Last weekend we went to a Swedish flea market. You could get pretty good deals there, especially if you go there on a Sunday. I saw this blanket and I just had to have it. I have noticed that I like to collect blankets. They are so nice to snuggle up under when your relaxing on the couch, or cuddling up with your sweetie. This one caught my eye, because of the moose's. Perfect to keep you warm and cuddly in the winter.
Moose Blanket My all time favorite make up store were giving out a free Jumbo Lip Pencil. The offer was for Beauty Insider members and for today only. Although the boxing day rush, I got myself to the nearest Sephora store and picked me up one of these beauty items. There weren't many colors to choose from, so I just picked whatever.
I took a little break during the holiday, a well needed rest for sure. The dinner get together turned out pretty alright, I think all of us enjoyed it. Goodie bags seemed to be a hit, not many were expecting them. Yesterday was all about spending time with the family and watching the kids go nuts over their gifts. As I mentioned before, us oldies don't get to sit on Santa's lap anymore, so I wasn't expecting anything. But I guess I have been a good girl, cause I got a set of two lovely Japanese bowls with cherry blossom motive. And to add to my beauty collection I also got a set of Elizabeth Arden Lip glosses in a chic little photo book.
Oh gosh, I have spent the whole evening wrapping Christmas gifts and making goodie bags. And I also managed to vacuum and finish off the laundry. I don't like leaving things for the last minute, but I find myself quite often in that position where I'm running around panicking. So now the gifts are wrapped, got two more gifts to go. But the last ones are always the hardest to figure out. The goodie bags are for tomorrow nights get together, that I planned for the "youngsters" in the family. I am hoping to turn this dinner to an annual event. I did the goodie bags last year as a surprise, so I thought it would be nice to do it again. I hope everyone likes it!
I guess the biggest snowstorm of the year has hit Toronto, only days before Xmas. Yesterday, we just started working on the Christmas gifts. We have decided too only buy gifts for the kids, since I don't have kids, that means I don't get any. Yes, I know, too bad for me. But the look on these kids faces when they open their gifts is priceless, but this requires the perfect gift of course. I was hoping to finish off the gifts today, but I didn't expect the snowstorm to hit. Hopefully it will ease up in a couple of hours.
