Peppermint winter

Hi fabulous people,
I have a tendency of finding it sad how fast my whole family is growing up. I mean, we used to have a TON of Christmas presents around the tree, and this year it wasn't really that many. Luckily, once the older ones keep getting older, and get married, there will be more kids. Yeah, I really am excited about that. ANYWAYS... this year was preeeetty good. I kind of wish it wouldn't have went so fast though. Funny thing this year... wellllll, every year, my uncle does something mean to me with my present (like two years ago he wrapped it up within like ten boxes and ten packages and ten envelopes, last year he got me shoes and put them in a plastic bag and wrapped it in duct tape) So this year I had a box, wrapped it in duct tape, then had him open it, then inside the box was another box with duct tape also, inside that box was onions and a note that said "Sorry, wrong one. Go to bottom." and then on the very bottom, was duct tape, in a zip lock baggy there was twenty five dollars. This year he just got a big bucket of water with a brick on it, and hoping it would freeze, he put a little thing on the bottom, and I had to get it to. It was reeeeally easy.) Did I mention my handsSTILL smell like onions?! They do. I can't get the smell to go away and i'm not putting them in tomato juice. So, pleeeeease if you have any ideas of how to get rid of the smell, please help me.

Well, anyways, here is what I got... (p.s. please excuse the terrible lighting in the pictures. it was in my computer room, and it stinks terribly.)

First picture - Belt from friend.

Second picture - Notebook from friend.

Third picture - Every scarf I got. From my grandma (all the colorful ones) Then the black, grey, and white one (from my aunt&uncle&cousins)

Fourth picture - Hair clip (there were two of them) from friend.

Not shown - Forever21 gift card (from brother), walmart gift card (from grandparents), Leg warmers and tights (parents), two cardigans (parents), shirt (parents), money (uncle, grandparents), pajamas (parents), lip gloss (parents), sweater (parents), dvds (parents).


I know, my Christmas didn't consist of a lot of things. Buuuut, the forever21 $50 dollar gift card made me happy! ;) i'll have to definitely post pictures of what I get from there. Annnnnd, i'm so sorry this post is so long. If you actually took the time to read this, you've made me extremely happy. Oh, and i'll be leaving for Tennessee tomorrow! :) I'm super excited.  I've going through my clothes like "Oh man, I reeeally need to find something to wear." Cute, but comfortable. It seems like those two can't even go together anymore.

It's about Christmas...

Last night was kind of a boring night and when i'm bored I like to do things. I decided I wanted to wrap presents! I ran downstairs to do so, and then my brother came down eagerly to ask me to wrap two of his presents for mom and dad. I agreed, being the sweet sister I am, and went along with it. I finally finished. 


Today, I was bored again... and my mom mentioned that her presents to everyone needed wrapped. I thought it would be a great time to get un-bored again. I started going downstairs to wrap more presents. There were a lot, but it didn't reeeally look like a bunch so I figured, oh well who cares. There isn't a lot anyways. And continued. (Somehow when I start getting un-bored like wrapping presents half my friends want to talk to me all at the same time. Go figure.) I continued wrapping, and wrapping, annnnd wrapping. Until my feet hurt and I didn't know why. Come to find out, I had been wrapping presents for four hours. Yeah, that explains a lot. Like, why i'm so tired. I'm still not done, and I decided I would take a break so I could get on here and blog about it. You know you're excited. Haha, no just kidding. 


BESIDES THAT... Christmas is coming up reeeally fast. The only person it's not going fast to... is my mom. I don't understand. ha! I did actually wrap my own presents tonight. Yes, really and truly. I promised my mom I wouldn't look inside the box. Annnnd, I didn't. I'm proud of myself. Hahah. 


ANYWAYS, I want to know how your Christmas wrapping/shopping has went. Did you look for things ON SALE? Spend lots of money? Buy small gifts? Share it with me! :)

Update

Update: Hey there, just letting you know that hopefully by tomorrow I will post some other outfits. My computer plug got a short in it so my dad will have to fix that later tonight hopefully. I did take pictures today of one of simple outfits so hopefully I can get those edited by tomorrow. Todays photoshoot was interesting. My friend went to take pictures of me and we were out there for awhile and then we went out front and the dog that lives across from us got loose and jumped on us. The dog was nice but I hate it when that happens! Anyways, hope everyone is doing great. I'm going through other people's blogs all the time!

P.s. check out Kenziefaith's giveaway on her blog! Super cute! 

Ciao! Xo

You may call it smiling...

 Christmas is almost here and i'm almost done with Christmas shopping. What could be better, I mean seriously? 

So, um yeah I know I don't blog as much anymore. Shoot me now. It'll be okay though because i'm going to 'try' to start again. Things get busy. 

So, eh, here's the outfit I wore Sunday night. Good lord it got hot after like 30 minutes after the service. I lived though. 

The jacket I promise i've had for over two years. I only wear in the winter. The black long sleeved shirt i've had for a year and the grey skirt has been passed down from two other people in my house down to me. It's one of those skirts that if you have nothing else to wear... you wear that skirt. It's so simple to find things to go with it. 

Interruption.. the phone you see there will no longer be mine as of Wednesday December 1. Yes fokes, you heard right. & I will be getting the blackberry curve. Who could ask for more? :) Anyways, my dad will be having control over my enV3. He's pretty excited I might add ;)

As for my hair, that was a different story. I wanted to go online and talk to my friends that I said brb to before I had to leave so I hurried up and did it. Turned alright I suppose. I wanted something simple but just lovely and curly. 

Random thing i've been doing...

Following people I don't know, but loving their blog. 

Bear with me as I continue to design my blog.

Oh, and if you aren't following me... be sure to. ;)


Btw, I suggest you follow me on twitter too.

Have you watched...

America’s Got Talent? I have been, and I love it. I missed a lot of it because I started late and it took me awhile to get interested in it again. So, now I am watching it on HULU. Okay, so Michael Grimm won this season, and personally I thought he was good but I just didn’t think he was better than that little girl who sings AMAZINGLY. I watched it last year, and it went well. I didn’t agree with last year, Kevin Skinner. I wasn’t too crazy about him… I would much have rather had that opera lady win.  Anyways, I love it.

After I completely finish this season with America’s Got Talent, I am going to start watching Dancing With the Stars. I’ve never really watched the seasons of it. I have watched a few of them on TV at a hotel. But I don’t have a TV with Cable. Just a TV with a dvd and vcr player.

Anyways, what do you think about America’s got talent and Dancing with the stars?
