39 -- that means 8 cups of hot chocolate for $0.17 each! I love saving money, haha. It is muy delicioso!

3. MAC Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch: I use this for an all-over wash of color. It brightens up the eyes so much. It applies super smooth and has a slight pinky-peach tint. I love this because it's a lazy throw-on type of color/eyeshadow; you don't need to think much about it.

4. Kokuyo Une Onde Coloree Mechanical Pencil: I've mentioned this before but I love stationary, Japanese stationary in particular. This pencil is just awesome. First, it's my favorite color: yellow. Second, the frosted parts together with the see-through parts just makes it look so nice and dare I say it, geek chic. Third, it has a twist-up eraser so it stops me from using the eraser down to a nub and thus prohibiting me from putting lead in. Don't you hate it when that happens?

5. Nivea A Kiss of Flavor Cherry Tinted Lip Care: I raved about it before but I'll say it again. It gives the prettiest red tint and a nice glossy shine. It adds a bit of moisture but not as much as their Kiss of Smoothness (love!). I can't wait to try their Kiss of Milk & Honey after I finished this and Smoothness.

Sorry for my boring favorites but this month has been kind of boring for me: midyears, snow, etc. Don't fret! Next post is my first EOTD in a while -- a Lunar New Year look! :)

@~Lisa: School got cancelled for me today too! That's why I'm blogging. :) And haha, that's why I bring extra (relatively crappier) pencils/pens to lend to people!

Just found your blog a day or two ago~ Love!
I have to disagree, I really, really don't like snow :P The only good thing about a lot of snow is that I don't have to go to school~ School was canceled today, and for tomorrow too. And yes, hot chocolate is def a must! I've made 2 cups of hot chocolate today..and counting xD

It looks so pretty! Doesn't it get all dirty/slushy like the snow in NYC? It's really disgusting here..We've had soo much snow. I'm pretty tired of it (maybe not so much if it didn't look so bad or wasn't such a pain to walk in lol). And whenever there were BIG storms we happened to have no school anyways..bummer!

I love stationary! But I haven't bought too many lately. I especially love Japanese/Korean pens :D
