I’m not ready!) and instead of scouring the interwebz for thoughtful gifts for the ones you love, I’d like you to take a moment, or two, or three to look at some pretties for yourself. You deserve it. It’s been a long year and you’ve worked hard at all of the things so put your feet up and take a peek at some arm party decorations I’ve gathered…

One of the modern marvels of the world, (my modern world anyway) is the invention +/or discovery of blotting paper. Tell me you know about this stuff. You do know about it, right? If not no biggie, that’s what I’m here for, to help you navigate the sometimes weird world of beauty. Blotting papers are these magical little squares of paper that absorb oil from your face.
