Random photo at my favorite grocery store Whole Foods :)

Christmas Gift: Chocolate stick to make hot chocolate yum yum yum!

Christmas gift: Body Shop -- Tangerine

Like I said in my last post, slowly but surely, I will post all my gifts up for you beautiful readers to see.  Here are some of my Christmas gifts that I used today :) I adore my new raincoat!!!! I have received so many compliments on it! I was in dire need of a light neutral coat since I'm so drawn to black, but this particular style is great with leggings and a sweater and works fabulous with a dress. I received a lot of shirts and sweaters for Christmas, but I will always be a t-shirts girl. Whenever I'm out running errands, I love being comfortable. I did my grocery shopping at Whole foods and threw on this ACDC shirt with my black jeggings and cheetah boots (& my gray sweater).  Next photo, my chocolate sticks! I'm not so much of a hot chocolate girl, but the dark chocolate sticks are super yummy and not overly sweet.  But!!! What is sweet is my Body shop lotion and show gel yum yum yum!!! I LOVE their body butter!!! A little goes a long way and all of their scents are so delicious!!! Now the best for last....my NYE skirt :) I had left over fabric and my grandmother decided to create this fun skirt for me.  I'm not sure what type of top I'm going to wear, but I will definitely have pictures up with the final piece.  Well I hope you all are doing great!!! I really hope it rains today :)

In Four Days...

I was going to post up all my Christmas gifts...but I'm going to make you wait and gradually display some of the items throughout my blog. It is now dwindling down to four more days until the New Year.  I am not exactly sure what my N.Y.E. plans are, but I plan on spending it with my wonderful circle. 2011 was an incredible year that went by quickly. I met some amazing people, accomplished many goals and grew as an individual.  For 2012, I do not have a specific New Year's resolution.  I just plan on continuing to maintain the positive growth and to meet my standard of success. I intend to go more outside the box and show my creative side through my blog.  I have been extremely blessed with so many opportunities that I wish to share to the world....I look at my blog as a public diary. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and everything falls into place and my dreams turn into reality! I hope all of you beautiful people stay safe, positive and have a phenomenal New Year!!!
