My holiday party was an awesome success! All my old high school friends showed up, and some of my friend’s friends from college showed up. My friend Ariel, who loves to cook and make awesome drinks, came prepared. She bought two bottles of red wine and all the ingredients to make this hot drink called Gluehwein, and brought spiked hot apple cider. Gluehwein is a German/Austrian holiday drink that is served warm as an after ski drink. She got the recipe from allrecipes.com here. Earlier, I also purchased a bottle of Atmosphere extra brut sparkling rose and two bottles of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne. Ariel also brought tons of dumplings and even a pie!

Fabletics Clothing
So I got my first Fabletics outfit today in the mail. I’m very pleasantly surprised. I buy a lot of Lululemon and Nike fitness wear, and I didn’t know if I should go with a brand I don’t know. But I am impressed with Fabletics so far. The fit of their clothing is great, and […]

Fab Fit Fun Subscription Box 2nd Box
This is actually my second box I’ve gotten from Fab Fit Fun, but the first one was so disappointing not only did I not post anything about it, but I also canceled my subscription after just one box. However, their customer service team contacted me to tell me that the second box had already been […]
Presents!!
So, getting to the holiday party last night was disaster because of Santa Con and the protests happening in the city, but we eventually got there to see my brother and nephews and other relatives. While my nephews had fun playing with their Legos and remote control cars, my brother made latkes and we all […]
Holiday Party Makeup
Tonight I’m going to a family holiday party! I’m wearing a chunky warm sweater from Intermix, and regular jeans from Levis. My family’s parties are pretty casual, so I didn’t want to over do my makeup. I’m wearing blends of brown Mac eyeshadow and nude Narz eyeshadow. To make up for the bland colors, I […]

Sephora Lipstick Sample Bag
I may have been doing some Instagramming, but I know I haven’t done a blog post in a long time, and I apologize. Anyway, as I was buying gifts for friends and family at Sephora (I will not be listing the gifts I bought for obvious reasons!) I used a coupon code for beauty insiders […]
