It's the most wonderful time of the year...




In case you can't guess I love Christmas! The family time, visiting with friends, going to see Santa, the lights, decorations all of it. They are starting to do the Christmas movies already and I am loving it! I have started some of my decorating part of it being my village set... I will be posting pictures once it is done but I keep switching it around right now. I also have to find the box with all of the people so keep a check for the official decorating post. Here are a few of the pieces I have...

St. Nicholas Square Village Collection Country Stable

You can check them out online at Kohl's.

I also have my Willow Tree Angel Nativity Set

*The Three WisemenNativity

as well as a table top tree of just willow tree ornaments.


And the fun part... I do have a full size tree with everything on it but I also have a Disney/ Kid tree in the kitchen every year. It has all of the Disney characters I love, movie characters, toy ornaments it is wonderful (yes I know I'm a big kid).

So check back because once it is all done I will post the pictures. Merry Christmas!

I am trying to figure out what fun new makeup I want hubby to get me for Christmas. I have some ideas so here it is...

Oh, How Pinteresting



Today is Pinteresting Wednesday so go link up with Michelle at the Vintage Apple!

Today I need to take a deep breath and relax. I am so mad, stressed and irritated I can't even think straight. The one good thing is I leave at lunch to go with L3 to her doctors appointment. So today I decided to find pins to relax and laugh enjoy.

Makeup Monday

Happy Makeup Monday hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I had an awesome package at my house on Friday and I just have to show you the goodies!

There is an amazing magazine New Beauty that comes out and if you love makeup you will love it. You also have the option to go on auto delivery of the test tube through New Beauty or at QVC (they have limited quantities there so you have to get them fast). You get the magazine as well as the test tube filled with some full size and some jumbo samples. The ones I have gotten I have gotten so far are from Q.  I really wanted it this time and here is what I got...




So here are the products and thoughts so far...

 
Josie Maran- Argan Oil
okay so this I was worried would make my skin really oily not the case it really seeps into the skin and is amazing!

So far so good this is one thing I am very picky about. I like the ones that go on with a really creamy feeling and this has that texture so I do like it. To soon to know much else.

Perricone MD- Firming Neck Therapy
I like the texture so we will wait and see ...

Laura Gellar- Baked Eyeshadow
Have not tried the one they sent yet but I do have several of her baked eyeshadows in other colors and I really do love them.

Mally that should say it all.. of course I love this it is insane just like everything else she has! The black is a very rich creamy look to it and I love it!

Wen .... people you know i love anything Chaz does but this one is a home run I absolutely love the scent (check back on Q not available yet but coming out this month)  of this and as always what it does to your hair is a miracle! This is one I will definitely have to stock up on.

Philosophy- Snow Angel shower gel
This has such a clean refreshing scent and not overpowering at all. I think this one is one anybody would love will definitely putting the full size on my ever growing wish list.

So far so good. I do like it love the minty clean taste... we will see.


The best part ...all of this was only $29.95 plus shipping and tax. Just the full size baked shadow would have been $23 and the full size liner $15 you just can't beat it!
