Themed Presents: Truffles All Around!

I know I have mentioned this to you all before, but I love giving presents.
I love giving presents even more when they are themed!  Something seems just so pretty and put together when presents are all cohesive around one theme.
Therefore, this year I thought it might be fun to have a little mini series in preparation for Christmas of some super cute themed presents

And my first one is...
Truffles
Because who doesn't like truffles?
For this present I chose a combination of bath products called "Tub Truffles", and chocolate truffles!

The tub truffles are a bath melt, you place them in hot water and they begin to melt and flow through the water.  I ordered the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent, and they truly look and smell edible!  As they melt they release their scent, and make the water feel so soft and silky!  They are made from cocoa butter, so not only does the water feel amazing, so does your skin!  You can get them for $14.99-$15.99 on Alexis Clare's Etsy shop, Whipped Up Wonderful
If you prefer bath bombs or bubble bars (both of which I recently ordered!) she has a wide selection of those, as well as perfume, face masks, "bath macaroons," and much more.  She also offers a monthly bath bomb subscription service!  
Not only does this shop provide gorgeous products, she also has free shipping, wonderful (and fast!) customer service, and a beautiful Christian attitude.  We spoke recently, and she was generous enough to provide a coupon code just for you all!  Enter "SAWYOUONTHEWEB" at checkout and you will receive 10% off your entire order!  But here is the catch, if you want to order this for someone for Christmas and insure it arrives in time you MUST order before December 7th!

For the chocolate truffle piece of the present, what you get really depends on how much you want to spend!  
You can go the route I have shown here and buy Lindor Truffles for $3 to $4 a bag.  
You can go more expensive with Godiva truffles and get a small four piece box for $10, a bag of assorted truffles for $12, a six piece flight for $16, twelve pieces for $30, twenty-four for $50, or a gift set that can range anywhere from $42 to the "Grand Holiday Luxury Basket" at $375!!  They are actually running a special right now where you can get a four, six, eight, nine, or nineteen piece set, with a $25 Godiva gift card for $33 to $55, which is a pretty great deal!
Finally, there is always the option of making truffles yourself!  My friend Anina, who did a guest blog post here of Saturday, has a recipe for red velvet cake balls similar to truffles that were amazing!  If you prefer the traditional chocolate route, search "homemade chocolate truffles on Google or Pinterest and you will be flooded with decadent results!
Chocolate truffles can get very expensive, very fast...  But, there are many options and it is completely up to you how much you have to spend.  A box of homemade truffles would be just as thoughtful as a $50 box!  


That being said, in my mind the perfect version of this gift would be a gift basket with a Holiday themed flight of truffles and a gift card, a box of tub truffles (and maybe a bath bomb or two...), and a bottle of champagne (or sparkling grape juice for those of us who can't drink!).  You could also fill it out by adding in a bath pouf, bubble bath, bath salts... the possibilities are endless!  
And this isn't just a "Christmas present," it would also be perfect for a Birthday, Anniversary, Wedding, or Valentines day! This is an absolutely gorgeous gift in general, and perfect to carry straight to the whirlpool tub for a ready made bath! 


Check out my first Christmas post of the year here, and check back often to see what other themed presents I have in store!

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it!  And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment!  This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together!   Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights.  They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad.  If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings.  They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy.  I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic.  This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I received

Three Ways to Christmas Shop on the Cheap

Christmas shopping is something a lot of us tend to put off until the last second, and then are scrambling the week before Christmas to buy things just because you feel like you have to.  You end up buying something, at exorbitant obnoxious prices, that you know the person you are buying for won’t even like! I came up with a few ways you can get awesome presents, not have to kill yourself trying to get them at the last minute, and not break the bank... My first suggestion, is to shop in advance!  I know, this seems super simple, but you wouldn't believe the difference it makes to start a couple months in advance, and just buy things you know the person would like as you see them.  This year, I stopped in an antique shop on my way to work one day, just to look around.  I ended up leaving with this gorgeous bowl, mug, and tea set with I am planning to give to family members, and because the place was about to close down, I got them for half off the original price!

Fab Ab February

So I have been big into working out lately, because who doesn't want to look their very best when vacation time comes! I found this workout calendar on Pinterest so I'm not able to give you the link to the exact website but I thought if you liked it enough you could copy, or print it out. I have been looking for the rest of the months that go with this but so far this is the only one I've found. I am doing it myself and so far its working pretty well, I would love for you to do this with me, just comment below and tell me any of your thoughts about it . Enjoy!! :)
