What I Wear When I Snowboard And The Gear I Use

Hello lovelies!

In my last post, I have finally announced my Youtube channel. I'm still so nervous but at the same time really excited about the support all of you have given me. I'm giddy with ideas for both my blog and my channel and I'm keeping a positive outlook and believing that I'd have time and energy to pull through everything!

In the meantime, spring time supposedly started this week but today was freakin' cold. My coworker even said that we're 20 degrees below the average temperature for this time of the year for the area. Crazy, huh? Anyway, that means that snowboarding season is just about done for my side of the world (Although because of this crazy winter spell, my local ski resort decided to extend their season til the end of March!). 

So for you guys who are just about getting into winter or going on a skiing/ snowboarding trip, I wanted to share with you what I wear when I snowboard and also the gear I use. I LOVE wearing bright colors when riding. It just brings the mountain fashion into a whole new level of coolness. I also prefer baggy apparel so that I can move more comfortably especially when we're doing trying out the parks!

Get ready with me: - See all the layers I wear on a typical snowboarding day!

Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions! If you're new to snowboarding and interested in getting your own gear but are overwhelmed by all the choices, let me know. I'm not claiming to be an expert but I'll try to help you the best I can.

See you later,

PS.
I would really appreciate it if you subscribed to my channel. And if you have any ideas for posts/ videos that you'd like to see, please don't hesitate to share!

Take One Day 5: Tan Boots... A Cheat Day

I feel like I cheated a little bit today. I took the easy route and went with the shoes from yesterday. Just like what I did for Day 2. Originally, I was gonna take the (faux) leather jacket but I didn't anticipate the weather. Today was actually really nice and I felt that wearing a jacket was kind of inappropriate. Today felt like a light sweater day. As usual, I was running late so I took what I felt was the easiest to take from the last outfit: the tan boots.

sweater/ cardigan: Papaya

sweater top: Forever21

belt: gift

pants: Verdict

boots: Sears

cuff bracelet: flea market

Have a great weekend! (An extra fun weekend if you have Monday off, like I do! Yay!)

Take One Day 3: The Long Dress Shirt

For today's outfit, I took the shirt from Day 2. I must admit that this was a little tricky. Both Day 1 and Day 2 only had a couple of items that I can take - that's what I get for oversleeping and rushing in the morning all the time.  Also, this dress shirt is so old and worn, it's borderline sloppy. Lol But again, my job lets me, if not requires me to wear items that I don't mind getting ruined. So anyway, to dress it up a little bit, I decided to also wear this cute mustard yellow crocheted top. It's perfect to cover up a tiny spot on my shirt that may or may not have been from the chocolate drizzle on my yogurt. I swear I'm like a three year old sometimes.

I bet if I hadn't said anything, you wouldn't notice I got a haircut huh? I still don't know how I feel about it. I've wanted to get legit bangs (not side swept) all my life and yesterday, I sorta kinda decided to go for it. I told my stylist to make it short enough that I can wear it like regular bangs but long enough to do it side swept if I didn't like it. As you can tell, the bangs freaked me out so I wore it mostly side swept today. I feel like this (sort of) new style makes my face rounder than already is. We'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.

OOOHHH, and guess who got a surprise flower delivery at work today?

They were beautiful!

Happy almost Valentine's Day, friends!
