Want, Need, Wear, Read

Now that I'm all grown up with children of my own, Christmas is a whole lot more about the giving of gifts than the receiving. In fact, the hubby and I don't even exchange gifts any more. For us it's just nice to not have the added pressure of trying to impress one another. And if there is something one of us really wants, we'll just talk about it and decide whether or not we can get it for ourselves.

However, thanks to Rhonda at Hepburn & Houndstooth, I thought it would be fun to come up with my WANT, NEED, WEAR, READ Christmas wish list... just for fun. I have many memories of crafting up the perfect Christmas list for Santa when I was a wee one. And I figure that if the hubby just happens to stumble upon this post and decides he wants to get me a gift after all, he can have at it. :-)



WANT: Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleaning System
I had a facial once and the aesthetician used this thing on my face. She said she highly recommends it to her clients. I've read a bunch of reviews and it sounds pretty magical. My skin could use all the help it can get. Do any of you own one of these? If so, is it worth the price???

NEED: New Underwear
You ever just wanna throw away all of your underwear and start over? I'm at that point right now. And BFing Landon really took a toll on my girls (if ya know what I mean) and I don't own any bras that fit me properly at the moment. Sigh.

WEAR: Lululemon Athletic Attire
I'm still doing the Bar Method and loving it! Everyone in class wears the cutest workout clothes and I've noticed a lot of Lululemon stuff. As for me, I'm stuck in ghetto sports bras (that I've had since high school probably) and t-shirts and leggings. I'd love to step it up in the workout wear department! However, I would personally never spend $85 on a pair of pants I'm going to sweat my ass off in.

READ: Blog, Inc.: Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create Community
I've seen a few other bloggers mention this book and I'd love to get a copy. But the truth is, I'm in a reading rut right now and I need some good fiction suggestions! Help! Anyone?

So, who wants to fulfill my Christmas wish list? ;-) Do you have anything that you're hoping to score this holiday season?

An another note... Happy 12/12/12!!! Today has been pretty special in an un-extraordinary way. Enjoyed a nice lunch with some of my gal pals, listened to some Christmas tunes while the snow fell outside, and ventured off to Trader Joes for some holiday goodies and an extra dose of Christmas cheer. When asked, "How are you today?" the checker at Trader Joe's replied, "Happy!" He proceeded to gift my friend and I with free reusable totes. His smile and enthusiasm at work was contagious and I've felt extra-happy ever since coming in contact with him. Proof that tiny gestures and a smile can go a long way in making even a stranger's day brighter. :-)

Hope your 12/12/12 was special! (& every other day for that matter)
