I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and holiday season! I know the East coast got a ton of snow a week or two ago but MAN we really got hit hard on Christmas day. It really was a white Christmas. I had so much fun spending time with my family and actually got snowed in overnight with hubs' family. The roads were just ridiculous for a while because the snow got so thick. I literally saw 7 abandoned cars on various streets while going to hubs's parents' to my aunt's and back. Like just covered in snow, abandoned because they got stuck somewhere. I wanted to take pics but the roads were too dangerous for us to slow enough for pics. :P

Hehe, I guess safety comes first. WHATEVER.

So anyway, I wanted to share some pics that I've taken over the last few days. Just a warning, there are tons. I'm still getting used to my cam so please be kind as I'm no skilled photographer. ^^

I'll start off with an obligatory sel-ca (self cam) shot. Gotta wear that sparkly for the holidays! The sequin tank is part of my recent Forever 21 haul. :D Just went super laid back and natural for makeup this year.


Here is my car's mascot, a chilly-looking bumble bee Mashimaro.


Some yummy hot cocoa made from scratch


Some of my favorite decorations:


This was a surprise Christmas pressy I got for hubs. We call him Jingle Bear and he is the best ebay-bought bear puppet ever. He is constantly squinting and grimacing and is a joyful addition to the family. Jingle Bear is wearing my earmuffs to keep his ears warm (in case you were wondering why).

Yay, finally home. :D


I hope you all had a lovely holiday this year surrounded by those you love. Please tell me what you did because I'd love to hear about it!

Merry Christmas everyone!

PS- My gift to you this year is some eye candy: my good friend and wedding photographer, Kassia, started a beauty/photography blog http://colourup.blogspot.com/ so visit, bookmark, and follow her because her work is simply charming and you won't regret it! ;)

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and a happy holiday season! This year has been so much fun, especially because this was the first Christmas with my husband. 6 months of marriage has flown by so fast, it's unbelievable. I feel so blessed that we have our health and happiness this year, not to mention our loving friends and families.

I have a lot of things to post soon that have been piling up including a review for J. Lynne cosmetics, a tutorial on applying false eyelashes, photos of a few new holographic nailpolish I bought, and TONS of FOTDs that I need to organize. Before I do that though, I just wanted to share my look for Christmas this year. :)

I actually did this look for Christmas eve, but I think it's wonderfully Christmassy.



I just did a pinky-brown eyeshadow look with the revlon colorstay quad in copper spice with NYX cherry on the inner half of the lid.



Here was my outfit. Sheer white turtleneck sweater with a red sweater over it, vintage red belt, the cream scarf I wear practically everyday, and my lovely birthday boots!



They are the VANELi Ninon boots in Tmoro suede. I'm a little obsessed with the spat detailing on the side. Gotta love oversized buttons.



This was our Christmas tree. Are those Halloween ornaments still hanging on it?



Anyway, I wish you all a very happy holiday and God bless. I am so thankful for everyone who reads the blog, and especially those who stick up for me (you know who you are!) There is nothing better than receiving the love and support that I do from you guys. ;)
