All That Glistens

The first thing that I received was Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I was so excited when I opened this up! Zoe is one of my favorite bloggers that I love to read, so I am thrilled that I can read a story that she wrote. The front cover is beautiful and it is a hard cover book. I can't wait to read this!

This Christmas my parents were so thoughtful and gave me a new bag that I will use for my figure skating and new running shoes! These two items are both from Nike and are both so nice. The shoes are the Nike Free in a gorgeous turquoise color. They are very comfortable and amazing for running and working out. 

I always seem to need a travel bag for everyday use. The one that I have received is a Nike bag in this really nice black and white pattern. This bag is great to keep my skates in, due to the fact that it is not too big and not too small.

These next few things are gifts that I received in my stocking from Santa. I was so excited to open up the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser and the Ultra Repair Cream. I hear about so many people who love these products and I can't wait to try them out. I also got the Butter London nail polish in the color Cuppa. This is a gorgeous neutral shade that I will be trying out soon. Another product that was in my stocking was the philosophy bubble bath in the scent Raspberry Sorbet. This product smells amazing! I was so happy when I received this because it serves as a bubble bath, shower gel and a shampoo! In my stocking I also received some yummy chocolates and candy.

Something that was on my wish list this year was a Polaroid camera. I've seen a lot of people having fun with this and taking so many cute pictures. I was thrilled when I opened up the Instax mini 8 in the color pink from my grandparents. I can't wait to take pictures with my friends!:)

This Christmas my parents gave me this super cozy sweater from American Eagle. I love the color and the design of this. It is super soft and I can see myself wearing this a lot this New Year. I definitely recommend you go pick this up.

My little brother was really sweet and gave me these pretty pillows for my bed. They are white with gold sparkles and they match my room perfectly. I was in need of some decor pillows so I was excited when I opened these up!

These last two things are really nice clothing items my parents gave me this year. I received a Lulu Lemon long sleeved shirt that is perfect to wear for my skating. I always need some comfortable tops to wear on the ice. This one is a beautiful blue color. They also gave me some black Adidas leggings. They are very comfortable and warm. I really like these pants because they have a draw string at the top like sweat pants.

I am so grateful for everything I received this year. My family definitely spoiled me! I love everything that I received. I had an amazing Christmas and I hope you did too! Please leave comments down below telling me what you got this Christmas! Make sure you come back tomorrow because I am putting up a New Years post!:)

The first thing that is absolutely essential for the colder weather is a pair of cozy warm slippers. Slippers or fuzzy socks are amazing to keep you warm and they also look cute. My favorite ones are these fuzzy polar bear slippers from Bath and Body Works.

During the holidays and long winter months, candles are always burning in my house. These festive candles from Bath and Body Works make your house feel and smell like the holidays and they are also an amazing decoration.

In the colder months the air is dryer which leads to dry lips! One of my winter essentials is to have a very good lip moisturizer. A favorite of mine is the Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose. This keeps my lips moisturized and feeling soft.

A must have for the holidays are some yummy treats. The holidays are the only time where you can spoil yourself, so you might as well take advantage of it. My favorite holiday treats are the Pillsbury holiday cookies! These taste amazing and look super festive.

Sparkly nails are another of my holiday essentials. I love having these festive colors on my nails this time of year. They are so fun and perfect for the holidays. These are two of my favorites this year by Sally Hansen and Love & Beauty by Forever 21.

Colder weather requires nice warm baths! Bath bombs are absolutely an essential for the holiday and colder months. My favorite ones to use are from Lush. They leave you moisturized and smelling great. If you would like to see all my Lush favorites, go check out one of my past posts titled  Lush Favorites.

My last winter and holiday essential is hot chocolate! Almost everyone enjoys a hot drink during colder weather and my personal favorite is hot chocolate. I also enjoy all of the festive holiday mugs that come out this time of year.

I hope you all enjoyed my Winter and Holiday Essentials and you are as excited for the holidays as I am! I'll talk to you soon with another holiday inspired post.

These two first products I love to use all year round. They are the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and the Moisturizing Lotion. Cetaphil is a great skincare brand that is great for all skin types. Their products are very safe for your skin and are dermatologist recommended. I use the cleanser and moisturizer both day and night everyday. Both these products leave my skin feeling very clean and moisturized. I recommend you use them together.

The Clean & Clear Morning Burst Purifying Facial Cleanser is a great cleanser that I use every morning. It is a very gentle cleanser with small blue beads inside that leaves your skin feeling amazing! Whenever I use this cleanser in the morning, it wakes me up and gets me ready for the day.

The Garnier Pure Control Brusher is a great product that I use every night. This product is very unique! In the bottle has a great cleanser that eliminates acne and leaves your skin very soft. As you squeeze the bottle, the cleanser comes out and goes onto the brush. You then gently scrub your face with the brush and then wash the product off. I love using this product not only because it works, but also because it's fun.

The last two products that I love to use occasionally are the Freeman Feeling Beautiful masks. The first one is the Facial Peel-Off Cucumber Mask. This mask is great to use whenever you have a bit of time to wait for it to dry and then gently peel off. I also like to use the Facial Anti-Stress Dead Sea Minerals Mask. Leave this mask on for about ten minutes and then take off with warm water.  Both of these masks smell great and feel amazing.

I hope you liked my fall skincare items and that it was helpful!:)

You can find these items at your local drugstore, Target or Walmart.

Every Fall season I really enjoy burning candles in my room. This year I have been 

loving a few from Bath & Body Works. 

This candle is the three wick candle from Bath & Body Works named Sweater Weather. I LOVE this candle for the autumn season. It has an amazing scent that honestly 

smells like Fall. I like burning this candle in my room not only for the scent, but also for the way it looks. If you want to decorate your house for the Autumn season, just place a few candles throughout your home:)

The next candle that I have been loving is another three wick candle from Bath & Body Works named Pumpkin Caramel Latte. This candle smells DELICIOUS in my room. My house smells like a coffee shop when I'm burning it!:) The packaging for this is really cute so I love having it placed in my room.

I have also been really enjoying the mini candles from Bath & Body Works. The ones I have are from the Fall 2013 collection, therefore the packaging is out of date. The three fragrances that I have are Pumpkin Carving, Leaves, and Pumpkin Caramel Latte. These candles are good to have if you still want that Autumn smell throughout your home but don't want a too strong of a scent from the three wick candles. I think these candles are really cute and great to have.
