In this holiday season we tend to put everyone else before ourselves. I know I fall to the end of the line, even to the point of being able to create Christmas lists for everyone in my family much easier than for myself. Well today I realized that I need to start thinking about what I might like for Christmas. My lists always tend to be a mix of what I want and a few things I need.

1. Clarisonic Mia 2 ($150 – pricey) – I love love love this little cleaning tool. After months of use, it still feels like a mini trip to the spa for my face. I also use it on my neck and collarbone area. The great thing is you can use your normal cleansing product. *Whispers* You don’t have to use the expensive stuff.

http://www.clarisonic.com/shop-our-products/clarisonic-mia-2-CL12.html?dwvar_CL12_color=White

2. Onion Glasses($19.99 but use your Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons for a discount) – Yep, you read this right. I love onions, but I also have sensitive eyes. One trick I learned to rid the air of gas when cutting onions is to burn a candle next to the cutting board. This does work, but because my eyes burn like the five fires of Hades when I cut them, I have Onion Glasses. Silly on, but the totally work. They’re awesome, in fact. I have them in fashionable pink.

3. Kindle Paperwhite ($119- 139 pricey) – I love my Kindle Paperwhite and spent months researching online and polled everyone about e-readers so I got the right one for me. The reason I love this one is because it’s backlit which is great for those nights you can’t sleep and don’t want to  turn on the lamp to read. And/or you are reading an amazing book, but you have to get some sleep – when you wake up randomly in the night, you can sneak in a chapter or two without disturbing your significant other with bright lights. Also, the reason I chose this Kindle is it’s not hooked up to my social networking like FB and Twitter. I’m on my computer all day long. When I get the chance to read, which isn’t that often, I want to wind down and read.

http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Paperwhite-Ereader/dp/B00AWH595M

4. Popsugar Box ($40- 404) -my friend Daisy Prescott gave me a month for my birthday and I loved it. It’s like getting a box full of surprises each month that you subscribe. It’s filled with all kinds of goodies and not necessarily goodies you would buy for yourself but goodies that you love so much that it makes you realize you should treat yourself more. It’s that good.

https://musthave.popsugar.com/

5. Smith’s Rosebud Salve ($4- 8) – I’ve used this for years. It started as a treat I wanted to give myself and then I was hooked. I use it on my lips every morning after brushing my teeth and at night before bed. I was drawn to it for the old-fashioned tin and the very light scent. You can also use this as a moisturizer.

http://www.amazon.com/Rosebud-Salve-Tin-8-Ounce/dp/B009I4PRI4

6. Stila StayAll DayLiquid Eyeliner ($20) – I’ve tried the cheaper versions with similar shape, but they all fail in comparison to this one so I just treat myself to the best one. The shape of the pen makes it easy to use and the color goes on smoothly.  It’s pure win.

http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product/stay-all-day-waterproof-liquid-eye-liner.do

7. Jane Tran Bobby Pins ($10- 12) – These came in my Popsugar Box for October and I love them. They are pretty and also fit snuggly to your head to keep those fly-aways at bay.

http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/10/october-2013-popsugar-must-have-box.html

8. Super soft/super cozy socks($4 -7) – I wear these socks all the time right now because Texas is unseasonably cold and I’m just not built for freezing temps. These socks make cute stocking stuffers too. I just treated myself to a pair the other day from Old Navy that have a cute dog wearing glasses on them. Who can resist animals in glasses. Can’t wait to wear them.

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=919637072

9. Trader Joe’s Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramels ($3.49) – If you follow me online then you probably know I have an addiction to these. I buy 4 bags at a time since I don’t get over to TJ’s that often. They’re that good. I have fears about running out of them. haha They’re delish. Trust me.

http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1125

10. Books (Free – $8.99) – Did you know you can gift ebooks on Amazon and Barnes & Noble? You can, which also means you can list your most anticipated reads on your Christmas List as well. All the gift-giver will need is your email address. It’s that easy.

 

Here’s what’s on my Christmas List this year

1. Cast Iron dutch oven ($30 – 350) – My heart goes to the original of Le Creuset, but actually I’m not that picky. Martha Stewart and others make great versions that cost a fraction of the Le Creuset price.

2. Popsugar Box – 3 month subscription

3. Perfume – I’m loving both Kate Spade Live Colorfully and Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede right now. I’m happy with either.

4. A flat whisk. I know it’s not exciting to most, but having 1 or 2 of these will totally rock my whisk loving world.

5. I love jewelry, so yeah, anything in this area makes me happy. There’s this cute little Texas necklace I’ve listed: http://www.etsy.com/listing/113201271/texas-necklace?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=jewelry_low&gclid=CLqen8LaqbsCFfPm7Aod9AYAsA

6. Gift cards/gift certificates. Coffee, itunes, the stores I like, massages and more. I love all of them.

I always struggle to come up with a lengthy list and then my family finds things like whisks I’ve listed and yeah, not the most exciting for them to buy. But sometimes the simple things that make our lives easier, even if just scrambling eggs, are the best gifts.

I’d love to hear your list of favorite things as well as the special things you’re hoping Santa brings you this year.

XO,

S.

Comic Con Post #2 – Notable Panels

Because one post is not enough to capture the awesomeness of Comic Con 2013, I’m back with more pics and fun..lxf2{position:absolute;clip:rect(456px,auto,auto,498px);}

I have a running tradition I hope always continues at Comic Con – that tradition is George R R Martin. I am a huge Game of Thrones fan and freaked out online with everyone else the night of the Red Wedding. *whispers* I watch the show and sadly have not read the books.

Game of Thrones was one of my MUST-SEE panels this year. My camera and phone camera made everything look further away, so I took pics of the screens too that I’m sharing here. In other words, Things Appear Further Away Than They Were.

I swooned over Robb Stark (Richard Madden) – he was charming and funny on stage, smiley and adorbs… and from what I saw in person too.

Jon Snow aka Kit Harrington was also fun to watch. I loved his chemistry with Rose Leslie who plays Ygritte at the panel. I might have freaked out when I saw him in person, but I kept my excitement contained.

Let’s not forget the beautiful Emilia Clarke. She’s stunning with her brown hair and when Jason Momoa ran out on stage and kissed her…. *flatline* I miss Drogo and Khaleesi.

 

And wouldn’t these two beautiful people make a great onscreen couple? Just sayin’ – I think they need to do something together.

 

My Game of Thrones story- My friends and I saw GRRM eating at the same restaurant as us at breakfast. I decided I was going to send this note over via the waiter, but chickened out. When I met GRRM that night, I handed it to him:

He laughed really hardy and then said I’m glad you didn’t give this to me at breakfast because it would have made for an ominous start to my day.

I was at Comic Con for several panels including The Worlds End:

Hunger Games was my other MUST-SEE panel: It did not disappoint. The actors were in great moods, Jennifer was funny, Josh charming, and Liam gorgeous. The trailer was great. I was so excited to see it.

 

A HUGE bonus panel that was really great to be in the audience for was the Divergent panel: After seeing this panel and the trailer for the movie, I really need to read these books.

 

Other notable panels I saw were:

The Visionary Panel with Directors: Edgar Wright, Marc Webb, and Alfonso Cuaron.

Ender’s Game because I got to see Harrison Ford

Gravity panel with Sandra Bullock and Alfonso Cuaron

 

Veronica Mars panel had an amazing energy and excitement in the audience.

I don’t even watch The Walking Dead because it seems way too scary for me, but I really dug the panel and preview trailer. Maybe I can watch between my fingers. I’m intrigued.

And the KickAss 2 panel was totally KickAss!

Next time I’ll post about parties, signings, and sightings.

XO,

S.
