funny bone

No one ever would’ve called me political before. I didn’t worry about our world, it seemed like it was going well enough. But well enough seems like a long long time ago… Now I feel like I’ve got to pay attention or the whole world might go POOF!

So on this solemn eve of the historic impeachment public hearings, the only way I can counteract my anxiety is to think about a joyous eve… the one that happens every December 24^th.

Interestingly, this morning my bff Rachel,  knowing me as well as she does, texted me a link on this very subject. A sign? Maybe – I was planning to write this post for awhile…

24 LITTLE GIFTS EXTEND THE HOLIDAY SEASON

There are so many AMAZING ADVENT CALENDARS available this season — I’ve listed a few below. You’ll have fun researching them too. With a little help from Google, you’ll find Sock Advent Calendars, Wine Advent Calendars, Beauty Advent Calendars… If you can think of it, there’s probably an Advent Calendar out there. SUGARFINA has a super-cute one, but they’re sold-out online. SUGARFINA stores will get them, so if you’re in their neighborhood watch for them.

Hotel Chocolate UK has Advent Calendars in every Chocolate Flavor: White, Milk, Dark and more. Prices start at L12.50. Delivery is fast and reliable.

Meri Meri products put me in a good mood, even when I don’t get a callback. Their little house of hair accessories will get any little party animal into the holiday spirit. Priced at $42. (less if you’re a MOMA member.)

Check out the OPI Hello Kitty Nail Polish Collection @$49.90 — Purr-Fect!

What about the TEA LOVERS on your list? They can sip a cuppa something different every day in December. $32.00 from Palais Des Thes PARIS.

And the pièce de ré·sis·tance… DIPTIQUE PARIS has the most luxurious Advent Calendar of all, featuring candles, fragrances and skincare products with a lucky charm theme this year. I know I’d feel lucky to get this gift, hint-hint! Pricey at $425.00 but there’s a lot of product in this special gift. (Dream on, Evie…)
