Shopping in the Slush

I WOULD say "Shopping in the Snow", as we had about 5 inches of the fluffy stuff last night - however, this has all started to melt throughout the day, so many are slipping and sliding their way around. This included me as I went shopping today; I nearly fell over a fair few times!

This is what it looked like last night:

Let's just say that huge snowflakes + a couple of friends up for a snowball fight/walk = one INCREDIBLY happy Cathy :3

Anyway - shopping! I had to buy jogging bottoms today, for 1. my uni course and 2. keeping fit (optional), so it was only right to have a little wander around York for something to do.

I popped into the Yorkshire Soap Company's shop (Blake Street) today to have a little look around, and I'm pleased to report that not only does the soap look more amazing than ever, they've got these HUGE candles that look like fresh-fruit-based cakes!! They told me they were made in Italy (hi to any Italians reading this)!
Photos aren't allowed in the shop, so have a look at their website if you have a couple of moments: http://theyorkshiresoapcompany.co.uk/en/. As for the fresh-fruit candle cakes - well, you'll just have to see them in the shop to believe it!

Anyway, steering gently away from the well-deserved promo, I also popped into a WHSmiths looking for a pen (which I forgot about after this event), when I saw a Costa I found on Monday. Not only did I have my lunch in there, I inadvertently stayed in the warm for at least 2 hours!
I wasn't complaining though - the staff were very friendly, one of which I had chatted to on Monday already, so we picked up our conversation whilst he was kept busy by a swarm of customers! He told me that this Costa was usually "the quietest Costa in York" - although now I've mentioned it, he'll probably have more customers to deal with. *Sorry!*

Ooh! By the way! I posted another vlog thingy on YouTube a few days ago, as the blog hit 2500 pageviews!!! Woop woop! *does a little dance* If you want to check it out, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpGreD19Ib8

I think that's all I've got for the moment, peeps :) Now for dinner exploits...
