What I got for Christmas 2014
 
 First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! whoooooooo!!
 
Secondly, I don't know about you but one of my favorite holiday activities is to watch "What I got for Christmas" videos. I'm such a hard core fan of them that I even watch them in the summer. I know, super lame. I even love the blog ones. I'm just super nosey and I love knowing what other people got. So I thought it would be fun to do the same on my blog. I didn't want to show everything so I choose some of my favorite presents.
Also I didn't really want to do a disclaimer because honestly who isn't grateful for everything they have in their lives and I know that hearing another disclaimer is just boring.  So without further adieu...   




 


Literally the cupcake beanie and the reindeer spatula are my absolute favorites.

P.s.- If you did a "What I got for Christmas" post on your blog/Youtube channel please, please, please leave a link in the comment section!!! I loved to see it!

My Christmas in polaroids
 
Hey guys, Happy New Year! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and had a lot of fun and food. 
I didn't really know what kind of post I wanted to publish. I've had such a fun week that I wasn't able to pick a good post to show it. So, since I had gotten a polaroid over Christmas I thought it would be cool to show them.
:)
Most of them are from Christmas but some of them are not. Either way I hope you enjoy.

Someday Summary

It was my 19th birthday on Monday and I celebrated with my family and friends, eating ramen, having birthday cake, and opening presents. It was awesome. 

I found out my dog hates the sound of my kitchen aid and likes to sleep on my clean clothes. 

School is FINALLY over for the semester! Whoop whoop! Time to stay in bed and hibernate. I'm practicing my skill to stay in bed for prolong periods of time. Its takes a lot of endurance, let me tell ya. 

I literally cannot wait for Christmas. Family. Food. Presents. And most important regaining my championship title in Monopoly. 

I have been appreciating those people who practically use all the electricity in the neighborhood for their decoration because they know what's up. 

Last but not least, I'm going to start posting more food/baking recipes in here. I hope you guys don't mind. :) 

Oh and Merry Christmas Eve!!!

What I'm currently burning...




Since it gets darker a lot sooner, my favorite thing to do is to light my tree and burn Fresh Balsam because it smells exactly like Christmas trees. It isn't the prettiest of all the candles but it is the only candle that is half empty and diminishing as I type. 

I am also currently loving Vanilla Bean Noel and I now understand why everyone else loves it so much. It smells like something sweet with a little hint of vanilla. It kinda reminds me of Christmas sugar cookies...My nose maybe off on that BUT it does smell like something sweet. Haha 

  Next up is Winter Candy Apple. I haven't burned this one yet so if you have it, let me know what you think of it! :)

Last but not least is Banana nutmeg bread pudding. It is by far my favorite! It's that smell that makes you forget all your problems. Haha, maybe not but it's pretty close. It doesn't smell like bananas it smells more like nutmeg and warm spices but oh my goodness it smells so freaking good. If it was edible you bet your butt I would be eating it right now. (I'm sorry for the hostility, it just smells so good!) And that packaging! Props to whoever made it! 

What are you currently burning?
