Twelve Days Of Christmas...Day Nine...Treat Yourself

Hello, my friends, and happy Thursday! Christmas is almost here! As much as I like to plan and prepare, I realize some things simply cannot be done beforehand. So before the big day arrives, I take some time to treat myself. I like to think that caring for myself makes it much easier for me to care for my loved ones. As you may have guessed, I prefer simple things... a cup of coffee in front of the tree, or snuggling on the couch watching a favorite movie.



Sometimes, though, I find it necessary to put on some makeup and actual clothes and leave the comfort of my home. That is what I did today. And it was fun.


I went to my favorite salon downtown and got the best manicure!
I don't do it often, but it felt so nice to be pampered and have nice nails for Christmas.


Then I got dressed and put on makeup!
We went out to Steve's work Christmas party,
and had a really nice time.

This was the dessert.
Talk about a treat!

It was a nice day out and about.
And the best part?
Coming home, washing my face, changing into my pajamas, and snuggling on the couch watching The Grinch with my people.

Our candle today is Cozy By The Fire.
 Yankee Candle describes it as a mix of ginger, cloves, and orange, mixed with a hit of wood notes.
Sounds like a winner to me!

Thanks for stopping in, my friends.
Don't forget to visit Madison and Danielle too!
See you all here tomorrow, and don't forget to treat yourself!

  14. The one thing I did not get done before Christmas was a manicure. It is much needed but I just ran out of time! Well, I guess this will give me something to look forward to in the new year!

  15. I was just getting dressed in my jimmies (I'm out sick with a nasty head cold) and wished I had gone in for a pedicure earlier in the week. I thought I had more time. Yours are so cute and festive!
