Mason Jar ______.

1. Mason Jar Lace Vase or Lantern by Michaela from Michaela Noelle Designs.

Lace anything is fun, especially for the girl who loves fresh flowers (or even some year round fake ones!) Throw a tea light inside, and it automatically turns into a lamp.

2. Mason Jar Cookie Mix by the Emmaline Bride Team at Emmaline Bride. 

Who doesn't love cookies, and let me tell you, I got this as a favor from a bridal shower and it saved me a trip to the grocery store (and the indecisive toll I take at what recipe to follow) when I had guests over the week after :) Choose cute colored cookie embellishments and you're set to go! This DIY also includes a link to free printable labels from Bakerella!

3. Mason Jar Snow Globe. Here's one WITH water by Bree from The Creative Mama , and one WITHOUT by Arielle from A Beautiful Journey. 

Such a unique, and creatively opportune gift! You can keep it holiday-esque, or add in items that pertain to each specific gift receiver, like hello kitty figurine, or a little tea pot and tea cup set, etc. One of these DIY's includes a gift card, but I think I'd be most excited about the presentation of the package, than the actual gift card. Just sayin' ;)

A Cute Cell Phone Case!

I don't know about you, but picking up and snapping on a new cell phone case feels (almost) like getting a brand new phone. Shiny, scratch-less, and donning a new color, your cell phone case is also a chance to showcase your style! Lucky for us, cell phone cases are well priced, especially when you buy them off amazon.com!

Glitter Toms!

First of all, they're glitter-tastic and are perfect to sport for the Holidays and throughout the year. (Perhaps along with a comfortable NYE outfit?) Plus, as most of you know, they will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need, preventing disease, and injuries, while providing a brighter future.

Happy Gift Giving & Stay out of trouble in the Black Friday MADNESS!

I am Thankful For...

Inspired by IFB Project #22 and the nearing Thanksgiving Holiday, I put together a little somethin' somethin' of what I'm thankful for this year.

1. C.O. Bigelow Mentha Balm. Lip gloss that freshens breath, gives your lips a minty tingle and a smooth finish. I live by this stuff.

2. Fake Eyelashes. Are an Asian girl's best friend. Most of  us have itty bitty ones. Oops, did I just give away our secret?

3.  iPhone. I'd like to say I am independent of my iPhone, but in reality, I'm not. It's a true life-style device. I'm not sure if I can get down the street without it.

4. Glasses. Though mine are definitely not as cute as these, I couldn't live without my glasses. I'm a full time contact lens wearer, but by the end of the day, I can't wait to take them off.

5. Gold Chain Bracelet. I love these; to wear by itself, to layer and to spruce up a casual outfit.

6. Mint Green Nail Polish. Mint green really is my pick me up color. Looks amazing on my skin tone (and any at that) and works for any season.

7. A Chunky Knit Sweater. Oh come on, I'm a sucker for these. I'll sleep in one, I swear. Really, I will!

8. Jeggings. Jean leggings? What woman could ask for more? Butt hugging AND comfortable!

9. Comfortable Wedges. I love wedges. So easy on the feet, and easy on the eyes.

10. Benefit Spot Concealer- Boi-ing. Covers up blemishes and feels minimal. Dust some powder over and you're done. Mission accomplished.  

Okay, no really. This is what I'm truly thankful for this year.

My relationship with God, and his infinite blessings, especially through hard times.

My heroes, my Mom and my Dad, the most influential, compassionate and hard working people in my 

My BFF and friends. The girls that have been there through thick and thin, rise and fall, tears and laughter. 

And Snoopy. The most compassionate, loyal and loving little creature in my life. 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? :)

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!
