Christmas Fun

Well, I enjoyed a lovely afternoon with my Mom on Sunday. We made this adorable gingerbread house (we bought it for her for St. Nick). By the way, it’s a lot harder and messier than you think to make one of these! But it turned out pretty cute.

Then we strung some popcorn to hang on her tree. She is doing an outdoor tree this year – for the birds. We decorated it with tiny baskets of seed, popcorn and red bows. It was really neat!

Love you Mom!

*Favorite Things*

Ok, I know that I am not Oprah, but I just had to point out a few of my favorite things (not including my very favorite hubby;)!

1. Rowenta Pressure Iron & Steamer

This baby comes with a pretty price tag – but let me tell you it’s worth every penny! The steaming action is absolutely amazing – I actually enjoy ironing now – because it’s super easy and fast! You literally only have to streak it one time!! Not to mention you feel like a rock star in your newly pressed clothes. You really get that ‘cleaners’ effect from this iron – a MUST buy item;) SEE DEMO HERE

2. UGGs

I love to shoot and as many of you know, I live in my UGGs. They are the most comfortable shoes on the planet and perfect for winter weather! Again, the price on these can get a bit steep ($160) but again, worth every penny. I’ve had the cheap kind before and they simply don’t compare to the quality of these boots. The leather is smooth, the sheep wool lining is super soft, and you don’t sweat in these. I love them. BUY HERE

3. David Archuleta – Crush

Yes, I know I might sound like a nerd for saying this… but, I LOVE the new American Idol star, David Archuletta’s, new CD – Crush. It has some really great beats and it’s squeeky clean – love that! Then again, I am a Clay-mate (Clay Aiken fan). It’s just one of those CD’s you can totally jam out to in your car. Don’t believe me? LISTEN HERE

4. Bare Minerals

I’ve been using this for years, but have found that a lot of ladies still don’t know about it. So if you aren’t already using this make up – order it immediately! I don’t like to wear a ton of make up or even look like I wear any sometimes, so this make up is the perfect fit. It just gives you that dewy natural finished glow. The starter pack gives you all of the brushes you need. It’s like being an artist and brushing these minerals onto your face everyday. Seriously, it’s natural so it’s good for your skin. It will change the way you look at make up AND yourself. BUY HERE
