 It has been an eternity since my last post, but gosh I feel like I lived five lifetimes!

There is a blogger I adore who does an update at the least once at the end of each month, which has been very inspirational to me and I wanted to start doing something similar. It feels like such a nice thing to look forward to and I liked the idea of having an opportunity to at least summarize how the month went for me for one of my favorite hobbies and passions, even if I wasn't able to write as much as I liked previously~

January 2023 started off quite busy, after wrapping up holiday parties and visits we actually had quite a number of new years celebrations as well, unexpectedly! I want to keep this blog mostly fashion lifestyle specific so I won't be going into a lot of details here in regards to off topic things, but the year started out rather crazy with our bunny getting really sick and needing to go to the pet hospital.  They took great care of him though and he is all better now thankfully but it gave me such a scare. Since we found him abandoned his health history is rather unknown and my poor little guy has been through so much. I'm just so relieved he is finally feeling better and back to his happy snuggly self~!

The most notable good part of January was one of my dear friends was finally able to visit from California!!  It had been many years since I last saw her and while it was a shorter visit this time it was still so incredibly fun. One day was spent being comfy at home having lots of tea, sandwiches (although I messed one up because of having to use a new kind of french mustard which was full of horseradish unbeknownst to me, noo!) and desserts while catching up which was so nice and cozy~

We also both had a bunch of things for each other from combining shopping shipments over the last two years!! So we had a super fun unboxing party where we could finally give each other the purchases we had been holding on to which was so exciting. Even though it was a long wait it was so very worth it and such a great time opening things together!! One of the items she managed to get on my behalf from closetchild was the absolutely beautiful Kumya's Snowy Kingdom JSK which was on my wishlist for quite some time... it is all thanks to her I could finally add it to my wardrobe, I am eternally grateful!! We exchanged gifts in person too and booted up our sanrio m!x tamagotchis together, it was such a fun day!

One thing I did not realize about the snowy kingdom listing is... it was new with tags??

What a wonderful surprise!! I could not believe it and still feel shocked!

I really cannot get over this print, it is just too darling!

Our next hangout involved a day of adventures! And the best part is she, her friend I met for the first time, and I all got to wear lolita together!!  It was so much fun! Her friend's partner and mine also came along so it was a bundle of fun. I am so terrible about remembering to take photos when running around with friends ahh, but we were an assortment of various tartan colors and vintage prints, we all looked so cute! For the day we went to my favorite plant nursery which also serves brunch, then went to a park that surrounds a big lake and also has one of my favorite chocolatiers nearby (also my favorite place for mocha lattes), and we finished the day with some soul warming ramen! By the end of the day my face was sore from laughing so much, it was such a wonderful time~!!

A couple of weeks later I finally put together a coordinate for Snowy Kingdom for tea with another dear friend which was everything I hoped and more!! The woven sparkles in the snowfakes make me so happy and I kept finding myself getting lost looking at the print, all the little Kumya's having their snowy adventures are just too cute. For the holidays I was also able to finally get a Kumya's Fluffy Kumya Ears Head Bow which I had been dreaming about for ages and it is hands down the most comfortable accessory I have ever worn! I want to wear it always now haha!

Other than that, this month was just filled with the usual plethora of appointments but having such fun times was a really nice way to start the year~ Especially ones that involved one of my favorite hobbies with friends!

~Happy 2023~
