Hauls Upon Hauls: Part 1, Christmas!

This is going to be a three part Haul series detailing everything I have received or bought from my Birthday on December 15th to just lately!

From Co-Workers
  • Beautiful Day Lotion from Bath and Body Works
  • Christmas Earrings
  • Candle from Walmart - I had actually looked at buying this, so I am happy I got it!
  • Snowman socks from Walmart and Earwarmers from Walmart both of which aren't pictured only because I couldn't find them... but I do like them!


From Maze (boyfriend :)
  • Two Minion Cups - I love minis, but I am still a little baffled as to why I needed two… ;)
  • Toy Story Socks
  • Tinkerbell Sticker - You can’t really see it well, but I promise it is cute!
  • Frozen patterned Heating pad - His mom got this for me, and he is still completely baffled as to why this was my favorite present from him! ;)
  • Minion Peeps!


From Kaitlyn (aka my best friend ever!)
  • Oahu Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - I have the rest of the set, and this completes it!
  • Green and Purple Box - This might seem kind of odd, but I love little pointless boxes and bags :)

and I filled it with my love notes and paper bird from Maze :)
  • Cupcake Cook Book - It is amazing there are still ones I do not have…


Neighbors (who we have basically adopted as part of our family)

  • Makeup set
  • Wet n’ Wild Nail Polish set
  • Minnie Mouse Mug and Warmer - So Cute!
  • Febreeze Candle
  • Slipper Socks
  • Battery Operated Tealights
  • Cupcake Wall Hanger - She says for my dorm, I say for right now!
  • Two Faded Glory Scarves from Walmart


Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins

  • Lace Cardigan
  • Cupcake Book - When I got this, I started looking through it and saw a whole section on how to make faces on cupcakes! I yell out “This book shows you how to make people!” Because my family is very sarcastic and goofy, the book was was immediately taken and inspected.  My cousin says “I always told you not to make people!”


From Grandparents (Both sets)

  • Purple Colombia Coat
  • Purple Boot Socks
  • Purple Lace Scarf - I think she thinks I like purple… ;)
  • Orange and Brown Scarf
  • Vanilla Bean Noel Perfume from Bath and Body Works
  • Vanilla Bean Noel Lotion from Bath and Body Works


From “Santa”!

  • Brown Boot Socks
  • Planner from PlumPaperDesigns on Etsy - This is not pictured, because it actually has not come yet… When it finally comes and I start using it, I will do a while post on it :)
  • Camera Set - I wasn’t so sure what i though about this at first to tell the truth. It seemed like a really nice camera that came with a bag and everything, but I hadn’t asked for one, and when I take pictures I usually just use Mom’s amazing camera! So I had really considered returning it, and putting the money towards a new laptop for college, but i decided to try it out first.  I took it to a Carolina Basketball game, and then am using it now, but I’m still not completely settled on it! What do you all think?
  • Stuffed Simba :)
  • Earbuds - Desperately needed new ones, pictured in Simba's ears :)
  • Brown Boot Socks
  • Snackeze from AsSeenOnTV - I really couldn’t figure out why I got this, and then I used it, and I was sold :)
  • Maleficent DVD - Love this movie!
  • Cupcake Towels and Oven Mitt Set - Going in my hope chest for my future house :)
  • Love Comes Softly Series, final two movies
  • Message/NIV Bible - I know a lot of people don’t agree with different translations of the Bible, and even after specifically picking this one out and reading in it I’m still not sure I do! But as a study tool, it is the most useful thing I have ever had!
  • Pink Pepper Spray - Present from daddy :)
  • Home Free CD - If you have never heard of them you need to go find them!! They are an all men, country a cappella group! (Not pictured because it is in my car and it is snowing outside at the moment! :O)

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter!  On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over.  Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling!  And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process.  So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...)  Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night.  ...

Ipsy: June

My June Ipsy bag!   Probably my least favorite part of this bag... was the actual bag.  It's quite ugly, but the products are good for the most part! This Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Secret is ok… It’s a nice brand, so I’m not mad at it, it just isn't my favorite.  I put it on and it had almost a concealer like tint instead of the pretty pinky nude in the tube.  I have used it since and if used with a lighter hand, it's ok. I love this Formula X nail polish by Sephora in Wingwoman!  It is such a nice dark pink/red color, and it didn't chip!  Do you know how hard it is to find a nail polish that doest chip on me? This Three Tone "Bronzer" by Crown Brush is ridiculous... It looks like little kids play makeup.  It has a strip of bronze, a strip of pink, and one of a "highlight," and as soon as I took it out of he box the packaging fell apart.  I didn't even bother trying it, I just listed it on a swap website. But t...

Last Minute Present: Oven Mitt

This is a super easy (and cheap) present that someone who loves baking or cooking would adore!  I received this as a gift last year and I was so excited!  To top it all off, this present couldn't get any easier, and it could be made for under $10 but is very versatile and can be made as elaborate or simple as you want!   So the basics, you are going to need an oven mitt to put the whole present in, and then a few tools to solidify the cooking theme.  I know for a fact the mitt, as well as the tools below, came from Walmart and can be snagged super cheap. Then you need to fill it with candy and food!  In mine she added chocolate chip cookie mix, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes.  Super simple right?  And definitely something you could run to Walmart right now and put together.  Like I said before, there are many variations you could do with this present!  My mom has a wood burning tool and can burn designs into wooden...
