Lush Christmas Collection 2013

Lush is my secret addiction and surprising not many people in Toronto actually know about it. 

I went to get a face mask only to be introduced to their new holiday winter collection and it was love at first sight.Plus I felt like spending some of my hard earned cash and treated myself and my sister to these lovelies below.

 This is the Rudolph fresh face mask and the Santa's lip scrub

The coolest part about this lip scrub which I didn't know (first lip scrub from Lush) it's all edible and it taste like cherry coke which little hearts, how bomb is that! 

Price - $8.95

Main Ingredients - cherries, dates, coconut oil 

And it's currently out of stock online!

                                  

The Rudolph face mask is very hydrating and there's a little cherry in the middle to symbolize Rudolph red nose. Isn't just adorable! This face mask is very hydrating which is exactly what I need for this Canadian winter. My face gets very dry.

Price - $6.95

Life - $ weeks

Limited edition

Uses - At least 10 or more

Main Ingredients - cucumber, lavender, oatmeal, aloe & fresh mint

Exams Start & Holiday Season in full swing

Just a quick update on things before I start posting all the fun holiday posts I have planned.

 I've been getting up at the crack of dawn recently due to the end of the semester and the start of exams. Ohh the joy, I've being seeing this every morning I wait at my bus stop, so why not see what I see at 7:00am.                                                                Thank god I'm nearly through with packed buses, rushing to classes and all the labs and papers. I have an exma later tonight at 7pm wish me good luck!!                                                                             Thanks for reading!!

Homemade Pretzels

Happy December!

It's been a very busy week and it's only going to get crazier as the terms ends and exams start. Also everything just gets a little bit more hectic with the holidays fast approaching.

On to the post!

So when those cold winter nights hit and you want something warm to eat thats not heavy and works great with tea, how about a pretzel.

My brother taught me how to make these from his cooking class and the best part you can make them just the way you like.

We made two types a garlic, herb butter pretzel and a sesame pretzel.

It takes about 10mins in the oven and the secret here is to brush some baking powder-water mixture on top to help them brown faster.

 Delicious and simple.

                        

First Day of Snow

I woke up this morning to a frigid temperature and outside snow covered the ground. I though finally snow, finally December and the holidays! I love the snow and was happy to See the ground and trees covered in white, too bad it melted by the afternoon. Do you like the snow? I also love the different colours and clothing that you can wear for the winter, like right now I'm soooo into different hats especially the knitted ones.
