Richness is best experienced in Love

Hey guys! In a few minutes it will be December 1st which officially marks the start of the Christmas season in my books… Yes, I am one of “those people” who starts shopping well before hand because I hate the thought of last minute gifts, lack of sizes and selection and getting “ripped off” in the moment of passion- So I am almost done my Christmas shopping and am proud of that!

Today when I was out picking up a gift that I had pre-ordered for the little brother (he loves video games) I passed by Bath and Body Works and picked up two candles – one for myself and one for the mama – I got the scent “homemade cookies” for me (which smells heavenly to say the least!) and Twisted Peppermint for the mama – I absolutely love holiday scented candles and Bath and Body Works definitely makes some of my favourite ones – if you love candles, check them out – they are a tad pricier but worth it in my opinion because the scent is not too weak or too strong and I love that they come with a cap that you can use to cover it for travelling ( to hotels etc…)

I also started doing some wrapping while watching “The Grinch” with Jim Carrey – yes, I am corny like that – and proud of it :p …

I hope you all had a wonderful start to your week!

Gotta love christmas traditions... Nothing gets me in the mood like Starbucks 'red cups', mulled wine, Love Actually (or any Hugh Grant movie really) and novelty knitted jumpers. Mmmmmmm. X

I'm totally cheesy too. I always have a list of holiday movies I want to watch - mostly consisting of the old school classics like Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman (and there is a Very Brady Christmas in there too).

The cookie candles sounds so cozy. Next time I'm passing through the mall, I'll go check it out.
