Awesome Christmas Gift Ideas + My first GIVEAWAY!!

If you are on top of your game, you are probably already thinking about Christmas gifts. If you are on the bottom of your game, you probably wish that you thought about Christmas gifts before December 24th. One day in the  faraway future, I will maybe have Christmas gifts bought and wrapped and stored away in a snug little closet somewhere. I actually bought the first Christmas gift of the season last week (George and June, you are the lucky winners. Good thing you can't read this).

In case you didn't know, my beautiful mom has her own Mary Kay business that she started after she retired from teaching. Mary Kay is a great company that sells cosmetics and skin care products. I've used their cosmetics since I was allowed to wear makeup and used the skin care products before that. Actually, when I was really little, Mom sold Mary Kay and I used to steal the samples for my own personal makeovers. So basically I've been using it forever!

I did my own makeup for my wedding using Mary Kay products. (Ok, I had a little help from the bff.) But it turned out beautiful!

My mom has been using Mary Kay since she was in her twenties and has amazing skin.

My Grandma Frank has been using Mary Kay products for 35 years.

Beautiful.

We've been exchanging Mary Kay products as gifts for Christmas for years now. It's perfect because the products are luxurious and useful at the same time. There is something for every price range- you might be surprised at everything you can get!

A few great gift ideas:

1. Mascara (starting at $10)
2. A Lash Love mascara, Oil Free Eye Remover, and eye lash curler set ($30)
3. An eye shadow ($6.50) or eye shadow with applicator ($9)
4. A lip color (either a lipstick, liquid lip color, or lip gloss) ($13)
5. Lip color + lip liner pencil ($23)
6. Hand cream ($10) or Satin Hands Luxury Set ($34)
7. Satin Lips Set ($18)
8. Mint Bliss Energizing Foot Lotion for feet and legs ($10)
9. A fragrance (starting at $25)

Friday Flower Club: the best club to be in.

Unless you were in the Babysitters' Club. Because that club seemed pretty cool too.

The Friday Flower Club is this super sweet club I'm in. There is this cute flower shop called Rainbow's End right around the corner. And if you are in their club (the Friday Flower Club) you get a bouquet of flowers every Friday for $5. The flowers are completely different every week and you never know what they will be. Yay for surprises! Yesterday was the prettiest bouquet yet so I thought I would do a quick recap of some of my bouquets.

Obviously I took great care in the background of this pic. You can see all our cereals, a med bottle, my yellow gloves, and an empty wine bottle. So classy.

Bright carnations.

I don't know what these are but I like them.

And this week's flowers. Love.

And here is my breakfast, because you are totally dying to know. Scrambled eggs with bacon, pesto, and Parmesan. Yum yum.

I feel super productive this morning because I've already cleaned the kitchen, gone to the farmer's market, and been to the grocery store. This day is going to be good.
