….Thanksgiving

I hate Thanksgiving. Not the actual act of giving thanks. That, I think is important to do on a regular basis. However, this particular holiday is quite the depression inducer. Luckily, I have loads to be thankful for, so it’s easy to snap out of it.

I do miss my grandmother more on this day than any other in the year. Thanksgiving holidays in my family used to be something really special…loud, festive and warm family gatherings that I’d actually look forward to it…but it seems that now that all of us kids have grown up and moved all over the country, it’s more difficult for everyone to connect…so it usually only happens at Christmas (which after my birthday, is my absolute favorite holiday…and yes, my birthday is in fact a national holiday ).

At any rate I hope that you and your loved ones have a great holiday, and thank you for taking the time out to read my blog. I really do appreciate you, and am happy you stopped by. Have a safe and wonderful rest of fall!

Sephora Skincare Kit

With my recent Sephora haul, I picked up the 500 point perk, and I have to say, in my opinion, it’s the best one I’ve ever had.

The samples are small, but the thing about skincare samples it that they usually last a good while. I’m most excited about the Lancôme Genifique. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now…samples only. I’ve never actually had a need to buy a bottle. The Dr. Brandt looks promising too.

Reviews to come! Have you tried any of these products before? Thoughts? Opinions? Did you get this set?

Chanel + Sephora haul

Not too long ago, Sephora had their annual friends and family sale where they offered 20% off everything online. Then a few weeks later, I received a beautiful invitation and discount code for their VIB sale, which offered another 20% off that could be used in store, as well as online.

I tried not to go crazy, and I think I did OK. I only got a few things that I had been eying for a while, and replenished some things that I was almost out of.

I only got one thing from the friends and family sale (the Dior Mitza Quint) so I just threw it in with everything else.

Then from Chanel,

I picked up Pirate nail polish, and their limited edition lash curler.

I’m excited to play in it all, and test it out. Reviews and comparisons to come! I’d love to hear if you got any goodies from either of the sales!

In the meantime, I shall talk to you in the next one!
