lovely snow

It snowed yesterday, and I knitted and baked and watched Love, Actually. It was just perfect.

The video features a brief cameo appearance from Winston and Bear.

I really need to get back to sewing and other creative pursuits so I stop boring you with these photos, but here I am again, with another iPhone picture edited in another new app. I just downloaded the Photoshop Mobile app, which is pretty nifty, especially since it’s free! I applied the sketch filter here, even though as I was doing it I thought, “what’s the point of this, it seems cheesey.” Surprisingly, I like the effect. I will probably post a more indepth review at appmodo tonight.

Today’s iPhone photo. Taken while going through the Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru. Sometimes you just need a big, icy, diet coke. This also goes to show that you can find little pockets of beauty anywhere, if you look for it.

There hasn’t been any Winston here for awhile, so I thought I’d just add this picture from last weekend when he insisted on coming along while I ran errands. He makes me laugh the way he sits in the front seat and is such a good little passenger.

Kiehls

I was a lucky winner last week! Lara of Piewacket, with a little help from Kiehl's had a giveaway earlier this summer, and I won quite the box full of treats. I've loved all the Kiehl's products I've ever tried, but they are a bit of a splurge. I regularly use their Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub, which, when used as a mask, makes your face so soft and smooth, just like a baby's bottom. I've hoarded a tube of it for longer than I care to admit. Thanks so much Lara! I feel so spoiled with all these great products. I think I will be using the tinted moisturizer as my daily foundation from now on, and I thought I was happy with my L'Oreal mascara, but this stuff is so great. And two lip balms! They make the best lip products. Lucky lucky me!
If you've never been to Lara's blog, I suggest a visit. She's a professional photographer and amatuer billiards player. I am always inspired by her photos, and she shares some really lovely vintage finds and delicious foods.
