Blogger Secret Santa 2014


As you know, I was fortunate enough this year to get to know a group of bloggers whom I call friends. This past holiday season we participated in a Secret Santa hosted by Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart. I cannot stress enough how excited I was to do this. I love giving gifts. I love surprises (for other people haha). Most of all, I love the holidays.
We had a $15 maximum to keep it budget friendly, but also so us bloggers could flex our DIY muscles! I originally wanted to send homemade marshmallows, but didn't know how they'd do in the mail. I decided on my grated hot chocolate mix, a homemade bracelet (tutorial coming soon!), and a homemade lavender sachet (also coming soon haha).

 I kid you not. I felt like a kid again (ha, see what I did there?). Waiting for "Santa" to deliver my present! When it finally arrived, I tried my best to resist every muscle in my body which told me to RIP OPEN THAT PACKAGEEE. I did good. For a day. Then I tore that thing to shreds.

I could not be happier with my Secret Santa's choice. This girl knew I do not accessorize enough, and she got just the necklace for me. It incorporated pastel mint spikes with a gold gunmetal chain. It's a balanced blend of edgy and girly! I am wearing it as we speak haha
Big shout out to Simone, the best Secret Santa a girl could ask for! Check out her blog to see what she got!

 Btw, happy 2015!! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's. Cheers to another great year with you guys :)

    This sounds like so much fun! My blogging partner in crime and I will have to try to network with some bloggers so we can be in a secret santa next year too! We're celebrating the New Year and chatting new year resolutions with our Cheers to 2015 post that we shared on the blog today! Happy New Year!

      Yes! I strongly encourage it. It's so much fun to connect with fellow bloggers even if it's through old school, snail mail! I can't wait to hear about your resolutions :)
