With all these Christmas wishlist's going around these days, I thought I would show you some gifts that give back. It's a great way to make an impact this Christmas, and support those in poverty stricken countries who are trying to make a better life for themselves.

The hubs had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day, so I brought him dinner and spent Christmas with him there for a bit. I got a tour of the hangar and pretended I was a high class exec. getting ready for a flight to Paris. One day...

This weekend was the first of many Christmas events to attend. We went to the annual Parade of lights where local farmers dress their tractors up in lights. I know, sounds like a high class event right? Well it's always a fun tradition for our family, and thankfully it wasn't too cold this year. Happy Sinterklaas to my fellow dutchies!

With Christmas parties coming up and other occasions to dress for, I thought I'd test out one of my favourite lipstick's to prepare for the holiday season. I have a feeling these hot lips are going to be worn quite often this coming month. Prepare for the month of red lips, short skirts, and glitter! I'm ready for the Christmas festivities, bring it on Santa!

Some fun holiday outfit ideas...

I wanted to give you some ideas on how to replace your basic festive outfits (hello Little Black Dress) with something a little more fun.
Check out the outfits I've put together below. Don't forget to have fun with your clothes!
