You all make me curious about this Starbucks Christmas drinks. I think I shoud try them, when I'm in the City...

Even if we don't really celebrate Christmas, I do love the "feeling". I love the Christmas Fair. I love the Spices and the Scents there. And I love the romantic atmosphere

I think so! My friend told me it's this week.
They always open after Halloween weekend.

I'm in need of a willpower boost too, you think Santa will stick that in my stocking? I really like Glee! Sue cracks me up and the show is really cute and entertaining. I still love Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Fringe and House too...quite a few good shows on now! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

I am in love with Fringe! I got caught up on all of my fringe episodes last night. I discovered Fancast.com where you can watch episodes of most tv shows from your computer. I find that I have too much that I want to watch on Thursday nights that my DVR won't let me record it all. Guess I watch too much tv!

All of my friends laugh at me for getting my stuff up so early but I just love this time of year so much! I also can't wait to start buying and wrapping presents. Woo-hoo for the holidays!!

I have never tried a starbucks holiday drink before as I am not much of a coffee drinker but you all make them sound so good! I might have to cave this year and try one.

 

[LMD84]

i'm off to bed now ladies!

me and hubby are going to watch some of the new simpsons box set he bought me and have some cuddle time! because i've been working so much i have negleted him a bit! 7th day in a row of work tommrow! argh!!!!

[MissCrystal]

Oh, I love the Simpsons. Hubby and me love to watch it together

 

[coachkitten]

That is strange about the daylight savings because I am in Seattle and mine is showing the correct time.

I love eggnog...and eggnog loves me, in the butt and thigh regions especially.

I do the same thing! I enjoy Christmas time so much, I milk every day of decorations, gift shopping, present wrapping, cookie baking I can get. Your decorating theme sounds so pretty and unique, I love it! I'm going for an elegant all gold/white/clear scheme this year...hopefully it turns out as nice as it looks in my head.

You're totally not alone!! I quick clean my brushes after every use on baby wipes and set them aside for an actual cleaning every Sunday. Speaking of brushes, I'm in the mood to change my brush holder/storage! Do any of you own this item from Sephora? LINK HERE

It looks great. I might just give it a try! What do you guys think?

That looks really nice. You can keep your face brushes seperate from your eye brushes.

I love storage boxes and pots

I have this exact one and love it. I filled each compartment with the colorfill floral beads (to keep all the brushes I put in it upright - like the brush containers you see at Sephora) one can get at craft stores and it works like a charm!

It is black, so it shows dust easily, but it ends up not being too much of an issue for me since I am pretty anal about keeping my brushes clean anyway.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ The Sephora brush holder looks very sleek but I don’t put my brushes in a holder because it is very dusty in my humid environment and I don’t like dust to collect on my brushes. I keep them in a box with lid so that I can it shut.

I used to do that and because the makeup residue has been left on the brushes for a week, it was difficult to rinse them out. Now I try to wash them daily and it is actually easier to remove the makeup.

Yup, you should try the drinks!

I don't celebrate Christmas (from the religion sense) but I buy presents for friends and like you, just enjoy the atmosphere and the sights and decorations. It's my favourite holiday.

I don't have these drinks here but they sound delicious!

I'm not a coffee drinker too but the holiday drinks make me so happy and satisfied.

 

[clslvr6spd]

All this talk of Starbucks Holiday drinks!

I think I am going to spike a Peppermint latte to warm me up a wee bit warm at our usual Monday night football bbq tomorrow!

BTW - this is where I storage all my (clean) brushes, together with my eye and lip pencils and my palettes from Coastal Scents:

IKEA | Kästen & Körbe | Kästen für Papiere & Medien | FIRA | Minikommode mit 5 Schubladen

My box is decorated now. Looks nice!

Edit: I know you want to see pics?! Give me some time, but I will make some for you
