Resolutions for the Holiday Season

Every time November and December come along, I am surprised that the year has passed so fast. Because I am now working full time, I want to focus on fully enjoying the holidays - this whole month is filled with events, wedding planning, traveling, holiday parties, and new projects.  But I realize that I need to stop and appreciate everything happening around me.  With Thanksgiving already past, I also celebrated my nine year anniversary and my birthday - next up, I'm celebrating Christmas, New Year, my sister's birthday, and my one year engagement (people celebrate that, right?).

From baking treats, meeting with friends and family, watching cheesy movies, and wrapping presents, I am making my pre-new year's resolution to savor every holiday moment.  Of course, this will also include some online 'window' shopping for new beauty goodies - holiday collection releases are among some of my favorites (think creative items like Paul and Joe cat shaped lipsticks, Essie Encrusted Treasures textured glitter,  Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Jewels blue lipsticks and Stila Cosmetics metal foil eye shadow).

Let us know in the comments what are some of your favorite holiday traditions and how you prepare for the busy holiday season!
