🍎 A new MDX, Lego and iPhone

Hello there!

I witnessed a snow storm here in New York last week! (it's so cold that the snow is still here after 4 days 🤯) I've always been a winter-loving kid but NYC really has me questioning if I love winters as much. 😅

I also got myself a couple of shiny toys! I bought my first Lego set and an iPhone — I'm lovin' it. And Remote got a facelift!
