Hi guys! Here are the pretty little things that I received last December 2013. I didn’t get a lot but I’m thankful for all the blessings and for the people who remembered me. I wasn’t able to celebrate the holidays with my family but I’m still looking at the brighter side that there are a lot of people around who love and care for me like my loved one, his mom, and my relatives. Some of my early Christmas presents, I’ve already included them on my November Collective Haul, if you wanna see them, feel free to check the link 
Now for the gifts last month, I celebrated Christmas with BF and his family. He already gave me an early Christmas present – an iPad Mini, and this new layout of my blog. I hope you like it too!
From BF’s Mom
I’m happy that I have a great relationship with her. She’s like a second mother most especially since my mom isn’t here with me in the country. She knows I’m going to blog events so she told me to wear these. How sweet of her!
Violet Headband from his sister
She knows I love headbands and hair accessories so she gave me this one. It’s beautiful and looks great when worn. It’s also timing that the color is close to pantone 2014. I might do a makeup look wearing this one. I also have a mini headband collection. I used to have a lot but most of them don’t look good to me anymore so I gave those to my niece. Let me know if you wanna see my collection! 
ELF Maximum Coverage Concealer from Lipstick All U Can
I was really surprised with this one when it arrived here at home. I wasn’t expecting it. I have ordered my Real Techniques brushes from Lipstick All U Can before, then I asked that I want to order this when they already have stocks, but then they sent it to me as surprise Christmas gift! I feel so thankful and blessed for meeting wonderful people like them.
Body Whitening Scrub and Soap Cuts from Chrissieyoj Essentials
Another favorite online seller of mine surprised me with these. She knows I love body scrubs and this one she sent smells divine! I can’t wait to use it! If you’re looking for effective yet affordable skincare products, you can check out her site.
NuDerm Supreme Products from Dermclinic
I’ve been loving Dermclinic ever since I’ve visited them and tried their treatments in their branch at SM Southmall. Professional and accommodating staff. They sent me these to try out. Thank you!
Vidal Sassoon Premium Color Care Products
Skin White Advanced Whitening Lotion
Moringa O2 Malungay Lotion
Got these for free using my Sample Room points. I was lucky to have placed an order twice last month.
BDJ Box December & Belle de Jour FMN Journal
Yay! My December BDJ Box! Everyone was excited to receive their boxes. Here is my unboxing post if wanna check it out! 
Faux Leather Jacket and White Blouse from Romwe
I am so in love with this jacket. Got it last Black Friday Sale for only $17! Original price was $90. Imagine how huge I’ve saved? Then this while lace blouse is from my store credits. You can really find nice deals and items at Romwe.
Pantene Pro-V Heat Protection Spray | P291.00 | from PCX
I bought this one from PCX, ATC. I’ve been looking for a nice heat protectant spray for so long. Tresemme is always out of stock and it’s more expensive like amost 90%. It costs P495.00 at PCX, not sure with other leading supermarkets. I’ll still try Tresemme heat spray after I finished this bottle.
Nikon D5200 18-55 Lens Kit
This was supposedly my Christmas gift to myself and my blog. I should have crossed it out in my wishlist but my money got stolen a few days before new year. I felt really bad and depressed. Now I really need to change how I deal with other people. I should not trust anyone that easy. To that thief, you know who you are. What you sow is what you reap.
Anyway, I’m thankful for my loved ones for helping me recover. Hopefully tomorrow, I can get my hands to this camera. In life, I always learn it the hard way but I know there’s something bigger for me this year, I can feel it!
