Hmm, where to begin? So, I told myself I would come off hiatus in February and I really need too. When i'm on hiatus I get extremely lazy about blogging and that's not good. I have albums of pictures on my photobucket of stuff to blog about and I'm trying to decide how to do it or what order. I want to get some of the old stuff out the way. So, I decided I'd go ahead and post about my Christmas/New Years. I really didn't do anything for New Years. I volunteered to babysit my brother and nephew. Mostly because my sister went out for New Years and I hadn't seen my little brother in forever! We played on his PS3, watched Netflix and ate pizza and the hottest hot wings in the world!
This was actually us the next morning, by then I was ready for the to go home! Happy 2013!
These are seriously the only real pictures I took from New Years Eve/New Years Day. So onto the real fun, which was Christmas! I realize I posted about these backwards, but New Years was short so I decided to get it out of the way.
What I looked like at the beginning of the day.

Now for random pictures throughout the night.
Now to move on, this post is already too long. Onto the Christmas haul, gets, whatever you want to call it.
Let's start with my stocking first!
Stocking Haul!
Me & and my stocking. I used the same stocking my aunt bought me last year, because it has an A on it and it's green! Onto the goodies!
All my stuff, about 70% of that I bought for myself, so of course I love it!
The obligatory candy. It can't be Christmas without Chocolate. This is what survived from me eating some leading up to Christmas.
Makeup! KleanColour eyeshadow palette(I probably spelled KC wrong.), 2 L'Oreal color match foundations, a pair of eyelashes(I got two, but I was wearing a pair during the party) and an E.L.F lipgloss!
Body Items! I only bought the Carmex. My sister got me the shower gel in peppermint and B&BW lotion in Country Chic and the little fishie is actually soap! Cool right?
Nail Polishes! I bought my sister and myself some KC polishes and she got us some of the Fergie polishes from her job. I love the two sparkly KC ones and their names: Golden Nirvana and Chunky Holo Clover! They're both soo pretty.
Miscellaneous! My headband a mirror(much needed!) a beautiful jeweled brush and a lollipop made out of hair scrunchies.
Pictures showing how the headband changes images!
Jewelry! Lastly, some super cute rings! A pair of scissors ring and 2 Hello Kitty rings.
So, I got some amazing stuff in my stocking, but onto my gifts.
Christmas Gifts Haul!
My wrapped gifts. I had already opened the Macy's gift before I took the pictures.
Gifts unwrapped!
I got a box of French Truffles and a super cute camera bag from my mum. I loved both. I still have a bag of truffles left, they we're 2.2lbs and I use the bag to carry my camera everywhere.
Adventure Time wallet from Christina! Seriously, this is probably my favourite gift. I'm a hardcore Adventure Time fan and you can never go wrong with a gift from Hot Topic!
A gorgeous necklace from my Aunt! It's soo pretty. She always buys me jewelry. She was the one who bought me my first Betsey Johnson necklace and I'm hooked. This is soo pretty. She always gets the best gifts.
My gift from Eleanor. A pair of Tripp jeans, a gorgeous shirt and my new favourite T-Shirt all from Torrid and the Katy Perry, Purr, fragrance set. I am a huge Katy Perry fan. I love that woman and this set is amazing. It's shower gel, shimmering bod lotion(not very shimmery, though) and the perfume.
Lastly, my gift from my older sister Ericka! I actually picked this out myself. I went to her store where she works and told her to buy it for me for Christmas and I love him. He sits on my bed. Don't judge my admiration for Yo Gabba Gabba!
This was my last gift, from my other aunt. She had got it there late and it was one of my favourites. I always love makeup and I love using the color concept makeup. It's inexpensive and still as good as any other brand. The set came with eyeshadows, lipglosses, an interchangeable palette, lip liners, lipsticks, a sharpener and a brush and then it came with 4 gorgeous nail polishes, a file, 2 design nail polishes, heart stencils, a toe separator, some other tools and(my favourite) a wheel full of nail decals, plus a designs inspiration book.
So, all in all Christmas was pretty fun and very eventful. Lastly, I'll share these two pics I forgot from New Years Eve of Little Brother & my nephew! I was trying tot each them how to hula hoop together. I guess the height difference wasn't letting that workout.
Au Revoir!
