Apple – Chinese New Year – Daughter

https://youtu.be/R113khNc4_4

With its release back in January and less than 5,000 views, I’m surprised that this hasn’t garnered more attention. This year, more than ever, stories surrounding both Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year are significant. In the last week alone, I’ve become more educated on traditions and taboos around this holiday than ever before.

Scenes from Seattle

After spending most of last year traveling and staying in the Bay Area, I saved the last quarter of the year for Seattle. It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to get out of the city and into some colder weather. Holidays also mean less commitments. There are plenty of days to lounge around without an agenda. During this time, I used it for writing and catching up with friends and family. I also wanted to return back to my old neighborhood of Capitol Hill with Veronica to visit my favorite spots and see some new establishments.

Apple’s Option to Engrave Emojis on Your AirPods Cases

I am not yet the owner of AirPods, but with how often my friends are talking about them, that time isn’t far away. After a poll, it is easily the most favored Apple product of all. Apple has agreed to engrave emojis on your AirPods cases (that have been purchased) free of charge. For all new orders, you can choose any emoji to be engraved helping you to never lose these again hopefully! It’s a tough decision especially since there are so many great ones!

Old Apple vs New Apple

For someone who doesn’t even own AirPods, it’s surprising to even myself that this is the second time I’ve blogged about AirPod cases. Is it completely wrong that I want to own AirPods just so I can have a cute case? Honestly, does it even matter? This case is a playful way of paying homage to the OG Apple monitor and we love it. I love seeing a timeline of how far Apple products have come over the years and this merger between the two is awesome. If you’re looking to own these and keep your ‘Pods safe, you can buy the case [here] from elago. I don’t know how this fairs in comparison to other cases, but $13.99 doesn’t seem so bad!

SMOKO’s Adorable AirPod Cases

I’m likely the last person in my office without AirPods and I’m still continuing that streak of not caving. These adorable cases by [SMOKO] are about to change my mind though! I’m obsessed with all things cute and this is no exception. Not only are they just the food and drinks that I like, but they are the ones that I love. Those AirPods can be quite pesky and as I hear from my friends always getting lost. Why not keep them safe by purchasing one of these for $12 a pop? They would make great Christmas gifts wink wink, and if these don’t float your boat, you can always get a custom airpod case as a gift for your loved ones who are a huge fan of the airpod. I haven’t jumped on the airpod wagon yet, and although I’m close because of these cute little cases, I might just get them as a gift for a family member. Either that or put them on my shelf at home and stare at them. Do I really need to buy airpods to get these? I don’t think I would be weird for getting SMOKO airpod cases and just put them on my shelf. I don’t think anyone would blame me for wanting that.

Holiday Gift Guide 2018


 Chanel N°5 The Bath Soap – $26

Readers, what kind of Christmas shopper are you? Every year, I tell myself that I know how much easier it is to shop online, but can’t bring myself to do it. I have managed to order a few online exclusives and a few items that be personalized since I just found out you can upload photo on socks, but for the majority of my shopping, I still go to the mall. I hate the crowds at the mall, but yet I love it at the same time. There’s a certain kind of holiday cheer that you can get from the mall that you just can’t get from putting items into your cart from your couch. So this year, I did a mix of both and like every year, I know I’ll find myself at the mall one or two more times for that extra last minute Christmas shopping. 

Here are just a few items that I’ve caught on the interwebs that I think would make great gifts along with a couple of things that I might want for myself too!
