I was so excited to receive a package from my Secret Santa... especially when I found it was none other than Jean from ExtraPetite! She sent me a whole bunch of goodies with a sweet hand-written note.
I love how everything was so personalized and carefully chosen! She remembered practically everything I've ever mentioned and sent me: liquid eyeliner for me to practice my rudimentary make-up application skills, an Ulta brush for my Rock & Republic blush that I'd asked her about, and Kiehl's eye cream for my worsening dark circles that I'd once mentioned in a comment.
Last but not least, she got me this pretty necklace:
... that's a perfect match for my teal Ann Taylor ruffle blouse that she knew I had:
I also very unexpectedly received a couple other surprises in the mail this month, including a ton of goodies from Elle of FastFoodAndFastFashion:
And finally, I'd recently tweeted to Sydney of PetiteLittleGirl about her Eos lipbalm, and she surprised me with one!
The best part of my holidays this year though wasn't about the gifts - it was all the people I have in my life, both old and new. I feel so incredibly blessed to have met so many wonderful ladies online, and have never felt more like part of a community. I truly want to thank my readers and fellow bloggers for all their support, and I hope everyone is having a happy holidays!! :)
Awe what nice gifts you got! And how sweet of PLG to send you the lip balm:)
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is super pretty- can't wait to see it on you!
Oops- and how super nice of Elle to send you all those nice gifts! WOW! Lucky girl!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Jean put a lot of thought into your gifts. : ) Keep us updated on how the eye cream is! I'd love to know :D
ReplyDeleteElle & Sydney are so sweet. : ) Sydney surprised me with a couple of bracelets in the mail last week and they came just in time for my Christmas outfit!
I've wanted to try EOS lipbalms ever since I saw Michelle Phan introduce them. They didn't have them in Canada until now, but of the 3 locations that are supposed to have them, they're ALL sold out!
Hope you're having a great holiday, Liane! Happy new year and thank you for participating :D
