Pop Sugar Must Have Box: December 2015

This is my second year subscribing to Pop Sugar Must Have Box and I'm such a huge fan of this subscription box and I really enjoy receiving it every month. Here is what I received in my December PSMH Box: ^December 2015 Information Card^ ^What Inspired The December Box^ Stowaway Cosmetics Creme Lipstick Trio Retails for: $30 From the information card: "Stowaway Cosmetics #rightsize lipstick trio was designed for the girl on the go. Lisa Sugar handpicked these dreamy hues, perfect for holiday parties and small enough to fit in the smallest of clutches." I love the idea that the lipsticks are designed small to fit into any size purse. However, I don't wear lipstick. I normally use lip balm or the Stila lip glazes. I gave this to my mom since she liked the colors. Nima Oberoi Lunares Geo Stopper Retails for: $24 From the information card: "Wine drinkers will love this exclusive geo stopper. San Francisco designer Nima Oberoi han

Holiday Questionnaire

I found this holiday questionnaire from this blog:  jamiffer.blogspot.com  and decided to do it on my blog as well. Credit:  This Blog A Holiday Tradition: Growing up, we had a lot of traditions. We always read The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve at the end of the night. We would go around in the car and look at all of the Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music on the radio. We also exchanged the gifts we brought for each other on Christmas Eve. Every year, my mom, aunt, cousins, and I would spend a day making Christmas cookies and then after we were all done baking, we got pizza for dinner. We also would go into the City and see the Christmas Tree and decorations in Rockefeller Center and some years we would also see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.  What you'd love to see Santa bring you most this year: Gift cards to my favorite stores This Blog What's your go to stocking stuffer item: Candy Who is the hardest to shop for

Five on Friday

1. Rest Peacefully, Carter A week ago today, my brother and his family had to put their dog Carter to sleep. He was 13 ½ years old and my brother and his wife got him when he was just a little puppy. I call my siblings dogs my fur nieces and nephews. Carter has been in my life for a long time and I loved him like he was my own dog. I have so many wonderful memories of him and with him. Rest peacefully, sweet boy. ^The above photos of Carter are so funny. I was trying to get a good picture of him & I but he kept giving me kisses.^ ^These photos are so very precious & priceless to me.^ 2.

My mom and I also went to a bunch of different stores. On Sunday, my mom and I spent the morning cleaning and getting stuff done.
