Christmas is Upon Us! And a StarWars Birthday Party!

Google

Christmas is upon us! Are you ready? Have you completed all your wrapping, shopping and baking? I am proud to say that I am done! My shopping was far from stress free but I suppose that is my own fault for procrastinating this year yet again. I keep telling myself that I will start early but I never really do! I haven't even sent out my Christmas cards yet! Although they are stamped and ready to go.

Here is a Holiday tip to save you a head ache for next year though! Each time I received a Christmas card in the mail I saved the envelope, which has the return address on it. I put them in a safe place so that next year, when I go to send out Christmas cards (hopefully earlier than this!) next year I will have everyone's addresses that I need to send them out too.

I also thought about keeping a Christmas notebook. Writing down the names of friends and family I usually purchase or make gifts for and making notes throughout the year each time I see them. Notes will consist of conversations, likes/dislikes etc to make the gift giving process the next year just that much easier.

In other news my boyfriend of 6 years had his 27th birthday on the 18th. I decided to throw him a Star Wars birthday party with the help of Pinterest.

Needless to say he was very pleased with the decorations. I wish I had thought about using Pinterest help me decorate for Christmas as well but I guess I will have to save that for next year too!

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday!

Halloween Make-Up Success!!!!

Google The Halloween Party I went to the other night was a great success! It was a blast! I actually ended up doing two other girls' make up for the even as well. As promised here are the pictures of my ideas coming together (see last post)!

The lovely Katie, she wanted Sugar Skull/like make up. Her's was done last minute right after she got out of work!

Pretty Miss Kahleigh... well she just told me she wanted to look DEAD!

I wanted to be a vampire. It is one of my favorite things to be for Halloween. I love how pale I look!

I wore this necklace:

I got my shirt at Cotton On, I wore skinny black jeans and my Doc Marten Triumphs!

I probably drank a little more than I should have but didn't have a hang over the next day so that was a plus!

I want to thank MissChievous for her awesome Vampire make up tutorial that I watched prior to doing my make up! It really helped and I got so many compliments! She has some really great Halloween costume make up ideas and help videos! Here is the one that I watched that really helped me:
