Post Christmas Post

How was your day yesterday? Mine was amazing. I knew about most of the presents I was getting as I had picked them out with my mother on Black Friday.... but she had a few surprises for me as well.

Surprise #1:

My first Urban Decay Naked Pallet! I have never owned high end makeup before, just perfumes. I just about died when I unwrapped it. It is so beautiful! I found myself just staring at it every couple of minuits. The packaging is so beautiful, and the colors in the pallet are amazing. It is the original naked pallet, perfect for my complexion.

Surprise #2:

Givenchy Very Irresistible, an old favorite of mine. This was the first high end perfume I had ever gotten, I love the floral scent. I sadly finished off my first bottle in October, and decided to choose something new in its place. I love my Daisy by Marc Jacobs, but I missed that beautiful pink bottle sitting on my vanity. I never vocalized this.... she just knew!


Other great gifts included a beautiful new kindle, a blue ray player for my room, and lots of amazing clothing (all previously picked by me), but I was more than excited to unwrap them so I can now wear them. The tree will remain up for a bit longer, so I can still hold onto the Christmas spirit.

Did you get any big surprises? Leave the links below!

What I'm Wearing

So sadly today I have to go into work. But after my family is coming to the house and we are going to celebrate together. I want to be cute and comfortable all day so this is what I am wearing... (Not exactly, but the look I am going for.

I love cream and gold on Christmas, it is honestly my favorite combo. And I just recently began wearing brown leggings and have been loving them. I finally found riding boots that fit my larger calves so I wear them non stop....


Christmas Eve





Have you put together something for the Eve or is it all about tomorrow? The only reason I am changing into clothes tomorrow is for our annual movie trip. It started with The Lord of the Rings trillogy, and now with the Hobbit films... I am soooo excited to see it. But I will most likely spend the most of my day in pajamas.

I hope you all have an amazing day! Feel free to share your links below!

I survived!

And if all goes well I will have finished my time at Uni!!!!

So with that being said I am dedicating some of the free time I will now have to this blog. Have you all decorated and made cookies? It took a week for me to do my tree and I am far to exhausted to even think of being in the kitchen right now. My waist will thank me for it later too.

So with that I hope you  have all been doing well in my short leave of absence.

XO!
