OOTD: White Winter Hymnal


I was following the pack, all swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats


To keep their little heads from falling in the snow, and I turned 'round and there you go
And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime

A Thousand Wishes Body Butter Review


The other day I popped into Bath & Body Works and gave everything a good sniff. I wanted to find the perfect scented holiday lotion (or bubble bath or candle or whatever else Bath & Body Works has). 
And I found it.
I'm very picky about what I put on my body, which I think is pretty understandable. Right when I smelled this I knew it was the one! Although, I'm not sure how to describe it. It says the scent is pink prosecco, sparkling quince, crystal peonies, gilded amber, and amaretto creme. That's all fancy talk for it smells freaking good. I really think that's what the back of it should say. 

I've never tried the body butter from Bath & Body Works, but it's amazing! Super thick and moisturizing. If you have any dry areas of skin I would suggest this. I don't have too much of a problem with that, but I love being nice and soft and smelling good. 

This product came in at a whopping $15.00. I'm not sure if that's well priced. I think most of the prices are a bit on the expensive side. That being said, would I buy it again? You betcha.

What's your favorite Bath & Body Works scent and product?

DIY Hot Chocolate!


 Recipe:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Hershy's Cocoa
Dash Salt
1/3 cup hot water
4 cups milk
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1. Mix sugar, cocoa, and salt in saucepan.
2. Stir in water.
3. Stir over medium heat until it boils.
4. Stir in milk and heat (don't boil).
5. Add vanilla & remove from heat.



I cut this recipe in half because I was making it for just myself. It makes quite a lot, but if you're making it for more than one or two people, then I would do the full recipe. 

It really is the most delicious hot chocolate ever! During Christmas time it is a must have, and it's super easy to make. 


Pop some whip cream, marshmallows, and a candy cane in it, and you're good to go! 

Do you have any special drinks you make this time of year?

OOTD: Sweater Weather

Sweater-Kmart

Knee Highs-*Kushyfoot
Shoes-Forever21 

I went to a very popular park here in my town for these pics, and whoa! There were a billion families taking Christmas photos and then there was me all by myself. I think people may have thought I was a very lonely person taking Christmas pics. Ah, well. At least I looked cute while doing it! :D
I love sweaters. Especially sweaters with little penguins. It's just adorable. Throw it over a dress, and that's what I call an outfit. I think the hat works just right with it, and the knee highs were a must.
