First of all, I’d like to share that – woot! It’s finally sunny here! When I’m lounging around on the weekend, I don’t usually get too fussy with my outfits and I throw on a casual top and pants. Then if I need to run out and grab something, I just put on some shoes and I’m ready to go!

Christmas yesterday was very chill and enjoyable. My brothers woke me up (as usual), we opened presents, lounged about, stuffed our faces, and watched movies. I think I was successful with my gifts this year. I gave my mom and dad a photo calendar with pictures of our family in the various months, I gave my sister a beginner knitter’s “survival kit” because she has just taken up knitting (which I’m really excited about!) and I gave my brothers one of those videocameras like the Flip. They all seemed to really like their presents, which made me happy. :) I want to hear all about your Christmas! How did you spend the day?
Also, update on the Forever 21 nail polish that I mentioned a couple posts ago. I’ve had it on my nails since Wednesday and it has barely chipped (this is without even doing any touch-ups with a top coat). There are only little tiny chips at the top of the nail, which you don’t even really notice unless you are looking for them, and one tiny chip on my index finger. So far, it is holding up really well, much better than the $1 nail polish that I’m used to!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
