So! I was able to get some Christmas shopping done, but I wasn't able to resist some good deals. GAH! It's the junkie in me! BUT! I got a bonus at work so I deserve some goodies! Right? Ookay so my sis in law, Patricia, raved about Tea Tree Lavender Mint Shampoo/Conditioner. Soooo, while I was at the NEX, I had to check it out. Dang it, Trish! PUHAHA! Oh well, I LOVE IT! It definitely has that cooling/soothing feeling and it smells soo good and it just helps you wind down. I know the husby is freaking out a a bit cause I have way too many s/c in the bathroom. When he takes a shower, I can hear all the s/c's falling on the floor when he reaches for one. PUAHAH! EEKS!
Oookay, call me crazy but I wasn't too satisfied with my DiorShow Mascara. The last time I was at Sephora, I got Smokey Lash as a deluxe sample. Then, I noticed myself reaching for Smokey Lash over DiorShow. So at Sephora, I returned my DiorShow and purchased Smokey Lash instead. THEN! Since Sephora sent me a coupon via email, I had to use it! $15 off your purchase over $35. Soooo, I took advantage and purchased a NARS Luminizer. Now, here's where I'm bummed. I swatched, and I found the one I liked, well a couple. =). So the testers at Sephora have their little placeholder with the names of testers, well some dumb broad must have tested and didn't put it back in the right place. When I opened the package at home, it was the wrong color!!! GAH! I tried it, it was alright, but I prefer the one I wanted. Soooo, note to self: Look at the bottom of the product for the name, not the placeholder tester. Stupid me...

As for Saturday, me and the husby were complete bums! We just wanted to stay home. He wasn't feeling that great anyway. So, we loafed all day, and hung out in sweats and tees. It was sooo nice just to relax. We have been sooo busy running a muck the days before. I also wrapped presents, take a looky. I loooovvveee wrapping presents! It puts me in a good mood.
Oh yeah! One more thing! Look at what my friend Kim got me! I love her! PUAHAHA! But it definitely pays to have friends in the biz! She knows how much of a feen I am for hair products, so she calms my cravings.

Oookay, I've spent some time on this blog. Time to get ready to head to my parent's house. I'm going to help my momma decorate her tree. WOO! OooOH I can't wait till me and the husby get our own tree!!
Have a lovely day!

wow. you and your husband are troopers...ruben and i went to the mall and we barely got anything since there were so many people. the long lines and the cluttered stores were really discouraging. i'm looking forward to cyber monday though!!
ps. the bf told me about GB...sorry, i was the reason he was out of town. haha. next time??
I think it's so cute how you call your husband "husby" that just makes so much more sense than "hubby"! You're clever. And I want all those presents!!
We did major grocery shopping that day so that's why we didn't make it out there. Had to manage the funds. lol. anywho...we should invest in those in shower rack things that you can put in the corner of the shower. I had one at our old place it came in handy. Ronnie complains about all my stuff too...haha! Especially when they fall on his feet. lol! I'm glad you love the s&c. =) Ronnie has duty tomorrow and I have it on Friday so I guess any day between then or next weekend we can help you guys get your tree. =)
aw girl! The husband and I went shopping 12am and did not finish til 1:30 in the afternoon. I had no sleep, I was hallucinating already! hahah!
We're almost done with the christmas shopping for the family :) I did not buy any make up stuff. hahah! :p
hey woman, hope you had a great thanksgiving!
gahhhhd i used to like wrapping presents but now i'm not so into it. i don't mind the little stuff but when it's just too much to wrap i get super lazy. i'ma start paying you to wrap my presents for me. hahaha (;
thanks for the cibu notification! i've been curious about it for quite some time now :P
Hey Jen--
I got into jewelry when I was a junior in high school actually-- i took a trip to CA where my cousin designs jewelry, and she taught me. I learned a bunch of stuff, and will post them for fun randomly :)
I'm a senior in college now btw..and I live in snowy Michigan!
Oh wait! Forget what I said earlier... I did buy something makeup-related this weekend! HAHA. I went to the NEX with my sister on Friday & got another tube of Shiseido mascara base. But besides that, I was very good. :)
I missed out on Gordon Biersch Friday night. Sucks because I wanted to see everyone again - especially the New Yorkers who came back in town *ahemWillConluahem* I just wasn't feeling well that night. :( Oh well, next time!
I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I ate too much. I've started wrapping some gifts too. I'd like to thank you for inspiring me to get my Christmas shopping done early. I've still got a lot left to get, but hopefully I won't be overwhelmed like I have in past years! Nice haul too. That Mint shampoo sounds lovely!
K, ending this novel of a comment now.
Yeah been so busy buying gifts for the family & relatives. We bought 1 each on every family member and we have like 6 families!! OMgah! so much money spent :( I'm soo broke! :(
Anywho, I have $15 off sephora too. I'm thinking of getting another Nars Blush :p
So far i am loving my contour palette! You got some great haul on ur Cibu, tell us how you like it. And you already wrap Christmas presents already>>??? WOW I havent even shop yet. LOL, I wish i was like you!
i love wrapping gifts too and it's true that it does put you in a good mood. I totally agree! Are you a military spouse too?
