Vlogmas Day 5 opening the advent calendars



On December 5th it was Day two of the annual Osoyoos Lite-Up where I took part in an Ugly Sweater Contest at Sears Osoyoos, visited the Kiwanis Christmas Craft Fair, and bought a few more "ugly" sweaters to wear in December!
For my ugly Sweater I wore my George [walmart] Reindeer knit sweater with the cute scarf [really reminds me of Harry Potter.] Sadly I didn't win the contest. 
After that It was time for me to open my December Advent Calendars. For my Chocolate Calendars I got a Salted Caramel from Purdy's, a mini Kinder Egg from my Kinder Surprise Calendar, as well as a Lindor Mini Milk Ball from my 24 Day Lindt Teddy bear Calendar. Lastly I got an Olaf chocolate from my Frozen Advent! 
Craft Crossing Calendar aka Beersmas featuring BC BREW
In side station four of my Craft Crossing Calendar I found the Dominator a Farm house styled Beer! 
12 Days of Clinique
 For Day number four of my 12 Days of Clinique we found Hydrations little helper which was a 30 mL jar of Moisture Surge extended thirst Relief Gel-Creme. Which is my all time favorite clinique product. You can find it here in a 50mL bottle for over $45.00 [Click Here] 
From my Gabz Collection 24 day advent I found a gold & Rhinestoned purse charm

Blogmas 2015 Ugly Christmas sweater hauls



The one thing I had problems trying to find was Christmas Sweaters to go along with my elaborate plan to celebrate my first Vlogmas/Blogmas during December.
I eventually found a few really cute ones at Walmart  one a red reindeer knit sweater wearing an adorable scarf and Harry Potter Like glasses. Alongside this sweet dark blue knitted sweater with a brown pug on it with a little red pom pom nose. Unfortunately when I came home I discovered the pug sweater had a totally ripped up sleeve.
Unfortunately for me I don't live near the Walmart as it is an hour away in Penticton so by the time I was able to get to the store I discovered only after officially returning the sweater they were basically all but sold out of all their Christmas Sweaters. Had I known that I would've just lived with the ripped sleeve because it was just that cute.
After searching for 20 minutes I found a basic red sweater with a Christmas tree on it and later when walking past the Dressing room I found a single blue cotton sweater that said This is my Ugly Christmas Sweater.
Which was actually a bit cheaper at $16.99 versus the $19.99 price tag of the knitted sweaters I found.
So I wound up buying this sweater to add to my grand total of Two Christmas themed Sweaters. So be prepared to see a lot of repetition in my wardrobe through out December!
Both sweaters are George Brand and both are Extra Small although both feel as if they weren't sized correctly. The blue sweater feels like it's a medium Small where as the Red knit sweater feels very Medium-Large, which is nice. Both sweaters are quite soft and comfortable and can easily adapt to the accessories I bought from Claries.

By the way one of my favorite things is that the scarf is raised up and makes a random little finger puppet/finger warmers!

Blogmas: Claire's Christmas Haul


Next up I bought this adorable Gingerbread Man & Gingerbread woman headband. The headband itself is red hard plastic with a small bit of red fluffy feathers probably covering up where the spring like poles are attached to the headband. 

Since I have such an elaborate Blogmas & Vlogmas plan I decided I wanted to go to Claire's on Black Friday and do a Christmas Accessory Haul! I bought Headbands and socks. However on Monday I browsed the online Claire's store and also bought several more things to wear through out December. I also have a few Christmas/Holiday themed earrings from last year that I have also included in this haul!
First I will show off the headbands!

As I went to Claire's during a Holiday sale the things I purchased in store were a Buy 3 get 3 free deal.
During this Haul I will
  1. Give the product name
  2. Link the Product on the online store
  3. Tell you what I paid [or didn't pay for.]
This is a Poinsettia headband I bought that apparently can't be found in the online store. The headband is metal wrapped in Silver with the leaves being felt fabric and the flowers being a stiffer material.
I bought it for $9.50  
The two gingerbread people sit on top two springs and that gives them quite a bit of bounce. They ginger bread people are a felt covered with a very thing stuffy, with red accents including a Sequined his & hers bow set.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find this item in the online store. In store I paid $9.50 




Next up I bought a Silver head band that had a big Gift bow on one side. The headband feels like a plastic base with gauzy Silver fabric wrapped around it with the Bow itself being quite sparkly. This is once again an item I couldn't find in the online shop.
It was advertised as $7.25  however it was another item I got for FREE

Next up I bought a set of 3 headbands coloured Red, green and Silver.  Each headband feels like it is a plastic base. The Silver is a darker shade of silver & more sparkly of a base than the Glittery hairbow headband ribbon.
With the green feeling quite silky and decorated with White polka dots.
The red headband is wrapped in a Soft silky red ribbon with a fancy little gift bow looking thing on one side with ribbons in white & red with some being strippes and some polka dots!
I quite liked this set because it was a set of three and the are fairly versatile and could be worn through out the year. In particular you could get away with wearing the red headband with bows on Valentines day and definetely something you could Rock on Canada Day in July!

In store the item was listed as $7.50 
However it was another item I got for FREE! 



















Lucky for all of you the Christmas Red, Green and Silver Silver set of 3 Headbands is still available in the Online Claire's store! it is currently listed at $7.50 plus shipping & handling and taxes!
Next up I purchased a new Reindeer eye mask which I desperately needed a replacement since mine was terribly stretched out!  This is the comfiest eye mask ever with thick padding and both sides covered in a soft smooth velvet.
In store It was advertised as $7.50 however it was the last item I got for FREE!  Unfortunately it also appears to be unavailable online!

Lastly for this haul I bought a 3 pack of Holiday Fuzzy no Show socks. They are cute ankle socks with little poms poms and they are incredibly soft and fuzzy however who knows what they will feel like after the first wash!
One pair was Red and white stripped with dark green pom poms. It kind of reminds me of a pair of socks that maybe a Who from Whoville would wear!
One of the other pairs was green with White polka dots and dark red pom poms!




The last pair is styled like a Santa Suit with red pom poms!
The Socks cost $15.00  and when you search for socks on the store they do pop up but once you click on them it just takes you back to the Home screen! Anyway I didn't mind paying the full price for these because for some reason I can only find a single sock from each pair from My Christmas Sock Collection! So I have NO Christmas Socks at the moment! 

LAST YEARS Earrings purchased from Claire's

I will review them by which ones I could find on the Online store.









Starting with the Christmas Tree Studs which you can purchase online for $5.50  
I like the Christmas Trees because they aren't too flashy and also because I have 3 of them because I clearly lost one earring in the original pair I bought & bought another set as a replacement. So you know it's nice having a spare. You can purchase them here http://www.claires.com/us/products/christmas-tree-stud-earrings-50261
Next we have the Burnished Gold Deer studs according to the site.
I like these because they are very subdued and really not in your face Holiday type Jewelry. Also the deer are pretty cute!
You can order yourself a pair on the online Claire's store for $6.50 by clicking here


Next up my two set's of Snowflake Earrings which I bought originally in a set of three different styles of Snowflake earrings. I can't remember if I lost a pair or if I gave one set to my mom?
Anyway you can buy the original set of three pairs of Snowflake earrings on the Claire's online store for $12.50 when you click here

END Claire's Black Friday Haul

Total Spent $40.00   with the total saved with regards to the Buy 3 get 3 free sale I saved $23.25 .

Oliver Christmas Craft Fair

On November 21st the day before my Birthday I headed up to Oliver to attend their annual Christmas Craft fair. Something I had never attended before.
Much like the Penticton Christmas Craft Fair & Sustainable living Show  I was Once again I was blown away by the extraordinary talent on display at the craft fair where artisans, crafters, bakers and entrepreneurs gathered to showcase their ware.
More importantly I was very impressed by the community support and spirit that was in full swing. Which showed the community fully supporting the Shift your Shopping Movement as well as continuing to Buy local and buy BC. Which at the end of the day encourages community strength and growth in economy.
During this craft fair the first few booths were selling Christmas Decorations. My mom purchased me this gorgeous stained lightly pink glass Icicle from Starfire Stain Glass made by Lorie which she will be giving me for Christmas [I.e I have no photos of]
Next we found ourselves a few stands down at Scroll Saw Art which featured gorgeous hand crafted creations made by Howard Karl. I bought a delicate reindeer decoration for only $8.00. 
Next we visited our Friend Sherri who was hosting a table full of handmade products using all natural ingredients and scented with Young Living Essential Oils. As Sherri is a Young Living Essential Oil distributor and we met her through Tracy with Big Bear Bites when she hosted Young Living Essential Oil make & take workshops.
Sherri very kindly gave me one of her chapsticks as a Birthday present & gave one to my mom too once she learned her Birthday was on November 28th. Afterwards I bought a Living well alcohol free Sanitizer for $4.00 as well as a homemade B-Natural Deodorant made using Shea Butter, Coconut oil, beeswax, Aloe Vera, witch Hazel, Arrow Root, Baking Soda, and infused with Abundance, Tea Tree Oil, Clary Sage and Frakincense Young living essential oils! I can't wait to use this natural, cheaper and over all healthier alternative to traditional chemical laden Deodorant.
Next we stopped by to see my friend and fellow toastmaster Shauna where she was selling Holiday Decorations which she had hand painted.  I bought this adorable hand painted Snowman which could either be used as a Gift tag or as a tree ornament. Which I plan to hang mine up on my tree this Christmas! I really love the intricate pattern and how the paint leaves a kind of texture feel to it!
After visiting Shauna we stopped by KBCreative  which features hand made clothing and fun little accessories mainly aimed towards Younger girls but adults can find things too! I bought two matching Frozen/Queen Elsa Hair Barrettes for the two little girls I nanny, who typically wear matching outfits [one is 3 & the other is 7] and both LOVE Queen Elsa from Frozen!  So I'm sure they will put good use to the barrettes. 
Our last stop for the day was at a table full of Ginny's Treasures where I ended up splurging on an very unique and literally one of a kind pendant for myself.
The thing about Ginny's treasures is that Virginia Irving from my hometown of Osoyoos uses Natural leaves and turns them into these exquisite pieces of hand crafted jewelry.  Leaves are carefully gathered and go through a very delicate process to take the intricate parts of the leaf and eventually dip them in metals to preserve their unique patterns forever. My gorgeous piece of nature combined with art and jewelry was well worth the $30.00.
All in all I had a lovely afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed my second Christmas craft fair in November.
