Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhile I love my family and getting to spend oh so much time with them over the holidays (seriously, I do), I need some alone time too.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basA trip to the drugstore never ceases to amaze me and always results in me laying down some major cash. However, in my defence, you can find some great products at an equally great price point.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith only about a week left until Christmas, I am officially in crunch time shopping mode. It doesn't help that I somehow keep adding people to my list. Nevertheless, I'll admit that my list is pretty hefty and I'm not nearly where I should be. Ah, the joys of procrastination.
