Blogmas Day 3 - December 3rd, 2015

I spent most of December 3rd in bed. I had been in a lot of pain that day due to my Marfan Syndrome as it had been raining all day and that impacts how much pain I have from the hyper mobility of my joints [think opposite arthritis.] 

It was also a day spent in Mourning. On May 3rd, 2014 I lost someone very dear to me unexpectedly when they died in a car crash when Alberta had a freak snowstorm. Ever since that fateful May the 3rd, it is like the third of every month is etched into my brain permanently and I associate the 3rd with my friend. 

So I wore my lovely South hill locket which I won in a contest hosted by South Hill Designs Lockets & Charms by Kelli where we designed our dream locket - which mine was inspired by my friend! 

I spent the day watching Netflix in bed, sleeping on and off and just zoning out. 

Around 11 p.m I remembered I hadn't done my calendars nor had I recorded anything for that day.

So I reluctantly got out of bed & headed upstairs to "begin" filming for the day. Lucky for me most YouTubers are a  day behind when it comes to vlogging. Since most people upload the footage from their day during the following day! 

First of all I opened Day 3 of my Gabz Collection 24 day advent calendar http://gabzcollection.com/index.php? during which I got a little gold and rhinestone patterned charm for my yet to be found charm bracelet. 

After that I opened day three of my Purdy's 24 Day Chocolate advent calendar and found myself with yet another Purdy's Caramel Chocolate. 

 I opened Day 3 of my Kinder Surprise 24 day chocolate Advent. Where I found a Schoko-Bon 

Next I opened Day on my Lindt Chocolate 24 Day Golden Bear themed calendar. I was rewarded with a Lindt Double Milk mini ball. 

Next I opened up my 32 Day Frozen Chocolate advent calendar!

I got a chocolate of the man's face. Think his name is Hans?

Next up I opened Day three of my Craft Crossing Calendar which features and highlights a collection of 12 fan favorite beers from Central City Brewing and a brand new 12 bottle collection from 49th parallel brewing. Both are BC based breweries located in Surrey and Vancouver respectively.

Since to
day was an "Odd" numbered Day we knew that it was going to feature a new bottle of brew from 49th Parallel Brewing Company. 

Today's newly introduced Beer was called Jerkface 9000. Somewhere on the labels of each new or beloved Brew is a short and usually incredibly witty description. Jerkface 9000 had the following for it's description. 

"It's beginning to look a lot like Screw this. Seriously...Reindeer? Decorations? What are you, 12? All I want for Christmas is a bottle of this hopped American wheat goin' down your fruitcake-hole. That way I don't have to hear you sing any more of those awful carols." 

Which I ironically sung in my video of me opening the calendars! 

  

Next up I opened up my Clinique: 12  Days of Clinique Beauty advent calendar and saw that the quote beside Day 3 was "The Gift with Lift" and that I got Clinique Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream! 

Lastly I scratched my Holiday Countdown  24 Day Scratch & Win which I purchased from a ticket stand for BCLC. I got a deer with $30 marked under it. So far I don't quite know if I'm winning or not because the ticket isn't too clear. I just know I don't have one of the 3 important symbols on the back of the ticket. 

All in all another successful day of Advent Calendar opening.

2015 Purdy's, Lindt Teddy & Kinder Surprise Advent Calendars

I am fairly excited to try out my Chocolate Christmas Calendars since this year I have so many that I can now start to compare them side by side, day by day.

I am so lucky because my My parents spoiled me for my Birthday in regards to helping me on my quest for finding 2015 Christmas Advent Calendars by purchasing me 3 different 24 Day Chocolate Advent Calendars, 2 of which I've never tried before!

My Lindt Teddy Advent Calendar

The 2015 Lindt Teddy assorted Chocolate 24 day advent calendar features the famous Golden Lindt Chocolate Bear.  I loved the whimsical Christmas Design on this calendar albiet Lindt Chocolate Red is a red I always associate with Christmas!

According to the back of the Calendar there will be an assortment of Lindt Double Milk Mini Balls, Lindt Hazelnut Cream balls, Lindt Milk Napolitans, Lindor Mini Milk Balls, a Lindt Teddy and Lindt Teddy Friends Double Milk.

Which is an incredible variety of chocolates included in the calendar!

Check out the Lindt Site here here: http://www.lindt.ca/en/shop/our-seasonal-ranges/christmas-ca/lindt-teddy-advent-calender

Next I was bestowed with a  Kinder Surprise Advent Calendar. Which are my favorite Advent Calendars to get. I work extremely hard to open the doors gently because I collect & use the Houses as Christmas Decorations.

This year was a different kind of Kinder Surprise Advent Calendar because my parents gave me one specifically for Girls versus a classic Kinder Advent Calendar.

According to the back of the Box I will get 9 Mini Kinder eggs, 9 Kinder Schoko-Bons, 3 Kinder Chocolate, 2 Kinder Hollow Santa's and finally a Girl themed Kinder Surprise egg!

Lastly my parents got me a Deluxe Version of the Purdy's 2015 Chocolate Advent Calendar, purchasing me the one that is in a reusable box with pull out boxes for $5.00 more than the single use Chocolate Advent calendar.

The calendar is full of 24 pull out drawers full of either a chocolate figure or chocolate Bell, with two pieces of Chocolate on the 24th. I really like the sturdiness of the box. It feels like the Doors have a bit of magnet power to them or they could be weighted.

I am extremely happy with the 2015 Chocolate Christmas Advent Calendars I have!
