Hey everyone!

My Christmas Decor

Hey everyone!
Along with beauty, reading, and writing, I also love to interior design. So I put these photos together of a few small areas in my room where I have some decorations. Normally I don't decorate my room, it's just the house decorations, but this year I decided to be a little more festive!

Hopefully this may give you some inspiration before the holidays hit! Some of these are self-explanatory, but I will talk about a few. First of all, in the top right I put out my holiday lotions from B&BW. Below that, I actually stuck that ornament into that little tree. In that white dish there used to be bracelets, but I filled it with silver and gold themed candies-Hershey Kisses and Rollos. I don't know where any of this stuff is from- wait... The sparkly silver Christmas tree I got at Walgreens last year for $1! But the stockings I received and the Christmas tree my mom gave me. And obviously, the lotions are from B&BW!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Talk to you soon!

TAG: Winterlicious

Hey everyone!
So I was tagged by Grace from Preppy on the West Coast to do this tag, and I thought how fun would this be! Enjoy!

1. Favorite Winter Nail Polish?

I have been loving nails inc. 'The Boltons' and I have a NOTD post for it.

 

2. Favorite Winter Lip Product?

For me, it has to be a lip balm. Especially when it's the Fresh Sugar kind.

 By now, you all probably know about my obsession. But trust me, they are amazing.

 

3. Most Worn Clothing Piece?

Sweaters/Cardigans! I wear sweaters and cardigans all the time. I have been wearing

 my LOFT Cardigan a lot, it's a heavy material but still fits lightly and I love it! I also

have an Abercrombie sweater that's a size bigger and a thicker material too.

 

4. Most Worn Winter Accessory?

One word: UGGS. Where I live, my feet feel frozen when I wear

other shoes. They're just so comfy, cute, and warm!

 

5. Favorite Winter/Candle Scent?

My mom doesn't trust me with candles, haha, probably smart, but I have been using

B&BW Vanilla Bean Noel and love the scent!

 

6. Favorite Winter Beverage?

I have been drinking tea about every morning, but I also love this Candycane

Cocoa Mix my mom got.

 

7. All Time Favorite Christmas/Holiday Movie?

To be honest, I don't watch a lot of Christmas movies, nor do I have a favorite.

But I'll just be my obsessive weird side for a moment and say The Hunger Games. :)

 

8. Favorite Christmas/Holiday Song?

Hmmm.... any of the originals like Frosty the Snowman or Winter Wonderland. It gets me into the spirit more than the modern twist of the songs.

 

9. Favorite Holiday Food Treat?

Angel Pie. Third favorite food. I don't know if it is a family recipe but it's so good!

10. What is your favorite decoration this year?
In my room, I hung 4 little stockings on my headboard which I love. I will probably
do a post showing you all what I did to my room!

11. What Tops Your Christmas Wishlist This Year?
A Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC in soft gray! And I got one... because I may have, may have not, looked at a Christmas box with a SHIP FROM: REBECCA MINKOFF.... oops?

12. What are your plans for the holidays this year?
What I do every year! I spend time with my family and it's so fun. :)

I TAG ALL OF YOU.

Christmas Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!
As you can tell from the title, I'll be sharing what I want for Christmas this year. I have a few specific things I like to get, but I also tell my mom to surprise me! I have a Christmas Wishlist on my other blog for books. In general, I ask for beauty products and clothes. I will not receive all of these things, and my mom (she does the shopping) may change out one thing with a different beauty product or something. Anyways, here's the list:

 

 

~Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

~iPhone 4S White

~LUSH: Mrs. Frosty Gift Set

~The Hunger Games Collector's Edition

~The Hunger Games Nail Polish

~Skylark by Elle and Blair Palette

~Fresh: Sugar Perfection Duo

~Fresh: Soy Face Cleanser (and/or)

~Fresh: Skin-Savers Kit

~PB Teen Wall Plank (Laugh)

 

 

I really want a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC because I have a really large tote, and then a few small bags. Some are from Vera Bradley, and I have one wristlet from Coach. I figure that if I do get this, I will use it so much and keep it for as long as it live, which may be as long as I live, haha.

I also want a new phone, specifically the iPhone. My dad has one, my brother has 2 iTouches (one of them the screen is missing, so even if he did give it to me, I wouldn't do much with it, and he still uses it), and my mom has an iPad. I have an iPod nano, lol. I got it in fourth grade and it has a bunch of other songs on it and stuff, so I never really use it. You may see now why I want an iPhone. My phone is also due for an upgrade this month. :)

For the LUSH goodies, I haven't tried LUSH out and I really want to! Especially the bath bombs!

The Hunger Games=<333333333333 times 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.... (get the point?) plus Nail Polish= <3 and when you put them together <3333!

I feel as though I don't have to explain my obsession (with THG) and the Fresh Sugar Lip Balms and products. So yeah.

As some of you know, I am also obsessed with YouTube, and of course, I watch Elle and Blair! I have been watching them for a long time (ish) and wanted to support them in a way other than watching all their videos!

For the PB Teen thing, I have been wanting this for what feels like forever, and so I just decided to ask for it for Christmas!

Let me know what your asking for for your holiday in the comments!

My Top 5 Winter/Christmas Products on 'Preppy on the West Coast"

Hey Everyone!
Sorry I haven't posting regularly, school is so hectic! But I do have a special treat for you all! I did a guest post for Grace on her amazing blog, Preppy on the West Coast. In this guest blog, I share with you my top five favorite products for the upcoming season and Christmas! Some of you will be able to name them already though (Sugar Rose Lip Balm? Yup!) You can see it here and while you're there, make sure you check out the rest of her blog. It's so awesome! Honestly, it's one of my favorites! And if you're feeling extra generous, you can follow her blog too! I had so much fun making the guest post, and if any of you are interested in doing one for this blog (or my book blog), let me know in the comments or check out my contact page and email me. Thanks again. Bye for now! -Kait

My Top 5 Winter/Christmas Scents

Hey everyone!
I absolutely love this time of year, so I will be making a bunch of posts related to winter/Christmas! Today's post I decided to share with you are my top five favorite scents. You can actually find all of them at Bath and Body Works, except the last one which is by PINK. B&BW does have PINK products, and I looked online, but they didn't have the scent I wanted.

1. Vanilla Bean Noel

This scent to me smells exactly like roasting marshmallows. It's sweet, but not overly. It's a cozy type of scent if that makes sense to you.

2. Twisted Peppermint

Of course, this scent is very minty smelling. It has a little bit of a sweet side to it, but it's mostly just minty!

 

3. Winter Candy Apple

I've never smelled a candy apple before; however, I'm assuming that is what this scent smells like. It smells sweet with a little twinge of something else.

 

4. Moonlight Path

This scent is part of B&BW Signature Collection, not the holiday one. It's a musky, floral scent that I really like for the fall/winter time of year.

 

5. PINK's Soft and Dreamy

This scent also reminds me of Vanilla Bean Noel in a way, but they do smell different. This has a whipped cream type of scent. (I had to look this one up :P)

Clarisonic-Mia2?

Hey everyone!
I was thinking about asking for a Mia2 by Clarisonic for Christmas, but is it really worth it? If you have tried it out, definitely let me know down below!
Xoxo,

Great Deals on my Favorite Lip Balm (Fresh Sugar Lip Balms)

Hey everyone!
I was looking around at Sephora and looking at their gift sets and saw that Fresh came out with a bunch of sets involving the Fresh Lip Balms. These are by far my absolute favorite lip balm! I have a review here. Anyways, I would love to have a billion of these, but they are very pricey at $22.50. Like I said, I found quite a few of these sets including them, and so for those who haven't tried them out yet or love them like me, I decided to post links down below for you all! This is not sponsered or anything, but I thought it would be a good idea to share with you all!

Sugar Berry Merriment Set $28 (I got this last year except that the lip balm was Rose and there was High Noon instead of the scrub.)

Sugar Addiction Mini Lip Collection $48

Kissing Ritual $25

Sugar Perfection Duo $22.50 (This is probably going to be on my wishlist for Christmas!)

Sugar Soiree Mini Lip Collection $68 (Contains 8 Products)

Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Trio $28

I didn't put all of them, but if you do get to try them out, let me know what you think! -Kait
