Your Say: What’s your favourite NON-beauty item of 2011?

December 27, 2011 Paris B 64 Comments

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?

    This 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! *_*

      I’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 😛

        Ah, 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! 🙂

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
