I am 27!

Hi!

Today I got something fun in the mail!  The Birchbox Book Club book for December!  It's a cook book called Homemade Decadence by Joy Wilson, author of the blog Joy the Baker.

It's so cute and all the recipes sound sooo good!  I'm so excited to try them and I'll post all of them on here!

Yesterday was my birthday!

 Isn't this so cute?  My aunt Chris gave it to me a few birthdays ago!  I love it :)

It was a great day!  Alex had class until the evening and then we went to eat at Thai Landing for a yummy, spicy dinner.

We got Potbelly milkshakes for dessert :)

During the day I got an Etsy order ready for one of my closest friends!  She ordered lots of hair ties and sets for Christmas gifts!  I also got a few other packages ready to send.  I got to FaceTime with my parents which was fun!  I got some great presents and got to talk to/hear from so many friends and family!  Facebook is great :)

Today I mailed a few things at the post office.  I've been addressing lots of Christmas cards!  We had some made at Walgreens and I'm also going to make some, so we're sending out a combo of cards this year!  I've been hanging the ones we get in the mail on this Christmas card holder that I made!

I also made other sayings/words like Family, Fa La La, Joyful, Jingle, etc.  I had them for sale at the craft fair we did last weekend!

I have a few more Christmas crafts I'm planning to do in the next few days, so I'll post about them on here!

Thanks for reading!

Broke College Beauty Blog!

Hi!

I think I've mentioned once or twice that I'm in the Birchbox group called Birchbloggers.  If you have a blog and you get Birchbox, you can sign up to be part of it!  There is a private Facebook group that you become a member of and there are also special things that you might hear about that you wouldn't otherwise.  It's a really fun group to be a part of because everyone reads each other's blogs, gives feedback, and likes to talk about makeup/beauty/hair/whatever!  Tons of my blog views have been from people in this group :)

About a month ago I wrote a post mentioning Naomi, a super-nice, fellow curly-headed girl I know through the Birchbloggers group.  She is the author of the blog Broke College Beauty and you should definitely check it out!  She posts about tons of different products (beauty and otherwise), writes reviews, and she's even doing a giveaway now!  She had written a really nice blog post after just looking at my Etsy shop and now she has ordered hair ties and headbands from me TWICE!!

Yesterday she wrote another awesome review about the hair accessories she has ordered from me!  What a great blog post!  I'm so glad to hear that she loves them and I love to read her feedback.  It is so fun to be part of a group of people that like Birchbox and blogging!  Since I am so new to blogging, it's nice to be able to see how everybody else is doing it :)

I just got a custom order for some wedding fans similar to the ones I have posted in my shop!!  Yay!
