hey there friday... you sexy day of the week

So I haven't been exactly feeling the whole holiday spirit lately, but this week wasn't a total loss… besides being extremely sick with a sinus infection combined with the stomach flu (which explains my absence since Tuesday), I was chosen as this week’s featured blogger by the H54F gals! Have you ever heard of The Lauren Elizabeth blog? Well, she is Kate "the Pinterest hair gal’s" sister, and she use to hold a link up. When she “retired” from the linky, four amazing women took it over. And they chose me as this week’s featured blogger. So go tell them hi, ok?

Ok, so back to this week…

Um… well, we already talked about the bad, so all that’s left is the good, huh?

One. You know my Christmas Card project that I mentioned at the beginning of the month? Well I surpassed my goal! I currently have 114 cards that I will be sharing with lovely people! 114! And if you want one, there's still time- so go fill out the form here :) 

Two. I finally got my hands on an actual curling iron… allow me to explain-

After I received my Kiss Instawave, I apparently threw out all my actual clip curling irons for some reason (maybe I didn't throw them out, but I still can’t find them). And when I went to try Kate’s tutorial I posted last week, my curls wouldn't hold with my automatic curler. So this week I bought a Conair 1" curling iron for like $15. I'm not totally impressed with it- I think I need a bigger one... like 1.25". But it does the job.

Three. My family Christmas cards finally arrived from Tiny Prints and they look amazing!

Four. I am about 75% done with my Christmas shopping. My goal is to not be shopping past Monday next week. I still have to buy for my inlaws, hubby, and one of my brothers... and I still have to bake some yummy cookies!

Five. My Popsugar Must Have box arrived unexpectedly yesterday... which is weird, because I didn't get any tracking. The box is pretty good- I will share it next week- but I am proud to say that I finally cancelled my sub. I haven't been impressed lately, and spending upwards of $35 on a sub is not cool if you aren't happy.

So I guess this week wasn't all bad...
