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)

Homemade Beauty... Banana Sugar Body Scrub

You will need... 1 ripe banana 3 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional) Smash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky goop, but don't over-mash or it will become too thin to use. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar. In the shower, pat the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water. Credit to  http://www.treehugger.com/organic-beauty/8-homemade-salt-and-sugar-body-scrubs.html

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

So you could buy the expensive (and pointless) makeup brush cleaner from insanely expensive makeup companies (MAC!), oooooor you can make your own! :) You will need: dish soap or  Johnson's Baby Shampoo olive oil a plate water  paper towels or a dish towel  dirty, dirty, DIRTY makeup brushes The soap is going to remove the bacteria, grease, and color left on your brushes while the olive oil helps to condition the brush bristles and keep them from drying out. First , add equal parts of the oil and soap onto a plate. Start with about a teaspoon of each, then add more as you go along, if needed.  Next , swirl your dirty brush in the mixture. You will see all the leftover makeup start to flush itself out of the brush.  After you’ve swirled it around for 10 seconds or so, rinse the brush in lukewarm water to get all of the soap out. Continue to rinse until the water runs clear and the brush is no longer soapy. **Make sure not t...
