Christmas past....

4 years ago...this is what I looked liked...
my hair was much shorter.....and same brightly colored earrings and accessories as always....
the Santa that you see with me...is none other than lil' Lanzi!

I am so excited for:
my sister, her lil' baby, her hubby.....and my mama to be here tonight!
that Christmas is almost here...
that some goodies that I ordered will be here soon
that I am going to make a cheesecake...yay!
that we are going to make gingerbread houses
and maybe go ice skating...

and I get to go back to Whole Foods and buy food and treats...
and go to Forever 21 to return this super ill-fitting gold sequin mini-skirt and some other shirts that looked ok in the dressing room...but UGLYYYYYYYY.......when I got home...or actually I had thrown them in my suitcase, and thought I had a cute outfit on my last trip....but nooooooo way!

Off to shower, shop, come back and clean my house!!!!

And hope no one is reading this, but I bought all the girls in my family FELINE black liner from MAC, beacuse I love it so stinkin' much!!!!!
happy almost....almost...Christmas! Candy canes and ornaments, Kandee

oh what to do....

to do list for today:
*type a blog - check
*possibly work out (even though my muscles are still screaming at me for the workout I did the day before)
*put up my icicle Christmas lights (before my sister gets here)
*finish buying presents for 3 more peeps
*make a list of all the goodies and treats I'm going to bake and make (all I can say is White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Mousse pie or cheesecake)
*finish wrapping presents (that I buy today)
*laundry, lots of laundry
*go to Whole Foods and spend a large amount on food (I know why they call it Whole Paycheck! ha ha ha)
*and maybe even make a little video or edit one?!?
*and lastly..clean...bleck.....cleaning..never ends!

but at least my cute lil' wreath is on my door and I love it!

I love Christmas, it is my favorite, but it felt like it came so fast this year I didn't have time to listen to enough Christmas music, bake enough cookies, see enough shopping centers decorated with twinkly lights (my favorite!!!!)....I will have to see if I can record one of my neighbors homes, they set up a huge light display with a "choreographed" light show, then you turn your radio to a certain station and you hear the music in your car! It's awesome! ( I don't know if youtueb will let me post it, because of the music, and it's not as cool without it! I know because my car last Christmas, didn't have a radio that worked! ha ha ha ha)

Off to make lists, shower, and shop! Happy, almost, really Christmas! huge love, kandee

WORD to Yo MAMA



this a blog post about WORD-word of the day, keeping your word....word to yo mama!

WORD OF THE DAY-

bada bing bada boom


Definition: an exclamation to emphasize that something will happen effortlessly and predictably; also written bada-bing, bada-boom

Example: And bada bing, bada boom... the cake is done

now that we have our new fun word to use....
I read something great about keeping our words....
have you ever had a party, and like 13 people said they'd come and then 6 show up? I have, and I wished that if people said they would do something, they would....or at least tell the person as soon as you know that you can't!
I know there have been things in my life that I said I'd do, then when it came down to it, I didn't want to, or it wasn't "convenient" (i had something better to do), but I did what I said I would do anyway. We want to be people of our words...if you say it, mean it. Let your yes, be yes, and your no be no.
I need to tell myself this all the time, I am a people pleaser, and it makes it hard for me to say no to people, but I am working on, only say yes to what I know I will be able to do!

It's as easy as that, bada bing bada boom! ha ha ha ha ha
happy sunday before Christmas...I'm off to do some last minute present shopping...I still need to get my mama and sweet sister something! hot chocolate and christmas music, kandee

All I want for Christmas...

since a few people...my mom and sister (ha ha ha)...want to know what I want...I thought I'd share my Kandee wish list with you...but I would've settled for no presents...just them coming to see me for Christmas...I can't wait!!! But since they do want to get me a lil' somethin' ....here goes....
click on the names and I put the links to take you where to get them if you want!

1. Vanilla Extreme by Comptoir Sud Pacifique
i love this perfume and have been wearing it for years!!! it smells like cake!


2. Salvatore Feragamo's Encanto SHINE
it's so hard for me to find perfume's that i like...then my sister had it one, and I was like, "whuuuuuuut, are you wearing...i luuuuuuuv it!?!"
3. Sabre Sunglasses in the KOZOI model
i love these for so many reasons...1, kinda 80's and i love that...2, kinda tough with the studs, and 3 they are funky fresh....and I bet few will dare to wear them...and that's what I love wearing! ha ha ha

4. URBAN DECAY BOOK OF SHADOWS II
I actually already got it...but I would've asked for it too! I love this....you get 16 shadows for 48 bucks! And the colors, are amazing...plus you get eye primer, and 2 liners...! I love the greens and the taupes....and the golds...i love me all!!!! this has already gone on a trip with me...and not one eyeshadow broke on the flight!!!
5. Skull Candy Headphones
I can't decide between the white ones THE SKULL CANDY GI

or the HESH PAUL FRANK, i love both....and since when I'm flying, i don't want people to have to hear my voice, as I edit videos, i can barely stand heraing my own voice! ha ha ha...and skull candy's are comfy, and cute, and have made it on some "best of headphones" lists...and "candy" is in their name!
6. Woo Jacket's
i love woo, which is their website name too! i want to live in their jackets...they are cut nicer than any jacket I've ever tried on...they make you look skinny!!!!
I want the SABRINA, the cropped one in black...I have the teal, but I want a lil' black one too...and I really LOVE this one too!! the cut is so modern and timeless, and no one will have a coat like yours! I want to live in this jacket! (it's the STASSIA COAT)...
I did a video touring Stacy's store....wait til you see it! I LOVE all her clothes sooooo much, I've worn a lot of her clothes in videos, like my hair cut on melrose one! love everything!
and a nice pair tall slouchy boots, like in the picture above! hee hee hee

so that's what I hope might find it's way under my tree! And I'm off to brave all the other last minute shoppers at the store, to find all my peeps their presents! merry almost Christmas...with a hot peppermint white chocolate in hand!!! xoxo kandee

random thoughts: glaminars, ebay & throw up

Mr. Sandman didn't visit me very long last night.....
click here to see why:
www.adventuresinkandeeland.blogspot.com
I'm a little behind in my daily tasks....ha ha ha
yesterday was filled with shopping in the mall....and oh so much more....
where Nicolle made my day, by recognizing me and coming up to say hi and get a picture...
thanks Nicolle for coming up and saying hi!!!! And she had awesome green eyeshadow on!

I was supposed to work on my GLAMINAR schedule...yes, I will try to be coming to a city near you teaching make-up wonder...yay!!!!
I just wanted to get some updated feedback on where I might be "wanted" the most....
some cities might be:
Chicago, LA, San Diego, San Fran, Toronto, London....Dallas or Houston.....Seattle.....make your requests....I'm gonna plan the schedule out for the new year!

And next, I have some things I was thinking of selling on ebay....watches that my friend made, like mine, some things I needed to just try to sell anyway....would anyone want to buy some treasures from my closet and beyond!?!

I am so tired...but one true thing is...you are going to have to do things no matter what...so you might as well be happy and merry while you do them. Two people can do the same things..one happy and one complaining....I guarantee that the one who does it happily won't mind it nearly as bad as "el complaino"...ha ha ha ha

So remember today whether you had grumpy people at school, rude drivers, a difficult person, or a not-fun task...do it "merrily"....because it's going to get done one way or the other...and it might as well be the happy way!

huge love and candy canes, kandee
PS. I promise I'll have a better blog post tomorrow! ha ha ha ha

I got a friend!


my built-in, best friend....my sasster (sister)...I would do anything for her...she is everything that I'm not....and she has been my constant companion since my parents brought her home from the hospital "for me"!!! We could be in the same room, not saying a word, and know exactly what each other is thinking! And I laugh harder with her, than anyone on the planet! I love you more than cake loves icing!!!
this is Jamesa, who is my amazing helper extraordinaire at my Glaminars! This was after the LA Glaminar, and she was my sisters bestie, growing up, so she is like a bonus "sister" to me too!
this is my friend Tamara, who swirled into my life many years ago...and she has been like sparkles and glitter in my life ever since...she is so precious to me...and she dislikes talking on the phone as much as me! ha ha ha She inspires me, and her encouraging words have helped heal my heart, like little miracles from heaven! I heart you Pudsie!!!!
this is my friend Teresa that I've known since high school, but we just reconnected months ago, and she is so sweet and encouraging! She truly loves me for me! And I love her for her! She has been through so much, including open-heart surgery....and still laughing and smiling, from her hospital room and beyond! I heart you rings love fingers, bella belle!
and my friend, Ian (who looks like a ladies man in this photo! ha ha)...he has been such a dear friend, answered phone calls at 1,2, or 3 in the morning, he is my best guy friend...like a brother, homey, and someone who's been there through a lot of my tough, tough times...and some of the really great ones too! His giving heart, has been a blessing in my life...and he's been a great support for me! I love ya man!
FRIENDS, Pals & Acquaintances
I have a lot of "people I know", but true friends that love you for you, that celebrate who you are, that don't want to change you, that love you no matter what....
those are rare and so special!

You want to surround yourself with people that are right for you! That don't want to change you, or make you into something you're not....they just want to love, support you, be there for you...and just love who you are!
Same thing goes for a "special someone" in your life...you want the right one. That makes you the best you...that makes you feel wonderful and adored. That celebrates you...and helps cheer you on to be the best you, you can be!
Sometimes we work hard to be friends with people who aren't right for us. People who don't have good intentions for us, or aren't people that will be right for us. God knows what we need in our life, and sometimes he will bring in the most amazing people to love you the right way!
If you don't have someone like that in your life right now, know that I believe in you, and I would celebrate all the wonderous things that make you who you are!
And you can always say a little prayer for God to guide a precious friend into your life!
huge love....from your friend that wouldn't change a thing about you! ~ kandee
