We talked about this last year and I thought it so interesting, I’m running it again this year 😀
There are so many pretty and effective beauty products we talk about and use, and I’m sure we all have our favourites. However, I’m curious to know what your favourite NON-beauty related item is for 2011?
It could very well be something you bought yourself, or was gifted with, or perhaps it could be a milestone purchase – care to share? 😀
You saw the picture and yes, my favourite non beauty item of 2011 is my Digital SLR camera! 😀
I had been balking at buying one for a while because I kept thinking it was too bulky, I wouldn’t get enough use out of it, I can make do with a point and shoot… loads of reasons why NOT to get it. But only one real reason to get it, and its simply because I have always secretly wanted one! 😀
Its also reignited my joy of taking photographs and I’ve been experimenting a lot. I don’t claim to be good at it, but I find a lot of joy in pressing on the shutter button and hearing that satisfying click of the lens shutter. Ahhh… 😀
How about you? What is your favourite NON- beauty item of 2011?

December 28, 2011 at 11:12 amThis year’s been pretty blah in terms of non-beauty items or gadgets for me 😛 My only new gadget is my iPhone 4 this April from my parents, as I’ll only be getting a new laptop next year haha! I don’t see the point in the 4S… so yeah. The other thing would be my Otterbox case from my boyfriend, for the iPhone. You have no idea how well that thing works and how many times it has saved my phone from the drops! *_*
Paris B says
December 28, 2011 at 12:00 pmI’d read about Otterbox cases and how perfect they are for keeping phones safe. I was eyeing one before for the Blackberry, but it looked terribly bulky, plus I couldn’t find one here to actually sample, so I didn’t opt for it. I think thats a good gift – the iPhone 4 glass can be very fragile 😛
Stephanie/Yukaeshi says
January 1, 2012 at 10:13 pmAh, my boyfriend is also using a Blackberry Bold 9780 and he got an Otterbox for it. It doesn’t look/feel bulky, really, but it does look pretty rugged IMO 😛 I’ll try to snap a photo for you! 🙂
