Winter Favorites & Blog Makeover!

15 December 2014

Whoa! If this is your first time visiting since the last 24 hours, things probably look a bit different around here. As you can see, I got a new blog template which I absolute adore and my trusty best friend Katherine kindly installed everything for me to make it look all cutesey and what not since, well...I know just as much about computers as I do about how to run a marathon! What do you think? Do you like the new layout? Is it easy to navigate? Let me know in the comments!

Beauty vloggers and bloggers are always doing those "favorites" tags where in which they proceed to taunt you with a serious of adorable products that are mostly out of your price range. Well, to Calormen with drooling in envy at your computer screen! Here are some of my winter favorites that shall appeal to any bookworm.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I'm only a few chapters into this book, but I'm already engrossed. And yes, the story is just as enticing at its title. Complete with magicians, dark secrets and rivalry, it's like a mystery adventure all in one. It's been a while since I read something so innovative and imaginative; it's definitely a good wintertime read.

Electric Blankets. Yes, you heard me. If you're going to be laying in bed reading until the wee hours of the morn, you need to do it without freezing your hiney off! Seriously, do yourself a favor and invest. There are few sensations more satisfying than entering an already warm bed...ah, excuse me while I take a little nap.

Pictures. "But why?" you may ask. This is the most wonderful time of the year, people! And while I do believe in putting the camera down so that you can really absorb your surroundings, don't forget to capture these moments so you have something to look back upon and smile when the spring semester steals away your holiday smile. Here's a little snippet of my Christmas break thus far :)
We took second place in the gingerbread house competition. (You can check out more pictures by clicking on my Instagram link to the left.)

And last, but most certainly not least...baked.goods. I'm a desert fiend. I would happily squander all savory victuals and exchange them for a never ending buffet of cakes and pies. Additionally, when you're reading, you need something to munch on! I would recommend warm chocolate chip cookies, freshly baked bread, or even homemade hot chocolate!


And now my dear reader, you are prepared to take on winter! Go and apply these life saving aids to your Holiday routine and see if you are not all the more prepared to have a fun-filled season of festive cheer. I hope you enjoyed this fun little post, and look forward to more thought-provoking ones in the future...maybe. ;)
