Getting Closer...

Firstly, let me say how excited I am for being on their facebook fan page. I love CG's mascara, liquid concealer and sensitive skin foundation. Right now, they are doing a huge samples giveaway on facebook on their fanpage. They are sending eyeshadow and lipgloss for us to try and leave feedback for them. There may still be some being given away, so become their fan and try for it! I'm rather happy to be getting some free samples in the mail and I will let you know what they send me and how it looks!

That nice little infection that has everyone coughing, sniffling, fever, aching has attacked me too. For the first time since high school, I got put on a nebulizer. It did work though, better than I thought and it was nice to leave the doctor's in less pain. My theory is at least I'm getting this out of the way before christmas/my birthday/new years.


One thing about my family on mom's side is that we are list makers. No seriously. We make lists about everything. But one I actually find that everyone can use is to make a list of everyone you need to buy Christmas presents for. Then next to their name, write what you've purchased or want to find for them. It's much easier having something to follow and it means you won't forget anyone. (Sorry Brandon ^_^*) I'll show you mine but I'm not putting what I've actually found or am making because I want everyone to be surprised on Christmas!:

This helps quite a bit! For those of you near a dollar store, or 99cent store go there for your wrapping needs. They will have the cheapest deals on paper rolls, ribbon, bows and tags. If you're like me, you also snag the goodies right after Christmas where you can get everything for 75% off and hoard it for the next year!

These hershey's kisses are a current obsession right now. Don't worry you can get a one pound bag of the kisses at any store for about $3. They are so good! If you like mint chocolate, make yourself a cup of hot chocolate and drop a candy cane in it! The candy cane melts and leaves your drink minty! It's very good especially when you're trying to get rid of those excess candy canes.









Once I've made all my gifts I will post some pictures of them and let you see! I'm very proud of what I've done so far =) Please read my blog about water and please share it!!! Also leave me a comment and I will be glad to answer back! =)
