Hey there!

My husband is officially awesome! I mean, he was before, but he just upgraded his awesomeness.


Why?

He just bought me this:

I know the picture is dark, so I'll just satisfy the suspense by saying....


I'M BAAAAAAAACK BABY!

Thank you HP, and thank you HUBBY! Woo!


 
 

The Most Epic of Birthdays

Today is my nephews birthday, and a most epic one at that!

Today is 12/12/12! The last repeated date in any of our lifetimes, and it just happens to be my lil' man's special day!

I still remember the day he was born, I was so excited I could barely work all day! He is my first nephew, and my only nephew and I love him dearly!

Happy 4th Birthday Gabriel! You impress me every day, and I hope to see you more!!

I have been excited about this post for a very long time! Today I am joining Lena B, Actually for her weekly Tuesday 10's post!

This week's theme is favorite Christmas songs! Christmas is my favorite FAVORITE holiday, and I love LOVE Christmas music!

My top 10 songs are as follows:

10. What Christmas Means to Me - Hanson. Such a fun loving cheery cozy song!

9. Merry Christmas Baby - particularly the one by Hanson: I just love the whole Snowed In album!

8. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: Brings back so many memories

7. Santa Baby: love it.

6. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - I can't wait to sing this with my girl & hear her sing "like a lightbulb!" and all the other funny quirks!

5. All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey. Who DOESN'T love this song?

4. Oh Holy Night: L.O.V.E.

3. Silent Night: My absolute favorite classic carol. Reminds me of Christmas eve candlelight ceremonies.

2. 12 Pains of Christmas - Twisted Christmas Carols: Ha! Cracks me up every time! "Fine! You're so smart YOU rig up the lights!"

1. At Christmas - Hanson: This is by far my favorite of all time. It isn't well known but just listen, I bet it will bring a tear to your eye. "No matter who you are, or how far you've come. This is where you belong, at Christmas" PERFECTION.

There you have it! Come link up and tell us YOUR FAVORITES!

The Beauty Voxbox

So, I have been a member of the website Influenster for a while, and I recently qualified for the beauty blogger voxbox. How? I have no idea because the closest I come to being a beauty blogger are my once in a while nail polish posts. But, here goes nothing!

In my voxbox I recieved:

An eyeshadow set in silver from New York Color

Not Your Mother's curl defining hair creme

Bath and Body Works candle

A set of artificial eyelashes from Kiss

Goody simple styles spin pin

A sample of Eboost (which I plan on trying this week)

And Vitabath fragrance mist

My opinions? The fragrance is a full size sample, but I have so much already I will probably never use it. The spin pin sounds like a great idea, but my hair is fine and straight and it wont stay in my hair, and that goes for the hair creme as well: I have straight hair so have no use for a curly hair creme. I have no reason to wear false eyelashes, but I will probably wear them at least once more. The candle is ok, but I probably wont buy it.

My favorite by far was the eyeshadow from New York Color. I definately want to try more shades!

Disclaimer: Influenster sends me these products in exchange for my honest opinions. I am not compensated monetarily, but all opinions in this post are completely my own.

I highly recommendNYC New York Color eyeshadow! It's great.

No luck...

So, I am still here, even though I feel like I can't post anything of worth without my computer.

I am falling behind in things I was working on for my blog, I have half-assed posts floating out there, I have been itching to re-do my header for months, and there are so many ideas for posts in my head I am starting to go crazy. I keep thinking "this would make a great blog po.....oh." Im starting to get sad about it.

I miss my nail polish posts. I haven't painted my nails in over a month and I used to do it weekly. My nails are suffering.

I miss my waist watcher posts. I totally fell off the wagon and my Hubby is starting to get ticked again that we are paying for a gym membership that I don't use.

I miss my updates on Natalie and sharing her with you. I miss my Instagrammies. I miss editing photos and looking at pictures of my girl.

I miss blogging.

And it doesn't look like the computer is EVER going to get fixed. If Hubby had his way, it wouldn't. My birthday and Christmas is coming up......

A girl can hope.
