Ski Getaway

Last year for Reading Week, I went on a mini ski get away with some friends. I am not big into skiing but it was beautiful up on the mountain. There was also a lot of other fun activities to enjoy like outdoor skating and the spa. It was fun playing games and cozying up with hot chocolate in the cabin. It was a fun trip and a great getaway. Its too bad we couldn't work out a vacation somewhere warm this year!

Craving: Winter Edition

It has been snowing like crazy here these past few days and I am headed to the slopes! I am super excited to spend some time outside this winter. There are some of the cozy things I have been craving this winter. 

Blanket, Book and Candle - There is nothing like curling up under a blanket reading a great book under the soft glow of a great smelling candle. One of my favourite ways to spend a cold winter day. 

Socks - My feet are ALWAYS cold. I love a good pair of warm socks. A cute pattern doesn't hurt either. 

Sweater - This hand knit sweater from Canadian Designer Granted would be perfect for winter. It looks so warm and cuddly. 

Scarf - I rarely leave the house without a scarf. All year round. This hand knit one is super cool. Not only does the zipper accent look great it is also function. Unzip the to wear it like a normal scarf or zip it up to wear as a circle scarf. Genius! 

What are you craving this winter?

I'm Back!

Hey!
Okay so I have gotten a lot of my homework out of the way, and I am here to post! I was going to do the what's in my purse post, but I don't have a camera, but it is coming soon. It is snowing again, I just came in from shovelling the snow. I love the snow, I like it when you come in and your cheeks are all red and cold and you are slightly out of breath. Outdoor skating is one of my favourite winter time is ski and go outdoor skating, we are had a ski day today and I am going outdoor skating on Sunday. I am a horrible skier but the bunny hill was fun and the smaller hills and the chair lift and the lodge. I fell a few times though, and knocked some people over. So this past weekend was the Canadian Figure Skating Nationals. I love all the costumes!

I would like to thank those of you who have kept with me, I tend to get a little obsessive about skating.

I was very sad to hear that Heath Ledger died, yesterday. I loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You. Today on the way to the ski hills we watched 2 of his movies. He will be missed.


Anyways that is all for me for now. I hoped that you enjoyed my post.
More Later,
