cozy winter night

It snowed for the first time this year while I was at my parents' place on Monday!  How exciting!  I ran around the house and made Buddy the Elf look like an amateur.  Winter is here in Canada and it's absolutely freezing, which is great if you're spending your night inside having festive drinks.
I love this year's big Starbucks mug! Little mugs are for elves.


You can hardly see the snow but it was there, I promise!

During my down time lately I've been lighting my new winter scented candles like Bath and Body Works' Winter Night which smells like a smokier, nighttime version of their super popular Fresh Balsam candle.  I've also started doing more festive nails and I finally got around to trying Essie's Toggle to the Top.  This one's an interesting polish, it doesn't feel smooth on the nail because of all the sparkle in it but it's opaque and I love it!

I found a box of Starbucks Peppermint Hot Cocoa in my grocery store and actually jumped for joy.  Chocolate and peppermint are my two favorite things and this stuff tastes amazing, especially with mini marshmallows.  A lot of brands have also come out with their festive teas and I've been loving Stash Tea's Christmas Morning.  It's nothing crazy, just a black tea mixed with a green tea but it's really comforting and nice at any time of day.

    1. That was taken at my parents' house and they live on top of a mountain surrounded by woods. It's very beautiful, especially on the Westcoast here, on the East Coast it's all snow in the winter :) You should come!!
