Five on Friday - December 29, 2023 ~ Merry Christmas, Christmas Gifts, Journalling Pens, FBOY Island, and End of Year Declutter

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all have had a great Christmas and an amazing week! 

ONE 

The gifts I showed were from family and friends

I hope you all have a great Christmas - here is my lovely family and me at Christmas dinner! We are all getting over a cold/flu so it was a little rough leading up to the holidays, but we hosted dinner and I loved having everyone over! 

Manicure Monday - Shimmery Snowman Nails

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! 

The China Glaze polishes were received as PR samples

It's December and the countdown is on to Christmas - I'm getting so excited! And, the #CBBxManiMonday always does a whole month of Christmas nails - I always love seeing what we come up with for our holiday nails! 

Beauty Gifts Sets/Stocking Stuffers That Caught My Eye

One of my favourite things about the holidays is all the great beauty sets that come out (I love minis and think these sets are always a good way to try new things from brands without buying a full sized item!)

The Belif and Florence by Mils sets were received as PR samples

So, naturally I dig through a whole bunch of sets and pick up a few that I are exciting to me - mini size for a good price, great value, good selection of products, etc. For me, I'm most interested in getting a variety of products and so that's what I tend to look for! 

Five on Friday - December 15, 2023 ~ Beartown Trilogy Book Reviews, Pantone Colour of the Year - Peach Fuzz, Meeting the Grinch, Bookshops and Bonedust Pre-order, and McDonalds Adult Happy Meals

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a great week! It's been a lost cause of a week here - my little guy has been sick since the weekend so we've been in survival mode for the week, and I thought I was on track for Christmas prep and now I haven't sent out cards or wrapped anything and I'm feeling a little rushed!

I purchased everything in this post

If you would have told me at the start of the year that a trilogy of hockey books would be some of my favourite books of the year, I would have laughed, but I cannot sing enough praise about the Beartown series that includes Beartown, Us Against You and The Winners by Fredrik Backman. Of course, these are much more than a book about hockey - its about the characters, choices we make, how we respond to crisis, friendships, family, love, toxic masculinity, violence, everything is touched on in these books and handled so well - Fredrik Backman is a master with words and these books were so impactful. 

Manicure Monday - Candy Cane Striped Nails

Happy Manicure Monday - I hope you all had a great weekend! (We were at home with a sick boy, so it's been a long weekend here!)
