december!

Now that it’s December (how fast this year has gone!) it’s time to bust out that glorious advent calendar and start munching on the chocolate.

Usually I just pick up the $2 choco calendar at Trader Joe’s.

1) Because it’s cheap.

2) Because who doesn’t want to pop some cocoa in their mouth each morning?

But, I do think this advent calendar from Pottery Barn is particularly adorable. You could totally get creative with this one and toss in some fun mini-gifts in each pocket. And some chocolate too, of course.

‘Tis the season!!

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Necklaces for Her…

So I know I’ve already posted about a necklace idea a few days ago, but recently I’ve been browsing Etsy for more fun jewlery for holiday gift giving. There are sooo many fun and adorable necklaces out there how will I ever tell about them all. Obviously you can do your own searching, but here are some more necklaces I think are just peachy:

Timber and Crochet Bead Necklace by UnJardinDeHilo

Blooming Rose Necklace by LuvPeuDeChose


Necklaces by LaVieJaTunTun

Olivene’s Lady Cap Necklace by OctaviaBloom

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!

We’re celebrating right here at my apartment this year, which is really nice and relaxing and I’m thankful for that! I watched the parade this morning in my PJ’s and with a hot cup of coffee. Then I set to work making the celery root and apple puree. I taste tested it about an hour ago and it is DELICIOUS! I’ve been taking spoonfuls here and there when no one is looking. Hopefully there will still be some left for the feast.

I am thankful for oh so many things this year. For my family and friends, my wonderful new job, being able to keep in touch and have great times with the people closest to me, and finally finishing up my masters in just a few short weeks!

I hope you have a super Thanksgiving!

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: GLEE Christmas

This album is SO GOOD!!!!

It will make you smile and will make your heart happy. It will also make you want to sing along! I think this would be a great stocking stuffer or secret santa gift.

The songs of the season you love sung by the Glee Club.

Good times, great singing.

Enjoy!
