Sunday Surprise!!

For those of you who know me personally, you know 
that my birthday is this Tuesday. However, my little brother 
stayed over my house this weekend so he that he could be fitted 
for his tux for my wedding in June. 

Being that my little brother's birthday is Wednesday. 
Ray (my boyfriend) thought it would be a great idea to surprise me with a 
cake (and for my brother brownies he hates cake) and presents!! 


Yes, I love the poorly drawn butterflies all over my cake!! 
I also received some great presents just to name a few I got
cupcake ornaments for my Christmas tree, A Hello Kitty umbrella, the best 
softest, cutest slippers I have ever seen. Season 2 of one of my favorite shows "Modern Family"

My First Christmas Tree!! Yay!!

This year I decided to put up a Christmas Tree. I 
have always avoided this in the past saying I don't have children and 
I will do it after we are married. Well this year something changed I feel very 
Christmas-ey (if that's a word). 

First I hung our stockings Rays, Mine and my doggies of course!!

Next I hung up my poinsettia wreath. 
Don't you love it?


Then I made center pieces one for my living room and 
one for my bathroom. This well be replacing my usually bathroom
potpourri for the next month.
(This is the one in the bathroom.)

My nativity set. I love it!! 
I know it's small, there are no wise men, but it's okay
my tree isn't that big!!

My Favorite ornament!! 
I love Cinderella!!
(I thought I took a picture of this turns out I took
a movie, I got a new phone this week and I am 
not yet good at using it. So this picture is off the 
Disney website)

And Finally now for my Christmas Tree!!! 
And Yes, that is my sister and I in the picture,
I am the older one in case you were
wondering!!


Have you put up your Christmas Tree yet? 

A Christmas Bonus:
Madison!!

Become a Julep Maven!!


I had recently come across a program called Julep Maven for all 
the nail polish lovers out there. 

It's simple just 3 easy steps.
1st: You take the Julep Style quiz. 
2nd: Find out which Maven you are and see your sneak peek box
3rd: Create your profile and order your box.

Woohoo now You are a Julep Maven!!

I received my into box about 1 week after I signed up.
Here is what was inside:

A full sized Facial for hands.

Two nail Polishes.


Reese: A pretty Barbie pink.


And Alfre: A purplish/silver

These polishes are amazing!! Both of these swatches were 
only one coat of nail color. 

And the best part is I got this deal for 5 dollars.
Each of these polishes retail for $14.00 each. 

After the starter kit you will receive a box each month for $19.99
However, the email you wants in your box a week before
you then get to decide if you want a different box
or to skip that month all together. 
You can also cancel at anytime!!!

So what do you think LOVE it or HATE it??
