Christmas Movies I Can’t Miss

December 20, 2013

Every year there are a handful of movies I look forward to and can’t miss. While there are a lot of other Christmas movies that I like to watch these are the ones that make my short list….

1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

This movie is just hilarious and also relatable 🙂 Shockingly I had never seen this movie until a few years ago and now Christmas is not complete without it!

2. Christmas with the Kranks

This is just a cute movie that makes me laugh.

3. One Magic Christmas

I have been watching this movie since I was a child. It is such a sweet movie and if I were to miss seeing it, it just wouldn’t seem like Christmas!

4. Home Alone

I love watching this cute Christmas comedy over and over…as a child I really enjoyed watching it with my Dad. It’s still one of his favorites too!

5. It’s a Wonderful Life

“Everytime a bell rings an angel gets his wings.” Truly a holiday classic!

These are my top five. What are some of your favorite Christmas movies?

Christmas Favorites

December 10, 2013

So, who can believe that Christmas is a little over 2 weeks away! I am so wishing we could stretch out December a few more weeks, there is just way too much fun to be had!

I love looking at all the gift guides this time of year, which got me thinking about some of my favorite things. So, here are a few that come to mind!

I recently purchased this lotion at Sephora and love it. Now that the weather is cooler my hands seem to stay chapped but this lotion is seriously helping. I bought this set of 3 so now I have one where ever I am!

If you are in the market for some awesome jewelry then you have to check out this website. Catbird I own one of their rings and I have a sneaky suspicion that I might be getting another one for Christmas! 😉

Now let’s talk shoes for a second. I am absolutely in love with Toms. I own 3 pair and I live in them. They are so comfortable that I honestly do not ever want to put on another kind of shoe. This season I have noticed their new boots and I can only imagine how comfy they must be! Love, Love, Love

Now as far as handbags go I usually do not spend alot of money on them because I like to change them so frequently but I have seen this one online and in person and really like it. It’s simple but nice, not to big or small. Just seems like a great everyday bag!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday season!

October Birchbox

October 13, 2013

I was a slacker last month and I forgot to post September’s box, it was a good one too…. but it’s a new month and I just received by Box for October and it is another great one! Since I just received the box I have not had the chance to try most of the products but I have read up on them and I cannot wait to give them a try! If you looking for a inexpensive way to try alot of great high end products Birchbox is definitely the way to go. You really cannot beat it for only $10 a month. Here’s what is inside….

DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum : This genre-bending serum uses a patented dual-phase technology to give skin double the benefits. Like a topnotch primer, it instantly hydrates skin, shrinks pores, and masks flaws. At the same time, the peptide-packed formula exfoliates and repairs skin cells for lasting anti-aging benefits.

the Balm cosmetics Stainiac : The tinted gel leaves a lasting stain on lips and cheeks. Since it’s water-based, it has a longer setting time than most quick-dry stains, which means it won’t leave any unsightly streaks behind as long as you take care to blend well. Use a single coat for a subtle look or layer it on for a more visible (yet still discreet) hue.

Shea Terra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Cleanser : This all-natural face wash and mask combines real African black soap— prized by women around the world for its abilities to battle blemishes and the signs of skin aging—with rejuvenating rose hips oil to leave your face clean and refreshed. Plus, its 100% natural, fragrance-free formula makes it gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.

Alison Raffaele Reality Base Foundation : Its weightless, oil-free formula is designed to look completely natural on skin, providing medium coverage and leaving your face silky-smooth. The foundation contains the protective and restorative Frutta di VitaTM antioxidant complex, a brand signature ingredient.

Chapstick Hydration Lock : Clinically proven to hydrate lips, the eight-hour balm also comes packed with antioxidant CoQ10 and healing vitamin E.
