What I got for Christmas 2012

(Click any images to enlarge)

 As I’ve gotten older, the plentiful amount of gifts under the Christmas tree has come down to about two or three, which makes sense since I don’t need all those toys anymore but only few functional gifts.  This year I got two great gifts, a Clarisonic Mia and a kitten calendar! Yes, you read that right. A kitten calendar.  It’s actually come to be sort of a Christmas tradition here in my family.  Its the go-to gift that we all use and since I’ve been extra cat crazy this year, my parents thought the theme for this calendar would be appropriate.  And I screamed in girly delight.

The Clarisonic Mia 2 was something I’ve been thinking about getting for a while now but was surprised by my mom who got it for me before I could.  And I’ve heard about this non-stop on YouTube and on other blogs.  It’s like the Urban Decay Naked Palettes, they never go down in popularity and, along with the Clarisonic, are becoming a beauty classic with numerous copycats still popping up years later.


 Lets dig into the contents shall we?

• Clarisonic Mia 2 - What sets this version apart from the original Mia are the two settings it has instead of just one.
• Clarisonic Cover
• Clarisonic Charger
• Instruction booklet
• fresh Soy Face Cleanser - I’ve heard plenty about this brand but this would be the first fresh product I have ever used. 
• Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster - I’ve never heard of this brand so I’ll just take this as a new skin adventure.  Judging by all the fantastic reviews online, I’m excited to try this baby out.

What I Learned this Christmas:  I learned that I really miss the old traditions of Christmas and want to make things different next year.  Other than watching a bunch of Christmas movies, I barely did anything Christmas-worthy.  Here's hoping Christmas 2013 will be a bit more festive.
