My One Year Anniversary! (DIY Gift Idea, New Hair, Exciting News, etc!)

On Monday, December 23, 2013 me and my boyfriend Christopher celebrated our first anniversary together :) So I thought it would be fun to share with you how we spent the day and give you some gift ideas in case you have an anniversary coming up!

We both had busy days with our families with it being the holidays. So we spent the night in and it was really nice.

This is Chris frosting the cookies we made. We were making cookies for my parents and his parents. This is what we spent the majority of the night doing. The cookies actually turned out pretty good and they tasted great! Like my Breaking Bad Cookie? BLUE METH CANDY CANE ;) I know. I'm way too obsessed.

Of course I had to make a minion cookie. We all know I love my minions!!! He is just too cute, I couldn't eat him!

We made reindeer cookies with Nilla Wafers, Red Hots, and Pretzels. This little guy is so cute.

Of course, I had to make an anniversary cookie. My family and nieces call me KiKi so Chris does too.

Before you start to think that I have a cute boyfriend who bakes with me.... take a look at his other creations.

My dad said "Don't you know it is Christmas?!"

My Grandma (not knowing what it was) said "It's cute!!"

He never fails to make me laugh.

I had a hard time finding something to get him for our anniversary! It was not easy thinking of something unique and thoughtful when I had already bought his Christmas presents. I decided to make him something to remind him of me while he is away at school (:

This is me working on the picture frame! I made him a frame that has song lyrics that remind me of him. It took me a few hours because I wanted to make sure I picked lyrics that were meaningful and songs that we both like and listen to together.

I used our favorite colors to write the lyrics on the border of the frame! :)

This is how it turned out! Some of the lyrics include

"Home is wherever I'm with you,"

"Love don't know what distance is."

"You are the other half, you're like a missing piece."

and may more!

I also got him a really cute Breaking Bad shirt with all of the characters because we watched the entire series together.

It was the last one left and it was in his size! I got it at Hot Topic but they are all sold out online now, so I couldn't leave you guys a link :(

I also got him a Breaking Bad car air freshener that says "Have an A1 day!"

I think the card shows that he knows me all too well.

But in case that wasn't enough he also made a minion out of

Legos. I love him.

He also got me this Rose Gold and Silver Promise Ring. It is an infinity sign or knot just like my tattoo :) It matches the bracelet he got me for our six month. I love it and I love him for getting it for me :) Thank you Christopher!

A lot of you know that this year we lost our Grandpa. With it being Christmas and it being our first without him we just wanted to share with you something we made to remember him. Our Grandpa loved birds so we got an ornament with one on it and wrote "Grandpa, Always in our Hearts."

We miss you Grandpa and we hope you had a wonderful first Christmas in Heaven. We love you<3

I finally masted the halo braid! Let us know if you would like a tutorial for this on our YouTube channel!

I got my hair done! It is now a dark brown color that initially looks black. No more ombre hair! I like it but I think I might do something different with it next time. Let me know what you guys think!

Shopping Haul! (Blogmas, Anniversary, Updates and More!)

So...I went shopping again. I know I just did a black Friday Haul but I got some good stuff yesterday so I thought I would share it! We just went to a few places but I am in love with all of the stuff I got! We went to the mall and also Charming Charlie! So lets just get started!

So the first store we went to was H&M. I love this store because they have really cute stuff at very affordable prices! If you guys have been following us and reading our blogs than you should know I bought a tablet on Black Friday. I wanted to get a case for it to keep it protected. I actually found this little zipper bag that is meant to be a makeup bag or clutch but it is the perfect size! It is padded so I think it will be pretty protective for now. Plus I can fit my Kindle in it as well! That was only three dollars and they have a bunch of different ones! Then I also bought these little metal chain rings. There is one gold and one silver. I almost bought these a few months ago but they were $4 and I just wasn't sure I would wear them much. But recently my obsession with heavy chain jewelry has been bad. So spending a dollar on this was well worth it!

Then, we went to Claire's. I just love all of their Holiday themed accessories. They have some really cute headbands and bows. Eventually, I decided to get some earrings. These were buy one get one 50% off and they were both originally about $5 each. I know I will only be able to wear the ornament ones for the month of December so I wanted to get the bows because I can wear them for more than just the Holiday Season.

BATH AND BODY WORKS!
Yes, that was in all caps for a reason. I love this store! It is amazing and just has so many amazing scents and things! I bought three of the mini candles. These are three for $10. I just got the samples because I know in a month I will be moving on from the holiday scents. So I just got 'Tis the Season, Merry Cookie, and Champagne Toast. I also bought the 5 for $5 Hand Sanitizers because I LOVE these things and I always have them in my bag. So I picked up the Vanilla Bean Noel, Cranberry Twinkle, Merry Marshmallow, Twisted Peppermint, and Sugar Plum Dream. To hear a more in-depth description of the scents click here

My last two purchases were my favorites! I got a purse from Charming Charlie. Isn't it just so cute? I thought it would be perfect for the holidays. I actually copied Jessica because she bought this in a different color and hauled it in one of our shopping haul videos. This purse was $19.99. I also bought a scarf to match this bag for $10. The image doesn't show it very well so you can just watch our haul video to see it better! Click Here!

Today is Jessica and Rob's three year anniversary. You might know him from our My Boyfriend Does My Makeup Tag video! Happy Anniversary guys! Love you<3

UPDATES!

So we have decided in order to get into the holiday spirit with all of you we are going to do BLOGMAS. This means that all of our blog posts throughout the month of December will be Christmas/Holiday related! Whether it be our Christmas lists, gift ideas, DIY decorations, ect. Just comment and let us know what you would like to see from us! We look forward to spending this magical time of year with all of you!

You may have noticed that our blog layout is a little different. We thought we would mix it up a little and try something new. Let us know what you think of the theme!

Also we just wanted to say that since our last blog post a few days ago, we have gained 80 more subscribers! That is so awesome and we are so looking forward to hitting that 400 mark. We would love to reach 500 by the end of our second month on YouTube. If you like our blog and our channel please make sure to share it! We really appreciate all of the support we have! You guys are the best!

We have been asked and yes we are doing Vlogmas this year! Vlogmas, (for those of you who don't know) is basically where YouTubers vlog everyday up until Christmas. What we are going to do is film everyday and at the end of the week mash them all together to make on big Vlogmas Video. We think this will be easier for you guys because you just have to watch one video not seven. So it will sort of be like a week in the life video where you get to see all the things we do throughout the week! We love vlogging so this is going to be super fun! So make sure you watch out for that!

Also just a quick update on the HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY! We are filming our November Favorites video tomorrow with the winners revealed at the end. So make sure you watch the video on Thursday to see if you won!
