It's beginning to SMELL a lot like Christmas

Christmas in TX isn't necessarily what you call cold. Take today for instance, we put up our Christmas tree & it was 80 degrees outside. Times like this we really wish jack frost was our friend. Even though it was pretty darn warm outside we turned on the Christmas carols, made some hot chocolate & put on a pot of "Christmas scent." This is one fantastic recipe that makes your whole home smell like the holidays. It's just a few ingredients thrown together but it lasts all month long. This little concoction would make a great homemade gift too. Get ready cause Christmas is about to smell a little sweeter!

* Make sure once the water evaporates you keep adding more water to the ingredients.

The ingredients tend to burn brown after they've been boiled but don't worry they are still good! Just pop them in the fridge when you're aren't using them, they will last a few weeks!

Step 1. Spray your hair all over with a heat protectant.

Step 2. Section off your hair & start curling 1 inch pieces of hair away from your face.

Step 3. After you curl each section take your bobby pins & wrap your hair around your finger. Pin the hair onto your head securely.

Step 4. Leave the bobby pins in for about 15 minutes allowing your hair to cool. Fell free to do your makeup during this time.

Step 5. Once all of your hair has cooled down take out your bobby pins.

Step 6. After all your bobby pins are taken out run your fingers through your hair, separating your curls.

Step 7.  Take your teasing comb and start teasing your roots. The more volume the better.

hot chocolate recipe....hot chocolate heaven

We're always looking for a great hot chocolate recipe. We've tried white hot chocolates, Serendipity's hot chocolate & mint hot chocolate. All by the way are A-MAZING! This year we found another great recipe. This recipe was easy & so incredibly delicious. This was hands down one of the most decadent hot chocolates we've ever had. It was incredibly chocolaty & so delicious. 

Anything with chocolate & I'm in heaven. Yup it's by far my weakness (if y'all can't tell by now) Oh & by the way these cookies are incredible! It only has 5 ingredients so you know its simple but very tasty. The main ingredient is Nutella, now who deosn't like that? I added a few chocolate chips for a little surprise. I like to live on the wild side!

December our oven is working overtime! This Saturday we're spending the whole day baking cookies. Just us girls, about 20 cookie recipes & Bing Crosby blaring on our iPod. This is just one of the many reasons why I love the holidays! If you have any favorite cookie recipes that you would love to share, tweet us or email us we'd love to hear about them.
