What did Santa bring you??

So Christmas was a week ago and things are starting to get back to normal... I hope all of you had a fantastic (and safe) Christmas!! Although Christmas isn't really about the presents, I got some pretty good gifts related to the things that I love: Muffins and Makeup!!!

First up, Muffin got me a Cake Pop Maker and an awesome palette of neutrals! She also made me 2 bracelets...
It's supposed to be a muffin on the homemade card but I think it looks more like a cupcake...LOL!!

HERE'S A COUPLE CLOSE-UPS:

Flirt! Pretty Neutrals Ltd. Ed. Palette


Next, LaKendra got me the awesome Sephora MoonShadow Baked Palette (in In The Dark) that I'd been eyeing, a double box of e.l.f. lashes and an e.l.f. lipstick, plus 2 weird Avon lipstick/lipgloss duo thingies (more about those at a later date)...




Pun'kin bought me the slow cooker I've been dying for as well as a Martha Stewart Double-Decker Cupcake carrier...and to be honest, I f'in LOVE it!!!!!




And the mother of them all actually came from my mommy...LOL!!! She bought me the dopest metal train case for my makeup: It has countless drawers and compartments which are totally customizable...it even came with an extra lid and strap to make it into 2 completely separate cases!! That bitch on wheels too...LOL!!! Then to top it off, her fiancee got me a $50 gift card to Ulta!! *faints*




WHOOP-WHOOP!!!!!


How did you make out??

Cookies, Cookies, EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Christmas time is prime cookie making time!! Between cookie baskets, holiday parties and cookie exchanges, I've been super busy baking and this year, I think I out did myself!! White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Dreams, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Butter Toffee Cookies, Brownie Bites, Oatmeal Raisin AND Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies!!!
While I do not have pictures of all these delectable confections, I do have this one from Christmas Day!
