What I Got For Christmas 2014!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I had an amazing day with my family and I am very grateful for everything I received as gifts. The holidays are not about presents, but I thought I would show you what I received and recommend some things to you! Some of my favorite videos on YouTube and blogs that I enjoy reading are the What I Got For Christmas posts so here is what I received this Christmas.


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!:)

Stocking Stuffers.



The Christmas season is finally here! I am so excited for Christmas and I hope you are too. Christmas is in a few days and I'm sure that some of you have not completed your Christmas shopping. I know that I haven't. Here are some quick easy and affordable stocking stuffer ideas for any girls or women in your life who love things beauty and fashion.



The first thing that I think any girl would enjoy in their stocking is a body mist or a perfume. My favorites are from Bath & Body Works. This one is the travel size fragrance mist that fits perfectly into any stocking. They are very affordable and there are many fragrances to choose from.



Everyone needs clean hands so might as well include these cute mini hand sanitizers, also from Bath & Body Works, in their stocking. PocketBacs are such an easy and affordable item that everyone loves. There are many different fragrances to choose from. Around the holidays they are on sale for 5 for $5 so these are a great gift.


Everyone loves a good holiday mug! There are so many really cute festive ones this time of year. Mugs are an ideal gift for anyone. They fit well in your stocking and are very affordable. You can also get a gift set like this one with your favorite holiday treat inside that anyone will appreciate.


Where I live, it becomes very cold around the holidays. Something that I would include in someone's stocking would be a pair of cozy warm socks. No one can have too many of these. They are super cute, affordable and you can pretty much find them anywhere. Anyone would be happy to find a couple pairs of these in their stocking.



The last easy, simple and affordable stocking stuffer that I'm sure every girl will love is an eos lip balm. These lip balms are very moisturizing and leave your lips very soft. There are many different fun colors and flavors to choose from.

I hope you enjoyed a few of my stocking stuffer ideas. Everything that I mentioned is very affordable and easy to find. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I will talk to you next week about my Christmas Haul!:)

Winter & Holiday Essentials.



The winter weather has arrived and the holiday season is here! This is my favorite time of the year and I have many things that I would like to share with you. Here are my winter and holiday essentials that I will be using all season long.



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.
