Mini Shopping Haul!

Hey Jelly Beans.

As promised today is the start of Hixxie Pixie Mania!!!!

So today, after work I went on a little shopping spree. Safe to say Christmas was on my mind and I had been telling myself all day that I was not to come home without something Christmassy for my room. 2 shops, 3 items all Christmas which I was super happy about. Let me show you what I have purchased shall I?

So first I purchased this cute little number. A white glass vanilla candle with a red reindeer pattern on. I haven't yet burnt it, but they had one going in the store and it smelt divine. The store was a little gift shop that had so many nice Christmas items in I could have bought everything. The price I paid was a whole £1!

Next up was this almost to cute for words bottle opener. Now I know I shouldn't be promoting alcohol drinking but when I saw this little guy with his little scarf I couldn't resist. As most of you may know I have the biggest obsession with owls. Well around Christmas penguins are top on my list of animals to purchase. Anyway that's going off at a slight tangent, I had to get this little fellow as my Dad is always misplacing his opener and I thought I would have a spare. Then after Christmas he can still be used as a little decoration on my worktable. Cost £1.99 complete bargain.
 
Finally was this stunning little man above. I mean seriously how cute is it? A super soft and fluffy snowman is just what my room needed to get me in the Christmas spirit. I think I may go back to the store and buy another one as they had a huge selection of characters. Hmmmm I may just have to do that. Anyway I purchased this and the penguin opener above from a small card store while looking for a birthday card for my Grandfather. £1.99 is what I paid again and I'm extremely happy.
 
So that's what I purchased today. Like I said it was a small shopping haul but an extremely cute one which made me very very happy.

Boomer Ball Review

My 3 year old (super energetic) Boxer puppy LOVES this ball. The Boomer ball's smooth and hard plastic makes it very DURABLE, even against my dog's teeth which seem to so easily shred every other toy he has. It's about the size of a bowling ball, so my DOG CANNOT PICK IT UP... THIS IS A GOOD THING!! It means he cannot 1. get it stuck in his mouth, or 2. chew it up or make those awful grooves in it with his teeth which would make the ball sharp as happens with many other hard plastic dog toys . Plus, the fact that he cannot pick it up with his mouth makes it all the more addictive and challenging for him. He bats it with his paws and pushes it around with his nose, or tries (with fail) to grab it with his mouth. However, because it is so LIGHT WEIGHT, the boomer ball doesn't leave him with swollen or bloodied paws or nose as many have said happens with the jolly ball Jolly Pet 14-Inch Push-n-Play, Purple. It's pretty noisy inside when it's being roll...

Berlin Day 2

Hello Jelly Beans, So todays post is going to be short and sweet, simply because I visited one place and then had to come home due to feeling a little poorly. So first thing was breakfast. Being summoned to the breakfast room this sight greeted me. Freshly squeezed juices, different teas and coffee. Doughnuts, croissants, toast, muffins both sweet and savoury, a huge selection of cereal and of course a fried breakfast. I went for some simple toast and a cuppa tea. Before heading out in the taxi to my next location to explore.   So I hear you all shout "where did you go today"? Well my dear friends, I shall tell you. Today I took a trip to the iconic landmark that is. The Berlin Wall. Well what can I tell you about this wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large ...
