My, what big ears you have!

Christmas came early this year! :)

My bf decided to drop off my gift ahead of time since we will be apart with our respective families for the holidays. Upon opening and discovering a snow leopard spirit hood, I did a little dance - more for the fact that he also bought the wolf version for himself! :D (The present was curiously unveiled outside and underneath the full moon right before the lunar Eclipse - Arooo!)

So why do I love Spirit Hoods?

• A portion of the sales go towards protecting certain animals (Product Blue label)
  
• Their hoods are so absolutely cuddly, adorable, and warm!
• Relatively hypoallergenic :P
  
• I love the fact that I can rock ears! :D
  

Eat your heart out Tai-lung! lol. :)

Snow Leopard

Silent » Mindful » Independent

The Snow Leopard has a presence unlike any animal, its spirit is full of beauty and grace. Always attentive and aware in it’s surroundings, people with the snow leopard spirit tend to be empathic and wise. It is a solitary animal that still loves to play!

Hmmm...I like to think of myself as those things but alas, I think I can only qualify for 1.5 of these qualities T_T

My hood with silky white lining



The hood itself keeps your head nice and toasty - the long flaps double as a scarf and mittens (complete with padded paws!) A tiny little zipper pouch is hidden alongside the lining of the flaps to stash away credit cards & cash on the go! The hood is well constructed and the FAUX fur is super-soft!

Wearing anything with ears may seem a little ridiculous Halloween aside - but I really don't care. I've joined the tribe and am MADLY in love! :)

Hello Kitty - Three Apples Exhibit

I know this is a bit late in coming (back in October!!!), but for those that weren't able to make it to Los Angeles for Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary, The Three Apples Exhibit was a huge tribute to the world's most famous mouthless kitty! It was called "Three Apples" because it is said that Hello Kitty is about the same weight as about 3 apples...cute!

There was such a crazy long line on Opening weekend that well...I wasn't able to spend 3 hours in line just to get in with my less-than-thrilled brother in law. I ended up going on a slower weekday...it was like I had the place to myself!

There was a ton of HK inspired art, a video room, displays of a collection of products, and even HK clothes worn by celebrities like Paris Hilton (left), Lady Gaga (center), and Katie Perry (far right).

Some of my favorite pieces of artwork are below.

The one below is my favorite of the group. It reads: "I Haz Mouth!"

This sculpture was titled: Hellooooo Kitty. I thought it was scandalous!

This art gallery normally hosts other exhibits and has a permanent store and a "Maid Cafe" -- for this occasion they were serving Hello-Kitty themed everything. I snapped a shot with one of the waitresses...so cute!

I was impressed with this sparkly number worn by Britney Spears -- love the pink crystals in the bow!

Cute sign on the way out

Almost time for a day off, can't wait to try out my moisturizing masks! :)
