Baking My Way to a New Adventure

Naturally, when you have a nail art and beauty blog, you would try out new make-up, nail polish or new fashion trend, right?  Well, I kind-off take "trying something new" as the artsy-and-adventure rather than the beauty-and-fashion side.  This is tea related, afterall... And any food that goes with tea, for that matter {which is practically anything, right?} That's my excuse for deviating from nails and beauty hauls into my new adventure - Baking and Cake Decorating ;-)

As The Autumn Days Begin {2014}

What a lovely day indeed.  Though the wind blows hard and unsteady, the sun shines so brightly making an otherwise cold day into a nice, comfortable, beautiful day.

Two days ago was the first day of Autumn this year.  The day was announced by bleak winds and lightly overcast skies that necessitated digging out thick clothing from storage.  "It cannot be put off much longer,"  I told myself as I hesitantly put on a light winter jacket.  Then followed by a weak smile of disapproval: "Oh that just looks silly..." Hence comes a light fall jacket instead.  Regrets came afterwards when it fell short of keeping these little bones of mine warm.  So today I made sure I had the winters on - So glad to be wrong and the day turned out to be so lovely.

KONAD Stamping Nail Art | Haul

The days of summer were short and busy.  How did your summer go?
I must say, it was a very adventurous 'few weeks' indeed.  This last few weeks especially were full of many different activities.  And I am glad. I had my fill of wanderlust and great time with friends from near and far that now I look forward to quiet and slow days.  I would be lying if I say I am looking forward to winter.  My ever warm-blood could not stand the cold! But I could finally say: "I am ready for it!"  By that I mean, I have collected not just memories - I also collected lots of new polish bottles and nail art toys waiting for me to try. (That and some baking tools, learning and teaching a new language... arts and crafts...  Add that to a new job and my volunteer work = I am going to be really busy!  No time to mope and complain about the cold - or so I would hope.)

Take this lovely stamping nail art kit for example.  I am super excited to try it!
