I participated in my first Secret Santa through blogging and it was sooo much fun!
My present came from the lovely Ashley :)
Sorry for my absence in the blogging world the past couple of weeks! We did not think we were going to be able to fly back to Ohio for the holidays this year but ticket prices finally went down :) I have just been so busy shopping and making gifts that I haven't had time for anything else it seems!
Tomorrow night we leave for Ohio, which is where the hubby is from. He has such a huge family so we are very excited to see everyone! He has 3 brothers and 1 sister, I was the only child so spending Christmas with a big family is so much fun for me now that I am older. The love that family has for each other is amazing, I don't think any of them have ever fought or said anything negative about each other in their whole life and I LOVE that. It doesn't hurt that it might be a WHITE Christmas this year as well. Sometimes getting away from the hustle and bustle of this big city is all we need.
I wanted to share with y'all some of the presents I made for my friends :)
We have been looking forward to this day for almost 3 months, our video is finally done!

I still can't wrap my head around it being December already! The older we get it seems the years start flying by. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, from what I have read and seen on Instagram it looks like y'all did! Mine was relaxing and stress free for once. My mom had all the food ready pretty early, which is a first! We ate, we talked, mom took and nap, and we watched a movie with my dad. After we got back to our place we went for a walk to the beach and played Cards Against Humanity with our neighbors. (I won) Here are some pics from turkey day!
Well HEY YALL! Hope all of you had a wonderful and warm weekend! I haven't posted in awhile due to my coconut oil fiasco, I just have been in a funk this last week. But I am alive and well from what I was told by my Dr. today...apparently I am not getting any better according to my lab results, so I have to undergo more testing and be off until January 12th. I am not complaining having time off work especially around the holidays, but it is our year to spend Christmas in Ohio but tickets are over $800. I get some money for disability but that is just too much money to spend on tickets!
My mom finally made me get out of the house this week, our passes are almost expired for Disneyland so we ventured out to the park and enjoyed the decorations and did a little shopping. When I got home I looked down and noticed what I thought was dirt on my wing but nope turned out to be a missing stone. This is the second time this has happened to me grrrrrrrr!!!
Coconut Oil is all the rage right now, I researched it like everyone else and started using it in my recipes. Well the other day I decided to start using it on my face..couldn't hurt. I saw so many pins on how good it is for your skin. Boy was I wrong. After about 4 days my face was fine looked great and so I thought wow this stuff really does work...yesterday I woke up and noticed that my face felt tight and sore. I get up and go to look in the mirror and wanted to cry. My face has red splotches all over, huge cyst like pimples, one under my eye that makes my eye so swollen I look like I got punched in the face.
I did not want to blame it on the oil but I scoured the internet yesterday to see if this has happened to anyone else. It has and that sucks. Everyones skin is different so I am sure this doesn't happen that often but it sucks.
I have told everyone I am not leaving the house until it clears up, I am so embarrassed :( Thank goodness for my sweet hubby that kept telling me how beautiful I was last night while I was feeling sad about what I looked like.
I would post a pic of this but its awful and I am embarrassed. So be careful if you have super sensitive or acne prone skin before trying coconut oil on your face.
* I wasn't going to post about this but it was Andys idea, he said maybe there are others it has happened to and you can talk to them, isn't he the sweetest?
