I actually have a lot of holiday music...it was my intention to give cds to people but uh, too late (except for Princess Leah). My sister had also bought really cute handmade Christmas cards and I'd wanted to make some too...but the best I could do was make one (it took quite a bit of time).
My sad handmade card and its inspiration...




Christmas vomit-turned-into-wrapped-presents, finally under control! (had more presents after this pic too) oh, and the tissue box cover's name is Haruno Sakura ;)
Mariah Carey's Luscious Pink gift set!

Victoria's Secret Vegetable Candle, smells lovely!

a cute mug with a heart-shaped notepad...


Christmas tin of homemade cookies and brownies, mm mmm!!

Barnes & Noble gift card from Tia! I used this baby to order me some more Haruki Murakami books, (you'd be proud of me, Yasumi...I ordered After Dark!)

True Blue Spa Shea Cashmere body butter from Bath & Body Works...smells like dessert! Like "lick/eat me" dessert

My December NARS haul...it's a lot! Part of it Christmas gifts and part of it I feel guilty for buying but I had Sephora $15 gift card codes from Tia and Melissa, plus I used ebates (cash back for online purchases! if you haven't signed up already, do it now and use my name for referral haha paperdollrevenge @ gmail dot com).
NARS The Multiple in St. Barts and Copacabana, The Multiple Duo in Orgasm/South Beach (you saw this already), Blusher/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna, Blush in Deep Throat, Lip Gloss Duo in Orgasm/Hustler and Lip Gloss in All Night Long

One thing I really like about Christmas/December is all of the lights and decorations! Here are some random pics from my sis and me running down to Second Street/Belmont Shore for candy apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolates...
I promised I'd try to take some mall madness pics...so here they are! It's actually not too bad, they're from Friday before Christmas, early afternoon. I know it was much worse during the last weekend and remaining days before Christmas!
at South Coast Plaza, inside Sephora


across the way from H&M (though this one is small and only one story)

part of the holiday display where you can take pics with Santa (next year, hahaha)

and the reason why I went to South Coast, for the MAC Pro store!

it was crowded and not enough space for me to take a shot of the whole store

oldie but goodie from last December...me after work in front of the two-story H&M next to Tiffany's in Old Town Pasadena!

and lastly, me and Princess Leah having dinner and dessert at Cheesecake Factory in Old Town Pasadena after shopping...great way to end a long day at work. =)
And that's it! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas...I'm exhausted! It's back to the grind...plus I owe it to my new makeup to use them and take pics of new looks! Annnnnnd...before you know it, it'll be Valentine's (I saw Valentine's merchandise at Target already!) and time to haul from spring collections, ahhhh!!
