Hello Helen ! Congrats !! I really enjoy reading your blog :D I too am struggling to find time to write these days... Anyway it's really nice of you to host this great giveaway !
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about my Christmas wishlist yet, but I'll probably be asking for some goodies from Sephora !
hi lili! thanks for the comment - i am hopefully going to catch up on some posts these next few days :)
Deletei went by Sephora today and there is soo much to look at! the gift sets are always so tempting.
Great giveaway Helen!
ReplyDeleteI have nooooo idea what is on my christmas wishlist but I would love one of those Canada Goose Parka's :0
ahh we had our first major snowfall today and a parka would've been lovely!!
DeleteCongratulations Helen! I still remember the first blog post I read of yours! I think it was the Glymm Box from last year! I didn't comment, but that was the first! Now it's almost a year later!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what my boy and I are dressing up as...last year we were matching Minecraft blocks ;-) This year we were thinking of Dexter plus victim which gives me a chance to wear a mini dress made out of saran wrap. My only concern is how I would pee...
hi jayne! it has almost been a year :) thanks for all your support! i definitely remember you as being one of the first few who commented and continued to comment to this day - it means a lot to me! thanks :)
Deleteand the dexter idea is so awesome!! haha i would be concerned about the pee issue too.. :) do you always dress up together? me and my boyfriend have done it a couple times too - once we went as John Lennon and Yoko Ono and last year we were Mortal Kombat characters.
