"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them
so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know,
with a white quilt, and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings,
so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know,
with a white quilt, and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings,
till the summer comes again.'" - Lewis Carroll

I don't usually do well in the cold, mentally physically nor emotionally, but New Zealand was amazing enough for me to overlook the freezing temperatures. My lips tend to go purple when temperatures fall, so to brighten my complexion I've turned to the ever reliable red lippy. How beautiful is it to have a bright pop of red against all the winter white that New Zealand bestows, it's like a vision of Snow White. Except my hair isn't ebony, but maybe it ought to be... maybe soon.
