101 in 1001

Hello Hello Thursday Morning!!

And so so so close to Christmas!  

Well to start off this post today will be 101 things in 1001 days. (To break it down, would be 2.75 years to complete this list in!) I am 24 right now, so in two years I will be 26! Craaaazy!! I can't believe it, its really astonishing to me and crazy.

I saw this a few months ago while looking at a blog that I had randomly came across.

Earring Obsession

Hello Tuesday!! 

Yaay, I'm here for a quick post tonight! I came on here to share some lovely earrings I found two weeks ago. I found all of them in one day minus the ones from Aldo. The ones from Aldo were from a couple weeks before, but what a great time to get to wear some of these gems! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years! I am earrings obsessed,  that is my most favorite jewelry piece to go for, over bracelets and necklaces. I really love the first photo of the cross earrings, I saw them a long time ago in the fall/September and I never got them. I went back and no more but to my surprise they had came back in store, so this time I got them! I love them! The last ones, I think I might have mentioned on here before how the last pair of earrings were some thing that my heart was set on at the current time! I saw them online but never in store and yay, to my luck were in stores, so I had to get them! I love all these gem of earrings and I hope you enjoy them too!! 

I hope you enjoy this post! 

Have a lovely night. 

Festive Christmas Trees

Good Morning Monday!

It's December 10th today already! Wow, time is flying! I came on here this morning to share some photos of different decorated Christmas trees. I went to a Christmas Tree festival last Saturday and there was a lot of nice trees and also activities for the little ones to do. For example photo with Santa, Trim a tree (decorate your own mini tree), write Santa a letter and then little spots to buy stuff, along with a secret shop for kids only to go in and buy some stuff. It was good and I am glad I went because the day before I was like I don't want to go most likely. Definitely worth going to check out and not be inside. 

Here are the trees! I hope this brightens your Monday morning with a little Christmas flare. :D 

Giving Back for Christmas

Hello Saturday!!

I know I was pretty much absent last month! I know I sucked at trying to make it work out last month, but it just didn't seem to work out for me. I honestly didn't feel in the mood to blog when I got home after everything I have to do, like work. It's so busy, but today for some odd reason I was in a superb mood two days ago and just wanted to come on here and blog, which I partially did but never finished and never posted! I am here today on the 1st of lovely December with a post! Yaaay! I am excited about giving things to people; I am just in that kind of good feeling mood! I will get on with the post!

So you remember my post on Operation Christmas Child? If not linked it! Well I got offered another sort of type thing like that at work and I was like yeah totally want to do it!! The last thing I had just done I ended up coming out with two boxes full, because I bought more than enough for two boxes for the boys one I did for Operation Christmas Child.  Two happy boys will receive something, so exciting!! 

As for this next thing I am doing it's local, my area and it's my co-workers mom who started it. I am asked what I want.. a girl or boy and whether I want a young child or teenager. I chose a girl who was a teenage, since I already had done two young boys for the OCC. I am also given a name and age, she's 17 by the way! Her name I won't give out, however I did this gift today after work because I don't want to leave it until last minute or totally forget about it. It was actually kind of hard to find stuff to be honest. It was a little challenging and hard because some of the kids may have a learning disability (more the younger), in foster care or schools that know kids don't get anything for Christmas and stuff like this. I got a girl and I was like yeah should be pretty easy peasy, but not really because you have to be like okay, this is acceptable. I think this won't work or it will work out perfectly and I never really thought about oh no I can't get this because I am not sure. When you are buying for people you know you obviously know what they have or don't or if their ears are pierced etc. It was a little bit of a challenge and so I asked a co-worker/my friend and she was like necklace and some stuff, which I don't exactly remember. 

I managed to find some things for this 17 year old as a Christmas gift and I hope she likes it!! I'm so excited and it's not even for me but because someone gets to have a gift and gets to have a pretty cute little smile shining on there face when they open it! I decided on these things.. a scarf, hat, mittens, socks, nail polish, lip balm, hand lotion and a little notebook/journal. I will admit some of the stuff I love myself but I don't need it, for me those things would be more a luxury to just have to be completely honest. Here are some visuals of what I got! 

If any of you are curious where they are from it's down here..

- scarf, mittens, torque and socks (garage)
-  notebook/journal, lip balm and nail polish (aerie)
- mini lotions (bath and body works)

I love doing little things like this or Operation Christmas Child because it's a way I can give back and put a smile on someone else's face. I may not see their smile and joy but I know deep down in my heart visually I can see I huge grin with love, laughter and cute giggles with maybe even a few tears. I think that's one of the best feelings in the world is to give back or help someone out in some way or another! 

This is all I wanted to share with you lovelies today, so have a fantastic December 1st!!
