25 Days of Birthmas Day 14: Shipping Internationally

Well guys, I learned some things today. Like shipping across the pond is not cheap. In fact it will most likely cost more than whatever you're shipping and will take an hour of your time at the post office because you filled out the WRONG customs sheet. Oh well, I"ll know better for next time and at least my Secret Santa gift is on it's way! I hope she likes it :)

Speaking of across the pond, I've decided that if I was to have a Birthmas party and could invite anyone I wanted it would primarily be a British party. For example:

(did someone call for a Doctor?)

David Tennant has to be there because he is pretty. And a Time Lord. 

Music will be provided for all party guests by

These handsome gents and...

These talented blokes

And of course sitting at my VIP table will be my very best friends

HRH The Duchess of Cambridge

The girl who made "short" okay

and last but certainly not least

The worlds teeny tiniest most fashionable mom who will teach me all of her secrets for when I eventually pop a kid out.

So there you have it. My Birthmas Party. Of course you're all invited too!

Cheers!

P.S. Don't forget the giveaway ends tomorrow!

25 Days of Birthmas Days 3&4: GIVEAWAY!!!!

Oh hello there! Don't worry haven't forgotten about my Birthmas or anything. Just been busy helping a friend move and start a new chapter in her life and you guessed it, working. However today I pulled myself off my big comfy couch (anyone remember that show and the dust bunnies???) and ventured out to one of my favorite local Des Moines shops: Eden. Which I have written about before here.....wayyy back in my early blog days. Since it's my Birthmas and I'm FINALLY in the holiday spirit I decided to pick up a little gift for YOU!!! My wonderful readers, to show my love and appreciation of you this holiday season. What did I pick up you ask??? Let me show you.

Jen runs such an amazing shop. I seriously can spend hours here. Always something new and unique that you can't find anywhere else. From London to Paris to amazing boutiques across the good old USA, Eden can always introduce you to new perfumes, skin care products and home fragrances. I knew I wanted to include Smith's Rosebud Salve because it is one of my personal favorites and I can't live without it in the winter. After smelling everything there was I finally found something I fell in love with and thought, who couldn't use a little calm this time of year? Lollia's Calm bath salts smell amaazzzing and the pouch was too cute! I'm also throwing in one more thing.....

Since I didn't post any sparkles in my Stuff I Want post, I decided to give a little sparkle to you! Be Enchanted is a new fragrance at Bath and Body Works and I am in love! It's the perfect winter scent and that combined with a little sparkle is holiday magic!

So how do you enter? Simple, just be a follower on Google Friend Connect and leave a comment. For additional entries however:

1.) Tweet about my giveaway and leave a comment that you did.

2.) Mention the giveaway on your own blog and leave a comment that you did.

Giveaway ends Thursday December 15th at midnight and the winner will be announced Friday the 16th!

Hope your holidays are going fantastic! Also I need to add something on my Stuff I Want list...a new camera. I think (and I know I've said this like 500 times before) my camera reallllly is dying. For reals this time. 

Well what are you waiting for??? Get entered!!!

Cheers!
