My latest splurge? Shoes. I’m loving the feeling of the holidays that I’m getting to be more adventurous on my shoe shopping spree. I’ve bought myself a couple of sneakers but I’m looking into buying a pair or two of boots too.

Boots aren’t practical to be worn all year long in this country. But since the holiday season gets slightly colder and for a longer period in the day, a pair or two helps a lot to keep warm. I’m thinking of getting a pair of UGG boots since I’ve read quite a lot about it online and I think it might work well during this season.

How many pairs of boots do you own? Does your country allow you to wear them all year round?

One thing I don’t link when it’s rainy here is that garbage pickup is always delayed. Instead of their weekly pickup, it extends to about 11 days to a full 14 days (sometimes more). But because I also want to lessen the use of plastics in the house, I was actually thinking of starting a compost bin. I hope I can get a cheap compost tumbler too so I can go full force in reducing, recycling and reusing our waste materials.
