Day 11 of The Ho Ho Holiday Box

Hey everyone! Ahh.. we are down to the last few days here. I am excited, but also a little crushed that this is all coming to an end. Mrs. P's Potions & Soak It! did such a good job. I mean, obviously the items are AMAZING, but the little poems are such fun, and the packaging.. just absolutely spoiled. Could not have asked for a better gift to myself for this year! And it reads: "It's the eleventh day of Christmas and what did you get? A dazzling nail polish, maybe the prettiest yet! Whether it's blue or it's white, it's sparkling and delightful It's sure to make you smile when the weather outside is frightful!" This is 'The Whether Outside is Frightful' - and it is a thermal polish, which a purely peppermint scent. Um, this is amazing! Oh, and it is a Ho Ho Holiday Box exclusive! YASSS! This is sosososo good - and it looks absolutely stunning. So tempted to slap it on right now.. I might just have to yet.. ohhh man! That is

Day 10 of The Ho Ho Holiday Box

Hey everyone! Here we go for day 10 of the Ho Ho Holiday Box by Mrs. P's Potions & Soak It! And it reads: "It's the tenth day of Christmas, ain't no lords a-leapin' Still so much do do, and there's no time for weepin'! You've planned and you've shopped, Santa knows how you've toiled Now take care of yours, keep those cuticles oiled!" This is one of Soak It!'s awesome cuticle oils - and it is in the limited edition scent of 'Santa's Pipe'.. hmm.. what could that mean scent-wise? Cherrywood, Raspberry, and tobacco.. hmm.. Ok.. this actually smells sososo good! I was not sold on the tobacco part, BUT, that cherrywood and raspberry are more so what I pick up scent-wise, then you have a hint of the tobacco to just some dim down the sweetness.. I really do quite like this scent. And now I am going to slather is all over my cuticles. If you want to nab some cuticle oil in this scent, or any of Tara's other

This is another limited edition scent.. and.. lemme tell you.. this is amazing! I love eggnog scented anything.. so.. this is basically a dream! And.. Tara's whipped body butter is literally my favourite lotion as of late. It is super nourishing and thick, yet it absorbs so fast. I actually slathered on a wealth when I was talking about my love of the scent, and was back in 3.685 seconds to finish typing up this post. That's fast! A little combo that I love.. I use her coffee scrub in the shower, then I slather on some of her whipped body butter ever.. my skin has never been silkier. Seriously. If you're in

Day 3 of the Ho Ho Holiday Box

Hey everyone! Today I bring you day 3 of the Ho Ho Holiday Box by Mrs. P's Potions & Soak It! Days 1 & 2 were exceptional, so I basically have high hopes for everyday, and I feel like I am not going to be disappointed! Also, the first three days had the little notes, so I am positive I will get them every day, and that excites me almost more than the products - almost . I uhhh.. got a little over zealous when opening this one.. and I destroyed the little note.. and.. that really makes me sad. BUT! I can still read it, so I am able to transcribe here: "It's the third day of Christmas, you're getting into the mood The lights and the parties and all that holiday food! Your festive clothes are on point, but you want your mani to match With this sparkly red polish, you'll be quite the catch!" And this is listed as a Ho Ho Holiday Box exclusive as well.. so.. YEX!

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing with you day 2 of the Ho Ho Holiday Box from Mrs. P's Potions & Soak It! And it reads: "It's the second day of Christmas, you're looking forward to a break These days you need a shower just to keep you awake. A shower steamer will ensure that your eyes won't droop 'Cuz it's scented with some pine-y Reindeer Poop!" Annnd this one is a HoHoHoliday Box exclusive! I am terrible at describing scents, but this definitely has that wonderful pine-esque scent. I am a nighttime shower-er, and this definitely has a zingy 'hey, you're going to be awake!' scent vibe to it. I am just really excited about the whole shower steamer movement - I am 99/100 times going to take a shower over a bath, but I want cool things for the shower - this is just fantastic to me. It says I can probably get 2 uses out of it. I shall make this little bad boy count! You can scope out the array of shower steamers by clic

HoHoHoliday Box by Mrs. P's Potions & Soak It!

Hey everyone! Just a quick post to share with you another holiday type advent box I literally received in the mail this afternoon (I know.. mail delivered on a Sunday?! Win!) I was so excited to get my mitts on one of these boxes during the sale.. I believe there were 20 or 24 created.. so.. again, the excitement is real!! The opening started today, the 13th, and will continue until Christmas. I am super stoked about this because I already love all the products from Tara, who runs Soak It! and I was pumped to try items from Bree, who runs Mrs. P's Products (have always heard rad things, just never gave it a go!) Shall we get on to the overview of the package and day 1?! Now.. the package it arrived in was beautifully wrapped - but I was a complete savage and tore in to it immediately. Ok.. so.. can I just say that I am loving that each day is individually wrapped - and so nicely, at that. Like.. I feel so magical just looking at these. The time and effort is clearly

December 6-12 GLADvent Calendar Goodies

Hey everyone! Today I bring you some more of my GLADvent calendar goodies. Shall we look at the goods all together, then break them down? Yes, splendid idea! Ahh just looking at this spread of awesomeness is making my heart smile! Let's have a little chit-chat about the beauts before your eyes.  Day 6 - YASSSS! Finally a mani bomb! Each day last week I was did a mini-chant of 'manibombmanibombmanibomb' in my head.. and I mean, I am not complaining about the items from last week.. but this was a great kick off to the week ahead!  Day 7 - a dangly snowflake charm for the bracelet. At first, I was all amped thinking it was a star.. then I saw that it was a snowflake, and I was suddenly even more excited. I just like snowflakes, ok. Not snow, but the individual flakes I am cool with.  Day 8 - a crystal nail file - my favourite type of file.. going straight to my purse!  Day 9 - YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!! MORE CUTICLE OIL! Gingerbread Latte.. be still my sweet baby

December 1-5 GLADvent Calendar

Hey everyone! As promised, here is a run down of my advent gifts for December 1-5.. If you have no idea what I am talking about, please visit this post HERE .  Day 1: A lovely bracelet with an orange-y red butterfly printed bead.. It was mentioned that there was going to be a bracelet with some charms tossed in along the way.. Very cute! It looked so tiny, I didn't think it would first around my wrist.. but it does.. with a wealth of slack. Thank you dainty wrists!  Day 2: The cutest-miniest-sweetest little baby roller ball of Cranberry Sugar.. cuticle oil.. At least I am assuming it is cuticle oil. That is what I used it as.. if it is a roller ball of perfume.. well.. at least my mitts will smell amazing! The scent is really sweet, which I love. It reminds me of making Kool-Aid as a child. Good times! Day 3: a bead to join the bracelet - it is an intense abstract design with a multitude of colours. I like it. On to the bracelet is goes! Day 4: Cat.. tattoos? I be

First Day of December Mani

Hey everyone! Just a super quick post for today.. and I mean, technically I was sporting these yesterday, but today is December 1st, so I am just counting it as a planned-for-today mani. Please? I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Essie Virgin Snow Polished For Days Leaf It To Me OPI Alpine Snow Detail Brush Dotting Tool Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I did use a few vinyls on my thumb, but I didn't realize that I still had a smidge of makeup on my thumbnail - even after vigorously washing my hands (apparently this foundation is actually long wearing..) - I feel like this is a mani that I like better in real life.. here I just see so many flaws, but I still like it! And both of these polish were on my untried rack - really glad I paired them together! See you all again soon!
