Christmas 2014 | A Few of My Favourite Things

I just wanted to share a few of my favourite Christmas gifts with my lovely readers!  This post includes a beautiful tea mug, some Sephora Christmas sets, and some lovely gloves from my boyfriend!  I was lucky this Christmas to spend time with my boyfriend and his family in the countryside, and to spend New Years with my family in Cuba!  

These Cupcakes Have No Calories! | Adventures in Soap Making

Over Christmas break I learned how to make soap!  I won't bore you with the details of how I did it, but I thought you may enjoy these pretty pictures.  And yes, they smell as good as they look!

Sephora Haul | Black Friday 2014

All of the blogging catch up!  I snagged these on Black Friday for $12 per set ($10 in the US).  I love Sephora's Black Friday deals because they are a great way to try some new product minis, and stock up on your favourites for travel.  This year I did both!

Julep Mystery Box | Naughty or Nice December 2014

I will start of by saying that I am sorry about the state of these photos.  I took them in a rush on Christmas because I wanted to give about half of the box away to my 15 year old cousin.  She actually asked me if I had heard of Julep because she loved their polish.  So, I let her have three of the polishes from this box, and quite a haul from my dupe box!  All for a good cause.

Julep Mystery Box | The Diamond Mystery Box

I'll be honest, I am only really sharing this post because I am really proud of the GIF I made.  I have a lot of posts to catch up on, so rather than review my entire box I am just going to focus on the two limited edition polishes.

Ipsy | December 2014 Has Finally Arrived

I'm back!  I had an amazing amazing week in beautiful, sunny, warm Cuba!  And after spending some time unpacking and doing laundry I am back to the blog.  While I was away I received more boxes than I care to admit to.  My Ipsy bag was very late this month and actually only arrived in the week after Christmas.

As a Canadian I was pretty frustrated that despite advertising Bumble and Bumble products, no Canadians could receive them.  When I inquired as to why, I was told that this was because Bumble and Bumble's website does not ship to Canada and thus they didn't want to disappoint Canadians when we would be unable to order them.  Ummm....thanks?  Not like Sephora sells it here or anything... anywaysssssss I ended up with a Sexy Hair product that my cousin swears by, so all is not entirely lost.
